The ship and capsule technologies in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/eve-online"><em>EVE</em></a> enable you to traverse solar systems in mere seconds, unleash hails of destruction that vaporize space stations, and provides <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/gallery/eve-visual-guide-before-you-undock/989719/">immortality through cloning</a>... but you have to stow prostitutes, slaves, marines, and livestock in a single cargo hold? Sloshing around in there with your fuel, no less. <br /><br />While the commingling of your livestock with the military forces you've rescued is hardly ranked as a critical issue in the game, not having enough room in your cargo bay for jump drive fuel <em>is</em>. Today's <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/apocrypha-1.5"><em>Apocrypha 1.5</em></a> release made significant changes to ships capable of using jump drives. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/19/eve-online-mini-expansion-apocrypha-1-5-deploys-thursday-aug-20/">We knew this was in the works</a> but <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ccp-games">CCP Games</a> didn't reveal any of the details until yesterday's dev blog from CCP Abathur titled "<a href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&amp;bid=683">Regular or Unleaded?</a>".<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/21/eve-online-balancing-effort-aims-to-return-ships-to-proper-roles/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>EVE Online balancing effort aims to return ships to proper roles</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/21/eve-online-balancing-effort-aims-to-return-ships-to-proper-roles/">EVE Online balancing effort aims to return ships to proper roles</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 21 Aug 2009 09:00:00 EST.
