Big Talk

Phoebe is upon us…and It’s a brand new day for Eve

 

Patch notes have been posted…the finalized feature dev blogs have been posted, we have to do now is wait for

 

  • Invention updates http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/invention-updates/
    • a few skills renamed
    • less science skills requirement, but now provide a 1TE bonus per rank
    • change in Success Formula, putting more emphasis on science skills
    • no more Meta
    • rebalance on datacores used, to get all datacores the same use overall (still Mechanical is higher than others)
    • MULTIPLE INVENTION RUNS ! Yeah Baby ! Finally the loop is completed !
    • T3 cost changes
    • Decryptors merging
  • NOT IN PHOEBE
    • Different Outcomes
    • Teams for Invention

More Capital Caches for business as usual (using Blops to move pilots in covops)

Next patch is the Bomber Heaven Month… until the nerf to (de)cloak hits (still Bhock is selling bombers like candy 🙂 BOUH ! Tricked and Treated !)

 

Helping newcomers with missions and objectives

 

Finally we can all win EvE !

50 entries and maximum 10 years (but still only the currently known skills, so we still have to login to learn a new skill… and logout immediately before anyone sees we’re online)

And finally we can assume CREST SSO will allow modification of the skill queue from outside the game

Trial Accounts http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/trials-and-tribulations/

Many restrictions removed to help the New Player Experience (NPE)

Good for selling plenty of items at highest buyer price

Increased drop of faction PoS BPC (they dropped ?)

Increased drop of Optimized decryptors (that did drop)

Faction Materials added to the loot table

Reduction in size of Datacores (/10) and many other loots, to prevent to fill the cargohold too fast

A few High-Tech Trade Goods added (for ISKies ?)

WH C1-3 get the same Null Sec Data & Relic Sites, without sleepers !

 

A few changes to Escalations (many were impossible to access)

 

More icons to see better in space

Bookmarks and anomalies are now visible in Space (super helpful to select the correct bookmarks, jumping around a Gate)

The sensor overly now acts as a compass to see around you (with a filter)

Better display of brackets

Bookmark Shortcut !

Changes on Heavy Interdictors (more combat oriented)

Reduced HP (+ higher resists) for Sov Structures, making them easier to break and much easier to repair

Bombers sig increased from Bomb Launchers ; T2 Launchers hold 300m3 ; increased bomb flight time to 12s ; new energy neut bomb against Cap Ships

New rigs (Higgs Anchor) reducing inertia and max speed but increasing mass (?!?)

A few tweaks in the industry window, for better readability

Refunding a lot of items and blueprints that disappeared (Data Interface & R.Db)

Corps can now kick members in space

A few EVE API changes, in line with fixing existing functions and adding information on characters

Assets in PERSONAL Containers can now be searched ! (Finally EvE catching with API capabilities)

Doomsday in LS, hictor points

Mittani’s comments on Null post Phoebe

What will Null-Sec look like post-Phoebe?

  • Sov is sold/exchanged and Empires are shrinking to a manageable size
  • Many entities and ex-renters are trying to fill the void, but we’ll see a lot of localized conflict about the resources abandoned by the great empires
  • one big unknown is all the Capital Caches around there (in Null, as no NPC space is added [thanks CCP] everywhere in Null to hide those caches) and the spying to discover where they are (and who’s going to hit them to disable them)

Wait and we’ll see how those caches hold, drive conflict and are abandoned, sold or replenished

Hopefully not 5 weeks of Bomber Runs (not decloaking and lower HP structures) as that type of war is not fun at all

 

Kill of the Week

The kill of the week is an interesting killmail we have found through our countless hours of reading through the killmails this past week. It could be the most expensive fit loss, the most hilarious fit loss, or a completely random because reasons!

This looks like a fairwell from a player that is not all too pleased with the Phoebe changes

This was a pretty blingy (8.9Bil) Drake Navy Issue.

Shout outs:

Stu: Lockefox (@hlibindustries) for his new Market Show

Turbo: All the devs for all the changes to relic and data sites and bookmarks in space

Bhock:

This week shout out will go to Sindel Pellion and The Angel Project mentors. TAP is the only legit charity in EvE, an ingame friendly channel “The Angel Project” for any player (newcomer or not) having questions, needing help or recommendations. Mentors are online 24/7 to provide assistance to those in need. EvE is a harsh environment, less so with The Angel Project.
