So I quit EvE three years ago, - I was really in to 1v1 in null sec and just couldn't get those fights I'd loved for the previous 5 years. So I decided to take an indefinite break, around the same time I quit smoking as it happens...two seconds while I light this cig...and now I'm back. Why, because no other game I have ever tried rivaled eve.
So now I'm wondering, can anyone give me a BRIEF lowdown on changes to the game, or point me in the direction I can catch up real quick without having to go through years of patch notes.
About to log in now, and can't remember if I even have any assets, so all I can offer any of you kind folks is pure unconditional, recreational, sometimes messy love! And of course a virtual space hug |

All ships have been or are being rebalanced, making t1 frigs and cruisers much more viable and widely used,
FW has been overhauled, making it more lucrative and a good place for pvp in cheap t1 frigs, cruisers and destroyers,
Warp speed has been altered, so smaller ships warp much faster, but BC and above warps really slow and people really dont use them much at all, especially when combined with the cruiser buffs.
Gallente have gone from worst all round to best all round, and drone ships are dominating the fleet meta.
Ancillary active mods have been added, that use cap boosters+nanite paste to give extra rep, they have made active tanking for small scale work really viable.
There are now micro jump drive mods that jump you 100k (*afaik) in the direction you're pointing.
Medium rails are really good, cerb is one of the better Hacs, not many folk use zealots anymore, or drakes or hurricanes, plus all sorts of other crazy skyisfalling stuff.
Most likely plenty more.
Also there has been much drama, most of which has been largely forgotten.

3 years... lets see if I can give you some usefull info...
Interceptor are now interdiction nullified in the way T3's with immobility drivers are
Titans can no longer lock subcaps
Drakes and canes were nerfed. You can still get the old cane, but its now called "fleet issue". The Drake is really gone. In general a large number of ships have been revamped to be specialized. I'd suggest checking stats and bonusses before buying or undocking.
Drones were buffed with mods, including a damage one like heatsinks and gyro's. This has led to a massive increase in droneships. It also created trouble, which is why you'd be wise to look up some blogs. They're still tuning.
Instead of moon goo, nullsec alliances are now using rental empires. The total number of blocks has dropped to just 2. For you this has a massive added bonus; you're average nullsec dweller is now a carebear. Chances of catching people are much much higher.
The rest just sneaked up on me these last three years m8.
Welcome back!

Most of the artwork has been redone or upgraded, including the sky boxes (look at the stars!). On that note, the stars themselves as well... There is also the new warp and jump tunnel effects.

You can spin your ship in the station as per the norm, but now after a certain number of spins a counter pops up on screen. Then every so many spins (cant remember number) the counter pulsates to keep track of your spins.
Thats all it does though... Count spins.
Its extremely useful. |

LOL And on that note, Eve Uni has a ship spin lesson on their wiki that talks about the counter.

OK, everyone knows that smoking is bad for your health. Guess we could say playing Eve is bad for your health as well.
Anyway, welcome back to Eve and good luck..
