- Alliance Tournament XII Team Spotlight: Noir. Mercenary Group and Surely You're Joking
The Alliance Tournament XII starts August 16th with exciting matches. To present some background information that would be otherwise unavailable and to introduce some of the teams participating in the tournament, the Interstellar Correspondents present interviews with team captains and publish Tournament Team Spotlights. This week started the spotlights with the well-known alliances Noir. Mercenary Group and Surely You're Joking.
- Theomachy - Battle for supremacy - August 9th
On August 9th we will see a wild battle between capsuleers for supremacy with one supreme champion! 400 capsuleers will fight to the end until we see a final winner - this is Theomachy! The corporation Repercussus from RAZOR Alliance has created this incredible event on the test server Singularity. With more than 50 PLEX, ships, implants and a prize pool exceeding 100 billion ISK, this event will not only bring eternal fame, but also valuable prizes to the winners.

Devposts - Hyperion / Release date: August 26th
- Heavy assault cruiser tweaks
CCP Rise presents a balancing iteration on Heavy assault cruisers. The tracking and optimal range bonus for drones will drop from currently 7.5% to 5% per level. The Eagle and Muninn will receive a slight boost to their speed. In general CCP Rise emphasizes that it is currently better to do (one or more) smaller balancing iterations than one huge step.
- Easily sharing overview settings
CCP Turtlepower presents a new additional overview-related feature: sharing your overview in game per drag&drop in chat. When you drag your current overview settings into a chat, a link will be created in chat that allows anyone who click on this link to copy and activate all the linked overview settings - warning messages included to prevent overview griefing. The current overview import/export functionality will stay. 'Restoring' your overview will be easy with this, as CCP karkur points out.
- Jump Drive Economizer Modules
CCP Fozzie presents a set of low-slot modules that allow saving fuel when using a jump drive. These modules can be used only by Jump Freighters and Rorquals. The modules will not affect briding costs.
- Second Static for C4s
As part of the wormhole update with Hyperion, class 4 wormholes will receive a second static wormhole.The second static wormhole for class 4 wormhole systems should be less predictable as they are in class 2 wormhole systems - it will lead to a different class of wormholes than your current wormhole class though. The developers are aware that the current PVE reward progression is not ideal between the different wormhole classes, that is looked into.
- Mass-Based Spawn Distance After WH Jumps
When jumping through a wormhole, the jumped ship will spawn at a distance to the wormhole that is proportional to the mass of the jumped ship - the heavier the ship, the further away the jumped ship will spawn. The suggested distance ranges up to 20 km for an average dreadnought. Activated MWD (and included mass increase) will not afftect the spawn distance. A lot of discussion surrounds this suggestion, all the constructive feedback helps the developers!
- Random WHs and the New Small Ship WHs
The spawn rate of wormholes that originate in wormhole space will be significantly increased with Hyperion. Introduced is also a new class of wormholes with a very low jump mass that can be only navigatable by frigates and destroyers. Those wormholes have a very high stable mass and will also regenerate mass over time - this means that they will be nearly impossible to collapse during their 16 hour lifespan. Those wormholes originate in wormhole space and lead only to wormhole or nullsec space.
Wormhole Effect Rebalance The system effects in wormhole space (Black Holes, Cataclysmic Variables, Magnetars, Pulsars, Red Giants, Wolf Rayet) will be rebalanced with a nice boost to Black Holes that will support high speed missile skirmishing. The bonus on small weapons in Wolf Rayet systems will be increased further while systems with Cataclymic Variables will see a malus on remote cap transfer together with an improve of the local cap recharge rate. Magnetar systems get a new bonus to bomb damage including void and lockbreaker bombs but excluding a bonus to bomb hitpoints. The wormhole system effects do not apply to NPCs.

I'd just like to point out that the Pastebin version linked first is an earlier version; the one I posted on Evelopedia is a bit better and should be preferred. |
