Whoah, I wasn't expecting such a positive feedback. We are simply fixing some things that we broke so that we can move forward. Tbh we've had our head somewhat placed in the lowermost segment of the large intestine and are finally coming out for air.

Anyway, in regards to questions for a boarding animation, given how a dramatic event that is, you can always go and watch this, which we made a while ago. It was supposed to underscore how painful and nasty it is for a capsuleer to emerge from his pod and be nothing but a vulnerable weak piece of clonemeat.

We opted for no cut scene ingame, simply because it happens so often. Way back in beta we had this beautiful 2001-esque docking sequence, every time you wanted to dock with a station. Ofc, after docking a few times, it became tedious as hell, so we decided to sacrifice immersion on the altar of usability. Same applies for a pod-exit cut scene.

Well, when expectations are low enough, even removing work you've done can be an improvement.

Your on the right track CCP, now just remove the macro-transactions and you'll get more people on your side.

The screenshots didn't show the exact buttons you use to board and unboard your ship, they will be placed close to the undock button on your neocom most likely.

It may take a couple of weeks for these changes to hit Singularity. I can't make promises on the exact date at the moment. But in any case, they are live on what we refer to as "MAIN", which is the internal development branch, and what we see internally when we fetch latest code. So, in typical programmer-speak: "It works on my machine!".

In regards to the Cyno effect, it's not an exact copy of the old effect, it's still supposed to communicate the hadron-tearing disruption of the time space continuum being violated. Or something along those lines. Let's see what people think once it's on Singularity, and we'll take it from there.

Will they be staying, or will they be 'redesigned' again? Please say they are staying.

Rather than a checkbox in the escape menu, you will simply be able to board and unboard your ship, toggling between CaptainGÇÿs Quarters and Ship Spinning mode.

Confirming new font.

As it turns out, it didnGÇÿt allow you to look at the ship from all angles, it requires far more GPU and CPU power than simply rendering a ship and a hangar and, importantly, we didnGÇÿt retain UI functionality such as drag-dropping a ship onto your hangar to activate it or double-clicking on the ship to open its cargo. We know that itGÇÿs annoying as hell logging into a station on a craptop trying to sort out some market orders and feel it slowly roasting your lap while it renders your pencil skirt-wearing Caldari commander lady. We are addressing this now.

I would say good job CCP, but these fixes are long past overdue.

I honestly have no idea why all these posters are cheering for the fact that CCP has demonstrated that they have the ability to basically 'CTRL + Z' undo a whole pile of giant f'ups.

I'm waiting to see any actual new features besides a new in game font. People have only been complaining about its legibility since I started playing EVE 6 or so years ago.

Stop releasing 1/2 baked crap and actually sit down and improve the game.

In the past few months I've come across broken mission chains where the next agent I am supposed to speak with doesn't exist. Had to deal with borked COSMOS rewards & Standings boosts. And the fun process of fixing my sec status by killing NPC pirates. Should only take me a few more weeks and about 60 more battleship kills once every 15 minutes/system jump before I can maybe enter highsec again.

I'm still waiting on promised features like treaties, a serious look at moon goo, and maybe the thought of a captains quarters that does something besides fry my video board.

Announcing new features that are just returning old features means you messed up and should say sorry, not expect lauds and praise. Get Hilmar or whomever is currently running CCP to actually put up a fight for EVE and I might actually try to convince corp mates to come back log back into this game.

You got some fair points... :D
Treaties!!! give me some!!! That might be what sends me to null in the end ( for the first time )
