Originally by: Shadow Box Will the data transfer from spacebook to the game server be two way? If not, why not hook the alpha up to tranquility? It might help those of us without the technical know-how to get on singularity :)
It will be two-way yes, for example mail you send from EVE Gate will show up in game and vice versa.

Originally by: Jonathan Mcarthur Will Eve Gate use Javascript or Flash, or will it all be CSS and basic HTML?
Simple "web standards" markup with CSS and heavy use of jQuery client-side scripting. We have one Flash marketing banner on front page, nothing else.

Originally by: Zaboth Garadath Nice!
Will the 'Open Alpha' be open to anyone who applies, or pre-selected accounts? (Please don't do the latter )
Will it work through a proxy server? (Almost certainly, but I just want to make sure)
Apart from being able to send/receive eve-mails, is there any other ways you can interact in-game from this?
Thanks!
As stated in the devblog, this public alpha is open to anyone on Singularity. I can't see why it should have problems with proxy servers, it's just a webpage :)
And yes there is more in game functionality, like the new contacts/standings system.

Originally by: Ix Forres Edited by: Ix Forres on 20/03/2010 14:12:26 What will CCP's policy be on automated scrap(remove space, silly filter) ers?
Because unless there's some concurrent additional API releases, there's gonna be a _lot_ of automated scraping going on. Not to mention that this would probably herald a move away from API keys back to the old way of giving apps your account username/password. Which would, y'know, do wonders for security.
We are definitely aware of this and as far as I know the plan is to offer functionality on the API as well as EVE Gate, for exactly the reasons you state.

Originally by: Abdiel Kavash What about killboards? Will the beta release (or any subsequent one) feature CCP-driven killboards?
Sorry but the first release (beta) won't have that, and I don't know where that is in the priority list.

Originally by: Tyrodia Edited by: Tyrodia on 20/03/2010 14:53:52 Another who can't wait here :D Any plans for moving player blogs into this in any way?
edit: I know we have facebook style updates, I mean full length blogs :)
There is a rather lengthy list of features (such as that, killboards, mobile device support, and many others) on the to do list. Once we get EVE Gate launched and in solid shape we will start working away at them in priority order based on what the producers feel the players will benefit from the most. As CCP Karuck mentioned that priority order isn't determined yet as we are focused right now on the initial delivery.
The good news is we have put in place a full time team dedicated to EVE Gate development so this isn't a deliver it and walk away scenario, we will be working on this continually. We are being careful to put in a very robust base because we are going to be building on top of it literally for years. There's lots of good stuff to come, and everyone's feedback will be really helpful in making it happen.
(...and yeah I can be rather verbose, but I'd like to give you as much clear information as I possibly can and I'm not as good an artist as CCP Nimbus)

Those of you that can't login, can you login to Singularity with the test client? It could be that your account just wasn't active when the last mirror from Tranquility to Singularity was done.
Originally by: T***G0d When editing the bio, you can't set links, as in game. Will this change so that addresses will become links in Eve Gate? Would be nice instead of copy pasting. Besides no portraits, except Chribba's, and an error when you click on the space where your own would be, seems nice. I assume the speed will pick up once everything is finalized. Will this be the official discussion thread, and do we put issues here or have to file a bug report like on sisi?
We are still working on the links in bio and mail. We plan to direct the in game links to Evelopedia.
Regarding the "no portrait", just wait a while and it will appear. We have a new mechanism for rendering images now, and your image is simply in queue to render, and you get a temporary image while you wait. Just try again now and your portrait should already be there.
Don't worry about the speed, the whole purpose of this alpha stress test is for us to identify problem areas we need to improve on, and get more hardware.

Originally by: Seth Ruin Tested a bit of the e-mails. It seems mails sent in EVE-Gate to myself don't show up in-game. Mails sent to myself in-game show up in EVE-Gate only once they are read in-game.
This is a known issue for us that will be fixed soon.

Is your account active on Singularity? it's a different environment, not the same as live. It might be that your account just wasn't active when the last mirror from tranquility was done.

ffs. I'm frickin logged into tranq right this second. And I copy/pasted both user/pw into evegate and it tells me that its incorrect. And I manually typed then a bunch of times.
As said above, last mirror is close to 2 weeks old.

Yes currently account settings are hard coded for this SISI test and plan to be addressed within the next sprint. If you look at the account settings page you will see our placeholder information we are working on with combo drop downs for who you want to see and post on your wall. Same goes for who you can see as contacts. Wording will be cleared up as well on that page for clarity.

So... Will mutual contacts always be shown?
There will be an option/check box in the Account Settings to show or hide your mutual contacts towards others.

I get 20:32:48 Info The contact list you are adding to is full. Please consider trimming your current list.
which means I can't set standings to people or corps that I do not already have in addressbook.
Current limit is 300 entries.

Don't worry about your picture, it will come as it's already in queue. Our portrait rendering servers are getting a workout, it's all part of the stress-testing ;)

https://test.evegate.com:443/Profile/CharacterName/AddContact
No RequestVerificationToken.
It is a POST request but if the code responds to GET as well (or if JS is used to make the POST) then this can be used to XSS attack AddContact.
Users could use this to add themselves to enemy addressbook so that they can retrieve private info on target. It's probable it could be used to set blue standings for yourself on someone elses profile.
I am very aware of attacks like that, this one must have slipped through. Next time please submit a bug report :)

How many more of these very trivial attack possibilities have 'slipped through'? And what about the not so trivial ones?
I hope you're aware that EVE Gate is every EVE-playing hacker's wet dream? This will be the no. 1 spying tool. I already see the $$-signs in some people's eyes. Finding 0-day exploits for EVE-Gate will be a very lucrative business.
I just edited my comment above, this was NOT a vulnerability. It was a post by a concerned user, which I have now validated not to be true. We are very much on top of security issues on EVE Gate and do not want things like this to slip through.. which is why we need to catch them in testing before they go live to TQ.

Quote: Sorry, an error has occurred while processing your request.
There are no free RPC proxies available right now
Well stress side of the test seems to be working? Are there any metrics on the number of RPC connections are being used?
This is the error that is returned when Sisi is not available, the daily downtime for Sisi is 07:30-09:00 GMT but as it is a test server unscheduled downtimes happen as well. The easiest way for you to see whether Sisi is available is to use one of the available webtools, like these: http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/server_status.php http://www.eve-offline.net/?server=singularity ------------------ Tester, Scrum Master Quality Assurance

Edit: This wasn't an issue at all, this action was already blocked for HTTP GET. We are also using HTTP DELETE btw.
Still needs a token as HTTP DELETE can be generated by javascript.
Originally by: CCP Karuck

I don't think hubris is a pathway to good security.
The hit needs a token, it is insecure, HTTP DELETE is no different to POST in this respect and either can be forged within the users browser.
If this hit was not important I'd agree that DELETE was enough, however this very request can be used to set blue and gain access to users information.
I'm sorry I misunderstood what you were pointing out. I thought you were simply worried it was exposed as GET, I must have missed your comment about the token. I will definitely look into this, thanks for pointing it out.

Are contacts, mail, calendar and chat broadcasting the only functions planned at the moment? Will skill queue viewing/managment, assets, order and wallet viewing come later to?
Feedback wise - very slow (to be expected) and my mail is out of sync. Eve Gate mail is behind in game mail by 3 weeks.
Actually, your skill list and skill queue are already there and working (look under Character Sheet on your profile page). We have big plans for the future, but are still deciding on what takes priority... but everything you mentioned has been discussed.
Again.. this test website is running on our test environment Singularity, it's not your live data. Currently this data is 2 weeks old, and updated roughly every 3 weeks.

Originally by: Camios It does not load the character portraits even if I wait for 10 minutes.
In order to see how the image servers copes with load, we started them with a completely empty image cache. Your initial rush on the website yielded the expected results, the render queue skyrocketed and is still trying to catch up.
It's safe to say that it will require some more time to process everything it got during the initial phase of the alpha test, probably even one more day or so. Once it managed to burn down the current epic queue and nicely filled up its portrait and corp logo caches, it will become much more responsive and hopefully render the faces of the newcomers within 10 minutes of the first request, the speed we were originally aiming for.

Good catch Benjamin. Unfortunately I don't expect CCP to do anything about it since the data is 2 weeks old. I would create a petition however I'm at work atm. I posted a new topic over in the Assembly Hall hoping someone from the CSM will take notice.

Our design is to have almost all of that stuff configurable by you guys in an account settings page so you can decide what you do and do not want to show for yourself (with defaults being set to very safe levels). We just don't have that page done yet, it's tasked for sprint 4 (we're in early sprint 3). We're rolling out a new build now that we will deploy shortly and we will continue to address anything that pops up promptly.
Remember the intent of the test is to beat up the hardware, but obviously we don't want incomplete features exposing any info you want to keep private. The feedback has been invaluable and we really appreciate it.

The data being two weeks old is besides the point, having contacts available to be viewed without the option to opt-out is unacceptable in a game such as EVE. Unfortunately it doesn't seem that CCP cares as their only response is "this data is 2 weeks old". Thankfully professional companies that hold personal information don't take the same approach with my personal data. I wonder what would happen if Facebook made all friends lists available (even if the list is 2 weeks old) and didn't give the option to opt-out?
Like I said, all of what you've done is cool so far, but leaving the contact lists available on Eve-Gate is a serious lack of concern for your players privacy.
You are taking my reply completely out of context, I was simply replying to a person that was asking why his mail was old. We are listening to your concerns and making adjustments.

This bug has been fixed.
The mutual contacts view has been removed completely at this point pending further work on the privacy settings. Currently only pilots who you have set Excellent(+10) standings towards are able to view your contact list, if you don¦t want them to be able to view who you have on your contact list then set the standings to Good(+5) or lower.
We are taking note of your privacy concerns and working hard to further develop the system so it will best serve the social network of EVE without compromising the privacy of the pilots.
Originally by: Jae Car'das
Can a CCP anwser my previous question please -
Will full mail and calander funcitonality be available via the API and if so any idea how long after Beta?
Thanks
Read access for mail and calendar will be available via the API. Write access will not be available via the API. For the Calendar we will also have the ability to export the calendar in the "iCal" open standard allowing import into outlook, Google Calendar, etc.

Originally by: Zeba Ok. It now loads on my ps3 without locking it up but won't do anything when I enter my account name and pass in the top field. It just loads another login page that does nothing when I enter the account info again. Am I doing it wrong or is this site not going to be compatable with the ps3 browser?
Are you sure you have an active account on our Singularity testing environment? Please remember this has 2 weeks old data. Do you see an error on the second page that loads? something like "User not active" ?

Originally by: Avalon Ranger Edited by: Avalon Ranger on 24/03/2010 18:27:54 Reposting from the locked topic so that it is all in one place:
Mail: There need to be a button for sending mail to "Corp" and "Alliance". Currently typing in 'Corp' sends it to the player 'Corp' and selecting people from your contacts list is rather difficult with the current method. I'd like to see a method similar to in-game when creating mail. Sending a mail to an address that does not exist does not generate an error but fails silently like so.
Currently you have a Send Mail button on your corp and alliance profile pages, but we probably should add it to the Add Recipient window as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

Originally by: Zeba Edited by: Zeba on 24/03/2010 19:27:49 That looks exactly like the page it sends me to but there is no error field with that text. Nothing at all in that spot actually as there is no space between the 'EVE gate > Log On' and the 'please enter your....' input box below it. edit. I can't link images as I'm stuck on my ps3 for the moment as my computer literallu went up in flames due to a dying power supply. I was downstairs making some dinner when the fire alarm goes off in my den so I rush up to see smoke and flames billowing out of the back of it. I just thank god I kept it ontop of my desk and not underneath it as that would not have ended well for maybe the entire house. :P So now I'm doing a personal social experiment on how long I can last without a computer in my life and this dratted ps3 browser is pushing the limits of my tolerance. It was great as a chairborne forum whoor device but now as its my only link to teh interwebs its really showing its shortcomings as in it absolutely refuses to use any pagebreaks hence all my recent walls of text..
Thanks for clarifying this :) We'll look into the matter.

We will start enhancing the user experience as soon as all the features we planned for the initial release have been implemented properly. Some ideas from this thread, including the previous one allowing some kind of a contact list customization are definitely worth considering. Keep being constructive, we are taking notes.
As for now, you can use the top right search box for searching for a specific contact without having to page through all your myriad of friends.

Originally by: Dimitri Kerensky You also revamped the (elements of the) corp logos. Most of them are looking better now, but our one is on the worse side:
old one: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/images/corps/128/Stardust_Heavy_Industries.png new one: https://imagetest.eveonline.com/Corporation/661794950_128.png
That is very likely due to a known issue that we have already fixed internally, should be fixed on Sisi next week although your logo may remain in cache any future renderings of the same logo component will be correct. A part of the stress test is a new service for rendering and serving character, corp and alliance logos.
Originally by: ULTImatio I am still waiting for improved Profile Settings.
Currently we only have these:
* The following pilots have the ability to see and post to my broadcast log * The following pilots have the ability to see my profile's contacts that are not mutual
I really like to see the next one added:
* The following pilots have the ability to see my profile's mutual contacts * The following pilots have the ability to see my profile information
So we can disable these as well.
We already removed the mutual contacts section, what is it about the profile that would warrant privacy controls for it? ------------------ Tester, Scrum Master Quality Assurance

This is definitely a deliberate feature, you have to logoff manually if you want to close your session. Just think if you had to log into Facebook every time you opened it up. However, I think we should offer a checkbox for "Remember my login" so you can decide if you want your login persisted or not.

just a cosmetic thing with the next page and prevous page buttons they seem to be abit small on a 1920 X 1080 HD screen.
Yeah I agree the pager is a bit small on some pages.

the corp logo's do look different well mine does look better now than in game,so you may want to give corp's a chance to improve their logo's as i have seen afew that i know of and they look worse on eve gate than in game and to be honest who doesn't want a good looking corp logo outside of the game too
The corp logo graphic assets were all redone in higher resolution, so we can offer the logos in higher resolution with our new upcoming image server. Have you checked out how your corp logo looks ingame on Singularity right now?

Originally by: Issler Dainze So it looks like this is going to be that start of something great. Only complaint at this point knowing lots more is in queue is that our corp logo got really ugly. Is this going to get better?
Issler, as far as I can tell, your logo is hit by the bug in our current corp image rendering code which is causing some really vivid colors here and there. We already have it fixed and the fix will roll out with the new sisi version next week. Apart of this fix we are not planning to make any more changes to the design of the new corp logos.

Originally by: CCP Karuck All errors are automatically logged,...
What does that mean ? Is it :
Currently our logs are all in one big database, but we have a few ways to trace sessions within that. We also have different levels of "errors" and the most important ones raise alerts. We can't show users detailed errors, and I hope the reason for that is obvious :) I believe we are even showing too much atm.
We definitely want to expand on this for reporting purposes, and will look into that in the future.

1) The "remove" overlaps long the broadcast text only on "HOME" page
Already working on a fix :)
Originally by: Dorky Porky
2) i got a error when trying to send mails to same person twice ( two instances of that person in the "TO:" - should be handled automagically and not shown as error to user error text: mail.Messages_Insert (line 62) >> Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_#702996c_ADF9199F7211DF33'.Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.@toCharIDs'.
3) @previous point, is the long character_list a primary key in database to my character ? This should not be seen as there might be a way for me to use it in a bad way.
This is indeed a defect, and so is showing you this detailed error :)
Originally by: Dorky Porky
4)If i send message to "!" ( without the quotes) then the mail is sent, and in SENT folder it can be seen and is transleted to "R.I.P" ( non-link). who is this guy ?
He's a very popular guy, people are sending him mail all the time! Joking aside this is a temporary name for deleted characters, but you are indeed pointing out a defect in our system :)
Originally by: Dorky Porky
5)I can join 'empty' mailing lists - no input in the list name and just pressing "JOIN list" shows, that i have succcessfully subsribed to that.
Seems we are lacking a bit in validation, we'll get that fixed :)
Originally by: Dorky Porky
6)There is a mailing list with name "!" ( without qoutes) - is this the RIP guy ?
Hehe no :)
Originally by: Dorky Porky
7) It is very annoying how the "ADD RECIPIENT" window handles fast typing - it buffers all filtering inputs and then HOLDs the browser busy until it has processed them all ! If you type a letter and then delete it with backspce - and continue to do that quickly.
We can improve on that :)
Thanks for great feedback! hopefully you'll see the above issues resolved soon :)

What I don't like is the inability to send messages to (read:spam) the alliance you're in from EVE Gate :( it lets me select the alliance in the 'To' field, but it doesn't appear in my alliance mailbox and then, when I check my sent items, it shows the 'To' field as empty.
There is a bug in the "To" field in our mail system yeah, but you can send a mail to your alliance simply by putting in "alliance" in the to field. However remember that when we are done, not everyone will be able to send a mail to a whole alliance.

Definitely a bug.

Hmm interesting.. I'll take a look.

6)in MANAGE_MAIL_LISE, Access tab: filter "▄█▀ █▬█ █ ▀█▀" makes the tab not load up correctly, altough it does load nicely with other no_result filters. Proably bad_char thingy.
We still have a bit of work left on the mailing lists on the web.

7)in MAIL : Currently in "ALL MAILS" tab, if i press "2" or ">" to go to the second page => it jumps to TRASH and shows no messages there. Altough there should be 6. Confirmed this with another character too, if i have 21 mails in ALL MAILS tab it does this.
Defect.

Hmm.. this is indeed missing.

You can, just delete it from the trash and you get a popup saying you are about to permanently delete the selected items.
Originally by: Dorky Porky
4) "C C P Alliance" is also displayed in misshaped form, just has "Fallout Project (HALO)" was.
Probably the same defect as the Fallour Project one. The alliance page shows ok to me, but probably since I'm in the alliance.

X) When can we expect newer versions?
We generally release once every 3 weeks, but do additional updates for critical stuff as needed. Next update will probably be around mid next week.

We are currently pushing out a new build and a new data mirror of TQ. Looks like we prematurely opened up the site until we were ready.
Lots of stuff fixed and some more changes we'll announce here later today when we open again.
Dorky Porky, please try these things out again when we are open for business later today. Most of them should be because of the upgrade phase.

A new build of the EVE Gate Alpha is currently being deployed. All contact lists have been wiped from SISI so they won't show on EVE Gate or in the SISI client. We advise players who are concerned about security to change any positive standings towards characters that they don't wish to view their contact list. The default setting for all characters on your contact list is +10 standing and all characters that are set to +10 will be able to view your contact list.

Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of "watch list" that would replace the current address book with very similar functionality?
Also, how am I supposed to keep track of who I actually have personal standings to if it all gets overwritten by my address book?
Your contacts = your address book = your standings, it's all the same system now.

If I add someone to my address book, they get +10 standings? That can't possibly be right, I must be misunderstanding. Please correct me!
Hehe no they wont :) If you want to see how the new address book works ingame, check out the Singularity test client.

Your contacts = your address book = your standings, it's all the same system now.
So before Tyrannis hits I have to remove all the contacts that I want to have neutral (or hostile) standings to and then after the patch I have to add them manually to my watch list? This seems incredibly stupid...
To clarify: When we release on TQ your address book will become your contact list and all personal standings you have set towards other characters, corporations and alliances will be retained. Currently only characters you have set +10 standings to will be able to see your contact list and broadcasts, but you will be able to change this setting easily once we implement the privacy settings options.

Can you elaborate on that? Have you tried how it looks in the new client on Singularity? we are chaning the corp logos in this release, but there was at least one rendering bug I think we already fixed.

3)While Managing mailing_lists, clicking ACESS or MEMBER for the first time adds unneccessary path to browser path bar. Does not breake anything, just messy.
The mailing list management interface is still in development and we are currently focusing on other areas. However I filed a defect on this, thanks :)

4)Clicking "BLOCK" whilest viewing character gives standard unhandled error ("website is down for maintenance").
Yeah that feature isn't implemented yet, but it certainly shouldn't be giving you an error.
Originally by: Dorky Porky
5) mailing list with name "!" (without quotes) still exists, though this is minor problem.
I'm not too worried about that, but at least you can't create any new ones (just try to create a list called "!!").
Originally by: Dorky Porky
6)Long mailing_list names break the view in "Add Recipients" window
Good find, noted :)
Originally by: Dorky Porky
7) Possible XSS problem, in MAIL as TO address : <?> ' ! <a href="www.google.com">iiik</a> The html tags are processed as html. I could add javascript, etc stuff there and then legal steps would follow in my direction...
Nice one :) But this is a minor issue since the unencoded error is only shown back to yourself. But I'll file a defect on this.
Originally by: Dorky Porky
8)in MAIL: When deleting all mails from last (e.g. 2nd) page it does not automatically go to previous page, but shows empty list.
Yeah it should popup up to the previous page, I'll get that sorted.
Originally by: Dorky Porky
9) When drag&drop is the first action to the broadcast field then no matter what you do afterwards - it is disregarded.
Yeah we know about that one, it's already in our bug list.
Originally by: Dorky Porky
10) I did not get "notification" if i was added as a contacnt and notification was sent. Where and how should it appear ?
We are still working on the contact notifications. Currently the web is missing a UI for this, and we have a defect on it as well. When we are finished you will be able to see the notification both on the web and in the client.

12) ALL CHATTER - Broadcasts are not autoupdated - thus i cannot see any new broadcasts from my contacs/firends/corp unless i manually reload - annoying.
This is the way it will work for the first release. We will look at automatically polling and alerting you of new stuff in future releases of EVE Gate.
Originally by: Dorky Porky
13) Friend of mine tried to select char after successful login, but was repoted that "website is down for maintenance". Trying with another char on the same account, he got in. Something fishy somewhere. Though a bit later he got in with no problems - is this the "SOLAR SYSTEM LOADING please try again" issue with nodes coming up the first time ?
Can you send me the name of that character? just send it to me via EVE mail on EVE Gate if you want. There are no "Solar system loading" problems in EVE Gate btw.

14) Currently you cannot get full member list for corporation ingame. But you can from eveGate. This is somewhat security hole. (for paranoid people)
This only shows members in your own corporation, not other corps. This is also being added as a new tab in the client as well, I believe it's already in the latest builds in Singularity.
Originally by: Dorky Porky
a)And i still would like a "compose" button also while reading some mails. It is annoying having to press "inbox" again just to start new mail. Or use reply and then delete everything and start from scratch. It should be easy to add anyway.
I can't promise anything, but I'll run this by our usability guy.
Originally by: Dorky Porky
b) Contact FOLDERS, this is absolutely neccessary. And then show the folder name when person from watchlist logs in. ( e.g. "titan-pilots: xxx-pilot_name-xxx" with the avatar )
We know that people want this :)
Originally by: Dorky Porky
c) With just two tabs the color choice for showing the seleceted one is bad for understanding which tab is actually selected - the dark as backroung or the light one ? For example in Manage mail_list ,tabs like "Access" and "Members" Could it be that the tab which is selected is connected to the overall frame, so that it is not seperated like the tab which is not selected.
I'll ask our usability/UI guy.
Originally by: Dorky Porky
*)The status bar shows the link for BLOCK as "DeleteContact" - what is the planned difference between "Block" and "Remove contanct" ?
This is a defect, it should link to DeleteContact. We haven't implemented Block on EVE Gate yet.
Originally by: Dorky Porky
*) How much other people posts should i be able to remove from CHATTER ? I can delete comments to my posts from other users. seems ok. I can delete broadcasts from other people to me (done via profile page) - ok. Actually seems ok.
Yes, working as intended :) You can delete your own posts and posts that other people make on your wall, and comments you create and others make on your posts.
Originally by: BenjaminBarker Search for your corp and open their profile.
Two 'Add Contact' links on the left.
Once added, you still have an 'Add Contact' link (which does nothing) as well as the remove/edit standings links.
Only seems to happen on your current corp.
Excellent find, a small regressions that slipped into our last release. Already fixed this in our internal builds.

Originally by: Shaul Amaninatis When can we expect a new build with fresh features?
And have you considered to implement some kind of notification service like a personalised RSS feed for every account? That would be awesome because I could stay up to date simply by using an RSS feed reader. That would bring together the Dev Blog feed, the Eve news feed and the personalised RSS feeds for my accounts in one application (the RSS feed reader)... IMHO: pure win
There will be a shiny new build next week, we'll announce the exact date in an upcoming devblog.
What kind of information would you like to be in that RSS feed? We already have RSS feeds for all the news stuff, and I think the longterm plan is to use the API for anything game related.

Originally by: Helios Black After reading the posts here and the EVE Gate website, I was under the impression that you will be able to add and remove skills from the skill queue through EVE Gate, but after reading an article on IGN it says you won't be able to. When Tyrannis launches on May 18, will we be able to change our skill queue through EVE Gate outside of the EVE itself?
No, that functionality is not part of the first version, but viewing your skill list and queue certainly is. However, it's quite high on our things to add, and we will keep working on EVE Gate after the first release.
