CCP Phantom C C P C C P Alliance 5829	Posted - 2015.07.03 18:11:04 - [1] - Quote "This week in EVE" is a weekly overview of EVE Online related news and events and shows what is going on in EVE Online. The focus of this overview is on official news from CCP: For example, dev blogs and important forum posts by CCP developers, the ever evolving background story and upcoming events. The previous weekly overview can be found here. The current "This week in EVE" gives an overview of the week from June 19th to July 3rd Dev blogs and announcements Fleet Warp Changes - Coming in August Release - Feedback Changes to Fleet Warp are planned for the update on August 25. The plan is to remove the ability of a fleet commander to warp the whole fleet to Probe Results, Bookmarks, and Mission locations. However, you can broadcast destination such as Bookmarks, Mission locations, Fleet members. The goal of that change is to increase individual fleet member participation, and also increase the time it takes for fleets to close ranges. CCP Larrikin provides further insight and answers to questions. Introducing the New Customer Support Help Center - Feedback Customer support changed the backend system on June 26 to Zendesk. This change brings a fully-fledged self-help with many helpful articles, and also a better system for Customer Support to provide assistance in a better way. Of course this change affects only the software, the good GM team is still there to help you! Please note that with this change, the ability to create and process support tickets directly in game has been removed. Changes to Video Monetization Policy The Monetization of Videos and Streaming Policy has been clarified after inquiries from the player community. The updated policy is in effect since July 1st, 2015. Note that the use of in-game assets for (stream) subscription-only based prize draws and incentives constitute real money trading (RMT). This is against our policies. Check out the discussion link for further insight. World news and background story Corporations in the spotlight : Rapid Withdrawal ISD Jarrett Pelley continues the interesting "Corporations in the Spotlight" series presenting this time Rapid Withdrawal. Rapid Withdrawal specializes in faction warfare GÇ£fighting for the glory of the Gallente.GÇ¥ Founded early 2012, Rapid Withdrawl currently has 152 members and is based in The Citadel region. Corporation Spotlight: Pro Synergy Another excellent "Corporations in the Spotlight" by ISD Jarret Pelley features the well-known corporation Pro Synergy. Pro Synergy is a high-sec based corporation specialized on salvaging and looting. The business model is salvaging the wrecks left behind by a mission running in consent and then splitting the rewards from salvaging and looting with said mission runner. This business can be especially lucrative for new players, but the fun from the social interaction here is also not to be underestimated! Wormhole Fight Escalates As Residents Repel Major Invasion ISD Lunaire Elois reports about a conflict between The Dark Space Initiative (TDSIN) and Lazerhawks and a massive capital fight in the wormhole system J142528 between those entities. Read this interesting report with beautiful screenshots to see who had the upper hand in this conflict and how it all ended! Tukoss fate confirmed GÇô Capsuleers recognized by DED After an expedition from Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. [IKAME] discovered the remains of Dr. Tukoss along...

CCP Phantom C C P C C P Alliance 5829	Posted - 2015.07.03 18:11:10 - [2] - Quote Community Alliance logos on TQ Every logo (181 in total) that has been submitted and approved have been uploaded to TQ and should be displaying now. Approved logos that have been submitted since that upload will be uploaded with the next batch. We don't currently have an ETA for the next batch, because we want to group them together before uploading. Graphic and art Scale of ships and hull features Even small ships are huge! CCP Darwin points out that even on the smallest ships the "cockpit" is several stories high. Weapons fitted on other ships - visible or not? When you don't use the "Look At" option to look at other ships, but simply point your camera onto other ships and zoom in, you won't see weapons fitted on the ships. To see the weapons fitted, please use the "Look at" option at this moment. The geometry loading worked always this way, but of course there is always room for improvements! Game design and development Hull tanking Hull tanking - and the weakness of hull/remote hull repair modules - is intentional. Hull tanking is not supposed to be a second kind of armor tanking with just a different name. Instead it is supposed to open up new, interesting ways of game play. Knowing that hull tanking is pure buffer tanking gives the game designers also nice balancing options. Locking drone sizes to ship classes? No. Would it be good if you could use only drones that match your ship class (frigate/destroyer - small drones, cruiser/battlecruiers - medium drones, battleships - heavy drones)? No! CCP Rise explains why especially the wide range of drones you can use with your ship leads to interesting game play. Locking (drone) ships to drones that match their size is not wanted. New Player Experience - Feedback Q&A CCP Rise has an interesting FAQ about the New Player Experience (NPE) and starting skills. Check out this FAQ and also learn more about character attributes and if they should be removed or not. Module Tiericide GÇô Shield Rechargers and Others The Tiericide project continues with the goal to reduce unnecessary complexity and to provide meaningful options within the module set. This time CCP Terminus looks at Shield Rechargers, Shield Power Relays, and Shield Flux Coils. Since this is early in the design, feedback is valuable and can lead to change. Issues and workaround Wrong password or new IP When you enter your password incorrectly, you are directed to the same page is if you entered the password correctly from an unfamiliar IP, but the login attempt will always fail, even if you enter the correct character name. This makes it harder for someone attacking your account to tell if they have the correct password. Frame Rate Drop and Lag During Hacking Minigame - Bug reports reuqired Do you encounter frame drops and lag during the hacking minigame? Please write a bug report! Simply use the in-game bug report tool in the F12 help menu. Lore Average lifespan of regular humans in New Eden A regular human with a normal standard of living in any of the empires can expect to live around 120-140 years. It's not uncommon at all for most regular citizens to still be alive and in good health at the prime of their life when they celebrate their 100th birthday. What are the Drifters up to? What are the Drifters up to? Are they in wormhole space? Ar... CCP Phantom - Senior Community Developer - Volunteer Manager

Legs are ok :-) After all, it was all a team effort and we all cycled only 10-20 minutes each before getting replaced by the next team member.
