Capsuleer Survey

Knowledge-thirsty Capsuleers,

A better understanding of EVE Online players is a long-term pursuit of ours: engaging with you on the forums, talking with you at events, reading blogs, watching player streams, sending out surveys, working with the CSM – the list goes on and on. Not every EVE player is the same and there are myriad reasons why you enjoy flying around in New Eden; whether it’s the thrill of the hunt, pride in helping your friends, the joy of exploration, a keen interest in marketing trading, or something more.

Top 8 Promotional Video Game Music Videos

 

Unlike most of the other videos on this list, there’s no gameplay clips of sequences from Eve Online. That’s because the actual gameplay of Eve is boring as hell, so I can see why they didn’t include it. I kid, I kid. This music video is more of a promotional video for CCP, showing the staff in the Icelandic, Atlanta and China areas, singing along to the song. Permaband has done about half a dozen songs since HTFU but to me, it’s still the best one they’ve done.

Another great fleet last night

Last night was another great fleet. We got a total of 468 million in ship kills and got to have fun with Miss Marisha's gang in Tama. I knew they were around, just didn't know where they were, until I ask my Scout Chip Woodsman if Marisha Malice was in the system. He said she was and he narrowed down where they were and we helped and got the drake kill on the gate.

Here is a small clip from that fight:

EVE Online fixes boomerang exploit

Pilots looking to duck the long arm of the law in high-security space will need to find another way to perform their nefarious deeds, as EVE Online released a patch today fixing the so-called "boomerang exploit."

CCP considered it an official and actionable game exploit to avoid CONCORD retaliation in high-security space by attacking a target right after the aggressor warps away or within the same grid in which the player earned a Global Criminal Countdown. Those who used the exploit prior to the fix could have found themselves dealing with a much scarier force than CONCORD: game masters themselves. Now, any player with a GCC will simply be unable to warp away.

Other than keeping boomerangs in the hands of kangaroos where they belong, Crucible patch 1.6.3 contains a few localization fixes, the ability to add a station as a waypoint or destination through the API, and some pesky client crashing issues.

EVE Anywhere Is Ruining My Productivity

EVE Online In Browser Form Equals Convenience

Sometimes I'm bouncing back and forth between the browser with EVE Online pulled up to shoot space rocks in the background, something I've done on occasion while working before, but it's made all the more convenient when I can just switch tabs, go to full screen for a moment and make sure rats - or other players - haven't warped in to ruin my day.

EVE Anywhere is such a novel way to play the MMORPG. It's not like EVE Online requires a ton of system resources to run, either. My PC could easily run multiple instances of the MMO while still running the windows needed to work. However, there is just something about opening up a Firefox or Chrome tab and just being able to easily swap between the two.

10 MMOs That Are Amazing (After A Rough Opening Few Hours)

EVE Online is a notorious MMO for its incredible complexity and fanatical player base. EVE Online functions as a persistent world where every player, base, resource, and fleet can interact with one another in the near-infinite world.

EVE Online is one of the most complex games for new players to learn, so be prepared to keep wiki tabs open while playing. The game gets really good when playing with a fleet of other players or engaging in total space warfare, but usually, only the most skilled players learn to survive.

The authors of EVE Online confirmed work on an “ambitious” shooter in the game’s universe, which will “define the genre”

A shooter in the EVE Online universe, an evolution of Project Legion (codename), was already in development at London-based studio CCP Games. It was subsequently confirmed to be Project Nova, whose development was suspended at the end of 2018.

However, the creator of EVE Online hasn’t given up on his plans. The London office has been working on a project based on Unreal Engine 4 for several years. And new studio head Adrian Blunt, former VP of Game Development at Splash Damage, recently spoke about the upcoming shooter in EVE Online.

In an interview with MCV UK, Blunt said about 40 people are working on the project, but the final team size will depend on the game’s scale. According to him, this is a very ambitious shooter that will become defining for the genre: “When I had the opportunity to meet with the team, play a game, I was amazed at what the team was able to create.”

CCP London hires Splash Damage vet Blunt

Eve Online maker CCP has appointed Adrian Blunt as director of its London studio.

He will apparently be leading development on the company's currently-unannounced first-person shooter project, previously known as Project Nova. Prior to landing the studio director role at CCP London, Blunt was VP of development at Splash Damage, having joined the firm back in 2018 as VP of operations.

Before that he held roles at the likes of EA – working on FIFA Online – Ubisoft Singapore, Square Enix and online services provider Fireteam.

CCP has said that Project Nova is no longer going by that name and that it won't be announcing codenames in future. Before, this game was being created by CCP's Reykjavík studio, but is now being solely handled by the company's London outpost. CCP previously announced that Project Nova was no more with CCP London working on a new shooter based in the world of Eve Online. In December 2020, the firm announced that it was enlisting the support of Keywords' Sperasoft studio to work on this project.

THE LIFE OF SPACE BRIAN: UNEXPECTED HELP IN EVE ONLINE

It’s been over a month since I first drifted out into the open space of  EVE Online. My growth in the game is noticeable, though it feels like I’ve barely scratched the surface of how much there is to do. Still, progress is being made, and I found a niche that I enjoy, so perhaps that’s enough at this point.

This isn’t about just me, though, but more about some strange friends I made as I delved further into this storied space simulator.

It all started when I realized just how much time I’d need to dedicate so that I could give EVE a proper trial before passing judgment. It’s not a game you can simply hop in and understand everything at work, so it was going to take at least a couple days of playtime in order to grasp enough concepts that I would feel comfortable discussing the game at length.

CCP London’s Game Is a Genre-Defining, Hugely Ambitious EVE-Based Shooter, Says Dev

CCP, maker of the unique sandbox MMO game EVE Online, has had plans for an EVE-based shooter game for well over a decade now. Dust 514 pioneered that concept when it launched as a PlayStation 3 exclusive back in 2013, though the game eventually shut down after only three years.

When that news came, we also learned from CCP that another EVE-based shooter was in production, an evolution of the so-called Project Legion. That was subsequently confirmed to be Project Nova, though once again fans' hopes were eventually dashed as CCP suspended development for Project Nova in late 2018.
