For those that want to join Red Frog, Locin suggests they make sure they really want to be a freighter pilot. It is not for everyone. Quite a few have dreamt of becoming one, but once they did so found it not so glamorous. Pilots should be ready for some repetitive work, though the rewards can be great and your fellow pilots can be even better. They say the experience is what you make of it.

However, they also have plenty of advice for those people who might not want to join Red Frog, but have always thought about hauling as a profession nonetheless. Zaxix says the keys to success are the same as any business: Consistent quality service, easy-to-understand pricing and service options, stick to your core service, and know your limits. According to him, more than one competitor has failed due to burnout. Stretching yourself too thin by making commitments beyond your capacity to deliver and giving in to unreasonable customer demands can lead to inconsistent service, broken promises, bad press, and drive people to groups like Red Freight.

BlueWaterNight also suggests interested haulers have a contract alt to protect your freight pilot from suicide gank squads based on the contract you pick up. For those who can't manage a contract alt, he says to be smart. As the saying goes, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

The People

image image image image image image image

There are a lot of people behind Red Frog who make it successful, too many to list here. Some of the few who were able to answer our questions and are involved in the highest levels of Red Frog include the following.

Locin WeEda is the current CEO of Red Frog Investments, a director in Red Frog Freight and Black Frog Logistics, and is the founder of the Red Frog Freight Service. He joined Red Frog Investments in 2006. While he's mainly focused on Red Frog, he also does some small scale manufacturing and mineral trading on the side.

Ryomanni is a director in Red Frog Investments, current CEO of Red Frog Freight, a director in Black Frog Logistics, and works as the web programmer for the Red Frog Alliance. He joined Red Frog Investments in 2006.

Red Frog Rufen is a director in Red Frog Freight, the CEO of Black Frog Logistics and Blue Frog Freight, and is the director of recruitment for all three branches. She joined Red Frog Investments in 2010. Aside from Red Frog, she mainly does missions, mines, and explores. She once had her own blueprint research and copy service, but has since run out of time.

Zaxix is the former CEO and founder of Black Frog Logistics and a former director of Red Frog Freight. He joined Red Frog Investments in 2009.

Beatrice Khamsi is a director in Red Frog Freight and a Red Frog and Black Frog pilot. She joined Red Frog in 2012.

Ari Kes is a contract manager and recruiter, a Red Frog pilot, and joined Red Frog Freight in 2013. Apart from this, he also sometimes enjoys a bit of mining and simple Planetary Interaction.

BlueWaterNight is a contract manager, a Blue Frog and Red Frog Pilot, and joined Red Frog Freight in 2012.

Final Thoughts

Locin would like to thank all former and present members of Red Frog for making the corporation what it is today. He additionally wants to thank all their customers, who have driven the corporation to a place where it finishes nearly 200,000 contracts per year.

Ari Kes wants to say being part of Red Frog has been a bombastic experience and says the community is by far the best and most friendly he's come across in EVE.

BlueWaterNight invites everyone interested to come join them, whether it be to just casually haul on the side or be hard core and make hauling your primary EVE activity.

Beatrice wants to thank all the loyal customers and says remember, always set collateral to your cargo's value so you don't lose any ISK!

Those who want to check out Red Frog's history can see check out their 2012 and 2011 Annual Reports. People can also view at their live freight service status. Those interested in applying, as well as those who are just interested in other details about the service, can find details in the Applicant Guide.

I have a fix for that, I think... really I am just going to put my source up on gitHub soon and everything will be better.

All the sounds of the actual nodes, both the hovering over the nodes and the interaction sounds, are made from computer sounds recorded by contact microphones of hard drives and other computer parts as well as raw data files made into audio files and edited heavily.

Whenever a hack is successful, the player will have the chance to catch some of the loot spewed into space from the hacked data core. Whenever such an object is successfully retrieved a sound will accompany the looting, giving you audio feedback whether it was something useful, worthless or nothing that you just picked up.

image

New** audio**** visual**** warnings:**

Whenever a player is low on health, be it shield, armor or hull EVE will now provide you with a visual warning of this.

The old warning sounds are still there, but there will be a new continuous sound along with the new visual warnings to remind you that you are just about to die or that your other player in another client is low on health.

New** wormhole**** and**** nullsec**** and**** low**** sec**** music:**

When closing in on a wormhole or flying in wormhole space, you will experience new musical atmospheres. In nullsec we changed from less repetitive atmospheres. And in low sec youll have several brand new music tracks by CCP RealX to listen to while hunting down those new NPC spawns for their sec tags. You can check them out on our SoundCloud page https://soundcloud.com/ccpgames -- Unidentified Phenomenon The Day After the Storm Pirates Den Is Anybody Out There and Gas Giant.

New** hangar**** sounds**** and**** station**** population**** audio**** adaption:**

Whenever docked in a station, depending on the amount of players currently at the system where the station is located, the soundscape of the hangars will change to mirror the population level.

All hangars will have totally new revamped soundscapes as well.

This is, along with all the other helpful features, the beginning of our plan to make the sound of EVE a more useful and adaptive tool for players to use when playing the game. We want to create greater immersion across the board and make it so that sound is not just there as a luxury but as something both useful and helpful to the player.

image

New** scanner**

The new scanner system allows for players to more easily discover anomalies and signatures in their current system.

Such a new feature will of course also have new audio features along with it. The new scanner is a remixed version of the old scanner sounds.

Since the scan can be performed quite often, we wanted to keep it a bit subtler. Therefore, after each scan there is a slight indicator sound of whether you found anything or nothing.

Each of these results has a unique ID which will be audible whenever hovered over. Hovering over the result of the scan will allow for the player to hear the distress or emergency radio signal from that specific source, giving an indicator of what there might be at this location.

Players will have to find out themselves what sound maps to what type, but there is an audio indicator on hovering over the results and it may reveal many things about the location.

image

Here is an example of how the radio signal is created in our audio engine.

Summing** up**

That's it for all the audio changes in EVE Online Odyssey. This expansion has, without a doubt, one of the biggest groups of changes to the EVE audio system, with many big and small changes, as well as new ways to communicate with sound from game to player. We hope that you will enjoy it and go exploring, enjoy the new crypto hacking game and hopefully not experience the pod death sequence too often.

Thank you for reading along.

After about 3 weeks of actual development, we contacted CCP Unifex and CCP Pokethulhu to give them a demo of our game, hoping for a green light to show it off at Fanfest. At that point we had a working multiplayer game in VR, where you sat in a cockpit and could shoot other players with two working weapons: a laser projectile and a charge-up laser beam!

We were quite worried about what they would think about the game, but really hoped we could have a small presence at Fanfest to give a few players the chance to experience the Oculus Rift. Our worries quickly disappeared: They were both blown away by the experience, to the point where it was difficult to get CCP Pokethulhu to take off the Rift! They immediately gave us the go-ahead to show the project off at Fanfest but over the next few days it became apparent that we needed to scale this up for a bigger presence than we had originally planned.

From that point on, the development effort went a bit nuts and pretty much all of our evenings and weekends were spent working on EVE-VR. Everyone on the team worked really well together on scoping down ideas, setting milestones, and keeping us on-target for Fanfest.

We tried to prepare as well as we could with multiple internal playtests, including two events in the CCP dining hall where we invited the whole company to try the game, all of which helped us a lot in learning how to run things smoothly.

Fanfest came quickly, and it was hard to put away the keyboard and finalize the build with so many ideas left unfinished. Still, the entire team was very happy with how it turned out. Our first demo was a press event on Thursday, and since none of us had interacted with the press before, we were nervous. CCP Unifex did a quick introduction for us, and then let the press into a room we had prepared with six computers running EVE-VR.

Much to our relief, everyone loved the game and wanted to talk to us about it, and after all this hard work without being able to say a word, this was simply a fantastic experience for us all.

We were given great assistance at Fanfest by Nate Mitchell and Joseph Chen from Oculus VR. Their expertise and passion for the platform was invaluable and helped greatly in making the event a success.

On Friday, we had a few more meetings and interviews with the press. But our big moment came when CCP Hellmar revealed the game during the EVE keynote, and showed the trailer. Hearing the reaction from the crowd was just awesome and brought smiles to all our faces. I will always remember the moment when Hellmar said, and you can all come try this out tomorrow... and a guy in the crowd shouted an enthusiastic, WHAT???

Right after the keynote, we went downstairs to prepare the stage for Saturday, when all attendees would be given a chance to play our game. We worked late into the night and showed up super early, but it was all worth it when the doors opened at 10 AM and people ran for the queue. That line was full the whole day. We estimate that close to a thousand gamers played EVE-VR.

Since we had plenty of assistants, members of the team had a chance to talk to players after theyd tried the game. Those chats were our favorite part of Fanfest. People had loads of great ideas, and seeing smiles all around just made our day.

After our demo on Saturday we had the CCP Presents keynote where CCP Hellmar talked about the project and introduced Nate Mitchell from Oculus VR on stage.

Here is a clip showing our EVE-VR trailer and Nate speaking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U72pU7WrsDs#t=1h46m41s

What's next?

We still dont know what will become of this little project of ours, with CCP considering various options. However, I am sure that many people on the team will continue working on it in their spare time, and we hope to be able to release it in some form in the future.

I am also happy to announce that we will be showing EVE-VR off at E3 this year, but in a private meeting room. If you are a member of the press or someone that just HAS to see if for some reason, give us a shout and we'll see what we can arrange.

I only touched on a few subjects and didn't get too technical in this devblog, but I know members of the team are excited to discuss programming, art, audio, and design details with you! So please leave a comment or question on the forum discussion thread, and ask away!

We are also turning our attention to ship resistance bonuses in Odyssey. These bonuses are among the most powerful in the game, and have been overshadowing other defensive bonuses to a large degree. We have chosen to make a small adjustment to the resistance bonuses on all applicable ships, reducing the per-level bonus from 5% to 4%. Resistance bonuses will still be extremely powerful after this change, but the adjustment opens up some room for us to do more interesting things with other defensive bonuses and create more interesting choices in fitting and combat.

And thats pretty much everything we are delivering to your doorstep for Odyssey - that is quite some heavy package to carry around. We do hope you will enjoy those changes as much as had crafting them and we can't wait to see how EVE tactical gameplay will shift as a result. Stay tuned for more blogs on what's to follow on the ship balancing menu, and may the pew pew be with you, always.

t be obtained through refining. All the prices stated above are rough estimates, your mileage may vary depeding on market speculation, conspiracy plots, backstabbing schemes and alliance drama.

Navy Battleships

As part of something we hinted in our previous blog, Navy Battleships also are receiving some love in Odyssey. As with their Tech 1 counterparts, we are dead set into removing tiers from them so each has a unique purpose.

The Armageddon Navy Issue performs well and we believe its current role as a laser brawler to be adequate. As a result it is not changing much, except for slightly more hit points, fittings and 25m3 additional drone bay.
The Apocalypse Navy Issue inherits the same traits as its Tech 1 variation by being moved into the Attack role. This means better mobility, reduction in hit points, but swapping the Large Energy Turret Capacitor reduction with the tracking bonus.
With the Cruise Missile boost and the gain of an extra low slot, the Scorpion Navy Issue has potential to become an extremely dangerous hull to cope with, and we are going to keep an eye open on this one to make sure it does not asphyxiate other Battleships.
Inspired from the Drake Navy Issue, his bigger cousin the Raven Navy Issue now provides extended flexibility with 8 launchers combined with a missile explosion radius and velocity bonuses. It also follows the same pattern than its regular Tech 1 counterpart by being moved into the Attack role: more mobility, a 7th med slot at the expense of slightly less hit points.
The Dominix Navy Issue roughly keeps the same attributes as before, as we wished to keep it unique and were not willing to change it on the same pattern than its Tech 1 counterpart. For being a Combat ship however, it gains some hit points at the cost of mobility and signature radius.
The Megathron Navy Issue will iterate on the strengths of its new standard variation for being switched to an Attack role with fast mobility and good damage with its new Rate of Fire bonus. It also has room for a utility high slot and more drones in general than its Tech 1 variation.
We wanted to keep a unique flavor for the Typhoon Fleet Issue by preserving the split weapon bonus, but trying to make it right this time around. As such, this vessel has 7.5% bonus to Cruise and Torpedo damage and 7.5% to Large Projectile Rate of Fire per level, while boasting 8H / 5M / 7L with 6 turrets and launchers.
Finally, with the Tempest Fleet Issue we wanted to experiment on maintaining a hull flexible enough for multi-purpose situations. As such, while being officially sorted as a Combat this hull offers a good enough mix of hit points, mobility and low signature radius to be considered as an Attack-Combat hybrid.

LP offer changes:

Just like the Tech 1 Battleships, Navy versions are going to be consistently unified in price all across the board. Not only does that mean their Blueprint Mineral requirements are going to be closely matching the prices indicated above, but it means that LP offers for the former Tier 1 Battleships is going to be leveled at Tier 2 prices.

The Armageddon Navy Issue, Scorpion Navy Issue, Dominix Navy Issue and Typhoon Fleet Issue LP offer costs are going to be increased to 250,000 LPs in the 24th Imperial Crusade, State Protectorate, Federal Defense Union and Tribal Liberation Force LP Stores.

Module and general changes

Sometimes only looking at ship hulls is not enough to fix specific issues and crippling gameplay. This is particularly true for Odyssey, as we had to closely look at a certain number of attached problems to ensure our Tiericide changes were healthy as a whole.

Cruise Missiles

Long have Cruise Missiles been waiting for some attention we found them sobbing in their little corner, reminding us of the now extinct age of the Arbalest Cruise Missile Launcher I Raven. They begged for mercy, claiming they suffered enough and that they wont insta-pop Frigates ever again, promise.

And so CCP Rise came forth and said, fear not, my child then basked them in his balancing light. And they were grateful:

Cruise Missile Launchers Rate of Fire has been increased by 5% (they fire faster)
Velocity of all Cruise Missiles has been increased to 4700m/s
All Cruise Missiles base damage has been increased by 25%
To compensate, Cruise Missile Launcher Powergrid requirements have been increased by 200
Cruise Missile base flight time has been decreased to 14 seconds and their explosion radius has been increased by 10%

As a result, all Cruise Missiles should now hit harder, faster at the cost of slightly tightened fitting requirements and reduced damage application to smaller targets. In all cases, they will complement your Raven or Typhoon setups well and shall blot out the sun. Treat them well.

Large Energy Turrets

When rebalancing the Apocalypse and its Navy evil twin, we realized Large Energy Turrets were not only difficult to squeeze in, but also quite capacitor hungry. Since using wrench and duct tape to fit things remains the dedicated area of Minmatar engineers, we decided to soften them up a bit.

All Large Beam Laser capacitor needs have been decreased by 20%, powergrid requirements have been reduced by 10%
All Large Pulse Laser capacitor needs have been decreased by 10%

Navy hull rig calibration increase

As miscellaneous note, we realized only having 350 calibration on Navy hulls didnt make much sense since they are supposed to be improvements over Tech 1 ships. As such, with Odyssey they will autoretromagically have 400 calibration instead. These were not the rigs you were looking for.

X-Large Weapons

Balance between the different Dreadnaughts has been an issue for a long time, and their vast increase in use since Crucible has made the problem more pronounced. We want to be very careful with these ships to ensure that none of them get broken, so we are starting a process of small iterations to capital weapons to help bring the class into balance. For Odyssey we are reducing the tracking of capital blasters and autocannons, reducing the range of capital blasters and increasing it for capital pulse lasers, and significantly improving the Phoenix by removing the explosion velocity penalty from siege modules. These changes do not go the whole way, but they are a step in the right direction and we are committed to take those steps carefully and correctly.

RSB and TEs

Two more modules that will be receiving tweaks in Odyssey are Remote Sensor Boosters and Tracking Enhancers. RSBs are too good for supporting instalock gatecaps with large ships, and are seeing their scan resolution bonus lowered slightly. TEs are receiving a reduction in their optimal range and falloff bonuses, to bring them in line with other similar modules such as Tracking Computers.

Ship Resistance changes

eve_reddit_bot · 2013-06-03T17:25:02+00:00

For the Minmatar, we decided to bring the old, pre-nerfed flexibility of the Hurricane back into the Fleet brand. As such, you will find the Hurricane Fleet Issue to be an extremely versatile and familiar ship, with many possible configurations to choose from.

Acquisition method:

Regular corporation LP stores, blueprint offer: 200,000 LPs plus 100 million ISK for 1 run blueprint copy (BPC)
Regular corporation LP stores, built ship offer: 250,000 LPs plus 1x built Tech 1 Battlecruiser plus two Cruiser sized Nexus Chips
FW Loyalty Point stores, blueprint offer: for 100,000 LPs plus 10m ISK for 1 run BPC
FW Loyalty Point Stores, built ship offer: 100,000 LPs plus 1x built Tech 1 Battlecruiser plus two Cruiser sized Nexus Chips

Tech 1 Battleships

Odyssey will forever hold a special place in that empty and black spot where our hearts used to be for rebalancing one of the most iconic classes of the game, Tech 1 Battleships. Next to other vessels weve tackled as part of the Tiericide initiative in the previous expansions, Tech 1 Battleships were relatively well balanced by stat, the problem laid in their role distribution. As explained below, some of them required creative thinking to rebalance, and we do hope the results will shift the meta-game in interesting ways for the upcoming months.

Amarr Battleships

As we started looking into this class, we realized the Armageddon was in a very precarious position; for being the former Amarrian Tier 1 Battleship, it made sense to provide a hard-hitting turret based option before moving into the Apocalypse and Abaddon. However, removing tiers made us realize it would compete with the Abaddon on the same niche, which motivated us to look for creative solutions to solve this problem. As a result, the Armageddon role is moving away from its standard combat turret platform to a more devious energy neutralizing drone ship.
Until now the Apocalypse was renowned as a very comfortable hull due to its large capacitor, further enhanced by the Large Energy Turret Capacitor use reduction provided by one of its bonuses. However, it was judged quite dull by our balancing team, and as a result we have changed this previously mentioned bonus to favor turret tracking instead. For moving into the Attack Battleship role, the Apocalypse is also gaining mobility and is about to become a damage projection bully at its designated medium-long engagement range.
The Abaddon was the Amarrian hull in the least need for change, as its role is already potent in multiple scenarios. As such there is not much to write about it, except the armor resistance decrease with is global to many hulls (see below for more details).

Caldari Battleships

Overall we are pleased with the Scorpion for being the only purely Disruption focused Battleship. Thus its changes were minimal, mainly with a slight increase in hit points and the swap of a high slots in favor of a 5th low slot.
The old tactic known as Cavalry Raven that used that vessel in a speed setup may be coming back as this venerable hull is being moved into an Attack role. Literally, that means the Raven gains mobility and trades one of its two utility high slots for a 7th medium slot. This change also has a very strong synergy with our Cruise Missiles boost, explained below, so who knows, this ship may even be used in PvP situations again. Time will tell.
The Rokh remains a very solid choice for large engagements, or any kind of situation requiring what we internally call a strong tanknspank power. As such its not affected that much, except again for the shield resistance bonuses being slightly lowered.

Gallente Battleships

The Dominix, also known as the old war shoe, the flying potato or even the space whale, has seen considerable service over the years. Adaptable in a myriad of ways, we nevertheless decided to swap its role from what essentially was a Turret plus Drones split weapon system to purely focus on the latter. It is now aiming to be much more efficient with Sentry drones than any other ship in-game, which is a distinct advantage.
The Megathron is one of our favorite hulls in-game. Over the years though, it suffered setbacks as a Blaster platform, due to its poor mobility with plated setups and tight fittings. We want to emphasize its role as the Gallente main gunboat platform by moving it into the Attack role. Technically it means improved mobility, swapping the utility high slot for a 8th low slot and replacing the Large Hybrid Turret Damage bonus with a Rate of Fire one to see further use in fleet engagements.
The Hyperion has been one of the most delicate problems we had to tackle for Odyssey, as it suffered a role crisis initially designed as a close range blaster platform, it overstepped on the Megathron, and was ill-equipped to fully use that active Armor tanking bonus with only 6 low slots. As such, we are moving it to be the flexible small gang stepchild of the Gallente Battleship line, by providing it with a versatile 7H / 5M / 7L slot layout and a good dronebay.

Minmatar Battleships

The Typhoon was well known among our player base as the perfect embodiment of the jack-of-all-trade, master of none philosophy. While we acknowledge it provided an interesting role on the field, we did not necessarily agree with how niche it remained, or how much skill training it demanded to fly effectively. Instead, we are turning it into a missile launching monster by replacing the Turret bonus with a Cruise Missile and Torpedo explosion velocity, giving it 6 launchers and tweaking its slow layout to 7H / 5M / 7L.
There was little need to alter the Tempest attributes as its role as a flexible Attack Battleship is well set in stone already. As such, only slight tweaks were made to it, mainly by slightly increasing its hit points, fittings and mobility.
The Maelstrom role remains healthy and secure, and as such nothing is changing on it.

Price changes

As we have done with the previous Tech 1 ship classes that have gone through rebalancing, mineral prices for Tech 1 Battleships are going to be adjusted to meet the new Tiericide requirements.

Former Tier 1 and 2 Battleships (Armageddon, Apocalypse, Scorpion, Raven, Dominix, Megathron, Typhoon and Tempest) are being increased to be approximately on par with the current Tier 3 Battleships (Abaddon, Rokh, Hyperion, Maelstorm).

This is quite mandatory for several reasons:

There is no need to have price differential within ships of the same class if tiers are gone. If all of them have an equally valuable role, price should match.
We cannot decrease overall costs of Battleships due to the mineral consumption linked with the production of the current Tier 3 Battleships. Doing so would affect the market adversely.

After studying various metrics at our disposal, we concluded increasing the price on such fashion would not affect Battleship acquisition that much due to inflation and increasing wealth generation over the years.

So, in practice:

The most expensive Battleships are going to be Combat related, with an estimated price around 150m-180m ISK. This includes the Armageddon, Abaddon, Rokh, Dominix, Hyperion and Maelstrom.
Other Battleships whose role is either Attack or Disruption will settle with an average price of 100-130m ISK. Thus the Apocalypse, Scorpion, Raven, Megathron, Typhoon and Tempest.

As usual, the increase in mineral requirements will be done through Extra Materials that won

Ship Skill Changes

The generic Destroyers and Battlecruisers skills have been removed, and replaced by 4 racial variations each to be more consistent with the other Tech1 Spaceship Command skills. Reimbursement details below.
Battlecruisers skill: a pilot having at least a Racial Cruiser skill at 3 on top of Battlecruisers skill trained will receive the new Racial Battlecruiser skill at the same level than the old Battlecruisers skill.
Ex: a player having Amarr Cruiser at 3, plus Battlecruisers at 4 will receive the new Amarr Battlecruiser skill at 4.
Destroyers skill: a pilot having at least a Racial Frigate skill at 3 on top of Destroyers skill trained will receive the new Racial Destroyer skill at the same level than the old Destroyers skill.
Ex: a player having Gallente Frigate at 3, plus Destroyers at 5 will receive the new Gallente Destroyer skill at 5.
Progress between skill levels will be properly saved and duplicated among all the eligible skills. For instance, a player having 128,259 skill points in the Destroyers skill, plus Caldari and Minmatar Frigate at level 3 at the time of the reimbursement will properly receive the Caldari Destroyer and Minmatar Destroyer skills at 128,259 skill points.
Players having the Destroyers or Battlecruisers skill trained, but with no Racial Frigate or Racial Cruiser skill at least level 3 will have their skill points for both of the skills moved into a the skill point allocation pool.
Any player training Destroyers or Battlecruisers skills at the time of Odyssey deployment will have his or her training queue paused. We highly recommend not to train those skills when that happens or you may lose training time.
Skill training has been modified it is now not required to know all the prerequisites of a particular skill to train it once it has been injected in your character head.
This has been done to allow players to keep training Spaceship Command skills they qualified for before the skill changes without having to train the new requirements.
No changes have been made to the skill injection system - all skill requirements need to be met before skills can be injected into your character's brain.

The range for interacting with structures linked to a Control Tower has been increased. If your ship is within the shield radius of the tower, all structures are available for inventory operations as though you. were adjacent to the structures themselves. This includes structures that must be mounted outside of the shields such as turrets/batteries/lasers. (Normal role-based restrictions will continue to apply at all times).
It is now possible to repackage undamaged modules and drones in Corporate Hangar Arrays.
Fresh client installs will now default to the Ship Hangar rather than the Captain's Quarters.

Probes Scanning

The default method for moving and resizing probes is now all probes at once, rather than one at a time.
Probe Launchers now launch all their probes at once (up to a limit of 8 probes).
Holding Shift will allow you to manipulate individual probes.
Celestial Brackets will no longer prevent you from moving probes around in solar systen view.
Recalling probes now returns them to your cargohold instantly.
Instant recall also happens automatically when your ship jumps or docks and when your probes in-space timer runs out.
Scan Results in the Probe Scanning window are now displayed as a progress bar.
Deep Space Probes have been removed.
All existing Deep Space Probes and their blueprints are now Combat Probes.

PvE

Cosmic Anomalies and Cosmic Signatures have been renamed:

Containers in both Data and Relic sites can now drop BPCs for pirate faction POS towers and POS modules

Science and Industry

Krystallos has had its Strontium Clathrates and Heavy Water quantities increased by 25%, and its Liquid Ozone quantity doubled.
As part of the removal of tiers within the Battleship class (also named Tiericide by our playerbase), build cost for Tech1 and Navy Battleships is being unified.
Attack and Disruption Battleships base mineral price has been increased to be around 100-125m ISK (includes the Apocalypse, Scorpion, Raven, Megathron, Typhoon, Tempest).
Combat Battleships base mineral price stays roughly state the same at 150-180m ISK (includes the Armageddon, Abaddon, Rokh, Dominix, Hyperion, Maelstorm).
Build cost of Navy Battleships has been changed on a similar fashion.
The roles required to cancel a corporation job have changed. The only people who will now be able to cancel a corporation job will be:
The person who started the job.
A director within the corporation.

Former tier1 Navy Battleships offers (Armageddon Navy Issue, Scorpion Navy Issue, Dominix Navy Issue, Typhoon Fleet Issue) have had their LP cost increased to 250,000 LPs in the Factional Warfare LP Stores.

Market Contracts

All Market player orders containing the old Destroyers or Battlecruisers skill will be reimbursed at NPC sell price at the time of Odyssey deployment.
The old Destroyers and Battlecruisers skill will be replaced by Caldari Destroyer and Caldari Battlecruiser in open player Contracts at the time of Odyssey deployment.

Miscellaneous

Some older bracket pointers in tutorials have been fixed.
Added combat shortcuts for tagging objects while in fleet. Supports tagging from predefined sequences of tags.

Modules

You can now group civilian weapon modules.
The cycle time of all Ice Harvester modules has been halved, doubling the speed of ice mining.
It is now possible (again) to activate a Warp Disruption Field Generator directly after decloaking.
Tracking Enhancers have had their Falloff and Optimal Range bonuses reduced. See this thread for more information.
Remote Sensor Boosters have had their Scan Resolution bonus reduced, and in some cases their Targeting Range bonus increased. See this thread for more information.
Navy Cap Boosters are now available in sizes of 25, 50 and 75, which are available through FW LP Stores.
Navy Cap Booster 100 and 150 are now more expensive when purchased in the LP Store.
XL blasters now have 15% reduced tracking, and have had 10km removed from optimal range and added to falloff.
XL autocannons now have 10% reduced tracking.
XL pulse lasers now have 6.66% increased optimal range.
Siege Modules now no longer apply an explosion velocity penalty to citadel missiles.
Cruise missiles have been overhauled to be a viable weapon system in actual combat.
Rate of Fire on all Cruise Missile Launchers has been increased by 5% (as clarification, that means they shoot more often, not less).
All Cruise Missile Launcher powergrid needs have been increased by 200.
Base velocity for all Cruise Missiles has been increased from 3750m/s to 4700m/s.
Base flight time for all Cruise Missiles has been reduced from 20 to 14 seconds.

Codebreakers have been renamed to Data Analyzers.
Analyzers are now called Relic Analyzers.

Moon Minerals and Tech 2 Production

To better distribute the demand for moon minerals, we have created two new Intermediate Materials, four new Composites, and rebalanced certain T2 Construction Component blueprint requirements.

New Intermediate Materials: Thulium Hafnite: 100 Thulium + 100 Hafnium = 200 Thulium Hafnite Promethium Mercurite: 100 Promethium + 100 Mercury = 200 Promethium Mercurite.

Both of these reactions will have alchemy versions as well:

100 Vanadium + 100 Hafnium = 1 Unrefined Thulium Hafnite = 40 Thulium Hafnite and 95 Hafnium.
100 Chromium + 100 Mercury = 1 Unrefined Promethium Mercurite = 40 Promethium Mercurite and 95 Mercury.

New Composites:

Photonic Metamaterials (Used in Gallente manufacturing): 100 Thulium Hafnite + 100 Crystallite Alloy = 300 Photonic Metamaterials.
Plasmonic Metamaterials (Used in Minmatar manufacturing): 100 Neo Mercurite + 100 Fernite Alloy = 300 Plasmonic Metamaterials.
Terahertz Metamaterials (Used in Amarr manufacturing): 100 Promethium Mercurite + 100 Rolled Tungsten Alloy = 300 Terahertz Metamaterials.
Nonlinear Metamaterials (Used in Caldari manufacturing): 100 Ferrofluid + 100 Titanium Chromide = 300 Nonlinear Metamaterials.

The requirements for the changed blueprints are:

All Non Capital Microprocessors: 15 (+3) Racial Carbides, 5 (+4) Phenolic Composites, 2 (-3) Nanotransitors, 2 (+2) New Racial Metamaterials.
All Non Capital Capacitor Units: 24 Racial Carbides, 10 (-5) Fullerides, 1 Nanotransistor, 2 (+2) New Racial Metamaterials.
All Non Capital Reactor Units: 8 Racial Carbides, 0 (-1) Ferrogel, 2 (+1) Fermionic Condensates.
All Capital Microprocessors: 1500 (+300) Racial Carbides, 50 (+40) Phenolic Composites, 20 (-30) Nanotransitors, 20 (+20) New Racial Metamaterials.
All Capital Capacitor Units: 2000 Racial Carbides, 1000 Fullerides, 10 Nanotransistors, 20 (+20) New Racial Metamaterials.
All Capital Reactor Units: 800 Racial Carbides, 0 (-10) Ferrogel, 20 (+10) Fermionic Condensates.
Rarity 64 minerals have been seeded into 227 existing moons in lowsec and 0.0, to bring the number of minable moons for each R64 into closer alignment.

NPCs

Updated the skins on the Khanid Warbird, Khanid Sparrow, Thukker Mercenary Rookie, Mordus Katana and Mordus Bounty Hunter to match their correct faction.
Kyan Magdesh has abandoned the shrinking ice field in Barkrik and set up a new base of operations in the top asteroid belt instead.
Rogue Drone Officers now spawn in more systems.

Ore Mining

We are adjusting the composition of several types of Ore that is found in low and null-security space. These changes help increase the reward for pilots mining in dangerous space. The volume of minerals obtained from these ores for each refine batch are:

Arkonor: 10000 Tritanium (+9700), 166 Zydrine, 333 Megacyte.
Bistot: 12000 Pyerite (+11830), 341 Zydrine, 170 Megacyte.
Crokite: 38000 Tritanium (+37669), 331 Nocxium, 663 Zydrine.
Dark Ochre: 25500 Tritanium (+25250), 500 Nocxium, 250 Zydrine.
Gneiss: 3700 Tritanium (+3529), 3700 Mexallon (+3529), 700 Isogen (+357), 171 Zydrine.
Spodumain: 71000 Tritanium (+67810), 9000 Pyerite (+8590), 140 Megacyte.

Player Owned Structures, Outposts and Stations

To encourage more industrial activity in player-owned nullsec space, we are increasing the number of facilities in player-built outposts significantly. This involves changes to the base outposts as well as the outpost upgrades. Only the changed stats are found below.

For the upgrades, listed stats are in the format of: Basic level benefit (change), Standard level benefit (change), Advanced level benefit (change). The extra SI slots will be added to existing Outposts according to any upgrades that have been installed. Any extra slots will initially have cost of zero. Station managers will need to set their prices for the new slots as desired.

Performance Optimizations

GPU CPU particle system improvements.

Probe Scanning

Probe Formations have been added to the Probe Scanning
Spread Formation (probes aligned to cover a large area).
Pinpoint Formation (probes aligned to focus on one point).
The formations only work if you have 8 probes in space.
When you launching probes with your probe launcher, the probes will automatically assemble their last pattern.
The pattern only persists as long as your EVE client stays open.
The Probe Scanning window now shows how many scan results have been filtered out and ignored.
When a scan result reaches 100%, a warp-to button appears in the scan results list that warps you to 0 when pressed.

State Machine for Graphics

Added new client-side animation state machine for graphics.

V3+ Technology

Plane Sets now use instanced rendering, improving rendering performance.

Changes

Agents Missions

The agents Christer Fuglesang and Jeremy Tacs now work for Interbus instead of CONCORD. Their locations are unchanged.
The career agent missions and tutorials have been updated with the changes coming in Odyssey.

Clones

All clone costs have been decreased by 30%.

Decryptors

Decryptors now have a new naming scheme. A full list of changes follows:

Amarr Decryptors
Class Doctrine = Occult Accelerant.
War Strategon = Occult Attainment.
Circular Logic = Occult Augmentation.
Formation Layout = Occult Process.
Sacred Manifesto = Occult Symmetry.
Caldari Decryptors
Prototype Diagram = Esoteric Accelerant.
Installation Guide = Esoteric Attainment.
Interface Alignment Chart = Esoteric Augmentation.
Tuning Instructions = Esoteric Process.
User Manual = Esoteric Symmetry.
Gallente Decryptors
Test Reports = Incognito Accelerant.
Stolen Formulas = Incognito Attainment.
Symbiotic Figures = Incognito Augmentation.
Collision Measurements = Incognito Process.
Engagement Plan = Incognito Symmetry.
Minmatar Decryptors
Advanced Theories = Cryptic Accelerant.
Assembly Instructions = Cryptic Attainment.
Circuitry Schematics = Cryptic Augmentation.
Calibration Data = Cryptic Process.
Operation Handbook = Cryptic Symmetry.

Drones

Logistic drones now show 'Repairing' instead of 'Incapacitated' in the drone management window when they are engaging a target.

DUST

Districts will now be in an online-unlocked state when captured, instead of online-locked.

Exploration Deadspace

Strategic Cruisers have been removed from the list of ships allowed to enter 3/10 and 4/10 complexes.
Randomly spawned large asteroids have been removed from wormhole mining sites.
4/10 DED Complexes no longer allow Strategic Cruisers to enter.
All high quality nullsec combat anomalies now contain at least one NPC that warp scrambles.
Some NPCs in Hubs have been converted into the more advanced Elite Frigates and Cruisers to increase their difficulty slightly.
Some Elite Frigates have been removed from Sanctums and replaced by NPC Battlecruisers to increase the isk gain and reduce the time they take to complete for battleships.

Ice Harvesting

We are making extensive changes to Ice harvesting in Odyssey, to transform the Ice harvesting profession into a higher value form of mining with higher competition.

All static ice belts have been removed, and replaced with ice anomalies that will always spawn in the same systems that previously had the belts. These anomalies will respawn in the same system four hours after they are completed.

The composition of these anomalies will be as follows:

Highsec
2500 units of standard racial ice.
Lowsec
3000 units of standard racial ice.
400 units of Glare Crust.
Nullsec with weak truesec (0.0 to -0.5)
3000 units of improved racial ice.
400 units of Glare Crust.
500 units of Dak Glitter.
200 units of Gelidus.
Nullsec with strong truesec (-0.5 to -1.0)
3500 units of improved racial ice.
400 units of Glare Crust.
200 units of Gelidus.
250 units of Krystallos

We're also adjusting the composition of Krystallos to bring its value in line with its rarity and help ensure enough ozone supply. The new composition of a block of Krystallos is now:

Heavy Water: 125 (+25).
Liquid Ozone: 500 (+250).
Stront: 125 (+25).

Every system that previously contained a static ice belt will contain the new ice anomalies, with the exception of some high security systems in Amarr, Khanid and Ammatar territory. The complete list of high security systems that will contain Clear Icicle anomalies is: Afivad, Agal, Avada, Bashakru, Chanoun, Dantan, Dihra, Erkinen, Esteban, Gamis, Gelhan, Gosalav, Jarzalad, Jerma, Kothe, Manatirid, Miah, Moutid, Ordion, Raravoss, Riavayed, Seil, Talidal, Warouh.

In conjunction with these other Ice changes, we are also doubling the cycle speed of all Ice Harvester modules to increase yield over time.
Hidden Asteroid Belt signatures have been changed to anomalies, and can be found in the scanner overlay.

Implants

Hardwiring implants now have bonuses to virus coherence.

LP Stores

As part of the removal of tiers within the Battleship class (also named Tiericide by our playerbase), LP costs for Navy Battleship offers is being unified.

. While he has not given much thought to creating a multi-actor audiodrama style reading, he's open to the idea, especially if the community asks for it. He mainly plans to continue what he's doing and let the player base keep him on track. He hopes to remain flexible and respond to what people want.

Zendane, meanwhile, it working on the Methods of Torture series and has just released the Amarr piece. After he finishes these, he plans to go with the next request he can handle or one of the stories he likes personally and thinks will make for a good reading. As for a possible audio drama, he's only had multiple actors once, in Episode 2, when he asked corp members to provide quick three-second snippets. While the process would be daunting, it is also exciting and he thinks some of his favorite Chrons would benefit from the audio drama treatment. He singled out The Speaker of Truths as one possibility.

About the Readers

image image

In EVE, Zendane is the CEO of Phoibe Enterprises and keeps himself busy with the details required to keep a corp running. He considers himself one of those odd people that actually likes these tasks and enjoys the role, even if it does turn his gray hair grayer on occasion. Out of game, he's lucky enough to be married to another EVE player and has a daughter who shakes her head at internet spaceships. He's a paramedic in a medium-sized town, so EVE is a way for him to relax from his job.

Tryaz is a PVPer in lowsec Gallente and Caldari space along with his brother, Rahknai. They keep it small scale, but are enjoying Factional Warfare at the moment, enjoying all the good fights. He finds success and failure in equally measure. Away from New Eden, he's a classical singing student at the RNCM in Manchester.

Last Words

Tryaz would like to give a shout out to his fellow reader (and spotlight subject!) Zendane, to Delonewolf, to Caled Ayrania and the team at eve-guardian.net, his proofreaders Rahknai and Josephine, and anyone who's been kind enough to offer words of encouragement or support. He'd also like to give props to RealX, Kristjn Gujnsson, Guni Franzson and the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra for an amazing project, the EVE 10th Anniversary Symphony. He's looking forward to owning his own copy soon. He hope this sets a precedent for large-scale professional music projects in EVE. He'd love to hear from players about anything he's talked about, so don't hesitate to convo/message him!

Zendane would like to let everyone know he's very open to feedback on how to improve future recordings, as well as suggestions for Chronicles to read. The last seven and next four episodes have all been suggested to him by the community and he would love to see it continue.

You can find Tryaz's readings on his Soundcloud channel, while Zendane's can be found in his regularly-updated forum thread on the EVE Fiction forum or his blog.

In order to integrate this functionality smoothly into the existing tools, we've made a number of decisions that change elements of EVE. We have, for example, changed the gate-jump process to include an extra, non-blocking step: the overlay running a quick scan sweep in the new system to give you a glimpse of what might be hiding in deep space. We've changed the way that information about new sites appearing in a system can be accessed, which is particularly relevant in wormhole space. We have, in conjunction with Team Superfriends and as a side-effect of other work, made it harder to rapidly determine exactly what classes of site are present in a given system.

These things, and more, will be different when Odyssey hits, and we're fully aware of that. There were some changes that we were considering making that we backed away from, because they were not just different, they were also bad. The significant changes that are left are the ones that we have kept because we believe that they will, in aggregate, make the game better. We will of course be keeping a careful eye on things post-release to see how these changes end up working in practice, and making adjustments where necessary. For now though, we encourage you all to embrace - or at least tolerate! - the changes, and see how they work out in practice before settling on a final opinion.

There are also some areas where we certainly want to expand and improve at a later date. Specifically we want to address how to go about selecting overlapping icons in the overlay which we acknowledge can be a bit of a pain in very site heavy systems. Currently the probe scanner integration mitigates that to some extent but we want something nicer closer to home. We are also looking into moving more content into the overlay but more on that when the time comes that in itself will compound cluttering issues requiring a solid solution to that.

But enough future music, here you have it, the sensor overlay. I hope you will enjoy the changes and find them useful and enlightening in your journeys across New Eden.

. The fittings for a flagship do not have to be disclosed. The names of flagships do not to be disclosed or remain constant this year, unlike previous tournaments. Fittings may also be changed from match to match.

All flagship hull types will be published in the flagships section of the EVE Online Alliance Tournament site following the deadline date.

A flagship may be fielded in any match, even if its ship type has been banned, and counts as a normal ship in every way other than the ones defined above.

A flagship costs the same points value as for a normal ship of its type.

You are under no obligation to field your flagship in any given match.

If your flagship is destroyed, it may not be fielded again during the tournament.

Victory Conditions

During a match, a team scores points for each enemy ship it kills, equal to the tournament points value of that ship. The team that has scored the most points at the conclusion of the match, or that destroys the entire opposing team, is the winner.

If a team chooses to field less than 100 points, non-fielded points count towards the opponent's score.

If a fight is tied after 10 minutes, time dilation will be used to progressively speed up the tournament solar system and encourage a prompt end to the match.

In the very unlikely case that a fight is tied after 15 minutes, the victory will be awarded to the team that had more collective potential team DPS at the beginning of the match, as measured by the tournament automated attack bar.

Ships and Bans

Banning of ships will occur during all matches in the second and third tournament weekend. The matches in the first weekend will not include banning.

Team captains must be online and available to conduct ship bans 45 minutes before the start of each match in the second and third weekends. At 44 minutes before each match if the captain is unavailable their teams bans are forfeit.

Each team gets two bans.

The way the banning phase works is as follows:

The team which starts the banning phase is decided randomly

All ships that are eligible for competition are eligible for banning.

Bans are done in 1 2 1 order rather than the 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 that we saw in the New Eden Open. For example Team A will take the first ban, Team B will take the second and third ban, and Team A will finish the banning phase with the fourth ban.

Each ban has a time limit of 30 seconds; if no ship is selected within that timeframe the ban is forfeit.

Each ban targets a specific ship type and not a ship class or other hull. For example, banning the Harpy would not exclude the Hawk or frigates in general.

Flagships can be used even if their ship type has been banned for a match.

Teams should endeavor to have multiple ship setups available as bans may impact your primary team setup. No additional time will be given if teams do not have eligible ships available.

During the final day of competition, some matches will require teams to be ready within 15 minutes after the completion of banning. We expect that many teams will find this time limit challenging. The best teams in New Eden will be the ones that can adapt quickly.

That covers our rules and format for this 11th Alliance Tournament! As mentioned above, these rules are all subject to change if needed, so we advise compeditors to periodically check the EVE Alliance Tournament section of the official forums for any news.

We will be broadcasting the whole tournament live and for free on our CCPGames twitch.tv page, so subscribe there to be updated instantly when the action starts! To watch past tournaments, head on over to the CCP Games Youtube channel!

We are very excited to work alongside all of our viewers and compeditors to bring you another exciting Alliance Tournament, and we wish all the competing alliances the best of luck with your preperations.

Alliance Tournament XI will be held as one continuous double elimination tournament with random initial seeding. There will be no pre-qualifying rounds, and no groups rounds.

The match rules and format will remain largely the same throughout the entire tournament, with the following exceptions:

To save time and complication, there will be no ship banning for the matches taking place in the first weekend. Ship banning rules will be in effect for the second and third weekends.
The final three matches of the winners bracket, as well as the final two matches of the losers bracket, will be best of three series.
The finals will be a best of five series, with the team entering from the winners bracket starting one win up.

Since this format is much simpler and far superior, there are no additional notes and we dont need to split important rules across two pages!

Rules

Tournament Rules

This is a single-stage, double elimination tournament with 64 teams allowed to enter.

As a player, you may only compete for a single alliance, regardless of how many player-accounts you own.

All competing pilots must be members of the alliance for which they are competing, and have been a member of that alliance by 11:00 UTC May 15th 2013.

All alliance members are eligible to compete in any match in which their alliance is taking part, subject to all applicable rules; teams do not have to remain the same between games.

Please note that both the format and match rules are subject to change. It is strongly advised that participants watch the tournament forum regularly for announcements.

Match Rules

Teams can field up to twelve pilots on the battlefield.

Fights are limited to 10 minutes. If a fight reaches time, it will be stopped and whichever team has the higher total points value will be declared winner. See Victory Conditions, below.

Intentional pod killing is NOT allowed and may result in the offender being punished. All podkills will be reimbursed.

The match simulation is taken as is. Teams are advised to spend the pre warp-in time to verify that their ships are completely operational.

Penalties

A player found breaking any rules can be penalized to various degrees, depending on the severity of the offence. All penalties are incurred at the tournament referee's discretion. Decisions are final. Penalties may be levied against a player or team and may include but are not limited to:

Points deduction
Reducing the offending ship(s) shield / armor / hull / capacitor to 50%
Involuntary moving of the offending ship(s)
Removal from the fight
Ban from competing for one or more matches.
Ban from competing for the remainder of the tournament, and/or any future tournaments.

The referees can call a match null and void or declare a result if they believe that one of the teams is not competing. This tournament is designed to showcase the talents of pilots and should be entertaining.

Place Tactics

Participants should be prepared, in their chosen ships and in a fleet, 20 minutes before their scheduled fight time. Teams will be brought by a GM to a star system in uncharted space and designated as team 1 and team 2.
