Apocrypha Fleet Testing starts today, and we need you!
2009-03-06T13:43+00:00
The launch for EVE Online: Apocrypha is rapidly approaching! It will bring an immense amount of new content, tweaks, and optimizations to EVE; these will all affect how stable, smooth, and fun fleet fights are. We think you'll be happy with the changes we've made; of course now we need to put it to the test in a "live-like" situation! To that end we will be running a series of fleet fights on our main test server, Singularity, starting today and we need your help to do it.
For more information and details on how to participate, please go to this forum thread!

New Chronicle: We Humans
2009-03-02T14:11+00:00
Before you lies the ship that Jamyl Sarum used to destroyed the Minmatar at the Battle of Mekhios, surrounded by a rogue drone hive, mysterious minerals and, to make things worse, there’s a Blood Raider ship nearby. Imagine being a Thukker captain making this realization… what would you do? Would you risk your life and that of your crew to destroy this monstrosity?
“We Humans” is a new EVE Chronicle and is the fifth installment of our “End of the World” series. Published every other Monday, Chronicles are intended to examine the various aspects of life in New Eden. The entire list is contained here.
You may discuss the new Chronicle here.

Implant groups and statistics removed from the EVE API.
2009-03-02T01:50+00:00
Hello Capsuleers,
Due to issues that were having a detrimental effect on the database we have temporarily suspended the display of implants within the EVE API. The basic impact of this change is that the EVE API will report that all characters have no implants within third party software like EVEMon. EVEmon currently displays character attributes (charisma, intelligence etc.) and implant groups and will therefore now report incorrect abilities and skill training times. Skill training times on Tranquility will not be affected by changes to the API and all implants will still work correctly in-game.
EVEMon will allow you to manually set your character's implants. The option to do this is under Tools -> Manual Implant Groups. Manually inputting your characters implants will allow EVEmon to display correct training times.
We are working to resolve this issue but do not have a time frame when we can implement the implant groups into the EVE API again. Please see this thread if you have any comments or queries.
