#eve updates

The first big post-expansion patch for the Legion expansion… doesn’t really have a lot to do with the core of the expansion.  This is in contrast to last summer’s Equinox expansion, which sought to revamp null sec infrastructure which saw changes and twists and turns well into autumn before CCP said we were stuck with whatever they had done because they had to move on to Havoc… which included…

first, im finishing my thesis (hopefully submitting by May 15th) so that's been taking a lot out of me

second, ive got to move, first out of my apartment and in its a friend until I defend and then I'm moving thousands of kms away to move back in with my partner, exciting but moving stresses me out so much

and finally I'm a bit ill, due to new medication and the stress of my thesis I can't really eat anymore? I've had to buy meal replacement shakes and im basically nauseous for a bit each day

so all this to say this blog might be a bit dry until mid-June, at least in terms of original content as my life is in a huge transition phase rn but I'm hoping to get back into memes, art and maybe even writing again (if I ever recover from grad school)

just wanted to let you all know as I really appreciate you all here, having this little corner of the internet has really helped me, especially since I've been living alone away from my friends <3

Friday Bullet Points about EVE Online in the Wet New Year

Did I mention that it is raining here in California?  We don’t have hurricanes out here because… they call them cyclones or typhoons in the Pacific.  Anyway, it has been wet with a dose of high winds out here.  But hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, and tempests are all ships in EVE Online as well, so maybe I’ll just go there. A New Rifter for a New Decade We’ll enter the third decade of EVE…

The October EVE Online Update has the New Photon UI Enabled by Default

CCP has been talking about their new Photo UI update for a while now.  It was on the test server for a while, then came to the main server as an opt-in beta option back in April. I looked into it initially on the test server and… I was convinced I should let CCP work on it for a while before I gave it a try on main.  There were a lot of odd issues, plus the usual CCP UI sin of thinking players…

Faction Warfare Updates are Kicking Off in EVE Online

Promised at Fanfest back in early May and occasionally hinted at over the summer, the beginning of the Faction Warfare updates have finally landed in New Eden. Faction Warfare, within the scope of EVE Online, is probably most akin to realm v realm in other MMOs.  But, with one server, you can’t fight other realms, as there are none.  Instead players align with one of the four major NPC empires…

The June Update Brings DirectX 12 Support to EVE Online

Summer is upon us and the usual warm weather player slump has shown up… if that is all it is… and before CCP effectively shuts down due to staff going on vacation they gave us an end of month update with some big changes. June 2022 update The big item on the list for me is DirectX 12 and what it brings to the table.  You can throw a lot of crap at EVE Online for its various failings, but CCP has…

The Siege Green Update Arrives in EVE Online

Today CCP deployed the Siege Green update to EVE Online, bringing at least some much needed changes to the game.  The term “siege green” is a reference to dreadnoughts on a fleet being allowed to go into siege mode, which greatly increases their damage output at the cost of becoming stationary and being unable to receive remote repair.  While there is an alliance with the name Siege Green, the…
