Patch notes for EVE Online: Inferno 1.1
Deployed on Monday, June 25, 2012.
Features

Unified Inventory

• The tree view in the Inventory has been updated with unique icons to help identify different Inventory locations; this includes but is not limited to: all specialized ship bays, POS structures, Corporate hangar divisions and Member hangars, Active Ship and Station Delivery. The active ship now has a green background both in the tree view and window view.

  • The Primary Window is the Inventory window opened up from the Neocom button Inventory (ALT + C). This windows displayed contents will change based on the Inventory location a user has selected to view.
  • Secondary windows are those opened via SHIFT + Click (including via right contextual menu) that open up with their index tree view collapsed by default. These windows will remember their size, position, icon view state and stack based on their type and/or if they are unique.

Ships

• The following ships have been added to the game as prizes for the winners of the Alliance Tournament X. More information can be found in the dev blog 'Alliance Tournament X - Full Schedule, Prizes and Streaming Changes'. Etana
  Slot layout: 6/6/3
  
  The Etana came into existence as one of numerous secret projects under Tibus Heth's rule. As part of those revolutionary and paranoid times in the Caldari State, political emphasis on technological research was split between a need for inexpensive improvements in warfare and a need for advances in espionage and the arts of secrecy. One of the outcomes of that research was an improvement on the Osprey, whose versatility and low manufacturing cost made it a natural candidate for improvements. The resulting vessel maintained the shield defenses known among similar ships of its type, while adding an array of remarkable black ops capabilities. In fact, it is reputed that initial prototypes were employed to spy on interstellar activities near the recaptured Caldari Prime, as part of Tibus Heth's continually growing espionage initiative.
  Caldari Cruiser Skill Bonus:
  
  
  • 160% bonus to Shield Transport and Energy Transfer Array range and 20% bonus to Shield Maintenance Bot transfer amount per level
  
  Logistics Skill Bonus:
  
  
  • 17% reduction in Shield Transport and Energy Transfer Array capacitor use per level
  
  Role bonus:
  
  
  • 40% reduction in the amount of heat damage absorbed by modules, 50% in CPU need for Shield Transporters, and in power need for Energy Transfer Arrays
  • 99% reduction in CPU need for cloaking devices
  • The Etana can be bridged by a Black Ops ship
  
  
  Cambion
  Slot layout: 4/5/3
  
  The Cambion is the result of Caldari State Executor Tibus Heth's insistence that modern weapons of war be able to continually outperform previous standardized versions. While that effort is rumored to have been hit-and-miss (resulting in great scientific advances at the cost of a stunning array of misfortunes), it is absolutely undeniable that the Cambion has been one of its great successes, a feat that likely could not have been achieved in a different political milieu. The Cambion an out-and-out brawler. Taking note from the Merlin – a versatile combat frigate in its own right – this ship is intended to rush in, overheat everything it runs, hit hard with everything it has and get out moments before death can find it.
  Caldari Frigate Skill Bonus:
  
  
  • 5% bonus to shield resistances per skill level.
  
  Assault Ship Skill Bonus:
  
  
  • 5% bonus to light missile and rocket rate of fire per skill level.
  
  Role Bonus:
  
  
  • 115% bonus to light missile and rocket kinetic damage and 50% reduction in heat damage taken by modules.

Features

War Declaration

• The war declaration system has been completely overhauled and now adds a new dynamic to how wars are won and lost. Full details are available in the Dev Blogs, 'Changes to War Mechanics' and 'War, Modules and Super Friends'.
• Wars are now declared by the CEO or a Director and not through the voting system.
• The war declaration cost is determined by corporation size and the amount of active wars the aggressor has currently. Previously it counted defender wars. Price starts at 50 million.
• Several loopholes for evading wars have been closed:
  
  • If you leave a corporation while the war is on, you cannot re-join until the war is over or 7 days have passed. This does not apply to mutual wars.
  • War shedding is no longer possible. Corporations that are at war will continue to be so, regardless of joining or leaving alliances.
  
  
• All wars are now public:
  
  • You can view a report of all wars currently active and see how both sides are doing.
  • Mercenaries can offer their assistance, at a price, to the defending corporation or alliance.
  • Both parties can offer “surrender terms” and attach a price tag if you are a CEO or Director.
  
  
• All wars will now have a war report:
  
  • As mentioned this will be public and available to everyone.
  • Contains all kills and losses in date order.
  • Contains a headline showing the total amount of damage inflicted.
  • A Graph is available so you can view wars by ship class.
  
  
• Defenders in wars can get help from other corporations or alliances.
  
  • Defenders can flag themselves as seeking aid.
  • As stated above, any corporation or alliance can send a formal offer to ally with the defender for a particular war.
  • The ally counts as being in war against aggressor and is included in the war report on the defender’s side.
  
  
• Kill mails will now be known as kill reports. More details on these changes are available in the Dev Blog, 'Spaceship Murder Notifications':
  
  • Updated to have a nice look and feel.
  • Visually displays the victims fittings with an option to save it.
  • Shows the total amount of money lost by the other player.
  • They can now be dragged into chat and mails.
  
  

Modules

• Brand new modules and ammunition have been added to enhance player choice when fitting a ship. Further details of all new modules can be found in the Dev Blog, 'War, Modules and Super Friends'.
• The Reactive Armor Hardener : A low slot module that adjusts resists according to incoming damage. You can only fit one, but it lets you fight lazy!
• Drone Damage Amplifier: A low slot, drone damage module which allows your drones do more damage, much in the same way that Gyrostabilizers or Heat Sinks work.
• Ancillary Shield Boosters: A mid slot active tanking shield module which lets you boost a lot of shield but at a massive need. Requires charges to operate and comes in small, medium large and X-Large.
• Target Spectrum Breaker: A mid slot module that has a chance of breaking the lock of ships that are targeting you. Downsides is that you have a reduced scan res and it breaks your lock when going off.
• Light and Medium Web Drones: Light and medium versions of the stasis webifying drones we already have.
• Cap Battery Changes: All capacitor batteries provide an inherent defense against Nosferatu and Energy Neutralizers. A portion drained is reflected back on the aggressor.
• Defender Missiles: Defender missiles have now been split into size categories light and heavy.
• Overclocking Processor Units: A rig that increases your CPU, but at the cost of shield recharge rate.

Character Creator and New Player Experience

• The skin color options in the character creator and re-customization have been changed so the color of your skin is no longer constrained by the bloodline of your avatar. All bloodlines now have a broad range of distinct skin tones ranging from pale to dark.
• As skin tone can only be chosen when creating a new character or resculpting, all existing characters on TQ have been given one free resculpt.
• Bloodline hair-color restrictions have been lifted in the character creator and re-customization.

Factional Warfare

• A substantial overhaul has been made to Factional Warfare and full details can be found in the Dev Blog, 'Factional Warfare Overhaul'.
• Name Standardization:
  
  • The metric which determined control over Factional Warfare systems, Occupancy, has been replaced with Sovereignty for clarity purposes.
  • Factional Warfare Control Bunkers have been replaced by Infrastructure Hubs. This change mainly is cosmetic as no attribute has been altered except for signature radius, which has been increased to 4000.
  • The World Map Control Panel filters for Factional Warfare have been reworked. The “Occupancy” tab has been removed, simplified filters are now available under the “Sovereignty > Factional Warfare” tab.
  
  
• Factional Warfare Page
• The Factional Warfare page has been significantly improved to include the following:
• Information delivery has been clarified by splitting data over three tabs: “War Zone Control”, “Statistics” and “Rules of Engagement”
  
  • War Zone Control display war information for Factions as a whole, lists gained bonuses, displays upgraded systems, shows a Star Map with contested and vulnerable areas. See “War Zone Control” paragraph below for more information.
  • The Statistic page display personal, corporation and militia wide data regarding Factional Warfare performance.
  • The Rules of Engagement tab explains basic mechanics of Factional Warfare regarding territorial contest, upgrade process, combat and reward mechanics as well as consequences for joining.
  
  
• Station deny docking
  
  • All stations located in enemy Factional Warfare systems will now deny docking to the opposing militias. Neutrals are not affected by this change and can still dock anywhere they please.
  • All stations located in enemy Factional Warfare systems will now deny service use to enemy pilots that managed to dock before Sovereignty switched hand. Neutrals are not affected.
  
  
• Upgrading Solar systems
• It is now possible to upgrade a solar system owned by your own faction by spending Factional Warfare Loyalty Points (LPs) into the respective Infrastructure Hub.
• Donating LPs is done in close proximity of the Infrastructure Hub (closer than 2500 meters) and is taken from the respective Factional Warfare Militia Corporations 24th Imperial Crusade, State Protectorate, Federal Defense Union and Tribal Liberation Force.
• Upgrading a Factional Warfare system gives system-wide bonuses to the faction that owns it and neutrals:
  
  • Level 1 requires 10,000 LPs: all stations in the system receive 1 additional slot, broker fees on contracts and market orders created in the system are reduced by 10%, medical clone costs are reduced by 10%
  • Level 2 requires 25,000 LPs: all stations in the system receive 2 additional slots, broker fees on contracts and market orders created in the system are reduced by 20%, medical clone costs are reduced by 20%
  • Level 3 requires 45,000 LPs: all stations in the system receive 3 additional slots, broker fees on contracts and market orders created in the system are reduced by 30%, medical clone costs are reduced by 30%
  • Level 4 requires 70,000 LPs: all stations in the system receive 4 additional slots, broker fees on contracts and market orders created in the system are reduced by 40%, medical clone costs are reduced by 40%
  • Level 5 requires 100,000 LPs: all stations in the system receive 5 additional slots, broker fees on contracts and market orders created in the system are reduced by 50%, medical clone costs are reduced by 50%
  
  
• After level 5 is a buffer that does not give any bonuses, but prevents the system losing upgrades directly when fully maxed. See “Capturing Payout” paragraph for more information.
• Additional station slots are only added if they exist before the upgrade. New slots are not created if the station didn’t have it in the first place. Example: a station that had copy and manufacturing slots before an upgrade will receive one additional slots in these two areas, but will not receive any ME or PE slots.
• It is not possible to gain an infinite amount of additional slots by repeatedly upgrading, then downgrading the system: additional lines being used will stay booked by their initial owner until the job expires. That means an opposing faction may have to wait for the previous job owner to relinquish his line before having access to it.
• Medical clone costs do not apply to Jump Clones.
• War Zone Control
• Holding and upgrading Factional Warfare systems now have an impact in a faction success as a whole. Number of systems and upgrades hold in the same War Zone (Amarr/Minmatar or Caldari/Gallente War zones respectively) are counted as part of points, then used to unlock War Zone Control tiers:
  
  • War Zone Control Tier 1 – between 0 and 20% of total War Zone points: the faction LP store prices are multiplied by four next to their pre-Inferno numbers.
  • War Zone Control Tier 2 – between 20% and 40% of total War Zone points: the faction LP store prices are multiplied by two next to their pre-Inferno numbers, the faction receives 5% bonus to all Factional Warfare LP gains.
  • War Zone Control Tier 3 – between 40% and 60% of total War Zone points: the faction LP store prices are the same as pre-Inferno, the faction receives 10% bonus to all Factional Warfare LP gains.
  • War Zone Control Tier 4 – between 60% and 80% of total War Zone points: the faction LP store prices are twice as cheap as their pre-Inferno numbers, the faction receives 15% bonus to all Factional Warfare LP gains.
  • War Zone Control Tier 5 – between 80% and 100% of total War Zone points: the faction LP store prices are four times as cheap as their pre-Inferno numbers, the faction receives 20% bonus to all Factional Warfare LP gains.
  
  
• War Zone Control bonuses are applied to all the respective faction members no matter where they are – neutrals and enemies are not affected.
• War Zone Control only affects ISK and LPs requirements on their respective faction LP store offers.
• War Zone Control only affects the respective Factional Warfare Militia Corporations (24th Imperial Crusade, State Protectorate, Federal Defense Union and Tribal Liberation Force). Other corporations are not affected by such a change.
• Capturing payout
• Factional Warfare sites now give Loyalty Points when captured:
  
  • Minor sites: 10,000 LPs
  • Standard sites: 17,500 LPs
  • Major sites: 25,000 LPs
  • Major Stronghold or Major Compound sites: 30,000 LPs
  • Infrastructure Hubs: 40,000 LPs
  
  
• All LP gains are split among all eligible members. Example: Two Amarr enlisted players capturing a Minmatar or Gallente Minor site would only receive 5,000 LPs for the 24th Imperial Crusade each.
• All LP gains are also split toward allied factions. Example: one Amarr and one Caldari enlisted players capturing the same Minmatar or Gallente Minor site would still receive 5,000 LPs each – for their 24th Imperial Crusade and State Protectorate corporations respectively.
• Cloaked or pilots in pods or shuttles will not receive any payout.
• Only attacking enemy sites will yield LPs – defending will not. Example: one Amarr enlisted pilot defending an Amarr site will not receive anything. The same Amarr pilot capturing a Minmatar site will be normally paid.
• Capturing LPs through Factional Warfare sites will cause the enemy Infrastructure Hub in the same solar system to lose half of the gained LP amount. Example: An Amarr enlisted pilot receiving 10,000 LPs for capturing a Minmatar Minor site in Amamake will cause the Infrastructure Hub there to lose 5,000 LPs, possibly causing it to lose an upgrade level.
• Factional Warfare sites now give 20 Victory Points instead of 100 – this was done to increase solar system capture time significantly and reduce likelihood for a Factional Warfare pilot to be stranded in a station that switched loyalty while he was away.
• LPs for kills
• Destroying enemy player ships will give LPs to the player giving the final blow.
• Exact formula is: [Given LP] = ([Market value of target ship] - [Max. Insurance market value] + [Fitted mods, rigs and subsystem market value] + [Transported items market value]) / 10000.
• Please note insurance is always counted at its maximum value no matter what the insurance value on the destroyed ship actually is to discourage farming.
• If the player giving the killing blow belongs to a fleet, LPs will be split to all friendly faction members in the grid. Example: a fleet of 2x Gallente Federation and 2x Minmatar Republic members destroy a target enlisted in the Caldari State worth 4000 LPs. No matter who had the killing blow, each Federation pilot will receive 1000 LP for the Federal Defense Union, while each Minmatar capsuleer will gain 1000 LP for the Tribal Liberation Force.
• Standing requirements
• Required faction standings to join Factional Warfare have been lowered from 0.5 to 0.0. Please note that players having negative standings will still be kicked out of their respective faction as usual.
• The Advanced Military Career Path tutorial has been adjusted in consequence – the final mission now gives the Rapid Firing skill book instead of a Letter of Recommendation.
• Research agents and datacore changes
• Datacore offers have been added to Factional Warfare Militia Corporations (250 LP and 250,000 ISK for a package of 5):
  
  • 24th Imperial Crusade: Amarrian Starship Engineering, High Energy Physics, Laser Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Nanite Engineering.
  • State Protectorate: Caldari Starship Engineering, Graviton Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Quantum Physics, Rocket Science.
  • Federal Defense Union: Electromagnetic Physics, Electronic Engineering, Gallentean Starship Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Plasma Physics.
  • Tribal Liberal Force: Hydromagnetic Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Minmatar Starship Engineering, Molecular Engineering, Nuclear Physics.
  
  
• Please remember all above prices are affected by War Zone Control LP Store multipliers.
• Field multipliers for all research categories have been removed (this affects Research Point per day). Besides, all Research Points requirements to claim one Datacore have been increased from 50 to 100.
• Each datacore will now require 10,000 ISK to claim on top of the 100 Research Points
• Research Point amounts will not be adjusted in any shape or form with Inferno release.

Unified Inventory

• An Index tree has been added into the Inventory window showing all accessible inventories within stations while docked and within ships while in space. Full details are available in the Dev Blog, 'Unified Inventory'.
• Client inventory performance has been enhanced greatly making it possible to work with hundreds of items without serious framerate drop.
• New look and feel for inventory items.
• Cut and paste shortcuts implemented for inventory items.
• Assembled containers will now appear as part of the new index tree.
• A new capacity meter has been added to the inventory window which gives instant feedback on capacity changes before items are moved between locations.
• A new Smart filter system has been added to the Inventory window that allows players to filter items by various means and save the filters for later use.
• All inventory items now have estimated market price displayed for individual items through tooltip as well as showing combined market price on all selected items in the lower bar of the inventory.
• Market deliveries now appear as an independent entry in the index view of the Inventory, regardless of whether an office has been rented in the station.
• POS inventory locations are now automatically appended to the inventory tree index when the structures are within your current grid.

Starbases, Outposts and Stations

• Unanchoring an assembly array that has active jobs in its assembly lines now warns the player that the jobs will be aborted and materials lost.

Science and Industry

User Interface

• User created groups on the Neocom can now be renamed and given a two letter abbreviation so that it is easier to distinguish between custom groups.

• The image in the "Show Info" window can now be dragged and dropped in chat to create a link to the type or item that is being viewed in the info window. Character portraits can also be dragged to Contacts to add the character as a contact, and item images can be dragged into the market quickbar to add the type to the quickbar.
• The "Jump To" right-click menu has been changed so it behaves like the "Bridge To" menu. That is, if there are more than 20 alliance beacons they will be divided into submenus with 20 beacons each.

CONCORD and Kill Reports

• To avoid confusion, Capsules with a Global Criminal Countdown will no longer appear as a red target on your overview. This is reverting to pre-Escalation behaviour.

Miscellaneous

• Detail texture map missing from the Nomad has been restored.
• If a player logs back in whilst his ship is still in space at a 1-million-km emergency-warp point, their ship will now be vulnerable to warp disruption bubbles at this location as it attempts to e-warp back to its original position.

Patch notes for EVE Online Launcher 1.318
To be released on Friday, May 11, 2012.

• The launcher now first tries to download patches that exists and apply them instead of creating them and if that fails, then download the existing patch.
• The launcher will now check all files in the client and runs an update if any file is malformed, previously it was looking at the client build number in common.ini to determine if an update was required, meaning if common.ini was OK but other files not, then a client update was not started. This does not cover launchers that are set to not show up unless an update is required, they still using the old method of looking at the client build number in common.ini
• Fixed an issue where patches where not being resumed correctly if the launcher was closed in mid-download of the create patch step. Resulting in a broken patch.
• The play button was being enabled long before updates where finished, if pushed it would cancel the update and start the out of date client.

• When applying patches, if a patch failed on a single file, the Launcher would error immediately. It now it finishes patching what it can and then errors, leaving a less broken client.
• If patching fails, the .patch file is deleted so that the bad data that caused the issue isn't used again when the user tries to update again after the failed update.
• Launcher logs are now written to files with the naming convention launcher.[year].[month].[date].log instead of just launcher.log.

Patch notes for EVE Online: Escalation to Inferno
To be released on Tuesday, April 24, 2012.
Features

User Interface

• All electronic warfare effects that you are on the receiving end of are displayed in icon format above your ship UI. These icons display who is ewaring you, what ship they are in and what type of ewar it is. Right clicking these icons also provides you with a useful context menu.
• There is a new hairstyle available for female characters.
• Entries in most table like scrolls, such as wallet transaction history, can now be copied with CTRL+C. If entries are selected, only those will be copied, but if nothing is selected and the focus is on the scroll, all the entries are copied. Pasting into other programs such as spreadsheets will line the entries up into rows and columns properly.

• There is now a right click option on the group/category trace in market details which allows you to find that group in the browse tab.

• Setting a character to +10 standing will no longer give them automatic permission to legally take from your containers in space.
• Jettisoned containers and ship wrecks are now tagged with the owner, corp and fleet at the time of creation, rather than testing for loot-rights every time they are accessed. This will mean that if the container’s owner logs off, leaves fleet, jumps or docks, then the other pilots will not lose loot-rights access to his containers. This also means that the white/yellow/blue colouring of container icons more accurately reflects their true status.
• Characters in capsules will now show up as criminals on the overview just like when piloting any other ship.

Ships

• Titans can now lock a maximum of three targets.
• XL turrets have had their signature resolution set to 2000m.
• Capital Turrets that are fitted to titans now have a new damage-scaling attribute; targets with a signature radius smaller than this size will take reduced damage from these turrets. This does not apply to dreadnaughts.
• Siege modules have had their tracking penalty removed.

Incursions

• Vanguard and Assault Sites have been revamped with the following changes:
  
  • NPCs have been grouped into waves and groups have been randomized; this will prevent blitzing and increase the random element within the sites.
  • Spawn triggers moved from individual NPCs to the group as a whole.
  • Lowered the rewards from Vanguard sites by 10%.
  • For more information see this blog.

• NPC's will always aggress you when you warp into their aggression range.

Market & Contracts

• A lot of modules have been added to the market that previously could only be found in Contracts. Mostly these are officer, deadspace, faction and storyline modules. Note that this only means that players can now buy and sell them between themselves.
• Modules are sorted on the market by decreasing metalevel. So when you scroll down you should see increasingly more awesome modules.

Worldshaping

• The security status of systems in Etherium Reach, Malpais, Oasa, Outer Passage, Perrigen Falls, The Kalvela Expanse and the Spire has been adjusted upwards to bring them more into line with the rest of nullsec.

Patch notes for EVE Online Launcher 1.11
Released Friday, March 16, 2012, at 14:30 GMT.

Fixes

• Numerous fixes were made to the Launcher self-update mechanism.
• Fixed an error where the browser process spawned by clicking links in the Launcher inherited the file handles of the Launcher itself, causing permissions conflicts while patching.
• The Launcher now properly manages paths with a variety of unexpected characters so that it doesn&#39;t assume that a process is running from the folder under its purview.
• The Launcher needlessly held onto the handles of processes that it suspected were running from the directory under its purview. This has been corrected.
• Added logging of HTTP Headers such that we&#39;re better able to debug Firewall/Router/Antivirus interference.
• Forced the Launcher&#39;s embedded browser to log to the EVE/launcher folder, reducing interference with the patching process, and removing clutter.
• Changed the method by which we delete old files before they&#39;re successfully patched.
• Reduced the amount of time we wait for the Launcher to attempt to send logs to a hard limit of 3 seconds.
• We now request non-cached copies of all meta-data files from the web, which should reduce instances of the Repair Tool or Launcher erroneously patching to a previous version.
• The Launcher has been further hardened to closure during various stages of execution.
• Patch importing and exporting has been made more robust.

Science and Industry

• As the first step in a revamp of the Tech Two production chains, nine more Alchemy reactions have been added to the game. Alchemy allows capsuleers to bypass the use of certain rare minerals in the production of Tech Two components, through less efficient reactions that use more common minerals. Details on the Alchemy system can be found at this Dev Blog, and the new reactions are covered at this Dev Blog.

• The reactions have been adjusted since the publishing of the dev blog; the details of the new reactions are:
  
  • 100 Titanium + 100 Vanadium -> 1 Unrefined Vanadium Hafnite -> 20 Vanadium Hafnite + 90 Vanadium
  • 100 Cobalt + 100 Platinum -> 1 Unrefined Platinum Technite -> 20 Platinum Technite + 90 Platinum

Mining Barges and Exhumers are getting the "tiericide" treatment where roles within a ship class are favored over linear progression.
Warning: due to the reduction of traditional cargo bays in Mining Barges and Exhumers, if you are in space with an overloaded cargohold on release day, you will need to jettison some cargo in order to warp your ship. If you are overloaded with ore or ice, you can move it to the new ore hold instead.

Mining Barges and Exhumers are getting the "tiericide" treatment where roles within a ship class are favored over linear progression.
Warning: due to the reduction of traditional cargo bays in Mining Barges and Exhumers, if you are in space with an overloaded cargohold on release day, you will need to jettison some cargo in order to warp your ship. If you are overloaded with ore or ice, you can move it to the new ore hold instead.

Mining Barges and Exhumers are getting the "tiericide" treatment where roles within a ship class are favored over linear progression.
Warning: due to the reduction of traditional cargo bays in Mining Barges and Exhumers, if you are in space with an overloaded cargohold on release day, you will need to jettison some cargo in order to warp your ship. If you are overloaded with ore or ice, you can move it to the new ore hold instead.
