EVE Online: Crucible 1.1 is scheduled for deployment during an extended downtime on Tuesday, January 24. Downtime will begin at 11:00 UTC and is expected to be completed by 12:00 UTC.
Crucible 1.1 brings a number of improvements into EVE Online, including the new Neocom panel, rebalanced assault ships, ability for alliances to join Factional Warfare and numerous UI enhancements. For more information on these changes, please refer to CCP Soundwave’s recent dev blog or visit the Crucible feature page. Patch notes are available in English, German and Russian.
Please note that in December we have temporarily doubled the size of POS fuel bays to reduce the impact of the delay to fuel block switch-over. In Crucible 1.1, these changes will be reverted and the fuel block consumption enabled. Towers left with their fuel bays in an “overloaded” state as a result of this change should continue to function as normal.
A discussion thread is available here.

We have been experiencing issues with PLEX not redeeming correctly for some players. After an investigaion, this issue can only be rectified by doing a complete reboot of Tranquility.

High-Sec Incursions Too Rewarding – news from EvE
Jan 16th
New Eden – A group of capsuleers, led by Krissada, are attempting to disrupt the “ISK farming” currently occurring at Sansha Incursion sites. They are planning to destroy Sansha motherships as soon as they arrive through their wormholes and in doing so hope to cut back the amount of ISK earned by capsuleers who attend the incursions simply to collect bounties on the lesser Sansha forces in the area.
Krissada is apparently aggrieved that “bears” are able to “farm” for ISK in high-sec Incursions with little risk as long as they do not destroy the Sansha mothership. This, to her, is a blatant misuse of CONCORD’s reward system and she is focused on stopping what she believes is an “ISK faucet”. Disgruntled with how Incursions are fought she revealed her belief that “Sansha forces appear to be infinite, as is the depth of CONCORD’s wallet”.
Krissada’s plan is to destroy the Sansha motherships as soon as possible which will hopefully cause the immediate withdrawal of Sansha forces and prevent further bounties being collected by “Incursion Bears”. She hopes to force those wanting to make ISK from Incursions into low-sec and thus ensuring when Sansha forces arrive in high-sec they are dealt with quickly More >
