New lore articles on Fanfest items – news from EvE
Mar 23rd
In between presentations, roundtables, pub crawls and everything else that’s going on at the 2012 Fanfest, take a quick breather from all the action (and any possible hangover you may or may not be experiencing; we won’t judge) with a little reading material. As a complementary feature to the Fanfest in-game gifts – an Impetus t-shirt and a special edition Iteron – we’re publishing extended lore articles on each of those, available through the online Fiction Portal. Point your browsers here for the Impetus article, and here for the Iteron one.
Pandemic Legion Titan is Destroyed – news from EvE
Mar 20th
Amamake, Heimatar – A few nights ago, a mixed fleet of Faction Warfare capsuleers, mostly in dreadnaughts and battleships, ambushed and destroyed a Pandemic Legion titan in Amamake.
The planning itself was done in secrecy – only the planners themselves, Tekitha and Lock Out of Shadows of the Federaion and First General of Wolfsbrigade, along with a few trusted aides were informed of the plan, with the hope that it would help keep details of the attack from Pandemic Legion’s spy network.
Most of the members of the 85-man fleet did not know the full plan even as they set off for the selected locations and found ships waiting for them there. Before long they were rewarded with a sighting of a titan.
Cloaked ships suddenly lit off cynosaural beacons, a titan jump bridge was established and the fleet jumped in to attack the Erebus.
That part of the plan can be said to have gone off perfectly. Unfortunately a large contingent of the Pandemic Legion fleet was only one jump away, waiting for their scouts to report a target, and most of the combined Shadows of the Federation and Wolfsbrigade fleet was destroyed in short order.
When asked for comment on the destruction of their More >
CSM Candidate Interviews: Part III – news from EvE
Mar 20th
With just hours left in the CSM elections, this may be the last chance for voters to learn a little about the candidates.
Interstellar Correspondents asked candidates several questions in order to better understand who they are; where do they live? What do they do? What qualifications do they have? Some of the candidates are very serious while others take a lighter view of the universe we live in.
We have only included candidates that responded to our request. The field is much larger, and we encourage you to vote for a candidate that you trust. The full list of candidates and voting opportunities is in the link at the bottom of this article.
Sollana
Sollana operates in nullsec space around the Providence region. She focuses on industry and combat and claims that “defending Providence is a busy pastime.” She is currently a director in the executive corporation of CVA and “when needed acts on behalf of our CEO within our corp, and with others on the behalf of CVA and its allies.”
While Sollana believes that the CSM system is “not broken”, she thinks it is “in need of some TLC.” She claims that “capsuleers are a fickle bunch, CSM is here to get More >
CSM Candidate Interviews: Part II – news from EvE
Mar 20th
With just hours left in the CSM elections, this may be the last chance for voters to learn a little about the candidates.
Interstellar Correspondents asked candidates several questions in order to better understand who they are; where do they live? What do they do? What qualifications do they have? Some of the candidates are very serious while others take a lighter view of the universe we live in. Here are their stories:
Issler Dainze
Issler Dainze spends most of her life in lowsec and is “interested in seeing lowsec made relevant.” Her time is spent managing logistical chains for her industrial corp which produces T2 ships. As for her role in New Eden’s community, she claims to have driven the issue of “ambulation” and has served on the CSM twice.
When asked about issues regarding capsuleer governance, she believes that it is “all but guaranteed to be run by the powerblocks that do not represent the majority of New Eden.” As for the CSM’s purpose, she believes that the council does influence the future and the shape which New Eden will take.
Two Step
Two Step lives mostly in wormhole space. His primary activity is combat, however he also engages in “T2 and T3 production More >
CSM Candidate Interviews: Part I – news from EvE
Mar 20th
With the CSM elections coming soon, Interstellar Correspondents asked candidates several questions in order to better understand who they are; where they live? What they do? What qualifications they have?
Some of the candidates are very serious while others take a lighter view of the universe we live in. Here are the first of their stories:
Darius III
Darius III spends most of his time in low and null-sec engaging in combat. When asked about what leadership role he has taken in New Eden, he responds by saying he has “taken initiative in shutting down incursions” in order to bring to light their greater implications across New Eden. Not to mention his leadership when it comes to innovative new ways in “tear farming”.
He also believes that capusleer governance is “perfect”. Any system that allows “vote scamming represents [New Eden] to a ‘T’”. As a CSM he belives he has “personally influenced the lives of 1500 plus [capsuleers] by killing them, not including the 100 plus pods that were AFK in Jita”.
Greene Lee
Greene Lee spends most of her time in null-sec as a member of [AAA], but admits to “knowing high-sec life very well”. She engages in combat, diplomacy, alliance leadership and leading More >

EVE Launcher, corrupted downloads and repair tool update – news from EvE
Mar 14th
As of 01:40 GMT (14th March) we released a new Launcher (Version 1.09) and a new repair tool to resolve some issues that players have been experiencing during the initial deployment of Crucible 1.5.
Those of you experiencing issues with the Launcher or updating the game, please follow these steps:
1. Reboot the computer.2. Navigate to the EVE client install folder.3. Run the Repair tool until it finshes.4. Run eve.exe from the same folder
We ask people to reboot their computer to make sure that there are no locked files or other processes running while running the repair tool. This would otherwise interfere with the repair tool and prevent the client from updating.
If you have problems due to corrupted downloaded data, please consult this forum thread for a workaround.
To report any outstanding issues with Crucible 1.5.1, please visit this thread.
Workaround for players experiencing problems with the EVE Launcher – news from EvE
Mar 14th
Cyrillic characters in the EVE install path name cause the EVE Launcher to throw an error and not continue with patching the client. We are working hard on resolving this issue and will publish an update with instructions once it is out.
There is currently a workaround that people can use in the meantime:
A) Move the EVE client to a folder which does not contain any Cyrillic characters in the path name.
B) Start the repair tool and let it run, go into the client folders bin directory and start ExeFile.exe.
