EVE Online: NeoCom Improvements
Dec 17th
CCP Optimal has posted a new dev blog on the official EVE Online site that gives readers a blast from the past and a look to the future with specific regard to the NeoCom. The team, he says, wants to make NeoCom customizable and utilitarian for players. Devs seem to have come up with an elegant solution.
Customizability
The customization of the old NeoCom was very limited to say the least, but no more. You‘ll now be able to decide exactly what buttons are displayed in the NeoCom and reorganizing the buttons is as easy as dragging them around. Removing a button from the NeoCom is a right-click affair and re-claiming that same button is as easy as dragging it from the EVE menu into the NeoCom bar. It is even possible to create groups into which buttons, and other groups, can be dragged.

IT Alliance Saves Unfinished Titan in C3N-3S – news from EvE
Dec 12th
C3N-3S, On 12.12.112 over 1,500 pilots engaged in battle over a starbase that had become a regional target of opportunity. The starbase is the home of a titan construction project run by IT Alliance.
Titan construction takes months and requires a starbase to carry out the assembly operations. The starbase in C3N-3S is currently building a titan for Lady Scarlet and was put into reinforced mode earlier this week.
IT Alliance recalled much of their capital fleet from Catch to defend the starbase.
The battle involved more than 1,500 capsuleer; 600 of them IT Alliance. The opposition force of about 900 pilots was an “opportunity alliance” including the Deklein Coalition, Red Overlord and Against All Authorities.
IT Alliance fielded about 90 logistics carrier along with 10 titans and 30 motherships.
Due to the cynosural jamming in effect in C3N-3S, the opposition fleet chose to bring a fleet of Maelstroms and Drakes.
As the Maelstrom fleet focused on the tower trying to out damage the IT Alliance carriers repairing it, the IT capital fleet slowly knocked them down.
When the battle finally ended, the starbase was still standing and it appears the unfinished titan is safe.

Sansha Uplinks Completed in Anyed – news from EvE
Dec 12th
Anyed, Genesis – Late last week, over 600 capsuleers from across New Eden gathered in Anyed to repel a Sansha incursion but contrary to earlier reports of a total victory for capsuleer defenders of the system, Nation completed its own objectives, with Sansha commanders in the system uplinking unknown data to an unknown source.
DutchGunner, a member of Onorata Societa who was in the system during the attempted attack, said “The forces have all been destroyed, including the capital assets that have been deployed by Sansha forces.”
The Sansha have shown in previous attacks, however, that their own lives are little valued compared to campaign objectives, as illustrated by their common practice of leaving one leader behind in a capital ship to safeguard a withdrawal. It has also been shown that their cloning methods, or equivalent thereof, are rapid, mobile and highly accurate, enabling a True Slave or True Citizen to return fully oriented to the battlefield within minutes of their first demise if a vessel can be procured. Many Nation pilots and troopers have been quoted as saying, “There is no death in Nation.”

Amarr Loyalists Push into Minmatar Territory in Metropolis – news from EvE
Dec 11th
Floseswin, Metropolis - Recent events have seen Amarr Empire corporations, including long-time loyalists 1st Praetorian Guard [1PG] push forward to “reclaim” systems in the Minmatar Republic for the Empire.
Borakh Tieberius of 1PG said that by following “the vision” of Legatus Gangleri, his corporation has focused mainly on the Aset cluster in Metropolis which has seen them capture systems such as Floseswin, Turnur and Isbrabata.
“The vision is about vigilance, dedication, cooperation, and of course, faith.” It does not include the idea of unity with the full forces of the 24th Imperial Crusade, however, following controversy over the last year about the involvement of pirate forces in the militia and the past habit of many militia corporations of raiding into space controlled by CVA, one of the older groups to profess loyalty to the Amarr Empire. Borakh contnued by saying “Allies is dangerous word” and stating that instead, 1PG work closely with Knighthood of the Merciful Crown and Amarrian Retribution.
Others who fight for the Amarr Empire appear to care little for faith and reclamation, however. Racnotonas, of The Imperial Fedaykin, claims that they fight the Minmatar for “the sake of fighting”, claiming it is out of “boredom.”
