Eve Online Guide

There are a few new features in Eve Online now to prevent lag in some of the most populated star systems. One of these will have a direct impact on your life if you are living in one of those systems. This is that star gates now will check how many players are in the system you are trying to jump to, and prevent you from jumping if there is too many. We haven’t found any information about any queuesystem to prevent others from taking your place when someone jump out. Also, there is no information about how many players the systems accept.

The second feature is that more agents are being relocated out of Jita. You probably know that Jita is the biggest hub of Eve Online, and to prevent people from staying in Jita to do missions, these agents are now moving out.

The first major patch for the Eve Online expansion Empyrean Age was launched today. We will look on some of the features you should be aware of.

CONCORD Upgrade
The CONCORD changes we have review earlier is now live, and life for high-security PvPers will be harder. Response times for attacking other players in high security without a reason like war, is lowered. And no, phat loot is not listed as a good reason to attack someone. Neither is faction ships.

Standing changes
The general rule is that the higher the security status of the system you shoot at someone, destroy a ship or pod kill someone, the higher security hit you will get. It is also said that the standing loss is related to both the standing of the victim and the aggressor. This means killing peaceful players will give you a bigger standing loss than a part-time pirate. Exact figures are not given.

Misc changes

• Another 170 new missions is added, including Agent Level 1, factions and other ranges.
• Factional Warfare missions have had their toughness lowered, so if you’ve had problems with these, it might be worth another try
