[EVE] Quantum Rise & Beyond

[Ten19]

Just a heads up, EVE is in the middle of transitioning to its latest expansion, Quantum Rise. Server's should be coming up later today/tonight.

Patch Notes: http://www.eve-online.com/news/Patch%20Notes%20for%20Quantum%20Rise.pdf

Notable features include corporation medals, skill certificates, weapons grouping, additional UI flexibility and broad changes to all ships and equipment to normalize speed in-game.

Also, once the servers come back up, Colonial Enterprises, Inc. [COG.] will be accepting applications from any members of the CoG community. (thread (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/showthread.php?t=1885))

Also! Details are coming out of FanFest 2008 as to the scope of the next expansion in March 2009, and it sounds like a huge one. Tech 3 ships are being introduced alongside a ton of other features including wormhole exploration. They've also signed a publishing deal with Atari to get boxes of EVE back in brick-and-mortar buildings for the first time since 2003.

Initial details on "EVE's biggest expansion" are available from the Eurogamer article here (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=287282).

I'm downloading the 21-day trial for this game, we'll see how it goes.

Was Quantum rise the one that helped streamline the industry portion of the game? I'm really interested in doing more of stuff lalong those lines since mining and fighting is rather boring.

It was supposed to have a big impact on the industry, but in the end it only ended up being a new sub-capital mining ship. From the sound of the next big expansion with Tech 3 being introduced, Industry stuff will be ramping up heavily.

I'm playing off and on between WoW sessions.
I'm mostly just logging on and changing my skills training at the moment though.
Everyone says to train up Learning, so I'm doing that, but it's slow as hell, since my guys only decent stats are Perception and Willpower.
