CHANGES

FIXES

EXPLOIT FIXES

Changes?

Critical

The default  overview setting for war, militia, and global criminal targets has been  changed. War and militia targets will now blink when previously they did not. Global  criminal targets will no longer blink. A dev blog detailing this  change is coming soon.

Ships

The Naglfar has  been overhauled to bring it in line with other Dreadnaughts. The Naglfar will now  receive an additional mid slot along with a further 150 CPU. The powergrid has  been reduced to 560,000 (-65,000). A new damage bonus has been added which will  give the ship an additional 7.5% damage to projectile turrets per Minmatar  Dreadnaught skill level. The bonus to citadel torpedo damage has been removed;  however, the velocity of citadel torpedoes has been increased to 2,750 m/s  while the flight time has been decreased to 25 seconds.

The signature  radius of all stealth bombers has been reduced by a small amount.

The agility and the scan resolution of some ship classes has been adjusted to allow them to have a better chance of locking ships of their own size before they got to warp. Full details are available here.

When a Falcon cloaks and is jamming a  ship, the icon showing that ECM is in progress and the jamming effect will be  removed immediately. Additionally, CONCORD has declared all ?BECAUSE OF FALCON?  jokes pass?.

Modules

The CPU fitting  requirements for a bomb launcher has been reduced to 50 CPU. In addition, the  description for bomb launchers will state that it can be fitted on a stealth  bomber only. Attempting to fit the module on any other ship will fail. This  change will now allow the fitting preview window correctly when trying to fit a  stealth bomber.

The description  of ?Mission Rancorous Researcher (1/5) - Item 'Device'? has been reverted to  "This is a thing. It does stuff."?  All praise the power of the Device!

Racial engine  trails have been returned to Fighters.

If a ship cloaks, all active modules  that modify attributes, such as ECM, will stop immediately and the icons  showing the effect will disappear.

Weapons & Ammunition

The maximum  velocity for bombs has been increased but flight time has been decreased. This  change means that bombs will travel much more quickly. Maximum range remains  unchanged.

Cloaking a  Falcon while there is a jamming cycle in progress and the jammer has been  deactivated will now result in an immediate break of the jam cycle on the  targeted ship. To clarify: if you start a 20 second jamming cycle on a ship, then  deactivate the jamming module and cloak, the jam cycle on the target will  immediately cease.

The description  of ECM Burst modules now says "emits random electronic bursts which have a  chance of momentarily disrupting target locks on ships within range,"? while the Remote ECM Burst modules  description reads "emits an area-effect electronic burst, centered on the  designated target, which has a chance to momentarily disrupt target locks on  any ship within range."? This change  is to clarify exactly what each module does.

Skills

References to ?ice  harvesting? will be replaced with ?ice mining? in relevant skills.

Player Owned Structures, Outposts and Stations

Corporation  directors will no longer be spammed multiple times for the same starbase  event.? They will receive one mail only.

Character Creation and New Player Experience

Page five of  the ?Certificates? tutorial has been modified for clarity.

Page two of the  ?Attributes? tutorials has been modified for clarity.

Agents & Missions

The spawn rates  in the mission "Technological Secrets (1 of 3)" have been adjusted  and waves will now appear much more quickly.

The mission "No Excuse" will now clearly  advise players that there will be no faction penalty for shooting the Gallente  ships. The ships have been changed to generic models and will no longer drop  tags as a result. In addition, you now must destroy all the NPC's to complete  the mission.

Agents Inesmir  Jimud and Arechar Amranin of Sisters of EVE will now display an appropriate  greeting when meeting a player for the first time.

Market & Contracts

Scan probe launcher blueprints have been moved to  the market group under Blueprints > Turrets and Bays > Scan Probe Launchers.

EVE Voice, Mail & Chat

The "Delete"  option has now been added to the right-click context menu for corporation  mails.

Miscellaneous

An error  message has been added when trying to auto-patch using a non-working proxy in  Internet Explorer.? This error explains  network-related issues.

Fixes?

Critical

Socket closed error messages will no longer cause  problems on Tranquility following network changes. Following further network testing we have discovered that the issue of socket closed error messages has not been completely eliminated but has been significantly mitigated. Work will continue to eradicate this problem in the future.

Changes have  been made to the autopatcher which will result in a much smoother patching  process. Returning players who are attempting to upgrade to Apocrypha from the  old classic client will now be asked to do a fresh install to reduce the  likelihood of verification errors. The new message will read "there is a  new build available. An incremental update for your current build could not be  found. Would you like to download a full installer now??

Synchronization errors caused by jumping through  stargates, changing ships or docking and undocking have now been fixed and are  working as intended.

Need for Speed

Changes to  shader textures and modelling will no longer put excessive stress on older  graphics cards. This means they will no longer overheat while players are  docked in a station.

Database optimizations  for the generation of storyline missions have been tweaked, resulting in a  lesser load on the server.

Ships

The description of all stealth bombers has been  updated to reflect that it can equip a Covert Ops Cloaking Device.

The description of the Rook has been fixed to read  "10% Bonus to Heavy Assault & Heavy Missile velocity per level."

The description of the Retriever has been changed  to say that it has a "Godly" drone bay rather than a  "Goodly" drone bay.

Launching ships which has negative hit points into  space will no longer cause exceptions.

If a player attempts to install a jump clone into a  clone vat-capable capital ship and does not have the required amount of money  in his wallet a pop up warning message will appear.? The player who pilots the ship with the clone  vat will now have the timer closed immediately rather than return an  error.??

Tech 3

The 4th  propulsion subsystem for Tech 3 ships, Interdiction Nullifiers, now utilizes  the correct agility bonus per skill level.

The correct  missile rate of fire bonus will now be applied to the Tengu subsystem  "Covert Reconfiguration." The description has been changed to  "5% bonus to missile launcher rate of fire per level" instead of the  misleading bonus to hybrid turrets.

The description  of the "Loki Offensive - Turret Concurrence Registry? has been clarified  to show that there is no rate of fire bonus. This subsystem has bonuses to  damage, optimal range and tracking only.

The bonus for the "Proteus Defensive -  Adaptive Augmenter" will now correctly state that it is ?10% bonus to  armor hit points per level.?

All Tech 3  subsystems will now display their meta group as ?Tech III.?

Modules

The 1200mm  Heavy Prototype I Artillery has been removed from the ?Show Variations? tab as  this gun model was never published. The 1200mm Heavy Prototype I Siege Cannon  has exactly the same stats and will remain.

All Gas Cloud  Harvesting modules have had their descriptions updated.

The ECM Burst  effect has been fixed and is now weaker.

Electronic  Warfare drones now have visible engine trails.

The first  sentence in the description of ECM Bursts has been adjusted to "emits random  electronic bursts which have a chance of momentarily disrupting target locks on  ships within range." The description for Remote ECM Bursts has been  changed to "emits an area-effect electronic burst, centered on the  designated target, which has a chance to momentarily disrupt target locks on  any ship within range."

Attacking a  cynosural field will no longer cause an exception as they now cannot be  targeted.

Activating a Strip  Miner II module and then using "look at" on an asteroid no longer returns  a mass of errors.

Weapons & Ammunition

Grouped laser turrets will now allow a single crystal to be changed out once it has become completely damaged. For example, if you have aa Apocalypse with grouped pulse lasers using Tech II Scorch crystals, with varying degrees of damage you can reload used crystals without breaking the weapon group

Javelin rockets  will now hit at their maximum range as intended.

The guidance  systems for Rage torpedoes have been fixed, allowing them to impact targets at  very close range.

The last shot fired from a volley of guns  (projectiles or hybrids) before the clip runs out will now hit targets as  intended. Previously the last round had a higher chance of missing due to  calculations showing the guns at zero ammunition.

The flight range of Javelin Rockets has been  increased.

An empty module will no longer attempt to reload  after overload has been turned off.

Rage torpedoes will now hit close range targets.
