I came across the following interesting article from TechRadar today. I’m not a developer, but I do understand what’s being set out here. I confess, I didn’t realise that what I might regard as a simple enough request to CCP (‘the code already exists, doesn’t it?’) is, in fact, likely to involve some quite complex - and little appreciated - investment of time and resources.

There’s no need to make a thread about this (please comment if you wish, though); I just wanted other interested folks to give it a look. Here’s the link:

My thanks to those talented souls beavering away in Reykjavik (or wherever) so that I can log in, undock and have fun!

It’s called Spaghetti Code, and EVE couldn’t function without it. It’s also why they can’t get rid of POS towers, or add walking in stations.

Thanks, QG. I always kind of knew this (it’s become lore!), but until I read that article I had no idea of how the various parts of a team related to one another, and the stresses involved in bringing a relatively minor change in a project to its intended user base.
