Thank you for contacting the EVE Online Player Experience Team.
I am happy to inform you that the majority of chat issues have been resolved on 2020.11.29 In the meantime please relog if you’re still experiencing issues.
Players who lost ships due to bad local intel caused by the chat outage can visit http://support.eveonline.com and file a ticket under the category Game Play Support -> Reimbursements -> Lost Ships and our GMs will look into it on a case-by-case basis. This is not a guarantee of replacement but rather that investigations will be made. You can find more information here: [COMPLETED] 20201128 - In-Game Chat Issues
Please do not hesitate to come back to me if you have any other issues in the future.
notice the clever use of the word majority. so as long as it only affects you, its okay, its working for others. relogged, still see different numbers in local on all 5 of my accounts relogging does NOT fix this
