Today we are excited to begin gathering feedback on a change we have planned for release in one of our upcoming Q2 2018 releases. This change specifically impacts factional warfare and the restrictions around entering FW capture complexes. Warp Core Stabilizers are an extremely powerful tool for evasion, which can sometimes have a place in a game like EVE. However since the proper functioning of the Factional Warfare capture system requires pilots to trade … You posted it on April fools day, is it real or a joke? ---

It’s real and a good change coming. I’m more interested in Eric though. ---

Yes, Eric sounds like a good idea. Similar to what Valve did recently with the new Dota2 Plus Subscription service. ---

CCP always released real news along side fake news on April 1st. This is real, and a good change from the sounds of all the complaints I hear from people who are active in FW. Not actually doing anything in FW myself I can’t say if it’s enough, not enough, unrelated to the problem or anything else. But at face value, it seems to address most of the complaints we regularly see outside of botting itself. EDIT - Unless of course you thought the cat ears and ERIC were the serious patch notes lol ---

But at face value, it seems to address most of the complaints we regularly see outside of botting itself. I think the impact will be relatively small. It won’t stop farmers by any means. What it will mean is they’ll warp out earlier, as soon as you are warping in on grid. At the moment, a lot of farmers wait until they are pointed/scrammed before they warp. It’s deliberate, in order to cause the sec status loss (to neutrals), then they warp off. They won’t be able to do that anymore, but otherwise I don’t think it will really have much impact, as people looking to fight are never WCS fit to begin with. ---
