The EVE Universe Fiction Portal Official Thread

EVE Universe is so great. Thanks, CCP.
I have a suggestion for the Lore section.
I think it would be useful to have a filter function by alphabet.
If possible, could you post a list of newly added articles?

the expansion trailer videos have never been useful from a lore standpoint, unless youā€™re probably Ashterothi.
the triglavian invasion stuff is fun to watch but honestly tells you nothing of the different factions.

Some form of museum would be great. Iā€™ve already offered a couple of times to donate the first pirate fax built in EVE as a museum ship if CCP can figure out a way to do it.

Since Iā€™m not sure where else to report these - updating the lore faq post, I noticed the chronicle, Khadrea, is missing from the new site.

Also, Stairway To Heaven apparently isnā€™t indexed in the search engine, though it does exist in the new site. Didnā€™t come up when I searched for it though. Nvm, guess it was a temporary hiccup.

The search feature is very useful, and Iā€™m glad all the lore, backstories and other articles are being collected in one place. Well done. :slight_smile:

@CCP_Fleebix Are there any plans to include handy timelines? (like the old ones, for example Timeline - EVE Community) I searched, but could not find any on the new site yet.

The lore is better than the game, at least itā€™s not boring and prohibitive.

I think in only that regard it matches the game pretty closely.

Thanks for the heads up, we have Khadrea on a list of Chronicles that need looking into.

EVE Universe is very much a thing weā€™re still working on so feel free to add suggestions and tips to this thread. The Universe team (and me) are monitoring this thread <3

Chiming back in, that this new site has been immensely useful to me lately. If Iā€™ve had a lore question in my mind, nearly always I have managed to answer without having to resort to google.

I havenā€™t checked this out much yet, but Iā€™ve heard a lot of good things from those whose opinion I value in these matters, so thank you and good job, CCP! :thumbsupparrot:

I was able to remove some no longer needed bookmarks, so thatā€™s something. Maybe add a link to the Fiction Portal Forum section?

@CCP_Fleebix, I noticed the Universe version of the short story ā€œRay of Matarā€ is missing most of its artwork. Is this intentional due to copyright reasons or something else? It had one of the very few official examples for what most players have assumed to be Voluval markings, so itā€™s a shame if theyā€™re gone forever. Though they can be still thankfully found with the Wayback Machine, but obviously youā€™d need to know that they even existed in the first place to check.

@Teinyhr , CCP Fleebix left CCP a while back uhā€¦ hmā€¦ @CCP_Delegate_Zero @CCP_Swift may be the better pings at the moment

Oh, right. Thanks for the quick course correction.

I donā€™t have an answer for you, but Iā€™ll pass this along to the team responsible and report back as soon as I hear anything.
