*Some skill books.
Iâve had a response to my ticket from CCP Support - they are trying / suggesting various options to get me flying again.
Unfortunately still stuck in the hangar 
Oh the joy of Project Discovery ! ! ! - at least I can do my bit to help save mankind from the virus.

Is that a bug or on purpose?
Itâs a bug
ever since the 18.05 update - when I undock the frame rate drops to less than ONE fps - so I canât realistically fly anywhere ! !! - fine in the hangar.
Just doing some PD to earn some isk and keep checking dailywhether there is an update that fixes the prob - I canât afford to update my laptop (which worked fine previous to the update) - due to RL finances - so stuck at the moment.
If I was in one of the trading hubs it wouldnât be so bad - I could play the trade markets - but Iâm stuck in some small regional place

Interesting. What skill book canât I buy?
only skill books available for sale in the region can be bought on âBuy Nowâ
Be careful and check the market before you hit the âBuy Nowâ button - you can end up paying way over the odds for skill books - they may be cheaper in the next region - or different area - Calfari, Ammar sectors for some skills for example - there is some profiteering out there - if a skill costing 150k isk isnât sold by the NPC stations in a region - someone can put that skill up for sale for say 1mil isk - if you press buy now - you are paying way too much ! !
ALSO - you might buy the skill and it buys one from a different station to the one you are in - so you need to travel to pick it up.
hope this helps
Skill books can be bought outside market.
They can be âzappedâ to you clone.
Open character check a skills and look for blue plus symbol. and ad and buy skills this way.
so I think we are talking about different ways to get skills.
Thanks for the info Ryan BT -
always something new to learn in this game.
How are you launching the launcher?
Iâve seen times when people are simply running the downloaded launcher file. You should install it by dragging it onto the âapplicationsâ folder:
Once this is done, you then run the installed version, and not the downloaded file.
Sorry if this sounds obvious, but itâs a very common cause of the launcher not updating and causes all sorts of issues.
We believe we have a fix for the audio issues. Itâs currently being tested internally and if all goes to plan, it should be in the next release.

Could you check in the launcher and make sure DX9 mode is enabled. I know this has solved the issue for some Mac users previously.
That you canât buy all skill books in the character sheet? Itâs on purpose.
CCP provided the ability to buy most of the âregular olâ skillsâ (aka the ones available at most NPC university stations in HS/LS) from wherever you are in game at a higher ISK amount⌠but they left out all the skillbooks that you must acquire from a different source, because those skillbooks werenât purchaseable from NPC sell orders at those aforementioned stations.
Those include things like the Gas Harvesting skillbook, the drug-side-effect skills, maybe the nanite paste repair skills, too?
And I would imagine that also includes Trig ship/weapon skills and now EDENCOM ship/weapon skills since there is an established source for all of those that isnât NPC stations.
You can ofc buy any of these skills (from players) at trade hubs or random citadels/stations occasionally.
Looks like you guys got it working! Thanks CCP
It just make the game more realistic in the vacuum you cannot hear turret sounds inâit
Those should be appearing in the invasion sites, and in some demand by people working those sites â so probably just fewer available from player sellers.
Be wary of early prices when they appear; the normal progress is that they start out high (priced) and come down a lot as the books exceed the demand of players working invasion sites.
I recall seeing that message before the current launcher style;
Are you using the current launcher to run client?
(i.e., NOT launching the client yourself directly?)
Still canât leave the station at more than one frame per second on my Mac.
I thought Iâd test if the hardware is too low grade - or I had some conflicting extensions or apps.
macbook 2011
16gb ram
1tb HD
512mb Intel 3000 Graphics
Formatted the disc completely
Installed Clean OSX (10.13.6)
Installed EVE
Still the same problem - game wonât run properly when undocked.
So . . . .
Added a Bootcamp Partition
Installed WIN7
Installed EVE
Booted up EVE
It works fine - plenty of FPS - need to lower the graphics a bit
SO
Hardware checks out okay - it has enough poke to run the game - not like a gaming god - but good enough for me.
MAC Launcher - no good with the same hardware running 10.3 (High Sierra)
I can now play - but would rather be in Mac mode so I donât have to switch / reboot when I want to do anything else.
are you running Catalina ? or has CCP updated for Catalina . Im still running Mojave until Eve updates . seems to run fine, had the weapon turret sound issue, but that seems fixed.
Are you able to update to Mojave (10.14)? It seems to be the Mac OS version they are building toward on their 32-bit client. Catalina (10.15) and the 64-bit client are pretty wonky from what I have read, so I havenât updated beyond Mojave (plus I would lose a good chunk of my Steam library if I went 64-bit on MacOS, and I donât have enough onboard harddrive space to use Bootcamp for Windows).
Unfortunately my MacBook wonât ânativelyâ run OSX above 10.13
Apparently there is a way of hacking it to run Mojave - I might try when I get some free time.
If that doesnât work - Iâll stick to switching between OSX and WIN 7 until whilst saving for a new computer !!
Thatâs one of the reasons Iâve stuck with this MacBook for so long - cheap as chips to throw in a 1TB drive - Iâm finding the new MacBook pros (and many widows laptops Iâve looked at) more unattractive as the HD & RAM are soldered in - so to get a similar spec new model would set me back GBP2000 - canât buy a lower spec model and then upgrade later - checking the second hand market
