It seems a few new reactions were seeded that were not aviable yesterday.
The BPO’s however dont seem to be present.

@Scorching_Bagel_Twice

I’d have to agree with that pop-up.
As a previous newbie, every button in eve is hidden, and new players deserve to know where every ‘certain this or that’ is.

Yes, so why are such things on for 5, 10, 15 year old players?

CCP needs to code these things that are for helping newbies to be easily disabled and easily toggled off/back on if/when needed. It took how many months to add a toggle for the red dot in out Escape menu options?

@Zhalyd_Lyehin

But not old people. This is exactly the same crap that made the red dot such a pain point. It may be meant for new players to figure things out but it’s also pushed onto people who have already figured that stuff out and now they have to deal with more unnecessary visual clutter. You would think that CCP had learned from the disaster surrounding the red dot, but clearly this is not the case. It will most apparently never be the case.

Ayup. That’s about the long and short of it.

@Gerard_Amatin

Nice pointer!

Can we remove the redundant red marker now?

It’s been finally toggle-able for a month or two now. Escape → General → can’t remember the wording, but it’s down in the lower left area. ywia.

@Vollhov_Jr

I have two questions.
First question.
When will the small asteroids be returned to Missions and Complexes ?

Second question.
When will there be new lvl 4 missions? Have you completely forgotten about inh? When will COSMOS missions be improved and added? When will the new storyline missions be added?

1. probably never

2. hopefully soon™

@CCP_Explorer
Please change the item size of the new capital parts from 100 sqm to at least 10,000 sqm. The specification of 100 square meters does not at all match the quantities of minerals and other items required.

@mysexysales

Seriously, who is your QA? they need to be fired.

their QA is Excelsior.

@CCP_Fleebix

We do have a very extensive QA team

[Gi_Scar]

Bug or no?
My question is for Enhanced Neurolink Protection Cell Blueprint.
Nyx and Ragnarok is cheeper to resurch and copy.

ME 10 - 31b
TE 10 - 27b
Copy 1/40 - 1.2b

I copy Capital Jump Bridge Array Blueprint and the cost for 10/40 is 4 000 000.
The price for Enhanced Neurolink Protection Cell Blueprint 10/40 is 11 564 000 000

Is the same 3b capital part BPO.

Is 2 891 times more expensive then the rest of the Capital parts BPO’s

[batterfly_Rin]

Yea I found this issue in sisi, never thought it will be a feature/ bug in tq now dammyou ccp

[kLey_I]

I just lost ~600mill ISK because of that issue…
Usually I don’t look on what ME or TE research costs, because it’s reasonable… but not this time

Can I get a refund for that Mr CCP ?

[Uriel_the_Flame]

@kLey_I

Can I get a refund for that Mr CCP ?

Maybe try asking in a support ticket?

[kLey_I]

Yea. Will do that.
I’ll let you guys know if it’s a bug or a feature as soon as i have more information

[Imdyna_Narestar]

Seems like the removal of asteroid belts and thus removal of NPCs also removed the overall spawn.

Since the update i have not seen a single NPC in ore anno nor on moon grid.
Do not think that this is intended, is it?

[May_Q_Cry]

Of course it is intended.

You just have to realize that CCP wants things to be as difficult and inconvenient for you as possible.

[IlIIIIllllIIIII]

Are you adding something instead of the npc belts you removed from the game? I just cannot wrap my head around why CCP would remove 14500 astroid belts from the game. Can we have some sort of statement about the issue. Was this intended? What is the plan going forward?

[Last_Ninja]

No null sec belts = no adm’s =poor space no upgrades = move to empire

[Dave_Brand]

‘Null’ in Nullsec gets a new meaning it seems. like Null Content.

[Ploing]

@IlIIIIllllIIIII

What is the plan

rantanplan wont tell you.

[Vitalik_ROAR]

Could u answer to me?
When can I catch the officer again on belt in the region Curse?

[May_Q_Cry]

@IlIIIIllllIIIII

I just cannot wrap my head around why CCP would remove 14500 astroid belts from the game.

You just have to realize that causing you to suffer by making things more difficult for you is their entire point.

[CCP_Swift]

I’ll gladly provide a little bit of background and update:

The recent patch deployed on Tuesday 13 April included the following change:

• Removed empty Asteroid Belts that have no asteroids left available.

As part of the greater EVE Ecosystem updates dating back to last year, a number of systems in null-sec contained Asteroid Belts that were completely depleted and barren of resources. These Asteroid Belt beacons were the source of some confusion as players would warp to these locations in hopes of finding asteroids. This patch removed the beacons for those already-barren Asteroid Belts to alleviate some of that confusion. However, this clean-up adversely affected several null-sec regions of space - in some cases leaving them without any venue for Asteroid NPC pirates.

While we are aware of the playstyle surrounding these pirate NPCs, namely Officer and Commander hunting & ADM building, we didn’t fully take into account how some areas of space would be disproportionally affected. We are currently working on having these pirate gangs return to the space they love without relying on asteroid field beacons. Following this, we’ll also be closely monitoring both the spawn rates and drop rates for Officers and Commanders in nullsec and act swiftly where needed to ensure that those playstyles aren’t reduced.

We want to thank both the CSM and the community for their feedback on this important issue and we will be consulting with the CSM as we undertake the upcoming fix. Likewise, we very much appreciate your patience and understanding.

[Wadiest_Yong]

Might I suggest to CCP that they now spawn static belts of the same type as in the western half of the map (those that were unaffected by that change) in the many regions that now have zero static belts ?
