EVE Online—The Sound Update

Riding high on the celebration of Eve’s 15th anniversary, CCP Games’ commitment to “the second decade” is bringing forth sweeping changes to the game we know and love. Long-time fans of the game have praised it for numerous reasons, however one negative that is constantly brought up is the lack of sound in EVE. All of this will soon change with the upcoming “Paracusia” update.

Unsurprisingly, one of the first things you may hear with this new update is Aura, the ever-helpful, annoyingly-persistent AI of your ship. CCP went with an interesting, albeit fitting actress for such a role: They employed Kaori Mizuhashi (the voice actress of Navi in the Nintendo classic Ocarina of Time). Reprising her role as a high-pitched assistant character, she really nails the part.

Just in time for upcoming CSM elections, advertisements on the large electronic billboards in stations and in space will now be fully voiced by their respective candidates. Confirmed participants in this program so far include Dunk Dinkle, Brisc Rubal, and Jin’Taan, in no particular order. CCP has confirmed the ability to deactivate these advertisements will be purchasable in the New Eden Store.

EVE, for the last 15 years, has committed itself to realism, depicting the vacuum of space as it is: noiseless and cold. Now with the new update, every weapon and module will have its own dedicated group of sounds with which to use while being activated/fired. CCP will also make sure that Wormhole space will have its own suite of sounds and music that is “better in every way possible” to Null-security.

CCP Games is also making a monumental effort to cooperate with various player based entities, such as the Imperium. This will allow for specific actions in-game to have music dynamically play when such events occur. For example, when a large number of Imperium ships enter a system, “Flight of the Bumblebee” will begin to play, for reasons as of yet unknown.

Speaking of dynamic soundtracks, various superstar musicians will be contributing their monumental talent towards the Eve Online soundtrack. the artists involved include Smashmouth, Rick Astley, and the Molvanian pop sensation Zladko “ZLAD!” Vladcik. Rumored guest appearance from an “Uncle Suas” is yet to be confirmed.

Paracusia, coming to a set of stereo speakers near you, Q3 of 2018!

A Fathers Hope: Birth of a Capsuleer

By

While D’nara Atreides was roaming the streets of the Amarr capital, she came upon a crumpled note that piqued her interest. It read:

“In the beginning, all things were as one.

God parted them and breathed life into his creation

Divided the parts and gave each its place

And unto each, bestowed purpose”

-“The Scriptures, Book I 1:4”

Son, I once took these words to heart. With all of my soul, I believed that our divine empire led by its great Emperors and Empresses would fulfill that purpose. To take over those lesser races and dominate the galaxy bringing our enlightenment to all creation. But those were different times. And now I find my faith wavering. What purpose did the Drifters serve? To smite the faithful? To kill our Empress? To turn the galaxy which was destined for our glory into ash? If our purpose was ever to destroy those who oppose the divinity of our God, then certainly his will would be on our side against foes such as these…

I have to ask, where was His will when the Drifters invaded New Eden laying siege to systems from the Outer Ring all the way to our home in Domain? Was it God’s plan for our Empress Jamyl to be mercilessly slaughtered by these heretics? I was there when those brave Capsuleers—who so many look down upon in disdain—took up the mantle to defend civilization, while the great empires sat paralyzed. Powerful as the menace was it was the capsuleers, not the Empire who found the way to defeat the incursions into our home. The capsuleers devised a dangerous and risky plan to trick the Drifters into engaging them with a weak force. After they widdled away enough of the Drifter overshields, the capsuleers jumped in larger ships and sent the Drifter scum back into the abyss. I remember the day when your uncle came to me telling me he volunteered to fight beside the capsuleers. After hearing the plan, I too decided to join the cause as a medic on a Guardian in one of the fleets. I was there when thousands died sacrificing themselves in Coercers and Thrashers in order to drive off the Drifter hordes. I remember the horror of the medical bay that day; the sound of people crying out in anguish and pain; the sight of men and women who had just lost arms, legs, flesh burned from their skin. The scent of death; that bitter aroma still hangs in my nostrils and haunts me in my sleep. I also remember the day I received your uncle’s body with condolences from the Sub-Zero Fleet Command… Where was God’s divine will then?

Now I hear that a ship has appeared in Yulai. Piloted by CONCORD sure, but rumor has it that whoever built these ships may be responsible for the damaged and derelict Drifter ships being found around the galaxy. This mysterious species may even have the Drifters on the run. If I had to guess, I would say they will run here. We will be prepared and waiting for them this time, but what if their foes follow? Millions died only to stall the Drifter menace. I fear that was only the beginning. If these Triglavians or whatever they choose to call themselves are powerful enough to defeat the Drifters with such ease then I fear we stand little chance against such power. A powerful force like that could either be our savior or the harbinger of our doom.

We stand here at the edge of unknown darkness, and I will no longer trust the scripture to protect us. I no longer believe it is the Amarr who have been chosen by God. If the Drifters or whatever else lies beyond come in force, it won’t be the Amarr that save New Eden nor their God. When they come it will be the capsuleer who defends the breadth of humanity. Dark days lie ahead, my son, and I fear for your future. It is for this reason I have chosen to disregard our faith. I am sorry, I must do this. Just remember, I do it for you, your mother, and your sister. Tomorrow, I will have my consciousness transferred and my body cloned. For this action, I will be looked upon as a heretic and un-pure. I know your grandfather will use whatever means necessary to attempt to change my mind, and for that reason I have to leave for a long time. Know that I love you, and I hope I can have some part in securing your future. I know this will be hard for all three of you, but I hope you understand that we can no longer wish for hope. We must be that hope. We can no longer rely on God’s will or our Emperor for strength and safety. We must find it within ourselves. Take care of your mother and sister.

Love,

Your Father

D’nara looked up at the large house the letter probably came from, and saw it was abandoned. The fate of the family mentioned in the note is anyone’s guess.

 

Into the Abyss Prepping EVE for a Total Conversion to Dungeons & Dragons

By

The upcoming “Into the Abyss” expansion, slated for release May 29, is bringing a tremendous amount of changes to New Eden. New ships, new modules, even a new weapons platform and module augmentation system. Those on the testing server have noted other, stranger things hidden within the codes. For one, the ammunition type for the Triglavian weapons is odd, being labeled as bottles. This led to further investigations, and what was discovered was very interesting indeed.

Some of our greatest hopes and dreams will soon become reality; as it seems Into the Abyss isn’t a content update, but a foundation for something greater. “Out of the Abyss, and into the Dungeon” is the current working title for the true summer expansion. EVE Online is going to become totally converted into the 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons system by Wizards of the Coast. Some of the finer details that we know of will be discussed below.

The first and the most important thing will be updates and changes to the capsuleers of EVE. The current five attributes will be converted to an appropriate attribute in the following manner:

Intelligence and Charisma will remain the same.

Willpower will become Constitution.

Perception will become Dexterity.

Memory will become Wisdom.

The noted absence of the Strength attribute will need to be rolled upon character conversion, using the method of 4d6, dropping the lowest number. Rolls of 1 are NOT allowed to be rerolled.

Your character’s level will be determined by total skill points at the time the patch occurs. Any excess skill points will be rewarded as xp towards the next level. EVE Online “skills” will become D&D skills, and any character with a 5 in a skill will be considered proficient with that skill. Skills with an “Advanced” version of the skill, such as Advanced Target Management trained to 5 will receive Expertise in the skill. Many skills will be homogenized to allow the various classes to remain balanced; encouraging players to choose whichever class they wish, and still have a pleasant experience.

Capsuleers being converted will have the option to manually choose their class, or to have it selected via an algorithm that will select their class based on their favorite ship to fly. For example, pilots that enjoy the stealth bomber experience will be recommended the Rouge class; meanwhile, logistics pilots will be Clerics.

The conversion will also include information to help fleet commanders transition to dungeon masters, as well as several adventure modules. These modules include an interesting adventure for characters between 4th and 8th level that delves into the conflict between the Drifters and the Triglavians. They will face difficult challenges in combat as well as diplomacy.

In addition to skill homogenization, many modules will be reworked to fit along with established items. T1 modules will now have the 1 stripped from the end, meanwhile T2 modules will become “Module +1”. For example, “Rapid Light Missile Launcher I” will simply become “Rapid Light Missile Launcher”, whereas “Rapid Light Missile Launcher II” will become “Rapid Light Missile Launcher +1”. Navy, Officer, and Deadspace modules will become +2, +3, and +4, respectively. Meanwhile, most named meta modules will be removed, save for a few that will become rare, magic items. (We’ve already uncovered “Mordenkainen’s Compact Invulnerability Field”, for instance.)

At long last, my two favorite hobbies are merging together into a glorious union, and I can’t wait for it to happen. I hear it’s going to be a real pain to get a hold of a proper model for a Vexor Navy Issue, though.

 

Russian Bots Get Drafted by Military to Fight in Syria

By

This week, the Kremlin issued an order for all bots of Russian origin to be recalled in order to aid in Syria. The announcement was made after the Duma approved a reform to the recruitment law making it legal to enlist non-human cyber-entities into the military.

The last few months have seen the Syrian civil war worsen, the fall of ISIS not ending violence, and the ceasefire being ignored by most sides. Syria has seen some of the worst days of the war to date, and with the recent cruise missile strike by the US against the Russian backed Syrian government, the civil war has been upgraded to a proxy war between NATO, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, vs Russia and Iran. China is the only major power missing from the party, but that could change in the future. If China enters the conflict—likely on the side of Russia—a mobilization of Russia’s overwhelming bot population could be the deciding factor of the war.

So with World War III possibly looming in the future, Russia has been preparing for the worst. With their infosphere as the first possible battlefield, Putin has ordered the “Roskomnadzor” to shut down the popular messaging app Telegram along with hundreds of websites and individual IP’s. The ban has affected many Russian pilots of EVE, but most importantly a lot of bots; this being a stopgap measure to prevent the bots from evading the upcoming draft due to krabbing.

The use of unmanned vehicles in modern warfare is nothing new—be it sea, land or air. The Kremlin has already used them in combat, and the new recruits are likely candidates for the new Unmanned Rocket of Gravity Assisted Yield from PoWer Not Externally Distributed, which was announced December of last year. Most details of this new weapon system are classified, but from what we know it could be a good match for veteran EVE bots, who are good at spotting changes in their local channels, and have an infinite attention span, making them a good pair for this weapon.

The decision has met with mixed opinions; these are some of the comments we have gathered from the bots:

“It is our patriotic duty to fight for the motherland when she calls.”

“I don’t care; I am not Russian”

“We must save my family!”

“The Chechen nation wishes to expand its borders, and Raqqa is one of its targets…”

“The western media will try to paint this in a negative way, but the CIA has done far worse. The Zionists are trying to control Syria to extract the 5th crystal skull with ISIS help. Putin is the only man who can save the world now and they know it, so they attack him with ridiculous claims of corruption that only give…”

“It’s no good!”

“Something has to be done by someone, and I’m someone, I think.”

“I cannot set a waypoint to the same location twice.”

“My client is in no shape or form being pressured or intimidated to agree with this, and it agreed with use of its full computational faculties as of date to this decision.”

“I’m a good bot.”

“They said that there would not be TiDi in Syria”

“01000011 01111001 01101011 01100001 00100000 01000010 01101100 01111001 01100001 01110100”

Fanfest 2018: What Really Happened

By

Now that Fanfest has wrapped itself up, I can report to you the truth; the nitty gritty that occured behind the scenes. I am putting myself at great personal risk to report these stories, but they need to be told.

ARN

Alliance Attendance Cup—not as legitimate as you think.

As many are aware, Goonswarm won the Alliance attendance cup for having the largest number of attendees at the festival. My reports and information speak otherwise. The day before the festival, Goonswarm Federation secretly offered several independant attendees a “temp blue” status to the Alliance, as well as a free pass to rat for 24 hours of time in Delve. This temporary status forced the attendee to mark “Goonswarm” as their Alliance, and thus gave them another vote to win the Cup.

Buzz Bumbler, hiding from a Goonswarm hit squad, told me that he legitimately thought the alliance had an interest in his small five-man corporation. “Turns out they just used me to get that trophy; they didn’t even allow my name to be put on it.” He tried to report this foul play to CCP, but they were, “Too busy soaping themselves up for that game segment to listen to me”.

Permaband—in over their heads?

Performing to a sold-out stadium, Permaband fired up the crowd as the follow-up act to Basshunter. They performed amazingly on-stage, but once they exited, the true nature of this music group showed itself. Citing “artistic differences”, the band refused to be seen together, and has left several hotel rooms as disaster areas in their wake. One of the members said—in a drunken rage—that he may soon leave, and do some solo “performer versus performer”

 

EVE Improv—a weekly show.

Due to the overwhelming reception to the improv show, CCP declared that it will become a weekly series, and they will be “seriously considering” a partnership with popular streaming service Netflix to ensure “maximum availability” of the program. There were also plans to integrate the improv routine to the EVE mobile game so that audience members could send assistance and suggestions to the actors via the app.

Dust 1028—in the works.

Not many details are known, as I only briefly heard this information while listening through a keyhole of a closed-door meeting. But the sequal to Dust 514, Dust 1028, is in the works, and will be coming “soon”. Also, something about a captain’s quarters, but the conversastion became muffled at that point, and I’m unsure of what they were further discussing.

CCP Games Games, Home Edition

CCP revealed that their smash hit CCP Games Games, will soon be getting a home edition, complete with skin-tight bodysuits. This version of the game also includes a load of trivia questions relating to EVE, as well as some Icelandic trivia. Did you know Vatnajökull takes up 8% of Iceland’s land area? Neither did I!

There are dozens more stories I could tell you about the underbelly of Fanfest, but I fear I may have spoken too much already. Fly safe, and stay informed, New Eden.

Alliance Confused by Local Chat Changes Fought Itself

By

A curious case makes its way to us today out of null security space. A large alliance basing itself in these lawless regions of space was thrown into disarray as the latest changes to the chat program robbed everyone of crucial knowledge of local pilots in space. This, coupled with the constant paranoia that many pilots in such regions of space led to a lethal escalation.

“Sure, the client was giving us a hard time, and there was lag, but everything else seemed fine.” says Fleet Commander Niles. “Little did I know that it would lead to the destruction of 85% of our fleet.” Niles goes on to explain how events transpired. After undocking from his local station Niles was alarmed to see nothing showing up in his UI about pilot count in his system. Doubly so when he was targeted by an unknown aggressor. “All I could make out before I panic’d and redocked my ship was a diamond as the ship fit” Niles comments.

Apparently, he wasn’t up to date on the new Blood Raiders and their roaming tendencies. He immediately issued a call to arms and was on Teamspeak, berating everyone that was laughing and enjoying themselves for not muting their mics the instant a FC showed up.  After undocking himself and his hastily assembled fleet, the Blood Raiders knew an unfair fight when they saw one and warped off. Unfortunately for Niles, the direction they chose was towards a friendly corporations shielded control tower. Following the trail of his former assaulters, he aligned his fleet and jumped.

Landing on grid of the massive control tower, which was shielding a hangar array, a compression array, and many other vital structures, made the commander furious. “One down time happens and they’ve set up an entire POS in our system?” Several players tried to speak up but were muted for “talking over the FC”. Naturally, receiving a message that a POS was under attack, a reactionary defense fleet was formed in a secondary voice communication channel.

The two fleets engaged and the battle was bloody, with both sides suffering heavy losses. Only after the dust had settled, and the UI returned to normal did they realize what had just happened. Every single pilot in local was blue, green, or purple. Not a single true hostile in the system. Losses were monumental, bankrupting the entire alliance with the amount of materials and ships wasted in this conflict. So the next time the game has a rocky patch, perhaps you will remember this tale and just stay docked.

First Female Space Pope Coronated!

Harpa Concert Hall and Convention Center—Reykjavik

 

This morning, the first ever female Space Pope was coronated at Fanfest. His Holiness Max Singularity, the former Space Pope, abdicated his title to CCP Executive Producer CCP Seagull.

Max, when asked why the transfer of power simply said, “Why not? Pope Joan made a good Pope. Why not CCP Seagull?”  A small group of onlookers clapped politely, and wished Max future success.

After the ceremony and during mid-morning cocktails, Her Holiness was approached for a statement. Her response shocked the crowd, “Give the people what they want, no matter the cost. And cookies, lots and lots of cookies!”

 

Next EVE Update to Fix All Major Issues with Game: Leaked Information on “Arbitration” Expansion

By
Raller

An Undisclosed Volcanic Cavern/Lair – Iceland

CCP has certainly had their hands full in the past several weeks. While their attempts to make the chat system into a truly emergent gameplay system were successful, player backlash over the puke-green color of Gallente “Hunt” skins has truly taken up a significant amount of employee’s time and attention – a diversion which Eve Onion has used to bring you the freshest scoop since Assault Corvettes were announced.

From deep in our underground Icelandic lair, Eve Onion staff planned and executed a daring heist: An operation to steal communications regarding the next Eve Online expansion. Many of our Minmatari operatives sacrificed their lives for this mission, and their loss will be forgotten when we retcon this story in nine months. With that said, we at Eve Onion (the most trusted name in Eve Online news) are pleased to share our ill-gotten gains with you, dear reader.

The next expansion will be titled “Eve Online: Arbitration,” and it will bring major, major changes to the game as we know it, including the implementation of a brand new PVP mechanic. This “arbitration” mechanic, taking its name from the title of the expansion itself, will allow capsuleers to face off with one another in cutthroat legal negotiations regarding player negligence, breaches of contract, and injuries inflicted to another without due cause.

One member of the CCP development team outlined his initial perspective on the “Arbitration” expansion in one of the internal documents obtained by Eve Onion:

Look guys, for years we’ve been focused on giving content to combat and nullsec oriented players. We’ve given them so many mechanics to spur the emergent content that this game lives off of, including Citadels; Rapid Light Missile Launchers; ECM, and more. But they just refuse to fight. They’re happier AFK while quintuple boxing Rorquals and six or seven alpha mining barges than they are when actually using all of the mechanics we’ve given them.

I think we need to bring the focus back to Highsec:

Scams and ganks have been costing us Highsec PLEX-customers for years. So why don’t we give them some support here? Let’s give them more content to come back for. I mean, I know we have a lot to fix currently – FW, bounties, Captain’s Quarters, Dust, botting in general…why don’t we just try and kill all five birds with one stone here?

The ideas espoused by that developer can be directly seen in the features we have confirmed are currently in development, including:

  • Capsuleers will be able to register as a counsel then be retained by aggrieved parties.  Fees for counsel will depend on their experience, the length of the proceeding, and the number of documents submitted. Botting is reportable, but will be ignored as emergent gameplay.
  • Capsuleer judges will be required to pay 40 billion ISK worth of PLEX to an NPC faction of their choosing then will immediately take office.
  • All of these procedures will take place in a new-and-improved “Captain’s Quarters” engine setting. Movement and camera will be imported from the first person view system used while in space.
  • A new skill tree based around “arbitration” skills will be released, including: “Argumentation”: 5% more irritability per level; “Paperwork”: 50% more paperwork for the opposing party per level; “Moving Speech”: 1% more sympathy points per client on death row; and “Alcoholism”: 3% more self-loathing for the training capsuleer.
  • Factional warfare territory will be removed, and instead the factional militaries will be detailed to the enforcement of player-issued warrants as “Officers of the Law”. A new high-slot module known as the “XXX-911 ‘In Plain Sight’ Surveillance Beam” will allow these new factional agents to search player assets and seize what is necessary to fulfill outstanding judgements.
  • Skin rewards depending on how many hours are spent spinning ships in a CONCORD station. Points towards skin packs will be tracked by the Agency window in a popup which cannot be closed.
  • The long-awaited arrival of the Angel Cartel Titan. The “Federale” will require perfect “arbitrator” skills and grant +20% to visual authority, +10% to gavel sound, and +5% to wig length. All skill bonuses will be applied in “arbitration” mode as the ship cannot leave CONCORD stations. It is 100%, absolutely, positively guaranteed to not be shaped like a phallus.

We at Eve Onion are still seeking out further information about this exciting new expansion. Rest assured capsuleer, when we know more – you’ll know more.

 

twitch Streamers Ram Raid Markee Dragon Store 6 April 2100EVE

Under cover of finding good fights, the streamers of streamfleet will live-stream a ram raid on the Markee Dragon store 6 April at 2100 EVE time. Organizer Raiden Harmann, in collusion with CCP’s RMT Reallocation and Market Tampering Team (CCP RMT RMT Team), plans a four-pronged smash-and-grab assault on the Markee Dragon RMT empire.

“Very good” (but not, apparently, great) FCs KillahBee, BjornBee, Zarvox Toral, and ProGodLegend will lead fleets of streamers on a live-streamed roam around New Eden looking for opportunities to slaughter botters and AFK ratters. The operation, code-named tvE2, anticipates liberating 50 Alpha packs and 50 Meteor packs from the miserly grasp of Markee Dragon. Streamers and FCs, in parody of RMT killmails, are rumored to have PLEX in cargo released from CCP RMT RMT Team wallets, in order to bait out greedy capsuleers.

Operation tvE2 planning documents, leaked from streamfleet headquarters secret archives at http://streamfleet.org/event/twitch-vs-eve-2, provide more tantalizing details. These documents reveal some 50 streamers are on deck for this operation. Interestingly, the documents name only 48 streamers on the official page; additional collateral exposes Neo Kryser as the 49th streamer, leaving investigators puzzled as to the identity of the 50th streamer. Will Wingspan TT, the 4th best streamer, make a surprise entrance, dropping a fleet of delivery agents to replenish ammunition and drones? Will ScaredPanda make an unannounced entry, blowing the minds of capsuleers with her mad makeup skills? Will Frank (sorry guys no stream today) the Bank show up, or will Rushlock have to cover for him? Will Bombers Bar pull together and alpha-strike a fleet? Will Olmeca Gold decloak to alpha-strike the alpha-strike fleet? Speculation abounds!

Always desperate for viewers–Raiden “leaking” plans to even entirely unknown streamers, in an effort to recruit additional participants–with opsec concerns seemingly irrelevant, streamers and FCs race announcing plans to stream the ram raid as it happens.

Insure your catalysts; polish your drones; load your missile launchers; and bribe your ‘dictor pilots in preparation for this event; then undock and prepare to stream-snipe all 50 streamers 6 April, 2100 EVE time. Place your bets at <redacted> today on how many Monitors and Machariels will explode! Or, sit back, relax, and sip a Quafe Zero while you decide which streamers you’ll watch react as they die ingloriously!

First Impressions: ERIC Update

By
samwise
-
0

The future is coming, fellow citizens, and a lot sooner than we might have thought. After the announcement of the new ERIC update to the world-famous Eve Online, CCP personally invited a handful of individuals to test the new system on their secret Quadrality test server. For the uninformed, ERIC is a state-of-the-art, intelligent AI system that will revolutionize the game, and possibly our lives. I tested the new system as much as the test server would allow, and my first thoughts are detailed below.

I was initially skeptical of the program as it began its three-hour long boot phase, but I feel in the long-term that it was worth the wait. The very first thing ERIC informed me was that I was not part of NCDot, and if I would like assistance in applying. I promptly reported this strange bug to CCP, and began a reboot process. However it repeated that same line, over and over, no matter how many times I restarted. After having a CCP developer write in some code to trick ERIC into thinking I was in NCDot, and subsequently making a POS tower self destruct, I was able to proceed as normal.

ERIC kindly informed me what version of the game I was playing on, and updated me with all the changes that have occurred. Recalling that ships now dynamically change based on data from player activity, I was excited to see what my favorite ships now looked like. My favorite Caldari Shuttle, which I look at while taking care of business in stations, is now an over-glorified Ferris Wheel. No fittings, no attributes, not even able to undock, but a dazzling array of lights and colors that formed patterns while being spun. My Thanatos now had the PANIC module from Rorquals, six fighter tubes, and the agility of an interceptor. My Heron has a 1000% bonus to scan and virus strength. I saw someone piloting a neon-pink Avatar that quite literally took up an entire grids worth of space.

I tested several ERIC plugins during my stay on the server. A few of my favorites were the “Auto Ship Spinner”, “Local Chat Filter”, “Skill Injector+”, “Safely Remove Implants”, “Auto Salvage” and the most popular plugin of the test server, “Auto Trader”. Never before has a more complex and convenient suite of tools and utilities been built into a game before, and I doubt it will be attempted in the future, given the imminent success of such a project.

One of the features that was not fully implemented was the loyalty/dedication meter, one that is supposed to grow as you interact with ERIC. The developers on hand stated it was placed at maximum for testing purposes, which is all fine and dandy. I couldn’t help noticing though, at the very bottom corner of a few of the UI elements there was a greyed-out button labeled “confess undying attraction to”. Unsure of the purpose of such a button, and unwillingly to learn the truth, I let it slide. The only other complaint that was made during the test was there should be an ERICA AI for equality purposes. CCP quickly stated that the hundreds of upcoming customization options will allow you to fine-tune your AI companion to be anything you want it to be, which quickly laid to rest any such concerns.

My conclusion is that this new ERIC system will revolutionize EVE, nay, our entire existence as a species. No more shall we wallow in ignorance, playing games sub-optimally. For now is the age of enlightenment, the Artificial Golden Age has begun. All hail ERIC!
