32 PATCH NOTES FOR MARCH 2016: RELEASE 1.0
DEFECT FIXES:
DOCKED CAMERA: DRAGGING ITEMS OUTSIDE OF INVENTORY NO LONGER ROTATES THE CAMERA.
THIRD PARTY DEVELOPMENT:
On March 4, CCP released next the patch notes for the March 8 update. (YC 118.3) This new patch contain a host of EVE online additions, tweaks, and changes. CCP aims to deliver with this patch, as it is chocked full of space goodies. In addition, eligible pilots were gifted 200,000 unallocated skillpoints the morning of March 4 due to server incostencies in the weeks prior as EVE was moved to new hardware.
Changes coming with this patch include: a new soundtrack theme, altered drifter wormhole mechanics, five new legal boosters, new Stasis Grappler modules, a new round of module tiercide, new buddy list functionality, project discovery, new LP items, loot table updates for Drifters and Circadian Seekers, new structure skills, Fuel Block recipe changes (get ready to haul stront), changes to the “new camera”, new starbase functionality, and the addition of an ‘Import Shopping List’ amongst many other UI, graphics, and gameplay fixes. Below are some quick highlights for a few of the many changes.
WHAT’S YOUR STATUS?
A major shakeup will come with the new buddy list functionality. Being able to see another characters online status via the watch list will now require mutual consent. This will surely shake-up a few facets of EVE not limited to hunting a specific target (such as a Supercarrier, Titan, or Jump Freighter), knowing if that cloaky camper or roaming gang logged off when he went to the next system over, or general spying activities. If a character has not added you back they will remain offline until they too add you.
DON’T FORGET YOUR SUITCASE?
Wait, maybe I can leave that back at home? The Damage Control module is set to go from an active to a passive module and will have its hull resist reduced. All ships will instead now have a 33% bonus to all hull damage resistance. As most PVP-active EVE players will attest to, the Damage Control has long been a fitting staple for most optimal PVP-setups. Maybe in this brave new world of pre-bonused hull damage resistances we can start to forego it (although nothing may change). Look out for new faction and officer type Damage Controls as they have been added alongside this change.
FUEL BLOCK REVAMP
Just what the economy needs, a good ol’ material redistribution for all currently termed isotype-specific (not racial) Fuel Blocks. The base planetary interaction materials have been changed (although not included in the patch notes) and also 20 strontium that have been added to the cost per fuel block. Market speculation for days, literally.
In addition to Fuel Block changes, starbases will also benefit from a few more tweaks. New deployable structures have been added that include Acceleration Coils, the Advertisement Nexus, and an Electromagnetic Sensor. Starbases will also be able to package items the same as stations improving their functionality for those who seek an experience in EVE without the constant need of a home station. Lastly, four new skills for starbase control have been added that include Structure Defensive Systems, Structure Electronic Systems, Structure Engineering Systems, and Structure Missile Systems.
PROJECT DISCOVERY AND THE SISTERS OF EVE
Project Discovery, the new feature for making ISK and pushing the boundaries of real-world biomedicine, will also be released on Tuesday. Project discovery in a nutshell is a massive high-throughput approach to protein cellular localization analysis. Proteins that are encoded by a cell’s genome perform diverse biological functions sort of like a little nanomachine. Starting tuesday, EVE players will be able to help characterize where these little machines are found within human cells. Project discovery is a lot like Galaxy Zoo, or [email protected], but with actual compensation.
For your efforts ISK and LP will be your reward and as such new LP store items will be available from the Sisters of EVE as well, maybe some new Damage Controls will be included?
The patch notes have been included on Page 2. Please stay tuned as TMC provides additional coverage on many of the included changes coming with next Tuesdays patch.

MODULES:
- Citadel Cruise Missiles and Citadel Torpedoes have been renamed XL Cruise Missiles and XL Torpedoes respectively.
- New Stasis Grappler modules have been released.
- Stasis Grapplers are a new form of webifier that may only be fit to Battleships and Capital Ships, and are limited to one per ship.
- Stasis Grapplers use falloff for most of their effective range, and therefore they are strongest at very close range and have reduced effectiveness at range
- All the details of these new modules can be found in this forum feedback thread.
A new round of Module Tiericide has been released, bring changes and improvements to hundreds of modules.
- This round of tiericide covers Target Painters, Sensor Dampeners, ECM Jammers, ECM Bursts, Tracking Computers, Remote Tracking Computers, Omnidirectional Tracking Links, Tracking Enhancers, Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancers, Gyrostabilizers, Magnetic Field Stabiliziers, Heat Sinks, Ballistic Control Systems, Drone Damage Amplifiers, Stasis Webifiers, Warp Disruptors and Scramblers, Sensor Boosters, Remote Sensor Boosters, Signal Amplifiers, ECCM, Projected ECCM, Sensor Backup Arrays, Capacitor Batteries and Damage Controls.
Highlights of these changes include:
- A revamped falloff formula for all electronic warfare modules that reduces effect strength at long range instead of using random chance.
- Significant increases to Target Painter range.
- Sensor Boosters and ECCM have been fully merged into one set of modules that provides bonuses to Scan Resolution, Targeting Range and Omni Sensor Strength. Similar merging has occurred for Remote Sensor Boosters and Projected ECCM, and for Signal Amplifiers and Sensor Backup Arrays.
- Cap Batteries now reduce the strength of incoming capacitor warfare effects, rather than having a chance to reflect the hostile effects. They have also been buffed significantly.
- Damage Controls are now passive modules, and provide reduces hull resistances. This extra hull resistance has been integrated directly into the base ship stats, providing every ship in the game with 33% base hull damage resistances. New faction and officer Damage Controls have been added.
Full details of these module tiericide changes can be found in the following forum feedback and discussion threads:
Target Painters
Sensor Dampeners
ECM and Burst Jammers
Tracking Upgrades
Damage Upgrades
Stasis Webifiers
Warp Disruptors and Scramblers
Sensor and ECCM Modules
Cap Batteries
