I’m doing COSMOS missions, and on this one I’m finishing now, the agent moved to this system because of a Black Monolith. I got to the pocket with the monolith, and its description in the Show Info page was “It’s full of stars”. Nice pull, CCP

Downtime is now expected to last until 23:30 UTC due to the additional server updates."
Maybe it’s just the lighting, but my character looks remarkably vacant in her quarters. Seems like I lose a lot of detail too. And that’s with shader set to high (which I don’t usually do.
Oh, and your ship still spins. when it’s in the station. 
Wonder if that’s for all the people who complained about spinning in station being gone.
Nice concise summary of recent development.

I’m shocked that CQ (Captain’s Quarters) has melted someone’s PC (link in aticle above).
First day of CSM meeting has ended.

“Anyone can shoot themselves in the foot, or the ass, but in this case CCP managed to do both with one shot, which takes real skill.”
lol…
EVE radio has a special with CSM delegates.

Show thread for tonight.
Another FunkyBacon Show, Midnight (Eve Time) on Eve-Radio

“Sorry guys, we are having some technical issues, the show is pushed back 30 minutes. We’re still coming.”
Looks like the official statement is fairly reassuring.
Good on beating me to post.
I’m not convinced because a year ago they said:
http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1341909&page=1#7
“We do not have plans to go microtransaction with EVE.”
Now they say:
“There are no plans, and have been no plans, as per previous communication and CSM meetings, to introduce the sale of game breaking items or enhancements in the NeX store.”
If that’s true, then why the newsletter? And, why couldn’t they just say that a week ago?
I guess this means this time next year they’ll have game breaking items and enhancements for sale.
Here’s an addendum by CCP Navigator.

EVE Online: Post-CSM Summit Press Conference Report
http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/14/feature/5382/EVE-Online-PostCSM-Summit-Press-Conference-Report.html
“… hoping, we do our jobs right it’s going to be running for 80 more. I don’t want to put the person doing my job 80 years from now into a position where I’ve promised something.”
really?
“This is, this is a bit of noise.”
What decibel I wonder. A friend said, “Saturn V launch, at ground-zero.”
"I spend a lot of time on Failheap Challenge, which is a forum for primarily the most bitter of that long tail of bitter players. I don’t really give a sh*t what they say, in fact, if you look at any of my posts in dealing with them, I actively go out of my way to antagonize them because I’m a cruel person and I enjoy making people like that angry, and from a political perspective it’s also good to marginalize them.
This is the chairman of the CSM???

We are currently investigating issues with the EVE Online service. TQ, all Web sites, and the API are currently down. #eveonline #tweetfleet
This one is better than the mmorpg.com link I posted I think.
EVE Online press conference answers vital questions, transcript inside
http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/07/06/eve-online-press-conference-answers-vital-questions-transcript/
Well, I think he’s the chairman of Goonswarm too. What else do you expect? :shifty:
I expect the elected head to think better of players. ):
We extended an invitation for a CSM rep to join us for it at the end of the summit after the invites had been sent to the fansites and press, which they accepted. Thanks as well to the other CSM members willing to join us. Even though they were supposed to be more CCP focused, it was good to get the CSM perspective in real time.
So, undoubtedly attendees are starting on their coverage now in various forms.
I will link in this post whatever links I get so they are less hard to find.
We got through all of the gaming press questions and NEARLY all of the fansite ones–which I will be doing followup on.

Failheap pundits are barely players anymore. Buncha bitter vets who crap on everything and barely log their supers in except to get them outa system before whatever iteration of Tri loses sov this week.
Lol. I was becoming curious about the fhp site. Not worth going to then?
CCP and Nexon Announce Strategic Partnership for Eve Online in Japan

“CCP and Nexon Co., Ltd. today announced an agreement to bring a fully localized game client and product services for CCP’s award winning science fiction virtual world experience, EVE Online, to Japan this fall.”
New trailer seemingly released in conjunction with the announcement.
EVE Online: “I Was There”

My Crom that was a good trailer. Felt like Day of Darkness II. But, I feel like he should say, “Game over, man. Game over!”
Ugh, just hopping through lowsec to get to the dead end system the last Caldari COSMOS mission chain was in and… well
