The September release will see several quality of visual-life improvements for Wormholes and Stars. Read the dev blog for more details, which include updates to the low shader quality versions of both stars and wormholes, an increase to the animation speed of solar surfaces to give stars a more dynamic appearance, wormhole age visual differences and more!
The EVE Dev team have been working on a package of tweaks, fixes and improvements for the September 2019 release. These changes, with a couple of exceptions, are primarily focused on improving the experience for pilots in their first few hours and days in New Eden. Many of these changes will be useful for pilots of all experience levels.
We’ve added a series of warnings to the fitting window, to help new and old players improve their fitting skills and avoid some more common pitfalls.

After 66 days, the blackout of local chat in nullsec came to an end during downtime on 16 September 2019 and local returned to immediate mode with full population counts and member lists. The blackout has given us an incredible amount of insight in terms of player behavior, sentiment and ability to adapt to rapid short notice changes. This will help to better inform us on where to take the direction of New Eden in the future.
As of Wednesday, 11 September 2019, the switch was made so the 64-Bit client for EVE Online is the default for pilots moving forward. We are incredibly thankful to all those pilots who took the time to asssist with testing on both the Singularity and Tranquility servers! This has been a massive project for EVE Online so far, and represents a huge technical milestone in the continued development of EVE, helping to future proof New Eden as we head toward the third decade.
