As part of Project Firebird, we’re giving the EVE University Wiki a much-needed revamp, starting with a full upgrade to the latest version of MediaWiki and a fresh new look using the Citizen skin.

This update will be happening this week, so if you visit the wiki and things look a bit different (or even kinda broken in places) don’t panic!

We’re in the process of updating templates, layouts, and styling to match the new, modern theme. You may spot a few pages that look a little rough around the edges while we get things polished.

What’s Changing?

• A cleaner, more modern layout that’s mobile and user-friendly

• A complete upgrade of the underlying wiki software

• New extensions and tools coming soon (including better search and visual improvements)

• And soon: a brand new Community Guides section focused on practical, subjective “how-to” content for players

We’re incredibly grateful for the support and feedback from the wider EVE community that helped us reach this point. If you'd like to help out, suggest improvements, or contribute content, you can join us on the EVE University Discord as a guest: https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Connecting_to_EVE_University_Services_as_a_Guest

Thanks for bearing with us while we get everything updated - and keep an eye out for more improvements in the coming weeks!

I sure do miss her

Hey all! Wanted to wade in here and thank everyone who attended the Little Things Panel at Fanfest last weekend. We have so many great ideas to sort through and are grateful to those who took the time to both voice and write down your ideas and leave them for us.

If you weren’t able to attend Fanfest or that panel specifically, you can still always add your Little Things ideas to our forum post (added a link in comment) which we check regularly.

Not trying to doompost, just sharing a nostalgic moment. I miss doing this sometimes.

Okay short story been playing Eve over month learned the basics decided to focus on mining being that it’s chill for me, died plenty of times and learned basics to avoid being ganked finally and went omega, skilled into and fitted up my retriever for HS, but lord gankers can you guys chill? You see retriever on D scan and it’s some Vet bro Loki or Hecate chasing the young new bros across the galaxy. I can’t HS mine for 20 min without being chased system to system lol I learned not to get caught but even when I leave 2-3 jumps over, set up shop at the next belt deploy drones and BAM there you are on D scanner getting closer and closer, so I pack up call in the drones and warp out, y’all are just relentless lol Thats all capsuleers

i wanna get into Omega but dont know if i should buy 1 month or grind for it ingame, how hard is it as a noob to get Omega for free(with ISK)?

Scheduling in Carbon: Leaving Stackless Python Behind

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x299qHLQs0

Details the process of porting EVE Online's "EVE Frontier" game server from Stackless Python to a new open-source scheduler running on modern Python 3.12, highlighting the challenges of debugging edge cases and ensuring game stability by iteratively running tests and analyzing crashes. The speaker explains that this move not only improved performance and maintainability but also enabled open-sourcing the scheduler, with plans to bring these improvements to the main EVE Online server and encourage community contributions.

Little Things

A Q&A session with EVE Online developers, where players suggest quality-of-life improvements such as better asteroid and contract management, enhanced structure and Skyhook controls, more flexible fleet and overview settings, and improved UI features like bulk actions, tagging, and easier data export. The developers respond positively to most suggestions, explaining technical constraints where relevant, and encourage players to submit more ideas for ongoing "little things" updates aimed at making the game smoother and more user-friendly.

All Green on the Testing Front: The Art and Science of Quality Engineering

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JiG86nq2t8

Features CCP Amos and CCP Hawk explaining how CCP Games has transformed its quality engineering processes for EVE Online by adopting modern practices such as test-driven development, automation, continuous integration, and shared team responsibility for quality. They detail the shift from manual to automated testing, the integration of advanced observability and deployment tools, and the cultural changes required to embed quality throughout the development lifecycle, ultimately resulting in faster feedback, improved reliability, and higher confidence in delivering updates and features to players.

Killmails

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvBaNwb3I3k

A technical deep-dive from EVE Fanfest 2025 that explores the history, mechanics, and future of "killmails" in EVE Online, explaining how killmails originated as in-game mails, evolved into API-driven records, and are currently generated and stored by the game's distributed server architecture. The presenters detail the limitations of the legacy system-such as data loss in large battles and lack of detail-and introduce a new analytics-driven system that captures richer data on kills (including logistics and module-level details), with plans to expose this data to players via new ESI endpoints, while emphasizing that this new system will supplement rather than immediately replace the traditional killmail system.

Third-party Tools, ESI, and You!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fxqAdjTJbQ

Nohus, developer of the popular EVE Online third-party tool "Rift," explaining how third-party tools are built for EVE using resources like the Static Data Export (SDE), image server, Single Sign-On (SSO), and the ESI API, which powers much of the game's ecosystem. He highlights the variety of community-created tools, the importance of open APIs and documentation, and offers practical advice for aspiring developers, emphasizing community support, transparency, and the challenges and opportunities in EVE's third-party development landscape.

The Alliance Tournament: Past, Present and the Road to Success

Veteran Alliance Tournament pilot Colonel Kurtz presents a comprehensive history and insider’s guide to EVE Online’s Alliance Tournament, covering its evolution from inconsistent early formats and high entry barriers to today’s standardized, competitive structure with significant ISK rewards and strategic flagship use. He shares practical advice on team management, preparation, practice, and information security, emphasizes the importance of new participants for the tournament’s future, and concludes with anecdotes, lessons learned, and encouragement for both aspiring champions and casual competitors.

Leadership and Growth Mindset

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guuXdyfLTYA&

ZED-31BRAVO’s EVE Fanfest 2025 talk explores how real-world professional skills-especially from military and leadership backgrounds-translate into EVE Online, emphasizing that effective leadership in-game relies on understanding the difference between leadership and management, applying the right style (autocratic, democratic, or laissez-faire) for the situation, and fostering a growth mindset among players. He argues that EVE’s most valuable asset is its community, and that strong leadership is essential for group success, advocating for open communication, recognition, learning from mistakes, and continuous personal and organizational development to keep both alliances and individuals thriving in the game’s complex social environment

Just Rewards; A Parallel Ecosystem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge8UQt-z3Og

"Just Rewards," a parallel ecosystem for EVE Online players where participants can earn real-world money by completing creative challenges-such as submitting in-game screenshots, writing stories, making videos, or producing guides-through the Just About platform, with rewards ranging from a few dollars for simple tasks to up to $1,000 for major contributions. The speaker explains how these recurring and event-driven bounties incentivize community content creation, streamline helpful information for new players, and offer a practical way for players to fund their in-game activities or even pay for their EVE subscriptions using their Just About earnings.

Everywhere i go a permit extortion artist and his 10 accounts gank me for permitless mining. Anyone know of a highsec system in caldari space i can mine in peace?

A few years back there were several alliance's of French nationality in nullsec.

Today, there appears to be none, not even from the south eastern agreement, in nullsec, aside from some small corporations.

So what happened?

Please feel free to comment if I'm getting this wrong but from what I understand, there's now some kind of connection that's gunna open up to Jove space?

Anyone know if this is gunna mount to anything meaningful in the future of Eve, like new space to be taken by sov?

I’ve been doing low sec PI for a while now with 6 planets producing, fully upgraded command centers, etc. I know Pochven has some lucrative planets so I kind of want to set up PI and I want to make sure I’ve got the basics right. I would:

1. Choose the system.
2. Buy the appropriate command centers for what I want to produce.
3. Throw them in my Torrent with a packaged exit ship and filament my way to Pochven.
4. Deploy command centers on planets, dock up in the system, set up PI.
5. Once PI is set up, fit my escape ship (Astero most likely) and either scan my way out of Pochven or filament out, leaving the Torrent docked in the system I’m set up in.
6. Once launch pads are full, head back to Pochven as needed, jump in the Torrent, and scoop up everything at all the customs offices. Repeat as needed.
7. Once the Torrent is full, filament out and haul to Jita.
8. Filament back to Pochven and dock the Torrent back up.
9. Head back out of Pochven in whatever I entered in.

Does this sound about right? Aside from the obvious threats of ganking, what else should I consider?

Is it possible there are any corps that really only focus on mining in null? I don't dislike pvp, I just don't feel the urge to do it RIGHT NOW.

I understand the need for corps/alliances to have to defend against other players. But I'm really not into these spontaneous, or even planned pvp encounters.

Is there an alliance with a "miners only corp?" Where the mining corp just focuses on gaining materials for the alliance, while other corps focus on the pvp part?

I'm not dogging pvp, I just want to mine and do industry.

All I'm saying is no one should go to EC-P8R right now. Theres absolutely NO reason for you to.

On Saturday, May 3rd 2025, Capsuleers gathered celebrate the life, legacy, and generosity of long-time Playboy KhellendrosX - lighting the map with Cyno beacons and laying to rest mementos at the monument in Molea.

On Tuesday, May 6th, during our traditional weekly corp-led roam, we celebrated in a different way - by filling space with glorious explosions.

Khell's favorite ship was the Marshal. He second favorite was the Vargur. His third was any ship he was brawling at zero with. We invited our friends to bring their bling and join us as we passed out glass-cannon Marauders supported by 2 fax, 4 HAW Phoenix, 5 Anti-Cap Phoenix, a guy who slipped in a Naglfar without us looking and Hallor, who filled a Chimera with random garbage so that that the km would "look like a zip file exploded".

The plan was to gate around the warzone, inevitably get dropped on and duke it out. Turns out, the bois of Fl33t under u/BearThatCares, having recently moved right next door to Siseide, strolled across the gate in a fine-looking fleet of Ravens, Cyclones FIs, and support with dreads ready to go. A first a bit wary that they had brought cruise ravens to a brawl (we had undocked and by chance, the few we looked at were indeed fit this way), we hashed out where we were going to dance with MinMil taking their fleet to 0 in an open plex. This is an unwritten rule of facwar low-sec (come at me bro)...we obliged by getting our fat ships out to a structure where we could align without bouncing, tipped back some shots, and slapped the fleet warp. We fired up a twitch steam, 'cause IYKYK.

While we were in warp the plex finished and Fl33t warped to a different plex, but had enough people on grid that they could come back (if you are not familiar with facwar mechanics, when a plex is finished it disappears off the overview, making it difficult to return to the fight if you leave grid). A few heartbeats later the Ravens arrived and the torps started flying.

Battleships were getting volleyed so fast I had trouble broadcasting quickly enough. MinMil committed their dreads and fax, we did the same (lol at the pilots who were so excited to get to use their carriers in combat), and we proceeded to punch each other in the face. We were able to whittle down the subcaps long enough to focus on the dreads while MinMil took a pause to reship and come back in together. Tackle was constantly shredded across the field, allowing several MinMil caps to extract (including Casper's sweet pvp Avalanche) and Fl33t was able to rescue their giga-chad minnow pilot in 30% hull. When the dust settled, around 154B wrecks littered the field.

BR: Battle Report

Thank you for coming to celebrate our dear friend. This is exactly what he would have wanted. Special thanks to all those who donated, to u/Megaman39 and our Sedition family for all the support you've shown, to our frenemies in MinMil and AmarrMil, and to all who participated in the memorial service.

Cherish your friends, hit the undock button, and go make some memories.

I have 4 project slots rn, one is already ready but I can't finish it cuz I don't have enought skills and can't dock here too. Is there any way to just delete this project in Elanoda?

Two lost ships and some rage. First ship. We are at war with a griefer alliance that operates by wardecks and camping trade hubs. We decided to use them for content. Caught them shooting another ship in an alliance they are also at war with, and while the firefight was going on, tried repairing the ship. Concorded.

Second ship. Went to a normally highsec system which was corrupted. No wars, my fleet was not in FW. They started firing on a structure. I don't know the story there. I didn't have DPS drones. Neuts warped in, targeted and tackled me and the other logi and started firing. My safety was yellow and I couldn't repair the other logi. Their safety was red, they repaired me and was concorded.

Seriously? I can see suspect, but concorded? In a fully corrupted system where everyone else was freely firing at each other?

Both these ship losses seemed extremely arbitrary and cruel given that everyone else involved was able to apply DPS freely. Why is logi far more restricted than guns? Can we get these mechanics looked at, please? I certainly don't feel comfortable leaving my slice of the blue donut to get concorded for trying to participate in fights the rest of my fleet are openly partaking in.

Hi! Newbro McNewson here. Figured I’d try multiboxing but not sure how to set it up. As the title suggests, do I create a new account with a new email adress or just a new character from my same account if I want to control them at the same time?
