| Day of Darkness II - A New Eve Fan Video by Dire Lauthris |
Based on the Chronicle "The Breakout",
Dire Lauthris newest fan video tells the story of Admiral Yakiya
Tovil-Toba. With nothing more than a Chimera and a few dozen attack
craft, Tovil-Toba attempted to save millions of lives on Caldari Prime
while it was under attack by Gallente forces some 200 years ago. The
actions of the Admiral gave the Caldari enough time to finish the
evacuation of citizens trapped by the Gallente assault.
Featuring stunning in-game footage and a fabulous narration by
StevieSG, this video is one that will not disappoint. Full details can
be found here.

| Fighting Lag: Faction Warfare Edition, Round Two! |
As you may know, we have been investigating the issue of lag in Faction Warfare for a while.
We
have looked at the server side of this issue, and now we need to look
at the client side. This means that we need you, the community, to help
us. To get accurate information on what is going on with the client, we
need information from users experiencing the issues.
The more
people that help us with this, the faster and more accurately we can
solve this issue. What makes it even better is that it is easy and fun
to help out. This is what we need from you: We need you to run the
logserver (easy), and participate in as many Faction Warfare battles as
possible (fun).
If you want to help, please read CCP Soundwave's forum post for step-by-step instructions on what you can do to help us gather data.

| Strategic Cruisers: A New Breed |
“glitter is the herpes of craft supplies”
Demetri Martin, because everyone else is using quotes.
As we enter our sixth sprint,
titled Superion, team "T3ch" is still working relentlessly towards its
goals. Having accomplished a lot in previous sprints (named Magnaboss,
Voltron, Zeta Gundam, and Devastator) things are going smoothly. For
many of us, this is our first time working within a scrum team and the
operation has been very successful so far.
Team "T3ch" consists of Tuxford and 2Kay from software, Lemur and
Dionysus assuring quality, Chiliad, our “Product Owner”, finally
Chronotis and I heading up the designs. As can be gleaned from the team
name, our primary task is introducing Tech 3 but we're also working on
a new and improved fitting screen, mechanics that allow you to save and
share your setups and of course, the eternal task of general
improvements and bugfixing. In this blog you’ll get a short summary of
the dark delights of Tech 3 ships.

| Tranquility Extended Downtime Wednesday 18th February: 06:00 to 12:00 GMT |
On Wednesday, 18th February, there will be an six hour downtime on
Tranquility for database hardware upgrades starting at 06:00 GMT and
lasting until 12:00 GMT. Specifically, we will be putting the finishing
touches on our new 2TB RamSan 500, which has joined our existing two RamSan 400
powering the EVE database cluster. The downtime will also affect the
Support section, EVE API, MyEVE, Secure, Forums, Bug reporting and
Account Services which will be down for the duration.
Following
Wednesday, the entirety of the EVE database will be running on RamSan
technology which is part of our goal to reduce downtime durations and
ensure that EVE continues to remain free from database lag! Look out
for a Dev Blog next week with all the juicy details on the upgrade.

| Eve Online: Skill QUE |
Skipping a nicely written intro that will entertain a few readers
and cause others to lose interest I´ll come straight to the point:
We´re developing a skill queue. I´m expecting that the bearer of
good news is praised and flattered. The CSM was happy to hear we were
developing a skill queue, but their songs of praise were rather short.
I expect haikus. You may want to read on and make yourself familiar
with how the queue works and the early UI mock-up.
