Jump Bridges
It is now only possible for one jump bridge to be online in a system at any given time. If two jump bridges are online in the same system when the patch is deployed, one of them will be taken offline. If you try to anchor a jump bridge in a system that already has one jump bridge or more anchored, it will not anchor. No jump bridges will be unanchored by the patch. Players will be able to unanchor their jump bridges that are offlined by the patch.
Jump bridges will have their storage capacity increased from 10,000m3 to 30,000m3. This is to aid with logistics.
Ships
All players logging into Tranquility will now have to create an avatar. You will not be able to proceed into game without one.
FEATURES
Captain's Quarters
The Maller, an Amarr cruiser, has had a dramatic makeover and looks fantastic. Go buy one tomorrow and be the envy of all your friends.
Captain's Quarters
A new 3D user interface has been built to support interaction with Captain's Quarters features.
The station hangar has been replaced with Captain's Quarters. Capsuleers can now, for the first time, step out of their pod and stretch their legs in their personal quarters. Please check out this dev blog by CCP Zulu for more information.
Captain's Quarters include the hangar balcony, where one can enjoy a gorgeous view of one's active ship in the hangar.
The main screen provides information about things happening in the EVE universe, including sovereignty changes, the Interstellar Correspondents News Feed, incursions and more - stay tuned.
The Captain's Quarters have tools that will make life for the capsuleer much easier, including the agent finder, corporation recruitment, planetary interaction, character re-customization and ship fitting.
A new camera system was built from the ground up to support avatar movement and various state transitions.
An extensive avatar movement scheme using Natural Motion's Morpheme has been developed to control your character. This includes an eight directional movement scheme accessible via keyboard controls, click-to-move and mouse movement.
Separate keyboard shortcuts for Captain's Quarters and flying-in–space, as well as a number of options for customizing the walking-in-station camera, have been added to the ESC menu.
Character Creation and New Player Experience
New characters now start out in the Captain´s Quarters rather than in space.
All players are required to customize their characters using the character customization tool. If you have not yet customized your character, you will be prompted to do so prior to entering the game.
Initial missions and tutorials have been re-designed significantly, both to encompass Incarna gameplay and to make the first few hours in the EVE universe more accessible and instructive.
Aura has returned! Tutorials include new Aura voice overs and images (in all supported languages) to help pilots get familiar with the basic of EVE gameplay and the EVE Online interface.
The main screen in one's Captain's Quarters provides relevant information for new and experienced players. You will be able to learn about on career agents, epic arcs, skill training and clones, all while sitting on your Internet space sofa.
Aura is now an agent, and will be in charge of the new player experience and early tutorials. The previous agents who gave players their first crash course missions have been...retired.
Various optimizations have been made to the categorization and presentation of tutorials, making it easier for you to find specific lessons.
Partially completed tutorials can be restarted by accessing the tutorials tab of the help menu (F12).
Many of the piercings now deform and stretch one's face more naturally.
The male body shape has been re-sculpted to look more natural. But not too natural...
New turrets
EVE's turret system has been completely redesigned. Turrets now have more intricate animations, and are animated in both the hangar and fitting window. You can now preview turrets with the "Show Info" window, even on turrets you don't have the skills to fit or operate.
The following turret types have been updated: energy weapons, hybrid weapons, projectile weapons, mining lasers (standard, strip, ice and deep core) and gas cloud harvesters.
Turrets can be previewed in 3-D by clicking on its icon.
Turret graphics represent the the onlined state of the turret.
Virtual store
Our new virtual store, the Noble Exchange is now accessible through the Station Services. Goods can be purchased from the Noble Exchange using the new currency called Aurum, and you can sell those goods again on the market for ISK. Please check out this dev blog from CCP Zulu for more information.
A fashionable collection of classic military clothing has been supplied to the marketplace for both male and female characters.
All goods purchased from the Noble Exchange will appear as an item in Items Hangar of your current station.
All purchased clothing items in your current hangar will appear in the Character Creator when you re-customize your character.
All clothing in the Noble Exchange can be previewed on a 3-D mannequin model via Show Info.
Players can now convert PLEX into Aurum via the Noble Exchange.
1 PLEX can be converted into 3500 Aurum at a fixed rate through the Noble Exchange interface. (Multiple PLEX can be converted at the same time).
Aurum transactions are logged in the wallet journal.
We are temporarily prohibiting the transfer of Aurum between characters. This is done for the sake of a slower, more secure implementation of the feature while the initial economic impact is being analyzed.
All clothing in the Noble Exchange can be previewed on a 3-D mannequin model via Show Info.
PVE
Six new generic missions have been added to bolster the mission selection of non-Empire factions.
CHANGES
Technical and Engineering
Dogma, the process that handles attributes on items and how they are modified, was massively re-engineered. This change shouldn’t affect players or change gameplay in any way but is the groundwork for features in following releases.
Inventory windows will not re-apply the user's preferred sorting method after executing a "Stack All" command
Graphics
Strip miners have an updated beam effect. It is still based on the old effect, only a lot cooler.
The following ships have a new thruster glow inside the "cone": Scorpion, Maller and Punisher.
The camera angle when undocking has been changed slightly. This makes the undocking process more visually pleasing.
SSAO is disabled on all video cards except NVIDIA cards.
ILR is disabled on Windows XP machines that use ATI GPU’s.
Depth effects on Macs with ATI cards are disabled.
Turret Graphics
Tractor beams and salvagers now have their own turret models.
Turret icons now correctly represent the look of the turret. Factional variance is also represented.
API
MarketOrders - orderID is now a 64-bit integer instead of 32-bit, and typeID is now a 32-bit integer instead of 16-bit.
WalletTransactions - transactionID is now a 64-bit integer instead of 32-bit. This applies to both char/ and corp/ pages, .csv and .xml.
MarketOrders should now only return a list of active and non-expired orders.
If you or your corporation produced more than a certain number of transactions between cache refreshes, the WalletTransactions page will only give you the oldest of those. On the other hand, the API will give you the latest number of transactions and you can page back to get the rest of them.
Error Throttling – the API will start to throttle third-party applications that generate a high number of preventable errors in a short period of time. This means better quality of service for everyone using the API.
Scanning
It is no longer possible to set up a ship to be impervious to scanning while uncloaked.
All probes can now contribute to a scan result, as opposed to the previous limit of four.
Localization
Several changes have been made for the sake of consistency and style throughout the game.
Corporations and recruitment
The corporation recruitment has been redesigned, making searching for corporations easier and more fun.
Searches are now universal rather than by region.
Corporation searches are now universal rather than by region as before.
The corporation ad duration has been extended.
We recommend editing existing ads to make use of the new options. Existing ads still show up in searches, but will rank very low and thus won't draw as much attention from would-be recruits.
PVE
The number of jamming NPCs in over 75 Caldari and Gurista sites has been re-balanced. Please warp into danger to find out more.
Over 100 deadspace and mission sites have been fixed so now they don't complete unless the required item has been successfully removed.
Scenery randomization triggers in 50 exploration sites have been fixed so they don't go off more than once in cases where multiple players enter the site.
Four mining missions were previously available to some pirate factions. They are now available to all factions of flexible morals. They are: “Oh, the Augumene!,” “Mercium Belt,” “I Don't Ask,” and “Like Drones to a Cloud.”
Classic DED complex messages have been updated.
Core Infrastructure
The full offline installer will now be presented in the form of three files. Two 2 GB payloads (7 zip archives), and the installer executable file. This is because the total client payload has exceeded 4 GB, which is the limit for self extracting archives for Windows installs.
FIXES
Stability
Client start up mechanics have been improved to heavily reduce black screening issues.
Need for speed
Grouped-weapons have been optimized to further increase their performance gain compared to ungrouped weapons.
Improved the way that the names of channel participants are retrieved. Previously it was causing increased wait times under heavy load which affected cross-node session changes.

The Abaddon battleship had off center turrent locators. This has been fixed in the new turret system.
Modules
Fixed exception that was generated when a player unfits a module in the fitting window when the reprocessing window is also open.
An issue that occurred when modules that were being repaired with nanite paste could get stuck in a repair cycle has been fixed.
Drones
Mining drones now return to the drone bay, if that option is selected, after completing their cycle. Previously they would return to the ship but remain outside in an idle state.

Drones now take area-of-effect damage from mission entities.
Drones will now attack upgrade platforms for outposts when instructed to do so.

Fixed a defect preventing users from manufacturing a blueprint selected through the Science & Industry window.
Starbases, Outposts and Stations
Outpost owners are now correctly notified about who is attacking their outpost.
An issue with Ship Maintenance Arrays which resulted in your ship left floating in space has been fixed.
Onlined structures at maximum control range will now stay online at server startup.
Fixed an exception that was generated when the user attempted to shoot their own control tower with a heavy missile battery. In line with the other weapons batteries the user can now target and shoot their own control tower.
It is again possible to move partial stacks of ammunition out of starbase batteries.
