Patch notes for Crucible 1.5

Patch notes for EVE Online: Crucible 1.5 to Crucible 1.5.4

The newest patch notes are located at the bottom of the page.

To be released Tuesday, March 13, 2012.

Important Note: The new EVE launcher will install before Crucible 1.5 is launched. Once you boot up the new installer, EVE Online: Crucible 1.5 will be installed automatically.

Features

Technical

  • We’re replacing the current patching mechanic and replacing it with a Launcher. Players will be asked to download a small patch after downtime on Tuesday which will contain the Launcher. Once this has been completed, the EVE Launcher will start, which will automatically patch your client to the correct version. Full details are available in this blog.

Ships

  • We have revamped the rookie ships which are the first ships new players see in the game. You can read, and see, all the changes to the Ibis, Impairor, Reaper and Velator in this blog.

Exploration and Deadspace

  • The following 2/10 deadspace sites have been added:
  • Blood Raider Human Farm
  • Serpentis Live Cargo Distribution Facilities
  • Sansha Acclimatization Facility

Changes

NPC's

  • Changed how NPCs are spawned in EVE. You will no longer get the same type of NPCs in the same spawn.

Character Creator and New Player Experience

  • In Character Creation and Re-Customization, the four portrait snap shots now retain all the background, pose and lighting settings of the portrait. This will allow you to quickly switch between them without changing settings, either by clicking on them or using the F1 - F4 keys.
  • The idle animations of your avatar will now pause when you are making sculpting changes.
  • The Tucking and Browsing buttons in Character Creation and Re-Customization have been moved to the side panel.

Player Owned Structures, Outposts and Stations

  • Control towers in wormhole space no longer reveal distance in the Control Tower Management window.
  • If a Control Tower was configured with exactly 0.0 for "Attack if security status lower than", then it would ignore this setting altogether. This has now been fixed.

Modules

  • Weapon turrets now have consistent masses.
  • The Group containing Afterburners and Microwarpdrives has been renamed from "Afterburner" to "Propulsion Module", so that we no longer have Microwarpdrives in a group called "Afterburner".
  • All Kinetic missiles now have the name ‘Scourge’ back.
  • All scripts now carry the suffix ‘Script’ after their name. This affects Focused Warp Disruption, Optimal Range Disruption, Tracking Speed Disruption, Scan Resolution, Targeting Range, Optimal Range and Tracking Speed.
  • Shield hardeners, Shield resistance amplifiers, Armor hardeners, Energized plating and Resistance plating will all have their damage type inserted into their names.
  • Three classes of missile launcher have been renamed to better indicate the type of missile they fit. Assault Missile Launchers are now Rapid Light Missile Launchers, Standard Launchers are now Light Missile Launchers and Siege Launchers have become Torpedo Launchers.
  • All skill hardwirings in the game have had their names changed to conform to a particular scheme, where the name of the implant's affected skill is followed by a numerical appellation that indicates first the implant's slot and second the implant's percentage bonus.

Market & Contracts

  • "Missiles" market group is now called "Missile Launcher Operation".
  • Market Buy orders will now appear in yellow text if the location of the item is included in your current destination route.

  • You can SHIFT+drag blueprints onto the Market quickbar (or hold down shift when picking "add to quickbar" from the menu), you add a folder to the quickbar. In that folder are all the materials needed for the activity you pick (and the blueprint itself. (Non-market items appear greyed out)
  • Non-market items can now be added to the market quickbar but they are greyed out.
  • You can now sort market orders by Region on the Orders tab.

Graphics

  • All ORE ships now have the correct factional engine trails.
  • Ships will now inherit the correct engine trail color from their race type.

  • Overview: New entries for the overview are now added immediately and do not have to wait for the next regular refresh.
  • "Cut" (ctrl+x) can be used now in contract and market order dialogs.
  • Users can now drag groups from the E menu (Accessories, Business and Social) onto the Neocom even when items within those groups are already on the Neocom. Items already on the Neocom will not be present in the groups when dragged from the E menu. Users can add or remove to the group folder as with any other folder.
  • Added percentage tooltips for Armor/Shield/Structure bars on targeted ships.
  • The Neocom will now reset to its default width in addition to its default button configuration when using the "Reset Buttons" option found when right clicking on the Neocom. This option is also available to players in the ESC menu under "Reset Settings".
  • Double clicking icons on the Neocom will now only open or close the window rather than open and close the window as the Neocom recognizes double clicks in addition to single clicks.

  • The correct fleet icon will now be used regardless of how the window is opened.

  • The Compare window has now been added to the shortcut options in the Escape menu.

Drones

  • Fighter drones now get a little closer to their targets before switching off their MWD. This should result in fewer cases of fighters "stopping short".

Sound

  • The salvager module sound has been restored.

Modules

  • All Tech 2 blueprints will no longer have market entries. Any blueprint that's ever been used for manufacturing or research cannot be listed on the market, which is assumed to apply to all T2 BPOs, and having a market entry for them is causing showinfo to have a "view market details" button rather than "find in contracts".
  • Cloaking devices will consistently describe their effect on a ship's maximum velocity.
  • The Dual Modal Giga Pulse Laser I has now only one overheat bonus just as it was intended and is now in line with the other lasers of the group. Can still not be fitted on live sharks.

User Interface

  • UI Scaling: The position and direction of the ship in the map-browser and tactical overlay has been fixed.
  • Some minor typos have been corrected in the downtime message.
  • Notification messages will now correctly offset with the camera when the option has been enabled in the ESC menu.

  • An issue with the Assets window becoming nonfunctional has been fixed.
  • Shortcuts to the Ship Hangar and Captain's Quarters no longer function in space.
  • Fixed an issue where dragging the Character Sheet directly from the E menu into a group would disallow the user from removing that icon again without resetting the Neocom.
  • Underscores are now visible in single line text boxes when using UI scaling.
  • You can now drag icons between groups and nested groups on the Neocom.

CRITICAL

Jump Bridges

  • It is now only possible for one jump bridge to be online in a system at any given time.

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.

Character Creation

Turret Graphics
