Skills:

War Declarations:

The next stage of the War Declarations revamp has been released, including the introduction of War Headquarters structures, War cost simplification, improved mutual wars, and war UI improvements.

More information about these changes and where they fit into the wider design for war declarations in EVE can be found in this dev blog.

War Headquarters: In order to declare an aggressive war, the attacking side must now designate a specific Upwell Structure that they own somewhere in highsec space as the "War Headquarters" for that war. If the War Headquarters structure is destroyed, removed from space, or removed from the control of the attacking organization for any reason the war will enter its 24 hour cooldown and then end. If a war ends due to the removal of the War HQ, the former attacking organization will be unable to declare new wars against the former defending organization for two weeks. The identity of the War HQ structure is included in war notifications for the defender, as well as being visible to all interested parties through the war report window. Wars that are active during the Invasion expansion downtime will continue without needing a headquarters structure during a transition period that is scheduled to end at downtime on July 25th. If a war is active without a War HQ at the end of the transition period it will enter its 24 hour cooldown at that point and end the next day.

War Cost Simplification: The cost of aggressive war bills has been set at a flat fee of 100 million isk per week.

Mutual Wars: Mutual wars have been revamped to improve quality of life for participating organizations Aggressive wars can no longer be converted into mutual wars. Instead, mutual wars may be started through an invite/acceptance process. Mutual wars may now be started without any isk cost or structure requirements Either side of a mutual war may now decide to end the war at will, triggering the standard 24 hour cooldown before shooting stops

Corporations that are allies of the defending side in an ongoing war can no longer join an alliance until the war ends or their ally contract finishes, unless the alliance they are attempting to join is also the only defender they are allied with.

User Interface:

Added the Board My Corvette button; Corvettes will no longer be made available automatically on docking in a pod, instead the player can choose to be placed inside a corvette using this button. If the character does not currently have a corvette then they will be provided one and then boarded into it. If a corvette is already in the ship hangar the character will board it and the standard modules fitted will be repaired.

The styling for the Undock, View Outside and Take Control buttons have been updated.

Updated Redeem Queue Notifications so that they now appear in the Neocom and not in the notification widget.

Hangars are now visible below the station services by default.

Remodeled the Agency! New cleaner and more functional UI, using the Progressive Disclosure approach to funnel the user to their desired content. Bookmarking pages is now possible, allowing you to skip the funnel and get straight to your most used pages. Agent Finder is back! Filters are now more visible and easy to use. Filters will now remember their last settings for each page. Reset all filters button is available. Search for specific planet types in the Planetary Production Agency page to establish your colony on, and if they are within range of your Remote Sensing skill, see their available resources without opening the PP window of each planet. The amount of Anomalies and Signatures in a K-Space system is now visible from anywhere. Combat Anomalies, Ore Anomalies, and Ice Belts show the exact type of site from within 1 jump away. At 2 jumps or further, only the existence of the site is shown. Storyline Missions and Escalations will guide the player to their respective pages by displaying the NEW! label. Contested level of Factional Warfare system and available FW complexes are now visible from anywhere in EVE. Incursion locations and incursions types (Scout/Vanguard/Assault/HQ) now shown in the Agency. Amount of accumulated CONCORD LP from completing Incursion sites is now shown in the Agency. Sites shown in the Agency now have the same contextual menu when right clicked as they do when right clicked in space, so you can now fleet warp to a site for example. Tooltips explaining the various features of EVE are present throughout the Agency to teach players about the mechanics of each. Triglavian Invasions are available through the Agency.

In-client CSAT (Customer Satisfaction Survey) in system menu

The new Help Pointer feature has been added and is available in the Utilities folder of the Neocom. This feature allows players to share links to different UI elements that will highlight that UI element with a label and arrow when clicked. It is expected to be especially valuable for veteran player mentoring their new friends. More information about the Help Pointer feature can be found in this dev blog.

War UI Improvements: New “War Info” tab in the Wars tab of the corporation window, which explains the war declaration system and shows you the war status of your corporation at a glance The "Kill Reports" tab for a corporation has been moved from the "Wars" tab to the "Home" tab of the corporation window. New “War History” tab in the corporation window under the Wars tab, which displays previous wars and currently enforced peace periods due to surrenders and War HQ removal. New “Mutual War Invites” tab in the corporation window under the Wars tab, visible to corporation directors and CEO which show all the current incoming or outgoing mutual war invites. Here directors and CEOs can also find a toggle to block incoming mutual war invites if they wish Improved the war history section in the show info window for corporations and alliances Updated and improved the war report, including information about the identity of the War HQ Added a “Wars” tab to the show info window of Upwell structures if they are a War HQ Added an icon + tooltip to structure entries in the structure browser if they are a War HQ Added an icon to the character selection screen that clearly displays when your characters are involved in an active war Added an icon to the top section of the character sheet that clearly displays when your characters are involved in an active war Added an icon to the crimewatch timers section at the top left of the screen that clearly displays when your characters are involved in an active war Added suppressible warning popup when undocking in High Sec while involved in an active war. Updated and added numerous war related notifications and warnings.
