Drifters

Following the appearance of the Circadian Seekers in New Eden, a new ominous threat now glides through the darkness. Whatever their intentions and motives are, Capsuleers will no doubt play an integral part of their plan. Extreme caution is advised if contact is made.

 

SVIPUL: THE LATEST TECH 3 DESTROYER

A new tactical destroyer has taken flight, this time from shipyards of the Minmatar Republic. Specializing in small projectile weaponry makes it deadly. It's ability to physically morph into Defensive, Propulsion and Sharpshooter modes on-the-fly make it a game changer.

Turn the tides of battle and shift the fates in your favor with the morphing Minmatar Svipul.

CORPORATION TOOLS

Intra-Corporation Combat

Corporations can now decide if they want CONCORD to respond to "friendly fire" attacks between corporation members in empire space. Corporate recruiters can choose to manage the risks they take when accepting new members, and players can now clearly see whether a corporation allows legal friendly fire during the corp search and application process. It's now easier than ever before to find new friends to enjoy EVE with!

Management Tools and Improvements

Keeping your corporation's ranks informed, happy and growing is a big part of building a galactic empire. Tiamat improves on several common management tasks, making life just that much easier for your recruiters and leaders.
- Up the limit mailing list members from 3000 to 5000
- Added filter to the member list
- The Edit Corp Details window can now be resized

Projectile weapon balancing

Following on the heels of the energy weapon rebalancing, Tiamat takes on projectile weapons, focusing on improving quality and diversity of both weapons and ammunition. Adjustments to small artillery and autocannons are on the way, with more info in CCP Fozzie's dev blog.

Expanded audio effects for some turrets provide an "aftershock" sound to further reinforce the beating you're giving your enemy.
