#Eve online jump clones Patch

I discussed all the key headlines in last week’s report but Fozzie confirmed some additional important information about Thera in his blog: Thera and the Shattered WormholesĪll the important information about Thera has been released in a dev blog from CCP Fozzie a few days back. I’ll be sifting through all the comments and questions and collating the best of them to take with me to Iceland. If you have something you want brought up at the Winter Summit, now is the time to start sending me an email. The thought of Reykjavik in mid-January fills me with excitement/trepidation but it’s going to be fascinating to compare the experience of videoing into a Summit as opposed to physically being there. I was given permission by Leeloo to confirm that I will be in attendance in the Winter Summit and we already know from the Summer Summit Minutes that it will be some point in January. Winter SummitĬSM9 has been told who will be attending the Winter Summit and the exact dates but that information isn’t allowed to be shared yet. Possibly this change only really helps out younger players (or low skillpoint alts) that do not have the skills or willpower to grind +8.0 standing and may not yet have access to taxiceptors, covert ops, or other advanced transport or jump clone storage mechanics.CSM9 Report: Week Twenty Eight Xander Phoena on Share TweetĪnother week, another report and there’s plenty out there to discuss.

I will JC then suddenly need to be somewhere else. I just pod or use a taxiceptor.” said Arianna Melauex of Merch Industrial when discussing the recent jump clone change. However, all of these cases are just made easier by the change and were obtainable before.ĭoes this change really make that much of an impact though for seasoned players? “I don’t do much JC’ing. Similarly, small gang deployments for farming kill reports in hostile space allows players to easily maintain several home bases by jump clone installation for ‘adaptive content generation.’ Fortuitous high sec ganking alts will feel a significant buff now being able to maintain a swathe of jump clone locations with ease. Given that strategic repositioning could alter a multitude of EVE content scenarios, being able to easily place jump clones and relocate instantly (albeit with a cooldown) has the potential to alter the future of EVE as a whole.įor example, participants of sovereignty warfare can now keep ships deployed in a variety of NPC-owned stations to synchronize relocations. However, jump clones allow for a rapid form of transportation and allow for capsuleers to strategically reposition around the galaxy. Likewise, the total number of jump clones allotted to each capsuleer is also skill-dependent. To swich between jump clones requires a significant skill-dependent wait time before reuse.

Since the change was not clarified in the patch notes it was assumed by some that this change would not be permanent, and would be rolled back in a hotfix, maybe? However, earlier this week CCP Falcon clarified the stance on this change, indicating that it would be permanent. In essence, this game change removes a barrier to entry and limits required completion of NPC missions, and therefore ‘grind’, to do so. Additionally, the mechanic was bypassed using freeported 0.0 stations, rorquals, and estel aradors’ corp services, although these mechanics are not necessarily available to every player.

Re-installing the jump clone took time since it required you to wait for the cooldown and for you to jump to a different available clone. Although, if the player jumped back to that jump clone they wouldn’t easily be able to make a new one in the area. This ‘stealth-change’ to EVE by CCP comes alongside another stealth game change making anchoring towers not notify system sovereignty holders.īefore this change, one could ‘create’ a jump clone in any NPC station (without standings) by jumping to another jump clone they already had while docked at the NPC station.

As of July 14, players can now install jump clones in any NPC owned station without appropriate standings given they are docked in the corresponding station as before. Previously, only raising your standings with a NPC corporation to +8.0 would grant access to jump clone installation facilities at that corporation’s stations. With the July Aegis Sovereignty release, an unexpected change was made to the way jump clones are installed in NPC owned stations.
