In the coming months, CCP will be delivering multiple highly anticipated updates to EVE Online. Balance passes to various ships and modules will keep the PvP meta fresh and ensure that combat choices and tactical decisions continue to matter just as much as ships and fitting selections. A brand-new 64-client will be added, ensuring EVE Online remains in-line with capsuleers' operating systems and modern hardware standards. In addition, pilots will benefit from an overhaul of The Agency that will put more clear and concise information at their fingertips, allowing easier access to a wide range of content in New Eden.
