Download Eve Online: Incursion 1.0

The massively multiplayer online game Eve Online has the expansion at the beginning of this month Incursion 1.0† In the game you play a pilot of a spaceship that allows you to do whatever you want. A big difference between Eve Online and other mmogs is that all players play in one universe, which allows you to contact everyone, while in other mmogs, such as World of Warcraft, you can only contact players on the same server. To play in Eve Online you need a subscription required. You can also try the game for free for 14 days. For more information about the game, please refer to our forum and this one page. The changes are as usual in the patch notes to be read and the corresponding abbreviated announcement looks like this:

EVE Online: Incursion 1.0.0 Released

The November 30th release, Incursion 1.0.0, is first in a multi-part release for one of the most ambitious EVE expansions to date. It includes a long list of changes, many of which were prioritized and added with the help of the Council of Stellar Management, a representative group of EVE players elected by the playerbase to interact on their behalf with the CCP development team since 2008.

Changes in Incursion 1.0.0 span the breadth of EVE, from the addition of over 80 new storyline missions and the Noctis salvaging ship to rebalancing rockets and Tech 2 ammo. The update also includes improvements to EVE’s user interface (UI) based on player feedback, which should make the lives of all pilots a little easier, whether in a new frigate or contributing to the industrial might of their thousand-player alliance. A full list of changes is available in the patch notes.

CCP recently launched the Incursion feature site (www.eveonline.com/incursion), which will be updated frequently throughout the next two months with video interviews, art assets and more information about the expansion. It also features the Incursion trailer, which shows an amazing, in-engine glimpse at our avatar technology and the future of EVE in the character of Sansha Kuvakei, leader of Sansha’s Nation.

Incursion 1.0.1 will be available on December 14th and will couple the removal of learning skills with another holiday gift for EVE players.

Incursion 1.1 will be available mid-January and includes the stunningly realistic character creator based on CCP’s avatar technology, a precursor to next year’s “Incarna” release. The web-based social networking platform for EVE players, EVEGate, will see a large upgrade with integrated forums. The Planetary Interaction feature will also see significant improvements based on player input. The following week, a vengeance-fueled Sansha’s Nation will invade the EVE universe, causing chaos as pilots join together in twenty to forty person fleets to beat back the new “Revenant” supercarriers, their fierce fighter bombers and the fleets at their command. Victors against these “incursions” will reap tremendous rewards for their bravery.
