Dominion 1.1 patch notes review

Posted on 2010-01-20 by Ecliptic Rift

'Mission Patches' by jurvetsonSo CCP have released the patch notes for Dominion 1.1. Thought I’d muse on a few that caught my eye, which don’t include capital ships simply because they don’t (currently) affect me in any meaningful way. My comments in double parentheses.

Voice fonts have now been added to EVE Voice. This new feature will allow you to alter your voice during chat to increase or lower pitch or to change from male to female voices. This is certainly not going to be abused in any way. ((RAWR!))

The Laboratory Operation Skill can no longer be trained by characters on trial accounts. ((Too bad, but I do get why they needed to do this.))

Deadspace areas now correctly spawn in the same solar system for the mission “Portal to War.” ((That always confused me. Tiny change but a welcome one.))

New wallet API functions have been added. ((Anybody know what that’s about?))

Heavy ships will now properly align themselves towards their warp destination so no more warping sideways or backwards. ((I think they explained this in a slightly confusing way but I’ll wait to see it on TQ before I comment further.))

Extra URL validation has been added to the in-game browser when adding sites to the Trusted/Ignored list. ((Good, but they might have waited to include this note until after deployment.))

CCP Tuxford can no longer shut down TQ on a whim. ((CCP sounds like a great bunch of folks who have fun working together, heh.))

    I can just hear a typical late evening in the office where CCP Tuxford works:

    “Hey what happened to Tux? Anybody seen Tux?”
    “He went to get another slice of pizza”

    Loud noise in server room is heard, a slight cough.

    “Oh NOOO! He’s shutting down TQ again. Who gave him the Peperoni & Tomato slice!! Emergency emergency”

    There is a rush to server room, door is lock. Tux can be seen through window with a slice of pizza in hand and a coke he’s slurping in on other. He’s staring at a small monitor in front of him that is showing a countdown.

    CCP devs outside of room start yelling but Tux doesn’t seem to hear.

    “Where the keys – get the keys? Tux – let us in! Let us in! You can have the Peperoni and mushroom OK. Just don’t shut down TQ. Pleeezzzze. Pleeeze. 50 thousand players are asking you not to end their
    universe! Don’t do itt!! TUUXXXX!! TUXXX!”
