The patch notes for EVE Online: Dominion has just been released and there are a lot of new things in store for you avid players. But first, we have information on the deployment of Dominion this coming Tuesday, December 1, 2009.
Expect a downtime to happen at 02:00 GMT/ UTC, and is expected to run until 21:00 GMT/ UTC – that’s 9PM for those not familiar with military time. While the deployment is happening, Tranquility will reportedly be offline, but updates will be regularly made by the staff.
Now, on to the patch notes. According to the list, it looks like you guys will be introduced to a new sovereignty system, as well as new player experience and tutorials. More new stuff include new epic arcs, EVE-mail features, fleet finder, graphics overhaul with new planets, and changes to capital ships, among many others.
Here’s a bit of sampling from the patch notes. Don’t think it all ends there, though. I said there’d be more, and that’s definitely what you’ll get. More of the patch notes via the source link below.
