"The Federation is the standard, indeed the only example, of equality, justice, freedom and sanity in today's universe.While the rest of the Empires seek to expand in willful acts of destruction,the Federation seeks to protect its people and its borders from thedeprivations of the Caldari who have shown unprovoked aggression against us. We attempted to be civilized, to talk, to travel the road of peace, but they refused.
The Federation has awoken to the threat, and now its strength shall be tried. We wanted peace, and now we are faced withwar. We are the Federation. We shall not stumble, we shall not falter. We shall stand victorious on the field of battle, a testament to the values of liberty and justice.
The people of the Federation need you. With your strength and your conviction we shall endure."

EVE has a deadly cobra strike force team alpha of extremely dedicated and proficient developers fighting the Lagmonster tooth and nail as their only mission. Through their work and the work of others, there's now, at this moment, a perfect storm within the company and we have a great number of fixes in the pipes that will knock your socks off.
Our hope is that very soon our beloved Tranquility will be able to support fleet fights of a scale that far exceeds anything you've seen before, hopefully going beyond the roof of roughly one thousand on a dedicated...
From the lookout post of the impregnable CCP stronghold high in the Equus Mortuus mountains, we can see the world turning beneath us. As the universe slowly cools and we turn into ever older geezers, so also do the tools of our trade evolve.
As you may know, EVE has at its core the programming language known as Stackless Python. When development of EVE was started, all we had to go by was a pocket watch, a piece of twisted wire, Stackless Python 1.5 and an LP with a band called Randver. Stackless Python, back then, was centered around the...
As we're all too painfully aware, when a few hundred pod pilots get together and exchange ammunition, the dreaded "lag monster" often comes around. There are a number of distinct phenomena that are referred to as lag. It is important to distinguish between them, as they typically have different causes/solutions (even if the symptoms seem the same, like "my guns didn't work"). This blog is about the type called "module lag," in which modules start to respond very poorly - sometimes for minutes late. Specifically, this blog is about the bug that causes this for repeats/deactivations, and why it's not...
I like planning. I really do. I think calendars are pretty sexy and my OCD acts up when things aren’t color coded, have point values or do barrel rolls. This summer, I planned to sneak a few smaller items onto my teams backlog and positively surprise the Council of Stellar Management (CSM) when they got here. I ended up going to all these CSM summits, talking about features new and old, but never actually got to tell the CSM about some of the small things we had lined up. My plan didn’t work out, but the job got done, which...
Over the last few days you will have seen the blogs coming out from the boffins in our engineering teams about Mass Testing, Long Lag and Thin Clients. In some of these blogs you will have seen reference to ‘Core' teams and so I wanted to take this chance to introduce the Core Technology Group (CTG), let you know what it is we do and where we sit within the CCP development structure.
At the end of June, our CEO Hilmar Veigar Petursson referred to CCP's Core Technology Platform at his opening keynote of China GDC....
