Planetary Interaction

• The planets of EVE and their resources are now yours to use. There are a small number of exclusions, such as major hub systems, shattered planets, and sites of historical significance.
• Planetary Infrastructure can be built using Command Centers, Extractors, Processors, Storage Facilities and Spaceports. These are all connected using Links.
• Planetary commodities and products can be imported to and exported from a planet using the Customs office, connected to all spaceports built on a planet.
• See CCP Soundwave’s dev blog Impossible is our Middle Name for more information on Planetary Interaction.

EVE Gate

• EVE Gate is the web portal into the EVE universe and is designed to ease communication and organization for the EVE community.
• Send and receive EVE Mail, create, invite and accept events with the new Calendar system, manage your Contacts, browse through character, corp and alliance profiles and receive broadcast updates from your friends and corpmates.
• The standings system has been revamped so now you can use that in conjunction with the privacy settings to determine who will be able to view your full profile, contact list and broadcast messages, currently only pilots set to standing 5.1 and over will be able to see that information
• You can easily set your privacy in the profile settings in EVE Gate so nobody can view more information on your character than is displayed in the “Show Info” window in the game.
• See CCP Priya’s dev blog EVE Gate: For those moments when your boss isn’t looking for more information on EVE Gate.
