CCP Announces newest release: 119.1 due on January 10th

Today CCP released the patch notes and expected date for the first update to Eve Online for 2017. The update, expected to be delivered at downtime on January 10th will contain multiple fixes to some existing bugs and tweak existing mechanics that have not performed as well as liked.

Significant changes:

• Multiple tweaks and changes to the “Ghost-fitting” window including properly calculating drones, velocity, and rig calculations to name a few.
• Changes to anchoring personal deployables on grid with citadels.
• Standup Void Guided Bombs, Super Weapons, & Burst Weapons now respect Energy Warfare Resistances.

A full list of the patch notes has been posted below and is also available here.

Features & Changes

Audio:

• The release theme for YC 119.1 has been published: The Ones We Left Behind

Structures & Deployables:

• Citadels and Engineering Complexes can no longer be anchored within 1000km of a deployed Encounter Surveillance System.
• Personal Deployables now enforce the same anchoring range restrictions from Citadels and Engineering Complexes as they do from Stations and Stargates.

Defect Fixes

Audio:

• Added in a sound effect for when switching between the Captain’s Quarters and the Ship Hangar.

Fitting:

• Copying a structure fit to clipboard will now include the fitted service module.
• Fixed the alignment of the background for the mode buttons for tactical destroyers.
• Added the ability to import to corporate fittings when you have sufficient corp roles.
• Fixed an issue that caused the number of active drones to be incorrectly calculated when they are split into stacks.
• Simulation
  • It is now possible to simulate all 10 drones for a Guardian-Vexor.
  • The velocity of a simulated ship is now updated correctly, when the mass changes (for example due to adding Armor Plates) while having an active Microwarpdrive or Afterburner.
  • Removing a simulated module works now properly by dragging it onto the module list.
  • Training a skill will no longer cause simulated modules to suddenly go offline due to CPU or power restrictions.
  • Added support for fits for outdated or deleted ships, so that they can be removed.
  • Drones will no longer appear activatable if the maximum bandwidth has already been used.
  • Fixed an issue that caused drones added to the cargohold to also be added to the drone bay.
  • Fixed an issue that caused rigs in a ships cargohold to be simulated as if fitted.
  • Lose unsaved changes prompt no long appears after saving a fit.
  • Module reactivation delays are now taken into account when calculating capacitor stability
  • Offlining a smartbomb now correctly adjusts DPS
  • Rig calibration percentage now shows are red when above capacity
  • Right click unfit option now shows when in space.
  • Ship hologram now reverts to its default position when reopening simulation mode
  • When simulating a saved fitting, the simulator will no longer attempt to load charges from the cargohold of the fit (Saved fittings don’t retain info on loaded charges, so the simulator was making its best guess on which charges to load. This ended up being more confusing than intended so we’ve reverted this functionality).

Gameplay:

• Standup Void Guided Bombs are now effected by Energy Warfare Resistance.
• Super Weapons & Burst Projectors now respect Energy Warfare Resistance.
