The developers of EVE Online have decided that a new patch will be released every month, bringing some changes. With Phoebe, for example, the way of traveling has changed. Players can also expect some changes with the upcoming update Rhea in December.
WASD instead of Mouse Click
One of the biggest changes announced in a Dev Blog is the upcoming keyboard control. Previously, you could control your ship by double-clicking in space or flying directly to specific targets. CCP states that they want to lower the learning curve for the space MMO and give beginners a fair chance. However, one could also argue that EVE Online aims to compete with its upcoming rival Star Citizen in dogfights.
Wormholes… Wormholes are everywhere
A new system called Thera will also be released with Rhea. In this system, there are stations and access to over 100 different wormholes. Players are already discussing in forums that CCP wants to revive PvP and create a sort of arena for casual pirates. But what exactly the EVE community will do with Thera, is always unpredictable.
Some Changes Are Being Made Here and There
The list of changes is long and includes further improvements to the interface, the elimination of Clone Grades, meaning no skill points will be lost upon death, and various graphical adjustments. Additionally, a new ship class is introduced: the T3 Destroyer. It will be exciting to see what surprises Rhea will bring, but it is already clear that EVE will change significantly due to the keyboard controls. The update is expected to arrive on December 9.
