EVE Online’s space police get iPod makeover, patch coming June 13

Coming June 13th to a New Eden near you is an early summer patch for EVE Online. The space MMO is getting several ship skin redesigns, kicking off a rogue swarm event, adding support for colorblind players, and improving the client performance.

Players will soon find that the in-game AI space police, CONCORD, is getting a spiffy visual overhaul. “The new direction we wanted for CONCORD was smooth and sleek, kind of like iPod and Apple product casing,” the team said of the redesigned ships.

And if you like the intrigue and drama for which EVE Online is well-known, give this BBC interview a listen to hear about “ship rustlers” who plan elaborate crimes to stick it to their fellow players.
