Hello pilots
A mandatory patch will be released today for EVE: Valkyrie. It contains many bug and stability fixes, AI improvements, and balance changes to various ships and weapons.
We are paying close attention to the forums and the valuable feedback you are all providing. There are some issues which can be addressed quickly, but others will require more dev time to implement and test properly before they can be released.
While we do not have time to comment on every thread, please be assured that all your feedback is being closely monitored. Your contributions are helping us to create and shape the future of Valkyrie, and to make it the best possible experience for everyone that straps on a headset and launches into our virtual world.
Stay tuned for more updates!
Thanks & Fly Deadly ;)
