Eve Online....

With the patch to change the celestial sights done today I took my 'main alt' back out to see the post patch Black Monolith(Dead End System) and New Eden wormhole(New Eden System). 


Since the patch deployment/server maintenance was longer than the usual daily downtime, logging in after was a perfect time to take the trip back. I logged back about 10 minutes after the servers came back up.

Same alt, same ship and with the timing a lot less players in the systems.



Anthem on the way in was clear, no players at all.

Djimame likewise had no players to be seen.

Angur had one player but nothing on Dscan(ship wise).

Access had two players but again nothing on Dscan.

Exit had no players in system

Gateway had no players in system

Central Point had no players in system

Dead End had no players in system

My post downtime timing seemed to prove perfect timing. I warped to the Monolith in the system but it looked the same....



Again, a few more screenshots taken before moving on... Dead End remained clear so I jumped on to Central Point

Central Point still had no players in system

Promised Land had no players in system

New Eden had no players in system either

The wormhole wasn't as impressive to see post patch. Maybe the first time seeing it was always going to be the best. There was that special first time seeing it spark missing for sure but the aura 'felt' fuller with softer light and motion before. Neither is 'bad', both are different.

Before...


After...


The old version 'looks' further away, the new version 'seems' closer and more powerful....


It did seem to do an emit, pulse and retract animation to it's aura which was interesting. I'd not noticed it before so no idea if it's a new 'thing'(I presume it is).

This time round there were no Drifter npc's, nor the wormhole they were 'working on'.
This time round there was more player space 'I was here' junk. Really annoying getting decloaked by trash.

I took a look at the other 'celestials' in system. 

The wrecked Jove observatory....


And the stations.....



So after that minor sightseeing and a still clear system I bailed on out. 

The trip out was even more uneventful than the trip in, so not really worth mentioning.
