A little over a week after the launch of EVE Online's Shadow War event, I gave an update on how each faction was progressing with their turn-ins. After 9 days, the Amarr, Caldari, and Minmatar were 4-5% of the way towards completing either Transport Relay Development (Amarr and Minmatar) or Stellar Transmuter Development (Caldari). The Gallente, starting from behind, only had progressed 5.8% through Stellar Transmuter Development and 1.9% through Transport Relay Development.

The Amarr are making the slowest progress with Transport Relay Development only 26.5% completed. Fortunately for them, their bitter enemies the Minmatar are not doing much better development at 31.8% completed.
The other pair of empires are making much more progress. The Gallente are still far behind, but have progressed Stellar Transmuter Development to 52.8% complete while almost catching up to the Amarr and Minmatar in Transport Relay Development with 22.4% complete. The Caldari are in the clear lead with Stellar Transmuter Development at 79.9%.
At the rate the Caldari are progressing, the faction will unlock Interstellar Shipcaster Construction during the week of 30 April to 6 May. That Saturday is the 20th anniversary of the launch of EVE Online.
I don't know how others feel, but I really hope that the slow progress players are making in the event will not delay the launch of the next expansion. I suspect shipcasting technology will play a major role in the upcoming, as yet unnamed expansion for EVE. The question now is, will the developers step in to make the process go faster, or let events take their natural course?
