The news today is kind of quiet and I didn't do anything interesting in any of the video games I played. Fortunately for me, enough little things occurred (plus a holiday) to fill out a blog post. So without any further ado, here's a brief update on the Tranquility Trade Tower, the Gallente militia, and the Microsoft Excel plug-in for EVE Online.
I spent some time on Saturday watching the INN Twitch feed of the Imperium's structure batch of the TTT's armor timer in Perimeter. War dec mechanics are hard and the Imperium succeeded in demolishing the second of the three Keepstar timers. The hull timer becomes vulnerable on Thursday night in the North American time zone (early morning in the EU). I might watch a little of the fight on Twitch. For a lot more detail from one of the participants, Wilhelm published another post on this weekend's events.
In factional warfare news, the Gallente have finished building their shipcaster. When I posted Friday, the Gallente were only 0.7% away from completing their research. CCP patched in the final stage of the effort at downtime and as of 1600 EVE time the Frontlines display showed the construction effort at 100%. With the last shipcaster complete, I wonder if the Shadow War name is retired.
Finally players will get to play with the new EVE Online plug-in for Microsoft Excel starting 20 June 2023. That's tomorrow for those not reading this post too far in the future. The plug-in is free and available from the Microsoft store, unless you are reading the post the day it was published.
Accessing in-game data effortlessly and seamlessly integrating with Excel, this powerful add-in empowers decision-making and ensures accessibility for everyone, without requiring any programming knowledge. Import your in-game data across all accounts and characters as well as your corporation data directly into Excel using the EVE API. Once your data is imported, unlock Excel's full potential with robust analysis and visualization tools. Create custom reports, graphs, and charts to gain deep insights into your in-game activities, track your progress, and strategize your next steps. Gain insights into asset location, item value, market orders, item prices, wallet transactions, skills, and corporation finances (with required roles), enabling informed decision-making.
I'm not sure if players can access the market API. But I imagine the Excel plug-in will come in handy when trying to keep track of the new corporation opportunities.
Hopefully I'll have something meatier to write about for tomorrow. But this should help keep up with events in EVE a little bit.
