For the first time ever, EVE Online players will have the opportunity to walk around their ships with the release of the Capatain's Quarters onto the Duality test server this weekend. Acknowledging that the Captain's Quarters aren't in the final stage of development, devs felt it important to let players check it out in preparation for the first iteration of Incarna.

• Minmatar Captains Quarters, new tutorials, and new crash-course on Duality beginning on  Thursday, April 21,  in the Emrayur system
• This build is not fully stable or complete, you have been warned!
• Captain's Quarters are "work-in-progress", but contains interfaces for:
  • Planetary Interaction
  • Corporation management/recruitment
  • Character re-customization
  • Ship fitting

New things, coming soon to a test-server near you

So when, and where can you check this out for yourself? We will be putting all the new goodness, in all of its "work in progress" glory up onto Duality from Thursday, April 21 through Monday, April 25. The new Captain's Quarters currently replaces the old hangar/station environment, so you will find yourself there instead, upon docking. Currently you will only see the Minmatar version of the basic Captain's Quarters, but we will eventually have a spankin' new basic Captain's Quarters for each race before we're done. In addition to the new digs, you will also encounter our new crash-course designed to help teach new players the basics of EVE Online in a more intuitive and user-friendly way than what you would currently find on Tranquility.
