The EVE Online site has been updated with the news that Skill Injectors are getting a new, smaller version in addition to the current one. The smaller Skill Injector will weigh in about 1/5th the size of the already-existing one and will, of course, come at a lower cost, perfect for newer and beginning players.
At the current time, Skill Injectors cost about 650M ISK, a cost prohibitive to new players. By adding the smaller injector, more players early in their time within EVE will have an opportunity to make use of them.
- Renaming of the current Skill Injector to ‘Large Skill Injector’
- Introduction of a new injector called ‘Small Skill Injector’
- Adding right-click option to break Large Injectors into 5x Small injectors or combine 5x Small Injectors into 1x Large Injector
- Using a Small Skill Injector will award a maximum of 100,000 skill points and will give the following amounts, depending on total SP on the character using the Injector:
- For characters with less than 5mil SP: 100k SP
- For characters with 5mil – 50mil SP: 80k SP
- For characters with 50mil – 80mil SP: 60k SP
- For characters with more than 80mil SP: 30k SP

In other EVE news, color-blindness support is coming to the game!
[A]round 7.999% of EVE players are color blind, which is a considerable chunk. I am not one of those 7.999%, so it was particularly interesting, yet challenging, to work on this feature, mostly because I was at no point capable of estimating if I was finding any success. I guess that gave me a tiny taste of how it must feel to be colorblind.
