EVE Online Speedlinking for September 26th, 2008

The biggest news item of this last week was of course the System Player Cap put in place during the Empyrean Age patch 1.1 , then nerfed to simply cover Jita, with the added "detour patch". Check out Winterblink's comic on the very issue. Love his stuff!
In the end though, it's just a band-aid solution to a pressing problem, which CCP is well aware of, and trying to find a "working fix", not just something temporary.
