Touchdown Soon™

Sarmy and I got beta keys and Arkrahm's given the go-ahead for me to create an EXOP outfit in PS2 ASAP. I'll keep you guys updated.

If any of you are like me and run a non-steam version of the client through Steam in order to keep your overlay, you may notice that said overlay... no longer works, because Steam is derp when it comes to dealing with game launchers. There is, however, a workaround that I've figured out.

- In the EvE Launcher options, set it to close when EvE starts and to only start when a patch is required.

- Set your Steam shortcut to Exefile.exe within EvE's bin folder, NOT eve.exe which the launcher utilizes.

This may or may not make EvE spaz out for a split second but it should proceed to start and run normally regardless.

Sometimes roams are spontaneously formed and in the future, I'll try and remember to post an event within the group to let people here know. I've been using this announcement board for it but I think the event system is more appropriate.
