Reminder! – Extended Downtime For March Release – 2016/03/08

We would like to give a reminder that tomorrow's daily downtime will be extended while we deploy the March release to EVE Online. 

Downtime will begin at the regular time of 11:00 UTC, and will run for a total of 90 minutes. We expect that the Tranquility cluster will be back online and accepting connections at 12:30 UTC once the deployment is complete.

This release brings a whole host of changes to New Eden, including increased Drifter activity in Drifter wormhole systems, along with new boosters, more module tiericide and tweaks to ECM and ECCM, changes to the watch list system, the introduction of Project Discovery, user interface and camera improvements, new skills in preparation for the release of Citadels and new Stasis Grappler modules.

You can read the full patch notes here, and for more information on specific changes to modules and the addition of the new Stasis Grapplers, you can take a look at the following forum threads, which detail balance changes being made to over 200 modules with the March release:
