Recent activity (July 2013 to July 2014)
Module code
Passive, active, weapons and mining equipment have had some work done.
NPC's can (and do) attack
Star maps
Bookmarks
Skill tree (Evil numbers)
More GM commands (spawning and killing NPCs)
Wrecks
Many additional changes.
Processing and manufacturing
Some of these fixes and additions have been on private contributors servers and tested. They will be added to the core server pending more testing and approval.

Everything below was made before 2013
SHORT TERM - 6 months
This plan is subject to change and seeks to look out to no longer than the next 6 months. These tasks ARE prioritized with 1. being worked on first and so forth.
Next Step Est. Time to Complete Description 1. 3 weeks AknorJaden's Secret Assignment.... SHHHHH! (it's secret) 1. 4-8 weeks Move the evemu source code Experimental branch to the Incursion v1.6 client 2. 4-8 weeks Re-design Module Manager originally written by Luck, design new abstract base classes for the different types of Modules and derive them to yield the 118 different module groups. Also, a "message" class, Module Action, will be designed that each Module class will populate with info that the Module Manager will use to do external actions such as apply overload damage to adjacent modules in the rack, modify ship attributes as a result of some action on this module, and apply damage/repair/attribute changes/energy transfer to a target ship by passing this object to the target ship's Module Manager. 2. 4-8 weeks MODULES PHASE 1: Research effects of active modules of all types and implement these effects along with their ship interaction and math equations to modify ship and target attributes in order to fully implement correct behavior of all active modules with a few exceptions:
- All Gang Assist modules
- Jump Drive modules
- Interdiction Sphere launchers
- Warp Disruption Field Generators
- Smart Bomb and launchers
- Doomsday devices (unless you warmongers really pull my leg hard)
- Scan probes and launchers
LONG TERM - 1 year or more
This plan is subject to change and seeks to look even further out to a year or more ahead. These tasks are NOT prioritized.
Est. Time to Complete Description 8 weeks FLEETS: Research fleet packets and implement formation of fleets and all operations used on fleets 8 weeks MODULES PHASE 2: Research advanced effects and destiny interaction for the advanced types of modules that weren't implemented in PHASE 1:
- All Gang Assist modules
- Jump Drive modules
- Interdiction Sphere launchers
- Warp Disruption Field Generators
- Smart Bomb and launchers
- Doomsday devices (unless you warmongers really pull my leg hard)
- Scan probes and launchers
2-4 weeks CORPORATIONS PHASE 1: Implement Corporations Registry, Role setting, and member joining 2-4 weeks CORPORATIONS PHASE 2: Implement Corporations standings, shares, voting, contracts, etc 2 weeks NPC SPAWN/AI PHASE 1: Roll any outstanding patches/work on NPC spawning/AI into Experimental branch and get basic NPC ship/fleet spawning working and NPC ship movement, targeting, combat, and loot drop working with some very basic embedded AI. 8-12 weeks NPC SPAWN/AI PHASE 2: Integrate some scripting language into the NPC AI system to allow custom AI scripted behavior to control NPC ships/fleets. Also, work on spawning more advanced 2-4 weeks MISSIONS/COMPLEXES PHASE 1: Develop way to capture mission sites' structures from EVE live and replicate and spawn them at will. 8-12 weeks MISSIONS PHASE 2: Capture mission profiles and feed them to mission manager to implement mission scripting. 2-4 weeks COMPLEXES PHASE 2: Create a spawn manager for Complexes connected to Cosmic Anomalies and Cosmic Signatures and drive their spawn behavior on System Security Level 4-8 weeks COMPLEXES PHASE 3: Advance spawning of Cosmic Signature and Cosmic Anomaly complexes using Sovereignty structures' upgrade levels - This requires at least Dominion Client support AND research into Sovereignty structure packets and behavior EVEmu PROJECT DEVELOPMENT STATUS Last Updated: 2011-01-25 by AknorJaden
