The long awaited Skill Queue

Apocrypha (from the Greek word ἀπόκρυφα, meaning "those having been hidden away") is the name of the latest expansion by CCP to EVE Online.

Summary

"Apocrypha" was released on March 10th 2009, and allows players to find, explore, and utilize the resources found in nearly 2,500 new Wormhole Space systems.

Within the new space outside of the Known Universe, new enemies are safeguarding the secrets needed to create new, advanced Tech 3 ships. Powered with a new AI, pilots should be wary that the Sleepers do not catch you off guard.

A Skill Queue was added to Eve Online: Apocrypha, allowing players to schedule the times their skills begin training up to 24 hours in advance.

Numerous other changes were made with the Apocrypha expansion. For a full list, please consult the official patch notes.

Requirements

Please note, as stated on a devblog [1], On March 10th, after the Apocrypha expansion, having a graphics card that supports ShaderModel 2 is the minimum to run EVE. This means GeForce FX (5 series) or ATI R300 (9500, x300) or compatible. EVE Classic was replaced with EVE Premium Lite, a "stripped down" version of the Premium client. There are no plans to change the specifications further this year.

Premium and premium lite are basically the same client with different graphics option toggled.
