Since the middle of 2011 we have had nearly 200 items of unreleased clothing sat in the EVE client waiting to be used. At Fanfest we had a large number of people asking us to give them more options for personalizing the look of their avatar. This was a repeated message at player gatherings and multiple forum posts both before and since then.
It has been a while since our last Dev Blog about ship balancing: we´ve hosted Fanfest 2012 and released Inferno in the time that's passed. We deployed the first batch of overhauled frigates with Inferno, collected a lot of player feedback and thus gained experience in the process.

The last of our rapid response releases will be done this week (7 releases in less than 2 weeks so far), focusing on dealing with the biggest issue right now: Performance. Those improvements are going out Thursday, June 7, and should hopefully smoothen the experience considerably.
