Today CCP has released a new build of EvE: Tyrannis on their test server. If you would like to try it out yourself, all you need to do is copy your main Eve folder to a new location (for example to C:\Eve test). Then make a shortcut on your desktop to the “eve.exe” file in this test folder. Right click the shortcut, choose properties and add the following: /server:87.237.38.50
"C:\eve test\eve.exe" /server:87.237.38.50
Run it and let it update (please mind it is a rather bulky download > 280Mb). I have not been able to log on yet, but in the meantime you can have a look at how the login screen is going to look like in Tyrannis:
UPDATE 29.04.2010:
The changes (compared to the previous builds) include:
- 5 tiers of command center (was 1) with different cpu/pg capacity and skill requirements
- new login screen

- very important: planet types have been reseeded
