Please note that the following may or may not be available on Singularity.

Linux and Mac support:
Supporting EVE on alternative platforms is a project run by CCP with TransGaming Technologies. People using Linux with any of the three officially supported distributions (Ubuntu, Linspire, SUSE) and Macintosh users with Intel processors running OSX 10.3 or 10.4, will be able to run EVE-Online on their machines. This is will all be possible through Cedega, a software product that allows Windows games to run on the Linux operating system completely transparently and seamlessly and on Mac through TransGaming's Cider portability engine.

Press release and more information about Cider and Cedega can be found at the Transgaming website: Here (http://www.transgaming.com/news/?id=60)
Trinity II:
We are creating a completely new updated graphics engine to make EVE even more beautiful. This first version will include the basis for future additions to our engine that will allow us to take advantage of the latest in technology.

Model Renovations:
We will be rebuilding all the ship and many object models in EVE for a better visual effect. This is the first in a series of model renovations to improve the visual quality of EVE.

It 'mostly' works!!

No starmap at the moment and F11 is freaky .. some of the drone images aren't quite right either.

All in all, it was very playable on my work laptop even (not a graphics power house)

Darien, if you wanna give this game a try, I'll loan you a character to look after for a week.

The two week trial is prolly better for a new pilot than an active character. You get the rookie help channel, tutorials, and senerio agent missions to let you discover EVE for yourself.
