CCP discussed the plug-in in ablog post laying out their 2023 plans. 2023 is also the year EVE Online enters its third decade since release.

The idea is that pulling data into Excel will allow players to more easily calculate profit margins on trade deals and even - because this is EVE - the likely outcomes of different battle strategies.

CCP are also planning two new expansions this year, with one in Q2 and another in Q4 according to the roadmap (pictured above).
