Features

Unified Inventory

  • The tree view in the Inventory has been updated with unique icons to help identify different Inventory locations; this includes but is not limited to: all specialized ship bays, POS structures, Corporate hangar divisions and Member hangars, Active Ship and Station Delivery. The active ship now has a green background both in the tree view and window view.

    • The Primary Window is the Inventory window opened up from the Neocom button Inventory (ALT + C). This windows displayed contents will change based on the Inventory location a user has selected to view.
    • Secondary windows are those opened via SHIFT + Click (including via right contextual menu) that open up with their index tree view collapsed by default. These windows will remember their size, position, icon view state and stack based on their type and/or if they are unique.

Ships

  • The following ships have been added to the game as prizes for the winners of the Alliance Tournament X. More information can be found in the dev blog 'Alliance Tournament X - Full Schedule, Prizes and Streaming Changes'.

    Etana

    Slot layout: 6/6/3

    The Etana came into existence as one of numerous secret projects under Tibus Heth's rule. As part of those revolutionary and paranoid times in the Caldari State, political emphasis on technological research was split between a need for inexpensive improvements in warfare and a need for advances in espionage and the arts of secrecy. One of the outcomes of that research was an improvement on the Osprey, whose versatility and low manufacturing cost made it a natural candidate for improvements. The resulting vessel maintained the shield defenses known among similar ships of its type, while adding an array of remarkable black ops capabilities. In fact, it is reputed that initial prototypes were employed to spy on interstellar activities near the recaptured Caldari Prime, as part of Tibus Heth's continually growing espionage initiative.

    Caldari Cruiser Skill Bonus:

    • 160% bonus to Shield Transport and Energy Transfer Array range and 20% bonus to Shield Maintenance Bot transfer amount per level

    Logistics Skill Bonus:

    • 17% reduction in Shield Transport and Energy Transfer Array capacitor use per level

    Role bonus:

    • 40% reduction in the amount of heat damage absorbed by modules, 50% in CPU need for Shield Transporters, and in power need for Energy Transfer Arrays
    • 99% reduction in CPU need for cloaking devices
    • The Etana can be bridged by a Black Ops ship

    Cambion

    Slot layout: 4/5/3

    The Cambion is the result of Caldari State Executor Tibus Heth's insistence that modern weapons of war be able to continually outperform previous standardized versions. While that effort is rumored to have been hit-and-miss (resulting in great scientific advances at the cost of a stunning array of misfortunes), it is absolutely undeniable that the Cambion has been one of its great successes, a feat that likely could not have been achieved in a different political milieu. The Cambion an out-and-out brawler. Taking note from the Merlin – a versatile combat frigate in its own right – this ship is intended to rush in, overheat everything it runs, hit hard with everything it has and get out moments before death can find it.

    Caldari Frigate Skill Bonus:

    • 5% bonus to shield resistances per skill level.

    Assault Ship Skill Bonus:

    • 5% bonus to light missile and rocket rate of fire per skill level.

    Role Bonus:

    • 115% bonus to light missile and rocket kinetic damage and 50% reduction in heat damage taken by modules.
