Patch Notes For 2020-12-10.1 - Winter Nexus

Features & Changes

The [Winter Nexus](https://www.eveonline.com/article/qkz4dd/winter-nexus-eves-holiday-season) event has begun! This in-game event will run until downtime on 5 January 2021. - Volatile Ice Storms have begun to appear across highsec, lowsec, and nullsec space. These ice storms spread out across the stargate network from a central system, and occasionally move from system to system just like the existing metaliminal storms. These storms provide bonuses to ship thermal resistances and module overheating for all capsuleers flying within them. Sansha's Nation and Outer Ring Excavations have both mobilized to take advantage of the novel forms of stellar ice found within these storms. - Wightstorm combat anomalies have begun appearing within the Volatile Ice Storms. These sites are full of hostile Sansha's nation vessels, and CONCORD advises capsuleers bring a battlecruiser ship or better when attempting to engage with these forces. The Wightstorm Forward Base site found within storms that originate in highsec space appears to be guarded by the weakest Sansha fleets, with the nullsec Wightstorm Transit Site posing an intermediate challenge and the lowsec-based Wightstorm Muster Point offering the greatest challenge for the greatest rewards. - Wightstorm data signatures can also be found within Volatile Ice Storms. These Sansha's Nation data sites can be hacked by enterprising capsuleers equipped with scan probes and data analyzer modules. - Volatile Ice Field anomalies can also be discovered within Volatile Ice Storms. These fields of newly discovered stellar ice have recently been captured by ORE and Mordu's Legion forces who have driven away the Sansha harvesting fleets. These ice fields can be accessed through a special ORE-commandeered acceleration gate that only allows medium and small mining and hauling ships to enter (Expedition Frigates, Mining Barges, Exhumers, Industrial Ships, Blockade Runners, Deep Space Transports, and the Porpoise). The volatile ice found within these fields cannot be reprocessed by standard facilities, however Outer Ring Excavations has set up mobile ice collection operations within each of these ice fields, and is willing to trade with capsuleers who contribute to their mining operation. Capsuleers can trade seven units of volatile ice with the ORE representatives in the ice fields to receive a package of valuable salvage and items that ORE forces collected from the wrecks of Sansha ships. Rumors suggest that other valuable Sansha salvage has frozen directly into some of the ice chunks and can be occasionally picked up along with the ice by normal mining activities. - Rewards that can be found by capsuleers within all of these sites include valuable Overseers' Effects, hundreds of festive ship SKINs, limited-time Cerebral Accelerators, rare faction modules. The sites within the storms that originate within lowsec space have a chance of providing blueprints for the new "Rapture" capacitor regeneration pirate implant set. - New limited-time Ice Storm filaments are now available that will instantly transport capsuleers into one of these volatile ice storms. Each filament clearly states in its description how many capsuleers it can transport and whether it will take them to a highsec, lowsec, or nullsec storm. - A new Yoiul Festival seasonal challenge track can be found within the Agency. These challenges can be completed over the course of the event by engaging with the combat, hacking, and ice mining sites within the Volatile Ice Storms. Completing these challenges will provide players with points that will progress them along a reward track consisting of new exclusive Aurora Universalis skins and Brainfreeze cerebral accelerators. - A new set of daily login gifts are available over the course of the Winter Nexus event. Players can receive all of these rewards by logging in at least 13 days between now and January 5th.

Implants:

- The new Sansha's Nation Rapture implant set has been introduced. This implant set improves capacitor regeneration rates. - Blueprint copies for the Rapture implants will initially be available through loot drops from the combat, hacking, and ice mining sites within the Volatile Ice Storms that originate in low security space. - Low-grade Rapture Alpha: +2 Perception, 1% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 2.5% set bonus - Low-grade Rapture Beta: +2 Memory, 2% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 2.5% set bonus - Low-grade Rapture Gamma: +2 Willpower, 3% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 2.5% set bonus - Low-grade Rapture Delta: +2 Intelligence, 4% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 2.5% set bonus - Low-grade Rapture Epsilon: +2 Charisma, 5% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 2.5% set bonus - Low-grade Rapture Omega 10% set bonus - Mid-grade Rapture Alpha: +3 Perception, 1% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 10% set bonus - Mid-grade Rapture Beta: +3 Memory, 2% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 10% set bonus - Mid-grade Rapture Gamma: +3 Willpower, 3% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 10% set bonus - Mid-grade Rapture Delta: +3 Intelligence, 4% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 10% set bonus - Mid-grade Rapture Epsilon: +3 Charisma, 5% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 10% set bonus - Mid-grade Rapture Omega 25% set bonus - High-grade Rapture Alpha: +4 Perception, 1% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 15% set bonus - High-grade Rapture Beta: +4 Memory, 2% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 15% set bonus - High-grade Rapture Gamma: +4 Willpower, 3% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 15% set bonus - High-grade Rapture Delta: +4 Intelligence, 4% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 15% set bonus - High-grade Rapture Epsilon: +4 Charisma, 5% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 15% set bonus - High-grade Rapture Omega 50% set bonus

Gameplay:
