Patch Notes for 2026-03-10.1

Features & Changes:

Factional Warfare:

All Level 4 FW Missions have been updated.
- New NPCs have been added to replace the previous ones. Players will no longer lose faction standings for killing them and these NPCs now care about faction allegiance.
- Mission objective structures that needed to be killed to complete some level 4 FW missions have had standing penalties removed from them.
- Structures, which were non-essential for completing the mission, have been replaced with non-interactable objects.
- All Level 4 missions with acceleration gates have had their ship restrictions changed to FW Large Advanced restrictions. They will now spawn a Large Advanced beacon into space instead of a defunct beacon type.
We've introduced a new modular standings mechanic. Standing hits for friendly fire (Awoxing) are now double what they were inside factional warfare and insurgency sites, but halved for outside these locations.
- You can read more about these changes in the latest FW Devblog.

Miscellaneous:

10th Anniversary Project Discovery SKIN rewards have been added.
New Zydrine Burn SKINs have been added.

Defect Fixes:

User Interface:

Fixed an issue where the Aura Guidance button would duplicate in the Neocom if "pin to Neocom" option was selected when the Aura Guidance chat window was open.
Fixed an issue where the Aura Guidance fixed Neocom button would take the wrong colour.

Patch Notes for 2026-03-05.1

Features & Changes:

Balancing:

As part of today's deployment, 53 new systems have been added to the Tranquility database, although they have not yet been added to the game world of New Eden itself. These systems and the region they comprise are not yet accessible to players or visible on the star map and won't be for a while yet.
This new region of space will eventually form the area where newly created characters take their first steps in EVE Online as part of continued improvements to the New Player Experience (NPE).
While these systems aren't apparent from within the EVE client we know that inquisitive players would have unearthed their presence through other means and so to temper some speculation we wanted to provide you with this brief explanation.
Over the coming weeks and months as we approach Fanfest and the summer expansion, we will be providing detailed information about our plans for this new area of space.
- EVE Online Dev Team

Patch Notes for 2026-03-03.1

Defect Fixes:

User Interface:

Fixed an issue that prevented switching between SKIN previews if the ship info window was open.

Patch Notes for 2026-02-27.1

Features & Changes:

Localization:

Added localization for the Unbridled Glory SKINs and Crate.

Patch Notes for 2026-02-26.1

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Large and extra large mouse cursor sizes now work for Project Discovery.

Technical:

On Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards, icons in the UI would sometimes be incorrect. This would often happen on the ship fitting window. We have attempted to implement a work around for this issue. If you see it again after this patch, please file a bug report from within the client (F12) when it happens.

User Interface:

Fixed an issue that caused the information window for wormholes to not update correctly.
Fixed an issue where text could overlap in the Aura Guidance chat window.
Fixed an issue where the nested help pointer generated from clicking a link in the Aura Guidance responses would disappear almost immediately.

Patch Notes for 2026-02-25.1

Features & Changes:

Career Agents:

The final mission for each career agent, i.e. Making Mountains of Molehills (10 of 10) has had the faction standing bonus changed when completing the mission to no longer trigger derived standings, just like epic arcs. This will mean players will no longer lose standings to empire factions when completing the career agent missions.
- It should be noted that players who have already started or previously talked to a specific career agent will still get the derived standing standings from their final mission.

We are primarily making this change to help new players to better enlist in Factional Warfare. For example, if you started out as Minmatar, played through the career agents, and then made friends who want to join Amarr FW or you want to enlist with Amarr for their military campaign, you aren’t locked out because you happened to complete the career agents for Minmatar.
Unlike other storyline missions, the career agent missions did not warn you that the mission would have an important impact on your standings.

Faction Warfare:

All Level 1 Faction Warfare Missions have been updated:
- New NPCs have been added to replace the previous ones. Players will no longer lose faction standings for killing them and these NPCs now care about faction allegiance.
- Mission objective structures that needed to be killed to complete some Level 1 FW missions have had standing penalties removed from them.
- Structures, which were non-essential for completing the mission, have been replaced with non-interactable objects.
- All Level 1 missions with acceleration gates have had their ship restrictions changed to FW Small Navy restrictions. They will now spawn a FW Small Navy beacon into space as well, rather than a defunct beacon that lied to players about the ship restrictions.

In 2012 we removed all the standing penalties from the NPCs that spawned in the capture sites, and in the Uprising expansion, the new content such as Battlefields, Supply Depots and Rendezvous Points purposely did not include standing penalties. We are now starting to remove the standing penalties from FW missions. Our plan is to slowly roll this out for other FW Mission agent levels. This will eventually mean that FW missions will no longer cause any standing penalties and combined with the changes to promotions we have already made, there will no longer be any way to lose standings taking part in factional warfare gameplay outside of friendly fire against friendly militia members.
This should make the missions much more attractive as a source of generating tags needed for LP store offers and standings for players who are enlisted in FW, giving more purpose to the missions as well.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

In Factional Warfare: Players attempting to warp while inside a warp disruption bubble, while in a corruption level V system, will no longer cause the person who bubbled to lose standings with the NPC corporation or faction that the player belongs to. This means that players in FW will no longer get standing hits from allied members of their militia trying to warp in their bubbles.

Defect Fixes:

Localization:

Updated “Save x%” in the Omega Upgrade window for CN localisation.

Patch Notes for 2026-02-17.1

Features & Changes:

Factional Warfare:

Being promoted in factional warfare will no longer trigger derived standing gains, meaning that FW rank promotions now work like epic arc standing rewards, where you will now only get positive standings to the FW faction you are promoted for, rather than postive and negative standings. This means that it is no longer possible to lose standings when getting promoted in FW.

Aura Guidance (Beta):

Aura Guidance is a new in-client assistant designed to help new players navigate their early experience in New Eden. It is currently available as a beta to a limited number of new players on English language clients.

Aura Guidance answers common rookie questions using responses sourced from Rookie Help chat, ISD volunteers, and official game information.
Answers are context-aware, taking into account your current location, ship, and recent activity.
Responses include interactive links to ships and items, and can highlight relevant UI elements in the client.
When Aura is not confident in an answer, it will redirect players to Rookie Help chat.
Aura Guidance is optional and can be closed or removed from the Neocom at any time.
This feature does not affect gameplay or client performance.

Rollout plan:

This initial release targets a subset of new players on English language clients as a controlled test.
If results are positive, availability will expand to all new players on English clients.
Multilingual support is planned for a later phase.
The knowledge base is being updated daily and will continue to expand based on real player questions.

Known limitations:

Some questions will not receive an answer and will be redirected to Rookie Help.
Responses may occasionally feel generic, miss the specific context of your situation or be factually incorrect.

Patch Notes for 2025-12-11.1

Features & Changes:

Little Things:

🤝 Added formatting to the amount in the Storage section for the PI window.

🤝 Added known site names to the tooltip in the Probe scan window.

🤝 Added security status in front of the Location Station and the Destination Station (if there is one) in the contract window.

🤝 Added the reinforcement timer to the Selected Item window for Mercenary Dens.

🤝 Added “Simulate from Clipboard” to the Fitting window.

🤝 Players can now drag from the Compare Tool to the Fitting Window to simulate a fit.

🤝 Added the type name behind the “Divide Stack” text in the header of the dialog box when splitting stacks.

🤝 Added the closest dockable location to the “Closest Loyalty Point Store” column for the LP Corp Wallet.

🤝 Added Neocom icons for drones, probe, and directional scanner.

🤝 When multiple entries are selected in the watchlist, there will be a menu option to “Sort by Name”. That will sort the entries selected in place. Note: This will trigger a one time sort, not to set a sort order.

🤝 We are simplifying and removing the extra step from the “Import from Clipboard” button so that it does not have the Multibuy and Contract requests submenu, but rather just executes on this in one click, as it’s the only available option. We have updated the hint on the button to be a combination of the text and hint of the old submenu option.

🤝 Added 24h as an expiry option for bookmarks.

🤝 Changed the 3h bookmark option to 4h.

🤝 Added settings to allow a player to show or hide specific fleet broadcast icons.

The above settings will be next to the scope button, and the scope settings will also be moved into this setting, rather than having to click on the icon to toggle through the options. The scope icon will only be there to display the current scope. Currently most players will only be using a few of the available broadcast buttons, and allowing them to filter the others out will reduce the mental load when trying click the correct button while stressed. Currently, when all buttons are visible, they need to be made smaller as the window gets smaller, making it harder to click on the correct button. By allowing the player to reduce the number of buttons visible, the buttons can remain big even though the window is narrow.

🤝 When joining a fleet, the watch list will now automatically open.

This will help newer players to discover this powerful tool and be less annoying for older players to add members to it. Currently, you either need to open it with a shortcut, or add 1 member to it by right clicking > Add to watchlist and from there you can drag players into it. After this change, the player can just drag members into the window right away. Since the watchlist can be closed if no one is in it, we will also add an option under the “More” for the window that open the Watch List.

🤝 If you are rejoining a fleet, the last known watchlist will be restored.

This will be especially useful if you disconnect. This will be store in settings, so it will only work on that computer with that character, and if settings are wiped, it will be unable to restore it. It will only restore the fleet members that are in the fleet when you join, if someone has left the fleet but are still store in the settings, they will not be in the watch list and are not automatically added once they themselves rejoin. The watchlist should be restored even though you have joined another fleet between the time you left the original fleet and rejoined. The setting works on fleetID, so if a fleet is disbanded and another one is created, there will be no restoring of the watchlist.

🤝 Added another column to the fleet watch list.

This column can be added to the watchlist window from an option in the “More” options for the watchlist window. When there are 2 columns, the minimum width of the window is slightly bigger. When a column has been added, it appears on the left side and is empty. Once members have been added to the new column, and the setting is turned off, the watchlist column are moved to the first column, in the order they were in. If the settings is changed again, the extra column is added again, but now it should be empty. Players can either drag existing watchlist members in the extra column to move them there, or drop new fleet members there to add them to the watchlist.
The player is able to select mulitple characters in the watchlist by holding down the SHIFT. It is not an option to use CTRL, becuase that is the command for targeting. The player can then move multiple members around in the watchlist, either within the same column or to the new column. When dropping them in between other memebers in the list, they should be moved there, in the same order as before.
Players can drop characters from other places (such as chat) into the watchlist. However, when the characters are being dropped from outside the watchlist, it will NOT move the characters that are already in the watchlist to that position UNLESS only one character is dropped. The reason for this is that a player might have most of their watchlist set up, and then drop their whole fleet in there and we don’t want to mess up the setup they have already done.

🤝 Added an option when you have multiple characters that will show “Invite to fleet (numCharIDs).” This option will invite all the members as squad members, and work in the same as when right clicking multiple members and do “From Fleet with.”

🤝 Added a Help Pointer for the Guest tab in the Station Service/Lobby window.

🤝 Changed the header in Courier Contracts to only have 1 decimal.

🤝 If the cargo deposit for a structure fails, we have updated the window so that only the items that were successfully moved are cleared. This will make it easier for players to try again to deposit the items.

🤝 Added Total/Refund to the bottom of the Modify Order window.

Currently it’s difficult to see what the change you are making will cost you because the cost is not summed up, and there are differences between buy and sell orders:

When modifying buy order: the total you pay is the difference between the new price and the previous price + broker’s fee and SCC surcharge. This means if you are lowering the price, you are getting refunded.
When modifying sell orders: the total is only the sum of broker’s fee and SCC surcharge.

We will be adding a summary at the bottom. If you are getting refunded, the text will be green and the text on the left hand side will say “Refund“. If you need to pay money, the text is white and the label will say “Total“ (this is the same as when creating orders).

🤝 Added a shortcut for “Abort Undock.”

This will function as if clicking on the Undock button. Undocking triggers the banner that says undocking and when Aborting undock that banner will disappear. If Abort Undock shortcut is used when passed the point of no return in undocking, it will do nothing. Note that there exists a shortcut for Undocking, it’s called “Exit station.”

🤝 Added an option to the right click menu of a deployed mobile depot to allow the player in a ship with Mobile Depot hold to scoop it directly into the hold rather than the cargo (to scoop it in to the cargo you’d have to have space for it)

🤝 Contract managers for Corps can now multi delete contracts from the Corp.

🤝 Updated the visuals for the Skyhook Secured and Surplus Gauges to be more straightforward.

User Interface:

Updated EVE Online Developer Credits.
Visually updated the buttons in the PLEX Wallet Overview page.
Updated fanfare graphics when becoming Omega.
Added audio in the Omega Subscription window.

Alliance Tournament:

Alliance tournament prizes (Skua, Anhinga & SKINS) have been added to the game.

Fixed an issue that caused the Odysseus ship to not enter combat sites in Winter Nexus.

Optimised how LODs are loaded, which results in VRAM savings when not using the highest setting.
Added additional screen size loading for VFX on cruisers to hide small details when ships are viewed at a distance.
Fixed texture compression artifacts on Vargur siege mode VFX.

Localization:

Exchange LP window now opens again when French regional settings are on.

User Interface:

Output location is now included when copying contents of the industry window.
Sov hub map markers are no longer hidden by system labels.

Patch Notes for 2025-12-09.1

Features & Changes:

Winter Nexus

Winter Nexus is live! The event runs until downtime on January 12, 2026, bringing the return of the Volatile Ice Storms and their signature mix of combat, hacking, and mining sites. This winter brings a twist: InterBus’ newly deployed Yoiul LAD drones roam the storms under the guise of traveler safety, yet whispers spread that their true purpose may be far more alarming.

Volatile Ice Storms

Volatile Ice Storms have begun to appear across highsec, lowsec, and nullsec space. These ice storms spread out across the stargate network two jumps from a central system, and occasionally move from system to system just like 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.
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.

Event Sites

Wightstorm combat anomalies are now appearing inside Volatile Ice Storms, filled with hostile Sansha vessels. CONCORD recommends bringing at least a battlecruiser. Difficulty scales by space:
- Highsec: Wightstorm Forward Base (easiest)
- Nullsec: Wightstorm Transit Site (medium)
- Lowsec: Wightstorm Muster Point (hardest, best rewards)
Wightstorm data sites also spawn in the storms and can be hacked using scan probes and a data analyzer.
Volatile Ice Fields can be found within storms as well. ORE and Mordu’s Legion have secured these sites, accessible via an ORE-commandeered gate allowing only medium and small mining/hauling ships (Expedition Frigates, Barges, Exhumers, Industrials, Blockade Runners, DSTs, Porpoise). The volatile ice harvested here cannot be refined, but ORE will trade 7 units for a bundle of valuable Sansha salvage. Additional rare salvage may be mined directly from ice chunks.
Across all storm sites, capsuleers can earn Nation Stormhive Shards, festive ship SKINs, Cerebral Accelerators, apparel, Sansha combat boosters, pirate implant BPCs, and rare faction modules.

Yoiul LADs

Roam exclusively within Volatile Ice Storm systems.
Locate them using combat probes—make sure InterBus Yoiul LADs are enabled in your overview.
Destroying them yields Verity Cryo Tech, an item used to unlock enhanced versions of event content and increase rewards.

Using Verity Cryo Tech

Combat Sites:
- Deposit Verity Cryo Tech into a Sansha’s Transit Modulator to reroute the acceleration gate to a hidden high-difficulty pocket in space with greater rewards.
- Normally, Marauders cannot enter highsec sites, but they can enter if the gate is rerouted.
Data Sites:
- Use Verity Cryo Tech in a Sansha’s Stormfield Projector to unlock an additional data relay, providing extra loot opportunities.
Mining Sites:
- Trade Verity Cryo Tech alongside volatile ice at the on-site item traders to receive an upgraded salvage package.

Patch Notes for 2025-12-08.1

Features & Changes:

User Interface:

Updated EVE Online Developer Credits.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

We have changed the asset safety valuations for items with low trade volume, specifically targeting Titans and Supercarriers. This should make their asset safety recovery fee more consistent.
- This primarily addresses the Avatar, which was ~200% higher than the rest of the titans, and the Ragnarok, which was ~100% higher.
- The Leviathan and Erebus have had their asset safety fees increased, along with faction titans.
- Extremely rare items, such as AT ships, may still display inconsistency in their recovery fees. The fees generally favor the player, by being considerably cheaper than the fees for items with more regular trade volume.
- For more information, including for reimbursement information, please visit this thread: https://forums.eveonline.com/t/update-on-asset-safety-values-for-supers-titans/502331

Patch Notes for 2025-12-05.1

Defect Fixes:

User Interface:

Added additional guidance to the AIR New Player Experience that will help users claim their reward and advance the tutorial after being pod-killed.
The Omega icon has been removed from the root of the ORE ship tree.

Patch Notes for 2025-12-04.1

Features & Changes:

User Interface:

The method of price estimation used by the mining surveyor UI has been updated to use an estimate of the value of the minerals obtained by reprocessing the ore when possible, rather than entirely relying on the market price history of the ore itself. This should allow the UI to present more accurate estimates in a large number of situations, especially with ores that are less commonly traded on the market directly.

Defect Fixes:

Freelance Jobs:

Fixed an issue where the Freelancing skill was not available on the market.

User Interface:

Fixed an issue where the ‘Establishing Warp Vector’ progress bar could overlap effect icons.

Fixed an issue where the Rorqual would flicker when viewed from a distance.

Patch Notes for 2025-12-02.1

Features & Changes:

Freelance Job Access Lists (ACLs)

Freelance Jobs now support Access Lists (ACLs), giving corporations and job creators the ability to define exactly who can view and accept the job postings. This update provides better control and privacy and a more tailored collaboration for corporations.

ACLs allow visibility restrictions at three identity levels:
- Character – specific characters.
- Corporation – all members of selected corporations.
- Alliance – all members of corporations within selected alliances.
Creating Jobs with ACL:
- You can select which ACL to use during job creation, and once assigned, a job’s ACL cannot be swapped, but the contents of the ACL may be edited at any time.
- Changes to ACL affect job visibility and participation but will not remove existing participants.
- If an ACL that’s attached to a freelance job is deleted, only the active participants of the job are able to contribute. No other capsuleers can accept the job.
- Blocked characters can’t see or access relevant job listings, even with a direct link.
- The job creator and corporation project managers always retain full access regardless of restrictions.

New Skill: Freelancing

A new Freelancing skill has been introduced.
- Each level increases the number of concurrent Freelance Jobs a character can accept, up to maximum of 11.

Freelance Job Cost Adjusted

To make the job creation more sustainable, two cost reductions have been applied:

Duration fee reduced by 25%.
Broadcasting Fee reduced by 33%.

Freelance Job : Alliance Column in Participant view

A new Alliance column has been added to the Participant view for Freelance Jobs. Project managers will now be able to view and sort participants by alliance membership.

Clicking the Alliance column header sorts the participants alphabetically by alliance name and clicking again reverses the order.
If a participant does not belong to an alliance, a “-” symbol will be shown.

Map:

Changed the ore price preview from ‘price per unit’ to ‘price per m3’ in the Ore Distribution filter’s overview.

User Interface:

Fixed an issue where volume was not correctly reported on Prismaticite and Compressed Prismaticite’s Show Info page.
Generally reorganized how volume and reprocessing info is displayed on the Show Info tab for most mineables.
- Types that can be reprocessed will show batch size (if > 1) and special reprocessing skill (if it exists).
- Harvestable clouds and Prismaticite will show volume and, when viewed in space, harvested output type.
- Materials will show volume.
- All other mineables will show harvested output type.

Patch Notes for 2025-11-18.1

The Catalyst expansion is out!

Full overview of the contents of the expansion can be found here: Catalyst Expansion Notes!

Features and Changes:

Miscellaneous:

Brand new Refined Resourcer SKINs line has been released.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Added Astrogeology level 1 skill requirements to Strip Miner I and Ore Strip Miner since they can effectively only be fitted on Mining Barges which also require Astrogeology to add the Omega Only icon to them so alpha clones better understand they cannot use them.
Added missing traits and elements to the Boobook.
Freighters now show they require Advanced Spaceship Command V in the ship tree.
Fixed an issue which could cause the Serpentis Vigil site to not be able to be completed and the acceleration gate to get stuck in a state where no player could reach the final room of the site.

Fixed several issues with skillbooks being priced incorrectly in the Command Guri LP store.
Sensor Warfare Resistance (AKA sensor damp resistance) is now shown in the show info window for all ships. Players could get this resistance from some sources, like the electronic hardening command burst effect or T3D sharpshooter mode and it wouldn’t be displayed in the ship info which made it unintentionally hidden.
Several sleeper/drifter NPCs that spawned in Pochven or outside wormhole space have had the activity difficulty chance for salvaging updated to -5 instead of 1e-06.
Made some adjustments to Forsaken Hub and Haven dungeons to try and fix a very rare defect in where NPCs could become stuck and not warp in and the anomaly not able to be finished.

Localization:

All Afocal Meta named lasers which were named “Masers” in their name and description has been changed to “Laser” to stop confusing players.
Fixed several mission text defects.
Fixed the description of nocxium incorrectly mentioning ores found through sovereignty upgrades that do not provide nocxium.
Clarified that only offensive module usage breaks your invulnerability when returning from an abyssal filament.

Catalyst: Expansion Notes

EVE Online Team — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 15:55:00 GMT

Greetings expansion enthusiasts!

The Catalyst expansion is arriving next week at 11:00 UTC 18 November! We are delivering the patch notes early so you can absorb everything that's coming next Tuesday. We invite you to join the player discussion about the content of this release on the EVE Online Discord and the EVE Online Forums.

Expansion Notes 23.02 - EVE Online: Catalyst

Map Improvements

New 2D Map

A brand-new 2D map is now available! You can access it through the 2D toggle button in the bottom-right corner of the map window.

The 2D map comes with two distinct visual modes depending on your zoom level:

Heatmap view when zoomed out, for an overview of the universe data.
Tube/Subway-style map when zoomed in, for a clearer look at systems and connections.

You can also decide how much data to display: use the eye-shaped toggle above the 2D button to switch between always-visible data or focusing only around your cursor area.

Improved Data Visualisation

We’ve improved how data is displayed on both the 2D and 3D maps. The new visualisation now aligns more closely with player expectations, drawing inspiration from the classic map’s behaviour. Filters now use logarithmic scaling, which makes it easier to distinguish increments in lower-end values, even when big outliers appear on the map.

A legend has been added to help interpret the data shown on the map. By interacting with the tuning icon on the legend, you can open the new filter editing panel, where you can:

Adjust the data range displayed.
Switch between logarithmic and linear scaling.
Customise the colours used for visualisation.

Your changes will be saved per filter, allowing you to tailor how data appears and focus on what’s most relevant to your needs.

Jump Range Visualisation

Pilots flying ships equipped with jump drives can now toggle the jump range display on or off on both the 3D and 2D map via the jump icon in the bottom-right corner.

In the 2D view, reachable systems are highlighted, and in the tube/subway map mode, reachable nodes change their shape from circles to diamonds. Hovering over a system provides information about jump range, fuel consumption and fatigue incurred after the jump.

New Filters

We’ve expanded the range of filters available on both 2D and 3D maps! Under the new Mining category, you can now choose from:

Ore Anomalies - displayed as pins, showing nearby anomalies within a 5-jump range.
Ore Distribution - showing where ore belts are located across New Eden.
Specific Ores - highlighting systems where particular ores can be found.

This is also where we’re introducing a new information sidebar that appears alongside the map. It provides extra context about the selected filter, helping you explore ore data and learn more about the resources you’re seeing.

Quality of Life Improvements

The following quality of life improvements have been added:

Pilots can now search for landmarks directly in the map’s search field.
Directional arrows have been added to the 2D map to make regional connections clearer and easier to identify.

Mining UI/UX Improvements

Integrated Mining Surveyor with Overlay Toggle

All ORE mining ships and all basic empire corvettes now come equipped with a built-in Mining Surveyor, providing immediate access to in-space resource data without requiring a separate module.

The Mining Surveyor introduces a dynamic overlay, displaying colour-coded visual indicators of asteroid value directly in space. The overlay can be toggled ON or OFF via the scanner button on the HUD.

Turning Overlay ON: By clicking the Scan button, your ship performs a mining scan and displays colour-coded visual overlays on nearby asteroids. These overlays highlight relative value tiers and estimated ISK to give players an immediate, at-a-glance view of the most profitable targets in range.
- Clicking the scan button again will re-scan your surroundings.
Turn Overlay OFF: Player can also right-click the scan button to disable the overlay. All the current scan data will be retained within the survey scan result window until player re-scan.

Mining Survey Chipset Module

The Mining Survey Chipset is a passive mid-slot module that enhances the mining surveyor with detailed information on the number of units of ore available in nearby asteroids. It also provides bonuses to mining critical success chance and mining critical success bonus yield, as well as a reduction in mining residue chance.

Only one mining survey chipset module can be fit at a time.
The mining survey chipset is available in Basic, Tech 1, Compact, and Tech 2 versions.
Existing survey scanner modules have been converted into mining survey chipset modules.

Mining Surveyors can be upgraded with a Mining Survey Chipset to reveal additional information, such as a total value and remaining quantity.

ORE Industrial Command ships can provide upgraded Mining Surveyor functionality fleet-wide through any Mining Foreman Burst, granting members access to the same enhanced survey data provided by the Mining Survey Chipset module.

Cargo Hold Capacity Indicator

While the mining surveyor overlay is active, a new icon will display the current capacity of your mining hold in the space scene behind your ship to make this information accessible at a glance.

Faster Mining Cycles

Mining lasers and strip miners now will have 4x faster cycles, and gas cloud harvesters will have 2x faster cycles, making mining operations more responsive. The yield per cycle, capacitor usage, and mining crystal volatility damage has been adjusted proportionally to maintain the same overall mining yield over time.

Mining Crits

Mining lasers, strip miners, and ice harvesters can now experience critical successes, granting bonus yield without reducing the remaining ore in the asteroids. The chance of a critical success starts at 1% and the bonus yield from a critical success starts at 200% of the standard yield of that cycle, with both values able to be increased through skills, modules, and mining foreman bursts. Critical success notification will appear on-screen with added audio and visual cues to inform players when a crit occurs.

New Mining Critical Success Skills

Two new skills have been added to benefit the mining critical success system:

Mining Precision is a new rank 2 skill that provides a 10% bonus to mining laser and ice harvester critical success chance per skill level.
Mining Exploitation is a new rank 6 skill that provides a 5% bonus to mining laser and ice harvester critical success bonus yield per skill level.

Changes to Mining Cycle Rounding

The rounding system used for mining yields has been adjusted so that the amount of ore you receive over time while mining will more closely match the estimated values of your modules. Previously, any remainder of less than one whole unit of ore that was left over after the ore unit volume was divided into the mining cycle yield volume would be rounded down and lost. Now we have implemented a system of stochastic rounding so that each cycle will have a chance of receiving one additional unit of ore, so that over time your overall yield will tend towards the yield that would be expected from your module attributes and bonuses.

One-key Compression Shortcut

A bindable hotkey can be assigned to compress all ore, ice, and gas in your ship at once when you have access to compression in space through a mining foreman ship in fleet.

Mining Laser Efficiency Mining Foreman Burst Charge

A new Mining Laser Efficiency charge for the mining foreman burst module has been added.

This new charge provides a base bonus of +50% mining critical success chance and -15% mining residue chance to fleetmates within range. These bonuses scale with pilot skills, ship bonuses, and mindlinks just like other mining foreman bursts.

All of the mining foreman burst charges provide enhanced mining surveyor functionality to all affected fleet members that are piloting ships with an integrated mining surveyor, allowing them to track the remaining number of units of ore in nearby asteroids.

New Introductory Message When Entering Asteroid Fields

When warping into asteroid belts and mining anomalies, a new introductory message will appear in the bottom third of the screen that lets players know the name of the location they just arrived at, as well as an estimate of how depleted or fresh the asteroid field is. This should be especially helpful to players in high-traffic space to indicate at a glance whether a field is mostly picked clean by other players or not.

Phased Asteroid Field

Phased Fields are high-value mining sites featuring unique mechanics. They spawn randomly in low and null-security space, and must initially be discovered using probe scanning. They contain a valuable new ore - Prismaticite, which can be mined from Phased Asteroids within the site and which requires the use of industrial command ships to mine efficiently.
In addition to the incredibly valuable Prismaticite, there are also several high-value asteroids of superior grades present which can be mined at any time as normal.
These sites contain a hyperspace fracture which will slowly move across space, breaching any Phased Asteroids along its path.
- Once breached, Phased Asteroids are phased-out and can be mined for prismaticite at 10% efficiency immediately.
  - After deploying a Mobile Phase Anchor and connecting it to industrial command ships, the asteroid will phase-in and can then be mined at 100% efficiency.
  - This persists until it phases-out over time or the fracture moves away, collasping the asteroid.
Mobile Phase Anchors require 100 energy to phase-in the Phased Asteroids. Rorquals provide 100, Orcas 50, and Porpoises 35.
- Mobile Phase Anchor Blueprints are available for 140 million ISK in the following locations: Ytiri, Propel Dynamics, Eifyr & Co., Freedom Extension, Zoar & Sons, Ducia Foundry, Impetus, Chemal Tech, Mordu's Legion, ORE, and Intaki Bank Stations.
Once the fracture has moved halfway across the site, a beacon is spawned revealing the site. Once revealed, the site’s location is visible to everyone in the solar system, and it also becomes visible on the Star Map.
Prismaticite is resource-rich, but it is also the first in a new type of ore called Erratic. When Prismaticite is reprocessed, each reprocessing batch will randomly become 1 of the 8 possible mineral types and provide a variable quantity of that mineral.
Capsuleers can control the mineral output of Prismaticite by running Unrefined Mineral Reactions. These reactions require Compressed Prismaticite and Atmospheric Gases.
- Reactions for the Unrefined Minerals can be purchased from most Upwell Consortium member corporations for 50 million ISK.
- Unrefined Mineral Reactions require Standup Composite Reactor.
- Unrefined Minerals can be reprocessed into their respective Minerals with variable output quantity.

Mining Content

Revamped the ‘Asteroid Belt Remnants' site found in all starter systems and career agent systems. It has instead been replaced by an empire managed asteroid belt instead with enhanced visuals and NPCs.
- Number of sites reduced from 3 to 1 to make it more likely for new players to meet each other in the sites.
- New site uses an acceleration gate which only lets the standard Venture and empire corvettes inside (Impairor, Ibis, Velator and Reaper).
- Veldspar size in the site increased by 10-12x.
Kernite and Omber anomalies will now spawn rarely in all high security space between 0.5 and 0.8 security rating as they once did before the resource distribution update.
Kernite and Omber anomalies have had a full visual pass.
Kernite and Omber anomalies will have a slightly higher chance to spawn in high security space within 3 jumps of Empire Militia FW War HQ systems.
Kernite and Omber anomalies have a very small chance to get an escalation to a brand new highsec exclusive mining escalation, the shrouded asteroid belt.
Hidden Omber Deposits which need to be probed down with scanner probes will also appear rarely between 0.5 and 0.8 security rating systems. This site contains some +15% Platinoid Omber and a higher chance to get the mining escalation.
Highsec mining anomalies such as the Kernite and Omber sites, Rare Border sites, Ice Belts and the new managed asteroid belts will now spawn a beacon into space on the overview when a player first warps to them (like FW sites) to give better visibility to newer players and showcase mining activity in highsec. These beacons have been added to the default mining overview.
- We have not added these beacons to anomalies in lowsec/nullsec/w-space for now since miners in these areas of space might want to hide their activity.
- The hidden omber site (found with scanner probes) and the highsec mining escalation do not spawn a beacon when warped to as players may want to keep the location to themselves.
Added a system wide buff effect into Empire Miltia FW War HQ systems that grants a 10% mining speed bonus.
NPC mining ships will now spawn much more frequently in their factions respective FW War HQ systems.
Veldspar Deposits will now spawn in Empire Militia FW War HQ systems.
- The War HQ systems are where the shipcasters are located for each empire militia and are listed below.
  - Amarr - Mehatoor
  - Caldari - Onnamon
  - Gallente - Intaki
  - Minmatar - Amo

We are adding back the Omber and Kernite anomalies that were taken away from High Security space when the Resource Distribution update took place 5 years ago. Specifically, we are only adding back the Kernite and Omber anomalies (and not the ones containing Jaspet or Hemorphite) to keep Nocxium a more low-sec focused mineral. We want to bring back a source of Omber and Kernite to highsec so that players are able to mine it for level 3 and level 4 storyline trade missions that require it, and also add more valuable sites that are slightly less predictable than the rare border sites which spawn in the same locations. Additionally, we are adding a highsec escalation as a rare jackpot for highsec miners.
To help encourage mining in FW empire war HQ systems (and help encourage them to become market/trade hubs and good places for producers to buy minerals from and stock ships, which they can then sell to FW players) we are weighting the chance of the Kernite and Omber anomalies to have a higher chance of spawning in and around the War HQ systems. We’re also adding a small mining boost effect in these systems and then adding in a Veldspar Deposit as a more reliable source of highsec minerals in the War HQ systems, as Amo and Mehatoor specifically only had 4 asteroid belts, and Intaki had special asteroid belts that only respawned infrequently which made it hard to get consistant mining going there.

Improved the visuals of lowsec Asteroid Belts.
Lowsec mining anomalies can no longer spawn multiple copies of the same site in the same solar system. For example, 2x Small Gneiss Deposits can no longer share the same system. This means they will be more spread out and more widely available and won’t congregate as much in a single system.
Rare Border Sites that could spawn in 0.5 high security systems that border lowsec, nullsec that borders lowsec and Blue A0 sites which could spawn in systems with blue A0 suns in wormhole space and nullsec can no longer spawn multiple copies of the same site in the same solar system.
Adjusted the Medium Jaspet Deposit and renamed to Average Jaspet Deposit to match the naming scheme of similar anomalies. It no longer spawns in every lowsec system, and will now instead appear uncommonly throughout lowsec. Increased the size of the asteroids, increased the amount of asteroids by approximately 4x and added +5% and +10% Jaspet variations so that the site should at least feel more rewarding.
Doubled the chance of the small variation of mining deposits from appearing in lowsec.
Removed rogue drone NPCs from lowsec small anomalies, so that they are a bit easier to ninja mine with ventures/prospects etc. The standard asteroid belt NPCs can still show up at the anomalies.
Added new variations of the small mining deposits as ‘hidden’ versions that need to be discovered with scanner probes. These variations have higher quality ore and a much higher chance to get the new lowsec mining escalation. We’re adding just the small ones for now to see how players respond to them in low security space, we’re hoping the extra safety of needing to discover the site first and higher quality ore make them attractive to miners and will lead to more mining ships in space overall in lowsec.
All lowsec anomalies now have a small chance to escalate to a new exclusive lowsec escalation, the Veiled Asteroid Field.
The Veiled Asteroid Field has a similar amount of minerals found in the Large Crokite, Dark Ochre and Gneiss anomalies, but they are condensed into far fewer asteroids at higher tiers. It has the added advantage of other players needing to combat probe you to find the site.

Mining Missions

All mining missions have had an enhanced visual pass.
All Level 1 and Level 2 mining missions have had their ISK and LP Payouts increased by 50%.
We’ve made sure to do a QoL pass on many of the sites too, making sure the mission asteroids are usually within 20km of the warp in point for the mission so the mission ore can always be found with the on board scanner and players don’t have to move far away to be able to mine the ore, now that everything has been replaced with non-interactable objects to the mission ore should always be at the top of the overview if you sort by range closest to you.

Mining Mutaplasmids

New Mutaplasmids have been added that can mutate:
- Mining Lasers
- Strip Miners
- Ice Mining Lasers
- Ice Harvesters
- Gas Cloud Scoops
- Gas Cloud Harvesters
- Mining Drones
- Ice Harvesting Drones

These new mining module Mutaplasmids can be found in Abyssal Deadspace, while the mining drone mutaplasmids are potential rewards from CONCORD Rogue Analysis Beacon sites.

Added a new Integrated Sensor Array - Carrier only module. More about that below.

Carriers

Decreased build costs by approximately 30%.
Decreased build times by 10%.

The cost of Carrier construction has been brought down significantly. The reduction represents around 1 billion ISK per hull at time of writing. At this new price point, these ships will be somewhere between a Marauder and a Dreadnought. This allows a player to make a more meaningful choice when selecting their ship.

Carriers can now have an additional Support Fighter squad active:
- Increased the Support Fighter Squad limit to 2 (from 1).
- Increased the total number of Fighter Squad Tubes to 4 (from 3).
Added new Support Fighter effectiveness bonuses:
- Archon: +2% bonus (per level) to Cenobite Support Fighter neutralization strength.
- Chimera: +2% bonus (per level) to Scarab Support Fighter ECM strength.
- Thanatos: +2% bonus (per level) to Siren Support Fighter afterburner speed bonus.
- Nidhoggur: +2% bonus (per level) to Dromi Support Fighter stasis webification strength.
Increased Fighter Bay Capacities:
- Archon: 60,000 → 65,000 m3.
- Chimera: 55,000 → 60,000 m3.
- Thanatos: 70,000 → 75,000 m3.
- Nidhoggur: 65,000 → 70,000 m3.

These changes aim to strengthen the Carrier’s long range EWAR niche. A Carrier pilot can now field an additional Support Fighter, giving them additional utility with no loss of DPS. They will also have the option to field 2 Support and 2 Light Fighters at the same time if the need arises.
Support Fighters themselves are now more powerful when used by a Carrier. Each faction will be able to make the most out of their respective Support Fighters, with an up-to 10% bonus to effectiveness.

Increased Ship Maintenance Bays to 2,000,000 m3 (from 1,000,000 m3).

Part of the expectation of a Carrier is the ability to move a large number of ships. As such, the SMB of all Carriers has been doubled. This brings these ships to the same ballpark as a Bowhead.

Decreased max target ranges:
- Archon: 3,950 → 315 km.
- Chimera: 4,620 → 350 km.
- Thanatos: 3,670 → 300 km.
- Nidhoggur: 3,760 → 305 km.
Added a max target range cap of 750 km.
Can fit the new Integrated Sensor Array:
- Functionally identical to Networked Sensor Arrays, other than the following:
  - Multiplies max target range by 12.
  - Removes the max target range cap.
  - Has a 2-minute duration.
  - Adds a -30% bonus to repair module duration and capacitor use.
  - Does not disable MJD or MJFG.
  - No increase in EWAR capacitor costs.
  - Uses the visual effect of a Triage module.
  - Cannot be fit to Supercarriers.
  - Note: You can still receive remote repairs when this is active, just like the NSA.
- Build costs and blueprint availability are the same as those of Networked Sensor Arrays.
- Networked Sensor Array can be traded in for Integrated Sensor Arrays at all LP stores.

The above changes aim to tackle “skynetting” Carriers. Carriers will no longer be able to engage at their previous extreme ranges without an active Integrated Sensor Array. While this module is active, the Carrier will be unable to warp, dock, or tether. This provides counterplay for those attacking into Carriers within tether range of a structure.
The Integrated Sensor Array is a much more powerful variant of the Networked Sensor Array. The MJD and MJFG restrictions are not present on this variant, allowing the ships more mobility. Active tanking is also buffed when using the Integrated Sensor Array. Lastly, the EWAR capacitor cost increases of the Networked Sensor Array are not present to allow more flexibility in fitting.
Note that Carriers will still be able to fit a Networked Sensor Array until early next year. After this time, the Networked Sensor Array will be made exclusive to Supercarriers.

Support Fighters:

Increased Scarab Support Fighter ECM strengths:
- Scarab I to 2.4 (from 1.6).
- Navy Scarab to 2.7 (from 1.95).
- Scarab II to 3.0 (from 2.3).
Increase Cenobite Support Fighter Energy Neutralizer amounts:
- Cenobite I to 70 GJ (from 60 GJ).
- Navy Cenobite to 80 GJ (from 70 GJ).
- Cenobite II to 90 GJ (from 80 GJ).

The Scarab and Cenobite are the least popular Support Fighters by a noticable margin. Increasing their effectiveness helps make the bonuses found on the Archon and Chimera feel impactful. Having more viable options for a Carrier also gives them better flexibility.

Supercarriers:

All Supercarriers can now Conduit jump with the same mechanics as a Carrier:
- Can jump with a maximum of 30 other capsuleers.
- All sub-capital combat ships are eligible to be jumped.

The addition of a Conduit jump to Supercarriers gives them extra utility and some nice QoL when flying in a smaller fleet.

Force Auxiliaries

Increased the Fuel Bay of all Force Auxiliary ships to 6,000 m3.

Force Auxilary ships are often more fuel hungry than other ships with the same sized bay. Increasing the Fuel Bays for these ships should make the experience of flying them more enjoyable.

Balancing

Molok
- Blueprint Copy added to the Blood Raider LP store at 165 billion ISK and 165 million LP.
Chemosh
- Blueprint Copy added to the Blood Raider LP store at 15 billion ISK and 15 million LP.
Dagon
- Blueprint Copy added to the Blood Raider LP store at 15 billion ISK and 15 million LP.
Loggerhead
- Blueprint Copy ISK and LP cost reduced from 25 billion ISK and 25 million LP to 15 billion ISK and 15 million LP.

We’re adding the Blood Raider capital ships to the Blood Raider LP store, as we are unhappy with the state of NPC Sotiyos and to get parity with the other pirate factions. We are adding them at a slightly higher cost (+10% of the others) to carefully monitor them, and we’ll slowly adjust them down when we’re satisfied, although we know that this is likely too high of a cost, and the other pirate dreadnoughts are likely still too expensive as well.
Additionally. we are reducing the cost of the Loggerhead at the same time to match the Dagon at 15 billion ISK and 15 million LP. We want to monitor pirate FAX being more available before reducing them to the dreadnought values, since they may be overpowered in some niche areas of space such as wormholes if they are easier to replace and more available.

Cenotaph
- Breacher Pod M Damage Duration reduced from 50s to 40s. (From 75s to 60s with max skills).
- Breacher Pod M Maximum Damage reduced from 800 to 600 (from 1000 DPS to 750 DPS with max skills).
- This is a large reduction to the total amount of damage done per breacher pod, especially against larger ships, with max skills this is a reduction from 75,000 to 45,000 maximum damage per pod.
Tholos
- Breacher Pod S Damage Duration reduced from 50s to 40s. (From 75s to 60s with max skills).
- Breacher Pod S Maximum Damage increased from 160 to 200 (from 200 to 250 DPS with max skills).
- This maintains the total amount of damage done per breacher pod against large ships, at 15,000 damage per pod.

The Cenotaph is still too strong despite our attempts to add more counterplay to it in the Legion Major Update. We are reducing the maximum damage duration of pods with max skills from 75 seconds to 60 seconds, and lowering the maximum potential flat damage output that the breacher pod outputs. This comes close to halfing the total damage per pod (a 40% reduction overall). Which we think will still leave it in a very strong place against high resistance targets, but reduce the overall pressure it provides when spreading multiple pods over multiple ships at once.
We are also adjusting the Tholos a little for consistency, so that all breacher pods now last 60 seconds with max skills. We are lowering the total damage duration of the pod but then compensating it by increasing the flat damage, keeping the damage per pod the same as now. This will see it increase from 200 to 250 DPS against larger targets it is focusing a few pods on, but it will see a small reduction of damage if spreading multiple pods over smaller targets.

Stratios
- Added 50% Medium Energy Turret damage role bonus.
- Reduced Number of Turrets from 4 to 3.

Even though the Stratios was bonused for Medium Energy Turrets, they were frequently ignored for other weapons or energy neutralizers and felt weak despite the bonus. We’re giving it a large 50% damage role bonus, but then taking away a turret. This should make the lasers feel better to use with most stratios fits since you can fit 3 bonused lasers alongside a cloak and a probe launcher at the same time, and it also reduces the fitting and capacitor costs needed for full gun fits, while providing a small boost in damage as now the 3 turrets will outdamage the old Stratios with 4 turrets fitted.

Mamba
- Guristas NET Resonators required to build the Mamba reduced from 40 to 30.
Mekubal
- Angel NET Resonators required to build the Mekubal reduced from 40 to 30.
Venture
- The Venture Blueprint no longer requires Isogen to be able to manufacture a Venture.
Porpoise
- Medium Industrial Core I
  - Shield Booster cycle time bonus improved from 10% to 20%.
  - Shield Booster amount bonus improved from 10% to 20%.
- Medium Industrial Core II
  - Shield Booster cycle time bonus improved from 10% to 20%.
  - Shield Booster amount bonus improved from 15% to 25%.
Orca
- Large Industrial Core I
  - Shield Booster cycle time bonus improved from 30% to 40%.
  - Shield Booster amount bonus improved from 20% to 40%.
- Large Industrial Core II
  - Shield Booster cycle time bonus improved from 30% to 40%.
  - Shield Booster amount bonus improved from 30% to 50%.

Giving a small boost to the active tanking capabilities of the Porpoise and the Orca while they are using the industrial core modules.

PLEX Transaction Logs

New PLEX Transaction Logs are now available through the Wallet. There are 2 tabs available Overview and Transactions.

Epic Arc

A New Epic Arc — Fractured Legacy — has been added!
- Consisting of three mining-focused missions, this new Epic Arc is meant for new and returning players.
  - The Arc showcases Catalyst features, including a gorgeous Phased Field!
- The latest Epic Arc in nearly 16 years, it is short and experimental compared to its predecessors.
  - It is estimated to be completable in the length of a normal session.
- Earn novel rewards, such as the new ORE Mining Destroyer, the Pioneer!
  - Other rewards include other new expansion goodies, such as modules and BPCs.
- To get started on this ORE Epic Arc, go to the AIR Laboratories station in
  Kisogo VII and speak to Elias Peltonnen.

Air Opportunities - Freelance Jobs Visibility Update

We’ve updated Freelance Job tab in Air Opportunities to only display jobs that the current character is eligible to participate in.

Factional Warfare:

New NPCs have been added to most FW Complex sites:
- NPCs of both the occupying and attacking factions will be present.
- NPCs will fight based on factional allegiances and can contest sites.
- Some NPCs may be fitted with warp disruption.
- NPCs can still drop tags, but at a lower rate given their increased presence.
- Scout, Small, Medium, and Large Complex sites have all been updated.

These changes borrow strongly from the mechanics found in Pirate Insurgency sites. Capsuleers will always be able to take part in a small scale skirmish when entering a complex.
Having NPCs of both factions present will also mean a capsuleer will want to be fit for combat even when defending. Keeping track of pointing NPCs will also be necessary if a player wants to be ready to a quick getaway.

Pirate Strongholds:

The rewards for destroying a Pirate Strongholds (sometimes referred to as Pirate FOBs) have been rebalanced:
- A 10-pilot fleet will now be optimal for the maximum payout.
- Up to 1 billion ISK can be earned per Stronghold.
Roaming NPCs spawned by the Pirate Stronghold will no longer attack player structures.

The rewards for Pirate Strongholds did not fit the expected risk/reward within low-sec. There has also been some demand for 10-pilot content within these systems. The FOBs have been rebalanced to provide rewarding content for medium scale low-sec pilots. Note that the drops from the FOB have been unchanged.
The roaming Pirate NPCs have been causing frustration for those who have structures within those systems. This was especially true with Metanox Moon Drills, where their frequent brief attacks meant constant upkeep. As such, these NPCs will no longer shoot at structures. However, they may still visit them looking for other targets!

We're excited to see what you do with the updates coming in the Catalyst expansion, and we'd love for you to get involved with the discussion on the EVE Online Discord and the EVE Online Forums.

Patch Notes for 2025-10-06.1

Features and Changes:

Crimson Harvest

The Crimson Harvest has begun! The event will run until downtime on Tuesday, November 4th, 2025. This year’s event sees the Blood Raiders and the Order of St. Tetrimon locked in conflict once more, but a catastrophic failure in Upwell’s secret clone research shifts the war into a darker chapter.

Event Sites

Combat Sites

Crimson Gauntlet and Tetrimon Base sites are appearing across New Eden in Highsec, Lowsec, Nullsec, W-space, and Pochven.
Approach with caution: these sites are balanced for battlecruisers, battleships, heavy assault cruisers, or stronger vessels.
Defeating the battleship-class NPCs at the end of these sites can yield ISK items, boosters, SKINs, character apparel, and more.

Hacking Sites

Crimson Harvest Network Node and Tetrimon Network Node sites are also scattered across New Eden.
These contain hackable network structures offering valuable rewards.

Advanced Sites

Both Blood Raider and Tetrimon forces are escalating their conflict, establishing stronger bases in the warzone.
These advanced combat and hacking sites appear only in:
- Blood Raider controlled systems in Delve
- The Eugidi, Angils, and Essin constellations
Advanced sites are rarer, tougher, and offer greater rewards. Bring allies, but beware of rival capsuleers hunting the same prizes.

Escalations: Now obtainable in standard sites!

The most elusive and valuable strongholds of both factions can only be discovered through rare escalations, now from both standard or advanced combat sites. These escalations can now trigger from nullsec, lowsec, and highsec. When this happens, a mysterious Dark Blood structure will appear after the site has been completed. Destroying it will lead to the escalation.

Biocybernetic Incident Sites

This year introduces a new twist. Upwell’s experiments with cloning technology, in special biocybernetics facilities, have gone terribly wrong. Jump instead of bridge kind of wrong. The locations of these incidents are now combat sites across all space.

Class 1: Highsec - balanced for new players in basic Tech I frigates
Class 2: All areas - for experienced players in Tech I destroyers, Tech II frigates, and lower.
Class 3: Lowsec, nullsec, wormholes, and Pochven - for veterans flying up to Tech III destroyers

The sites require pilots to stay within a designated perimeter for a certain period of time, fighting waves of enemies, and ultimately taking on an even more formidable foe. Keep the Opportunities Info Panel open to see how much time is left, and watch out for shuttles attempting to leave the site laden with valuable loot. Destroy them before they escape to make these sites even more lucrative.

Encounters:

These sites also tie into the broader event: Blood Raider and Tetrimon sites now have a chance to contain narrative-related encounters, offering both danger and lucrative rewards.

Increased Loot Drops

For the duration of the event, capsuleers who are podded have a chance of dropping any implants they have installed. The implant drop rate is 50%
The Blood Raiders have bribed the Loot Fairy and, starting October 10, player ships outside of highsec will drop 90% of their loot for the duration of the event.

Agency Challenges & Rewards

Both Blood Raiders and the Order of St. Tetrimon are calling for capsuleer support.

Each character must choose a faction allegiance in the Agency.
You’ll earn points by attacking and hacking the opposing faction. The Biocybernetic Incident sites are an exception, granting points to both factions for participation.
There is no penalty for engaging both factions’ sites, but Agency progress only advances by hitting the opposition. Engaging with the new Biocybernetic Incident sites will yield progress for both sides.
Rewards include 100 PLEX, Skill Points, seasonal boosters, Deathglow Remnant SKINs and more.
The reward track expands in the final week with rewards too good to miss.

Daily Login Rewards

Alpha and Omega pilots receive separate reward tracks
Omegas claim both tracks daily, and upgrading to Omega unlocks all past Omega rewards retroactively
Rewards include:
- Boosters
- SKINs and SKINR nanocoatings & patterns
- EverMarks
- Skill Points
- And more!

Don’t miss out: the 24th login during the event grants a special Skill Point bonus for both Omega and Alpha capsuleers.

Previously, some fleets were able to enter certain sites (e.g. EDENCOM Field Bases) and alter the intended balance of that site. Now, these NPCs will only go to sites that feature a lobby area. In addition, roamers will now more evenly split their attention between sites and other locations.
Note that these changes apply to all Triglavian Invasion roamers, including those spawned in Pochven, minor victory systems, EDENCOM Fortress systems, and NPCs spawned from Pochven wormholes.

User Interface:

Added Icons to the market tooltips for your orders and orders that are on your route.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Skyhooks can be warped to again from the ‘My Orbital Skyhook’ window.

Pochven:

Roaming NPCs will no longer warp to small-scale sites within Pochven.

Patch Notes for 2025-09-09.1

Legion Major Update

The Legion Major Update is now live!

Features and Changes:

Balancing: 🤝

Reduced the Maximum Number of drones that can be assigned to a character from 50 drones to 20 drones.

We’re cutting down on the number of drones that can be assigned to a single character at a time from 50 to 20 drones. There are things that we really like about drone assistance: there is a skillful element of assigning drones to someone else when you are jammed, damped or out of range. There is also some niche gameplay such as assigning drones to an interceptor to decloak players at gatecamps, assigning light drones to a dedicated anti-frigate ship in PVE such as incursions or PVP, and you can assign drones if you’re doing some specialized task like Logistics. Further, if you’re a new player you can assign drones to your more knowledgeable friends & fleet mates so you can focus on piloting your own ship.
We feel like dropping down to 20 drones will still keep most of these cool use cases intact, while cutting down on undesirable gameplay.

Sentry Drones
- Increased Signature Radius on all sentry drones from 100m to 300m.

Increasing the signature radius on Sentry Drones to Battlecruiser size so that they take more damage from Missiles, Bombs and Vorton Projectors, and are faster to lock so that they can be countered more effectively.

Armor Rigs
- Changed the drawback from Armor Rigs to be Agility instead of Max Velocity.
New Skill added - Advanced Armor Layering
- Grants 2% reduction to the mass penalty of armor plates per level.
- Rank 5 skill.
- Available in all empire school stations to purchase for 15,000,000 ISK, or from the character sheet for 19,500,000 ISK.
- Skill Requirements
  - Armor Layering IV
  - Mechanics V
  - Hull Upgrades V

We’ve heard concerns that shield setups are dominating and armor doesn’t feel great for skirmishing now. To help address this, we’re introducing a new advanced skill to shave off a bit more mass from armor plates and changing the drawback on most armor rigs to be a penalty to Agility instead of Max Velocity. This will still keep the original design intent and tradeoff that exists with armor/shield rigs in that they reduce some of your ability to mitigate damage in exchange for more tank. Losing turning speed and handling means you won’t be able to orbit as tightly or get as high angular velocity as before, but you now won’t also be giving up range control anymore which should make them feel much better on the field.
We hope that this will make armor more viable especially at smaller scales and help promote more ships that have fallen out of favor such as AHACs.

Encounter Surveillance System site
- Increased the range that players are unable to cloak in the main bank room from 150km to 500km.

Cutting down on some frustrating gameplay where snipers could enter the ESS and then cloak in the site to ambush players as they come in.

Marauders
- Removed -70% Micro Jump Drive reactivation cooldown role bonus from all Marauders.
- Vargur: 7.5% Falloff bonus per Minmatar Battleship level reduced to 5%.
- Marauders are now unable to access the main bank room of the ESS.

Marauders continue to be dominant and oppressive at smaller scales of PVP. Marauders currently have incredible damage, high projection, a durable tank, and incredible mobility. We’re making an adjustment here to reign them in a bit while solidifying their role as ships which trade mobility for improved offense and defensive capabilities, and making the Bastion Module their core identity.
We’re making another small adjustment to the Vargur because it is still an outlier. This set of changes should still keep them as apex PVE and PVP ships and the undisputed kings of firepower and defense, but allow for counterplay opportunities when it comes to facing them on grid.
Additionally, we are experimenting by blocking Marauders from the ESS main bank room. This should hopefully lead to a more diverse meta for ESS engagements and allow other battleship and battlecruiser hulls to shine. We’ll be keeping an eye on this change to see if it leads to a healthier ecosystem overall.

Bastion Module
- Armor Repair and Shield Boost Amount Reduced from 100% to 60% while active.
- Added new bonus, 20% reduction in cycle time and capacitor cost for Armor Repairers and Shield Boosters while active.

This retains the current repair effectiveness over time values as now without increasing the capacitor cost per second.
We are doing this to help improve active armor Marauders which could sometimes end up repairing for most, or even exceeding their maximum Armor Hitpoints when using Asklepian Implants, boosters, x-type hardeners, et cetera. This would limit the ability of armor Marauders like the Kronos and Paladin when outfitted with high-end modules. It also made them require a disproportionally higher skill cap relative to shield Marauders given how armor repairers apply their reps at the end of the cycle.
This will make Armor Repairers easier to use without over-repping on armor Marauders and limit them less when it comes to high-end fits that push the limits.
Additionally, this change will help reduce the power of Ancillary Shield Booster Marauders a bit in PVP. We’ve heard a lot of frustration from the playerbase about multiple XLASB shield fit Marauders (Looking at you Vargur!) since they’re both very cheap and bypass the normal weakness that active tank marauder fits have against capacitor warfare. By moving some of the power of the bastion module into cycle time, this specifically hurts ancillary shield booster fits since they mostly just want raw boost amount to get the most effectiveness out of each charge and clip, rather than cycle time and the capacitor cost reduction.

Tactical Destroyers
- Can now enter the main bank room of the ESS.

We're giving Tactical Destroyers some more roaming utility by allowing them to enter the ESS site. Like with Marauders, we’re experimenting a little here to mix things up, we’ll make changes if things end up going in an unhealthy direction like with 10mn T3Ds becoming meta or becoming too hard to catch.

Confessor
- New Defense Mode Bonus: 33% bonus to Remote Armor Repairer amount, and reduction in activation cost.
- Damage per level of Tactical Destroyer increased from 5% to 7.5%.
- Max Velocity increased from 230m/s to 250m/s.
Svipul
- New Defense Mode Bonus: 33% bonus to Remote Shield Booster amount, and reduction in activation cost.
- Damage per level of Tactical Destroyer increased from 5% to 7.5%.
- Max Velocity increased from 220m/s to 240m/s.

Both the Confessor and Svipul are suffering a bit in usability. The Confessor has a bit too much overlap with the Retribution right now, which has significantly better mitigation while also having high damage with a range bonus. The Confessor's only strengths over the Retribution is the added utility, commonly used as a probe launcher, and the added damage and ewar resistance in sharpshooter mode. The Svipul has also struggled with other new ships entering the game like the Thrasher Fleet Issue and buffs to the Stabber, Navy Cruisers and medium Autocannons.
The Hecate and Jackdaw are doing very well right now and are some of the most used ships in the game, so we’re giving both the Confessor and Svipul a bit more base damage and speed to hopefully make them stand out a bit more. We’re also adding a Remote Armor/Shield Booster bonus to them in defensive mode, to give them some more utility to potentially open up some spider tanking fleet options in PVP and PVE.

Ferox Navy Issue
- Medium Hybrid Damage per level bonus reduced from 10% to 7.5%.
- Medium Hybrid Tracking per level bonus reduced from 7.5% to 5.0%.
- Powergrid Reduced from 1250 to 1150 (same as regular Ferox).
- CPU reduced from 565 to 515 (same as regular Ferox).
- Reduction in Shield Booster power and CPU requirements per level bonus improved from 7.5% to 10%.

We’re making some adjustments specifically to the Ferox Navy Issue to address its dominance in the fleet meta. Specifically, we are reducing the damage, tracking and reducing the Powergrid and CPU that it has, setting it back to the same values that the regular Tech 1 Ferox has. This should still mean it is viable but make it harder to fit a 5-6 slot tank and a DLA with railguns without fitting modules. At the same time we are improving the shield booster fitting bonus that it has which should compensate active tanking fits with a fitting reduction to make up for the loss in base PG and CPU.
Additionally, we know there are concerns about the dominance of other railgun ships that may just simply replace the FNI as the top meta railgun ship, with those being the Vulture, Ferox (t1), Naga and Rokh. So we are going to make some adjustments to all rails overall.

Medium and Large Railguns
- Tracking Reduced by 10%.
- Optimal Range and Falloff Reduced by 10%.

Railguns are dominating at all sizes, so we’re going to reduce their tracking and optimal & falloff slightly for medium and large railguns. Medium Railguns have been very strong for a very long time now, while Large Railguns have recently taken the top spot since the Viridian expansion where we gave a significant buff to the Rokh with a tracking and rate of fire bonus.
This will mean that most of the Tracking Speed bonus for Large Railguns got rolled back, maintaining about 3.5% of it, but they’ll keep the rate of fire bonus they received. We hope this will mean that Large Rails will land in a good spot between now (Super Dominant) and pre-Viridian (Considered weak).
We will continue to keep a close eye on the Vulture, Ferox, Ferox Navy Issue, Rokh and Naga after this set of changes and make further adjustments in the upcoming expansion if needed, whether they continue to dominate or end up too weak.

Naglfar
- Midslots improved from 6 to 7.
- Lowslots reduced from 6 to 5.
Naglfar Fleet Issue
- Midslots improved from 6 to 7.
- Lowslots reduced from 6 to 5.

Improving the shield tank effectiveness of the Naglfar line by improving the number of midslots they have available at the cost of a lowslot. This should mean the Naglfar can take advantage of the shield booster bonus a bit more effectively in HAW setups and open the door for stronger shield based anti-capital turret dreadnoughts. While we do think we are trading some of the unique versatility of the Naglfar hull here, the dreadnought meta has been heavily dominated by Revelations for the last half-decade, and the T1 Phoenix (that the T1 Naglfar now shares a slot layout with) are missile based so we feel comfortable making this change.

Sin
- Removed 10% bonus to logistic drone transfer amount per level.
- Added 10% bonus to Warp Scrambler range per level.
- Added +1 bonus to Warp Scrambler strength per level.
  - These bonuses only apply to Warp Scramblers and not Warp Disruptors.

The Sin is the least used Black Ops, and the logistics drone transfer amount bonus is fairly weak. We are replacing this with a 10% bonus to the range of Warp Scramblers, and then a +1 bonus to strength per level to Warp Scramblers. This bonus should be a lot more desirable and makes more sense for the role of Black Ops. We hope this bonus will improve the Sins utility in drops by making it more powerful at holding targets, and give it a niche in super hunting with the extra point strength.

Apocalypse
- Removed 7.5% Large Energy Turret Tracking bonus per level.
- Large Energy Turret optimal range bonus improved from 7.5% to 10% per level.
- Added 5% Large Energy Turret damage per level.
- Added 10% reduction in Large Energy Turret capacitor cost per level.
Apocalypse Navy Issue
- Removed 7.5% Large Energy Turret Tracking bonus per level.
- Large Energy Turret optimal range bonus improved from 7.5% to 10% per level.
- Added 7.5% Large Energy Turret damage per level.
- Added 10% reduction in Large Energy Turret capacitor cost per level.

Reworking the Apocalypse. There is a lot of competition for large energy turret ships with the Apoc, Apoc Navy, Abaddon, Nightmare, Bhaalgorn, Armageddon Navy Issue and Oracle all fighting for the same space. Currently, the Apocalypse feels weak due to lack of a damage bonus, while the tracking bonus doesn’t feel particularly strong because a lot of other laser ships are better in applying damage in practice, such as the Bhaalgorn (Webs+Neut), Nightmare (Superior mobility and same tracking bonus), Armageddon/Armageddon Navy Issue (Ranged neuts and can fit Rapid Heavys/Bonused Drones) and the Oracles superior mobility allowing it to get better tracking through managing traversal. The unique selling point of the Apocalypse hull is the optimal range bonus, however the damage is still underwhelming.
The aim here is to move the Apocalypse more towards a sniper attack role, focusing it more on ranged damage. so we are removing the tracking bonus of the Apocalypse, while giving it more damage, giving it a cap reduction bonus for lasers so that it doesn’t hurt as much running a MWD while shooting, and then improving the optimal range bonus slightly. We feel like this should make the Apocalypse stand out more in the lineup of Amarr Battleships.

Maelstrom
- Highslots reduced from 8 to 7.
- Turrets reduced from 8 to 6.
- Midslots increased from 6 to 7.
- Removed 5% bonus to Large Projectile Turret rate of fire bonus per level.
- Added 10% bonus to Large Projectile Turret damage per level.
- Powergrid reduced from 21000 to 18000.

Reworking the Maelstrom to be a shield mirror of the Hyperion. This should help make it much more viable as a small gang brawler and PVE platform with the extra utility high and the extra midslot, while also making it more attractive in fleets by being a bit easier to fit with a pure artillery fit and increasing the alpha capability slightly at the cost of some DPS. We hope this will make it stand out a bit more from other Minmatar projectile ships like the Tempest Fleet Issue by leaning it more towards alpha strike damage and less towards rate of fire in fleets as an alternative option, and making it more viable as a counterpart to the Rokh.

Megathron Navy Issue
- Tracking bonus improved from 7.5% to 10% per level.
- Added 15% reduction in Armor Plate mass penalty per level.
- Maximum Velocity improved from 130m/s to 135m/s.

Giving some extra tracking to the Megathron Navy Issue to compensate it for the adjustment to large railguns, which will also mean a direct improvement to it with blasters fitted. Also adding a small speed boost and an armor plate mass reduction bonus to the Megathron Navy Issue to improve it for nano/skirmish armor fleets. This bonus has worked well on other ships, like the Oneiros, Eris, Catalyst Navy and Exequror Navy Issue, so we're excited to see the effect this will have on the Navy Mega.

Cenotaph
- Ladar Sensor Strength reduced from 25 to 15.
- Armor Hitpoints reduced from 5,000 to 3,500 (-1500).
- Structure Hitpoints improved from 6,000 to 7,500 (+1500).
- Low Slots reduced from 3 to 2.
- Role bonus to Medium Projectile Turret and Heavy Assault Missile damage improved from 100% to 125%.
- Max Velocity Improved from 160 to 170m/s.
- Agility improved from 0.6x to 0.55x.
Tholos
- Ladar Sensor Strength reduced from 16 to 8.

We’re hearing about complaints of the Cenotaph's strength from wormholers and to a lesser extent other areas of space where very expensive, high resistance ships are used at very close range around fixed locations. These fits allow the Cenotaph to survive even with a 3 slot tank. In this environment things like range and speed don’t matter as much. We are making a set of adjustments to the Cenotaph to try and retain its strength in other areas of space where it’s not as dominant, while also adding more meaningful counterplay options to the Deathless ships as a whole.
We are reducing the sensor strength of the Deathless ships to make ECM a very effective counter against them, especially in wormhole environments where their very close range missiles are not at as much as a disadvantage as they are in other areas of space. This should hopefully allow wormholers to more reliably counter while preserving a lot of their strength in other environments, where it is very difficult to ever get close to their maximum potential paper DPS output. ECM also is not very punishing in situations where you only have a DoT on 1-2 targets (since as long as you get a lock every 75 seconds then you can keep up the damage), but ECM is very effective at lowering the total DPS across the whole field since even a 25% chance to jam results in dropping the number of pods spread in optimal scenarios from 7 to 5.
Additionally, we are shifting some hitpoints from Armor away into Structure to make armor tanked Cenotaphs more vulnerable, and taking away a low slot, which should make heavy armor cenotaphs much less viable. To compensate it for the lost lowslot and buff it in situations where it isn’t using the lowslots for tank, we are improving the damage role bonus and also giving it some extra speed and agility to partially compensate the potential loss of modules such as nanofibers and gyrostabilizers/ballistic controls.

Cyclone Fleet Issue
- Max Velocity reduced from 190m/s to 180m/s.
- Signature Radius reduction per level bonus reduced from 5% to 3%.

The Cyclone Fleet Issue is a bit healthier than the Ferox Navy Issue, but still overperforming somewhat. We’re reducing the speed slightly and also reducing the signature radius reduction bonus to the same as the Hyena to remove some of the mitigation it has.

Harbinger Navy Issue
- Powergrid increased from 1550 MW to 1625 MW.

The Harbinger Navy Issue is underused so we’re giving it some PG to open up a few more fits. Combined with the changes to armor rigs and the other dominant battlecruisers being knocked down a bit, we hope this will make this a more attractive pick.

Myrmidon Navy Issue
- Drone Capacity increased from 250m3 to 300m3.
- Now additionally gets a 10% bonus to drone tracking per level just like the Vexor Navy Issue does.

Myrmidon Navy Issue is still the least used battlecruiser in the game. We’re giving it a powerful tracking bonus to match the VNI, and then improving the drone capacity on it so that it has more options and is harder to defang, and can afford to include more utility drones like the web drones it has a bonus to.

Tornado
- Agility Nerfed from 0.475 to 0.54.
- Max Velocity increased from 225m/s to 250m/s.
- Falloff bonus per level improved from 5% to 7.5%.

We’ve heard frustrations when it comes to dealing with low align time, warp speed rigged, artillery fit Tornados “Windrunners”. So we’re making an adjustment to the Tornado which should hurt it in this role, but buff it in other roles. We’re nerfing the agility enough so that it will be much harder to get an under 4 second align time on the Tornado, making this type of fit a lot more vulnerable to being caught. To compensate it for this nerf, we’re buffing the base speed of the Tornado and also improving the falloff bonus per level that it has. The net outcome of this hopefully is that Windrunner fits are less effective and can be caught more easily, but Tornados that are staying on the field feel stronger.

Talos
- Max Velocity improved from 220 m/s to 235m/s.

Giving the Talos a little love since it’s underused outside of structure grinding and ganking.

Deimos
- Signature Radius reduced from 150m to 120m.

The Deimos had a very large signature radius for a brawling focused armor HAC, moving it down to 120m which places it between the Vagabond (115m) and Zealot (125m), so that it can mitigate more damage. This should help it when brawling and in AHAC roles.

Zealot
- 5% Rate of Fire bonus replaced with 7.5% bonus to medium energy turret damage.

This is a very small damage bump (from 33.3% to 37.5% more damage) but will help the Zealot a lot more with cap stability, since the guns will no longer be consuming as much capacitor per second, and also means the crystals will last longer before they break.

Mamba
- New role bonus added, 25% bonus to drone max velocity.
- Maximum Velocity improved from 245m/s to 255m/s.
Mekubal
- New role bonus added, 50% bonus to small projectile falloff.

The Mamba and Mekubal aren’t quite at the power level expected from a Pirate Destroyer and their current price point. We’re buffing them up by giving them an extra role bonus which currently all other T1 Destroyers and Navy Destroyers in the game get. The Mamba is getting the drone speed role bonus which the Algos has, and a bit more speed since it’s a bit too slow right now while the Mekubal is getting an additional falloff bonus, which will stack with its per level bonus, just like the Khizriel.

Magnate Navy Issue
- Capacitor Improved from 325 to 500.
- Capacitor Recharge Time increased from 180 seconds to 250 seconds.
Heron Navy Issue
- Capacitor Improved from 245 to 300.
- Capacitor Recharge Time increased from 135 seconds to 150 seconds.
Imicus Navy Issue
- Capacitor Improved from 270 to 400.
- Capacitor Recharge Time increased from 150 seconds to 200 seconds.
Probe Fleet Issue
- Capacitor Improved from 235 to 280.
- Capacitor Recharge Time increased from 130 seconds to 140 seconds.

Setting the Navy Scanning Frigates base capacitor amounts and capacitor recharge time to the same values as their navy racial counterparts. This will result in them having much higher base capacitor pools and slightly higher capacitor per second rates. It was difficult to use them in PVP because of how low their capacitor pool was since they were unchanged from the base exploration frigates so this should improve them.

Skybreaker
- An additional high slot has been added.
Stormbringer
- An additional high slot has been added.

Giving these ships a utility slot allows them a chance to escape their current niches and see more use in other areas of the game. Powergrid and CPU values have not been changed, so their new modules must fit within current fitting constraints.

Outpost Construction Skill
- Now gives 1% reduction per level in manufacturing time for items that require the skill.

Making the outpost construction skill worth training to higher levels since currently no item in the game requires it to be higher than level 3 to build, and the vast majority of items only require it at level 1.

Factional Warfare:

The minimum requirement to join the Pirate FW Factions (Angel Cartel and Guristas) has been raised from -2.0 to 0.0 to match the four empire militias.

We are raising the standing requirements for players and corporations to enlist with pirate insurgency factions from -2.0 to 0.0 as we said we would in the earlier patch notes released on the 26th of June.
We are doing this to address concerns with team killing (Awoxing) in the pirate militias, which happens significantly more frequently in the pirate factions than the empire factions which already have a standings requirement of 0.0.
By raising the minimum to 0.0, corporations can no longer add fresh characters to bring their corp standings up below -2.0 as was previously the case.
We know this isn’t going to completely fix the problem with team killing in factional warfare, but we hope it will reduce the number of incidents in pirate militias for the time being.

Insurgency Balance
- Reduced the base amount of systems needed to be won from 7 to 5.
- Increased the ambition modifier cap from +13 to +15 (so winning 20 systems is still the maximum difficulty cap).
- Increased the weighting of Frontline and Command Ops systems for the Insurgency FOB when choosing a system for a new insurgency so that it is more likely to choose those systems.
- Increased the weighting of dominant control (when a side owns 66% or more of the warzone) so that the Insurgency FOB is more likely to choose those systems.
Insurgency Mining Ambush Sites
- Increased the signature radius of the Hijacker Taipans and Hijacker Echos from 25m to 80m (which is the same as the ORE Safeguard Atrons) so that they are much easier to track for players and the NPCs.
- Increased the shield hitpoints of the pirate and Mordus battleship NPCs by 50% to increase the time it takes to run the sites a bit and give more opportunities for players to get caught while running the site.

The pirate tackle frigates had very low signature radius when compared to the ore tackle frigates, and were very hard to track for both players and NPCs. Additionally, the sites were getting run a bit faster than we would like so we’re increasing the time slightly by increasing the HP of the battleships.

Character Resculpt Update:

It’s now possible to swap between the Male and Female body models using a Pilot’s Body Resculpt Certificate available from the NES.
As part of the update, every capsuleer receives a free character resculpt token that is bundled with the weekly 15,000 free Skill Points available in the New Eden Store. This is normally an Omega only benefit, but until 16 September only, it is available to Alphas as well!

Capsuleer Safety in Highsec:

Autothysian Lancers:
- In the aftermath of the Drifter Crisis, the Autothysian Lancers no longer have a presence in high security space.
Forward Operating Bases:
- Forward Operating bases that would previously spawn in highsec are now spawning in lowsec, and at a higher rate.

We’ve been looking into the subject of capsuleer safety in highsec, and as part of our investigation we've noticed that new players do lose ships to Autothysian Lancers and 'diamond rats' (from the FOBs). While the new player journey should include the experience of ship loss, destruction at the hands of Autothysian Lancers and diamond rats does not adequately teach new players about how to improve their survivability. The issue of highsec safety is an ongoing discussion that will require further time and continuing feedback.

Missions & NPCs:

Significantly increased NPC buy order quantities for the following commodities:
- Rogue Drone Infestation Data.
- Neural Network Analyzer.
- Sleeper Data Library.
- Ancient Coordinates Database.
- Sleeper Drone AI Nexus.

The new buy order quantities will mean no more stack splitting for all but the most determined of hoarders. These quantities have been split more equally across all applicable stations, meaning you can expect a consistent experience no matter which Corporation you choose to sell to.

New Contribution Methods for Freelance Jobs:

Freelance Jobs now include three new contribution methods, giving more options for corporations.

Destroy Capsuleer: Project Managers can now set up Freelance Jobs that reward destroying specific capsuleers or organizations.
Remote Boost Shield: Earn rewards by boosting allies’ shields through Freelance Jobs.
Remote Repair Armor: Earn rewards by repairing allies’ armor through Freelance Jobs.

Pochven:

Smaller-scale sites have had some mechanical tweaks:
- All such sites will now appear within the Triglavian Invasions Opportunities page.
- NPCs within EDENCOM Scout Fleets will no longer have mixed factions (e.g. Amarr NPCs will no longer appear with Caldari).
- Battleship NPCs will no longer spawn during the first wave in these sites.
- Moved NPC spawn locations to reduce bumping with the hackable container.
- Various improvements to how NPCs within these sites handle idling and swapping targets.
- NPCs will now make more consistent use of their microwarpdrives.
- A Rogue Drone battleship will now always spawn during the 2nd or 3rd wave of an Incipient Drone Swarm site.

Adding the sites to the Triglavian Invasions page has their location visible at any range within the region. This should promote more purposeful movement around the triangle while also offering a way for hunters to locate potential targets.
Separating the EDENCOM subfactions will mean there are less types of EWAR to deal with per instance. This should bring the difficulty of the site more in-line with that of the Convocation Watchpost.
Lastly, battleships spawning in the initial wave could result in swings in difficulty and time requirements. This was especially true for Incipient Drone Swarms, which could take far longer when multiple battleships spawned. Now, battleships will only spawn during the 2nd or 3rd wave. A battleship spawn is guaranteed in Incipient Drone Swarm sites, both to supply standings gains and to ensure the site runtime is a decent length.

Rebalanced Torpid Sleeper Hives distribution and rewards:
- Increased the number of sites present within the region to 6 (from 3).
- Decreased the optimal per-pilot ISK payout to 27m (from 33m).
- Decreased the average number of Stability Telemetry commodities within the hackable container.
Increased the optimal per-pilot ISK payout earned within Convocation Watchpost and EDENCOM Scout Fleet sites to 18m (from 15m).

Three instances of this site proved to not be enough to meet demand, so the number of sites has been doubled. Rewards have been rebalanced to compensate for the greater potential faucet.
Convocation Watchpost and EDENCOM Scout Fleet sites continue to be less appealing than Incipient Drone Swarms and Torpid Sleeper Hives due to their negative standings effects. The payout increase aims to reward those who are willing to put up with the additional dangers these standings hits cause.

Optimal per-pilot payouts for Observatory Flashpoint sites have been increased to 150m ISK (from 120m ISK).
Micro Jump Drives can no longer be activated within the lobby area of Observatory Flashpoint sites.
The Observatory Flashpoint failure timer will now only start after the initial guard NPCs are destroyed within the main combat area.

The previous change to site rewards had an outsized effect on groups running non-Marauder setups. We are adjusting the payout values of the site so it is still valuable for these groups.
To compensate for the reward reversion, a Micro Jump Drive block has been added to the lobby of these sites. This is intended to reduce the usefulness of Marauders within that area.
In addition, the site must now be fully in-progress before the failure timer begins ticking down. This is to prevent players rerolling the site spawn without any effort.

NPCs within Vigilance Point sites have had a number of balance changes:
- NPCs will now utilize microwarpdrives to close distances.
- NPCs will move more slowly when within their optimal orbit range.
- Inertia modifiers and mass values have been adjusted to make NPCs more agile.
- Optimal weapon ranges have been increased and falloff ranges have been added.
- Weapon tracking has been improved significantly.
- Shield and armor resistances have been reduced.
- Signature radii for Frigates, Destroyers, and Cruisers have been increased.
- Signature radii for Battleships have been decreased.
Drifter officers within Vigilance Point sites must now be destroyed before the next wave spawns to increase the Destroy Drifter Commanders counter.
Vigilance Point site beacons will now appear within their lobby area instead of the combat area.
Vigilance Point site beacons will now persist after the site is completed.
Vigilance Point acceleration gates will now be accessible without a key after the site is completed.

A common solution to this site has been kiting NPCs and largely ignoring them, which goes against the intended gameplay loop. As such, outrunning these NPCs has been made much more difficult. NPCs will now be more of a threat, but are also easier to destroy.
The change to when Drifter officers must be destroyed aims to increase the challenge when attempting to draw out Strategos. This also prevents Allecto’s blind fury being used as a tool to help clear multiple waves.
The beacon and acceleration gate behavior has been made consistent with Observatory Flashpoint sites. This prevents them being usable as safe locations following the site’s completion.

Overmind Nursery Groves have been partially rebalanced:
- Replaced the Triglavian Survey Databases found when salvaging an Overmind Nursery Nest with Triglavian salvage materials.
- Reduced the maximum number of sites to 9 (from 10).
- A beacon will now spawn in the site’s lobby area when the site completes.

Replacing the red loot with Triglavian salvage gives a way to acquire these materials without damage to Triglavian standings.
The average value for this site has increased fairly significantly with this change, resulting in a small tweak to the number of sites available. Also, the number is now divisible by 3.
Like with Vigilance Point sites, the beacon has been added to prevent the site being a safe haven once the site ends.

Science & Industry:

Increased metenox daily consumption from 3600 to 4800 (from 150 hourly to 200).
Decreased magmatic gas volume from 0.1 to 0.01.

We are actively working towards a stronger long-term solution for the Metenox and its impact. These changes are meant to be short-term iterations to nudge the Metenox in the right direction, while we take the time we need to find a better long-term solution.

Sovereignty:

🤝 It’s now possible to configure Skyhooks while they activating (during the 30 minute window).
🤝 It’s now possible to configure Skyhooks remotely through the ‘My Orbital Skyhooks’ page.

Wormholes:

Wandering k-space wormhole connections have been added to C4 wormhole systems:
- S047 will connect to high-sec systems.
- N290 will connect to low-sec systems.
- K329 will connect to null-sec systems.
- Each of these new wormholes will be battleship-sized.
- These wormholes will be significantly rarer than those found in C5 and C6 systems.
Z142 and C248 wormholes will now spawn more frequently.
Scan levels for certain wormholes have been changed:
- Wandering wormholes Z647, D382, U574, V753, V911, and W237 from level 1 to level 2.
- Wandering wormholes O477, Y683, E175, and Z457 from level 2 to level 1.
- Wandering wormholes R474 and B274 from level 3 to level 2.
- Wormhole S199 within low-sec from level 2 to level 3.
- Wormhole M267 from level 3 to level 2.
J492 wormholes will now appear within wormhole systems.

The goal for these new(-ish) C4 wormholes and increased frequency of Z142 and C248 wormholes is to give residents access to more content opportunities. In addition, those in C4s may occasionally luck into a direct to high-sec connection!
Scan levels have been tweaked for both consistency and usability. Any wormhole that can appear as both static and wandering will now use different scan levels so they are more easily distinguishable.

Information window descriptions for wormholes have been updated:
- The messages for the wormhole’s destination, maximum ship size, lifetime, and mass stability have been simplified.
- Lifetime and Mass Stability messages now include color for improved readability.
- A 1-hour remaining lifetime message has been added.
- A Drifter wormhole destination message has been added.
- A C13 wormhole destination message has been added.

This change aims to improve the readability of wormhole messaging and remove an unintuitive barrier for newer players. Messages will no longer need to be decoded and can now be read as plain text. The new destination messages have been added to make them more clearly distinct from C1-C3 wormholes. These additions should still leave plenty of room for mastery, such as learning to narrow down locations further via wormhole names or appearances.
The 1-hour remaining message gives players a bit more clarity to the level of risk they are taking when jumping through a wormhole near its end of life. This should be especially useful for those jumping through frigate wormholes.

The warp-in and spawn points within C2 cosmic anomaly sites have been adjusted.
The targeting prioritization for Capital Escalation site Drifter NPCs is now much more varied.
The value of loot dropped from Upgraded Avenger NPCs has increased to 50m ISK (from 35m).
Deepflow Rift sites will no longer spawn within wormholes.

Many of the spawn points found in C2 cosmic anomaly sites were extremely far apart. This resulted in a lot of time within the site being dedicated to just moving between locations. Having the spawns closer together makes running these sites more enjoyable and rewarding.
Capital Escalation site Drifters often focused logistics ships when present, making it easier for higher value ships to avoid danger. These NPCs are now much more likely to vary the kinds of ships they target.
Upgraded Avenger NPCs will only appear and remain within a Capital Escalation site that has been escalated. Increasing the rewards earned by defeating these NPCs further encourages the use of capitals for this content, creating more juicy targets out in space.
Deepflows Rifts have generally been considered out-of-place within the wormhole ecosystem and as such have been removed. Already existing sites will remain but will not respawn once completed.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Rorquals, FAX and Jump Freighters will now be blocked from sites which disallow other capital ships from entering.
The Retriever is now shown on the Astrogeology skill as ‘required for’ at level 3 like the other 2 mining barges.
Fixed a Sansha NPC showing up in the Serpentis Variation of the ‘Violent Expulsion’ level 1 mission.
Fixed Angel Sentry towers being used in the Serpentis Rally Point instead of Serpentis sentry towers.

Localization:

Fixed a typo in the name of the Consortium Vorton Tuning System.
Fixed a typo in the name of the Ship Restrictions for the Pirate Interception missions.
Fixed the name of Mordu’s Legion in the Outer Ring region description.
Fixed a typo in the Delve region description.

Pochven:

Fixed a very rare issue where a second Gallente Dreadnought could appear within Observatory Flashpoint sites.
NPCs within Observatory Flashpoints and smaller-scale sites will now correctly orbit within their EWAR effect ranges.
Drifter and Sleeper NPCs with remote repair effects can now repair their allies.

Patch Notes for 2025-09-08.1

Defect Fixes:

Graphics:

Fixed an issue on the Hrada Oki Offender, Sponsored Security, and Azdaja Extirpated SKIN lines where various VFX were missing.
Ship previews in the Paragon Hub no longer appear misaligned.

Technical:

Fixed a Mac client crash when trying to display some corp descriptions or character biographies.

User Interface:

Fixed an issue that caused the UI to overlap on fast checkout.
Fixed an issue that caused the cinematic Omega screen to trigger in space while extending Omega status. This screen should now only appear when upgrading from Alpha to Omega.

Patch Notes for 2025-09-01.1

Features & Changes:

Technical

We've updated the way our physics engine, Destiny, sends updates to clients. This won't have any effect on current performance, but will better enable us to make further optimization of Destiny updates in the future.
- This update was rolled back to version 2025-08-27.1 at 12:52 after a graphical issue was discovered. Will keep you updated on when it returns!

Patch Notes for 2025-08-27.1

Features & Changes:

Audio:

The Visual Damage System and hangar Fire BOBs are accompanied by audio, so you can enjoy the sound of your ship as it burns, ignites or gets extinguished. Fire audio adapts to ship speed.

Graphics:

Smart-Light-System

Introduction of the new Smart-Light-System to improve ship lighting performance and reactivity.
- Smart-Light-Sets handle all components for light prefabs, including flares, point lights, cone lights, and beam effects.
  - They inherit colors from SOF and can change dynamically based on variables and states they are authored to.
  - Optimized for better system performance and fewer draw calls.
  - Allows shared visual “recipes” per race/faction, triggered by ship state (e.g., warp, docking, combat).
  - Supports animated instanced meshes for future space scene effects such as debris fields and enhanced explosion debris.
- The first batch of ships utilizing the Smart-Light-System in this update is: all cruisers.

Visual Damage System

Smoke & Fire VFX have finally returned for ships in hull damage (player ships as well as NPC’s), their last known sighting was sometime pre-EVE: Trinity expansion.
- Fires appear at specific hull thresholds and respond dynamically to ship movement (always starting though when entering hull damage).
- Fire VFX are disabled on Medium/Low shader settings to maintain fleet fight performance, and do not load at all.
- Smaller ships have larger fires in relation to ship size, and the larger the ship, the more fires there are (smaller in size in relation to the ship), going up to 7 fires on a titan.
Smoke & Fire VFX have also now been added to structures that made sense to start with: Citadels, Refineries, Moon Miners, Skyhooks, Navigation Structures, Industrial Arrays, and Outposts.
- Here 10 fires will appear, roughly corresponding to each 10% of Hull damage (as there is a chance a fire can spawn twice in one location).
- As with Ship fires, these exist only on High Shader Quality.

New Hangar Visualizations

Fire BOBs: When a ship enters a hangar with hull damage and thereby with fires, Fire BOBs will fly into the rescue to put out the fires, making sure your egregious lack of proper fire containment safety protocol does not spread to the rest of the station.
- If you undock without repairing hull damage, then fires will re-ignite.
- Extinguished fires will continue to emit gas/smoke until such a time you repair the ship.
Repair BOBs: When you utilize in-hangar repair, Repair BOBs will fly in from all directions and repair your ship over a period of 30 seconds.
- This is purely visual, if you undock immediately after the repair goes through then you will undock repaired.
- This will only happen for full repairs, partial repairs will not trigger animations.
Repair and Fire BOBs have models and color schemes corresponding to the station owner’s faction. Fire BOBs (of course) all have the fire engine color scheme of Iceland.

Patch Notes for 2025-08-18.1

Features & Changes:

Graphics:

Upscaling

Upscaling is a rendering technique that allows the game to be drawn at a lower resolution and then intelligently scaled up to match your display’s native resolution. This reduces the workload on your graphics card, helping to improve performance while maintaining high-quality visuals. The result is smoother gameplay with higher frame rates, particularly valuable in large fleet fights or other demanding scenarios where your system may be limited by GPU performance. Upscaling is particularly effective for players using lower- and mid-range graphics cards who want to run at higher resolutions or graphical settings than would otherwise be viable.

Frame generation takes the upscaling process one step further by creating an additional frame where possible, increasing the frame rate further.

Modern upscaling techniques have come a long way since we since we introduced FSR 1 with Uprising in 2022. This update brings more up-to-date solutions from NVIDIA, AMD, Intel and Apple.

Beyond performance improvements, upscaling can also reduce power usage. By lowering the load on the GPU, it helps keep systems cooler and, on mobile or portable setups such as laptops, can extend battery life. This makes upscaling not only a performance booster but also a useful tool for players who want to balance visual fidelity with system efficiency.

Windows

The client must be running in DX12 for the following upscalers to work. The available upscalers are:

NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution with Frame Generation. The version of DLSS Super Resolution that is available will depend on your NVIDIA hardware and OS settings. If your system has a GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU, then the latest DLSS 4 Super Resolution is supported. DLSS is an NVIDIA only solution that is recommended for NVIDIA users.
FSR 3 with Frame Generation. It supports the AMD Radeon™ RX 5000 Series and above, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20 Series and above and Intel Arc Alchemist GPUs. FSR 3 is recommended for AMD based GPUs.
- If you have a slightly older GPU, then FSR 3 without frame generation will work on the AMD Radeon™ RX 590 and above and the NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 10 Series and above.
Intel XeSS 2 is supported by the Intel Arc Alchemist series, Intel Xe-LP integrated graphics, AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series and above, and the NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 10 Series and above. XeSS is recommended for Intel based GPUs.
The existing AMD FSR 1 solution. This provides a basic upscaling option for older hardware and operating systems that don’t have the required features to support a more modern solution. It is available in both DirectX 11 and 12.

macOS

macOS 13 (Ventura) and above has a high performance upscaler supplied by Apple called “MetalFX”. While available for both Intel and Apple Silicon based systems, Apple Silicon benefits from a more advanced version that has a higher quality output.
FSR 1 has been deprecated on macOS systems - on some systems you may need to manually select MetalFX.

General upscaling notes

Some settings such as Anti-Aliasing will be disabled by some upscalers. This is intended, as this happens as part of the upscaling process.
Upscaling can only give you more FPS when the GPU is the limiting factor in your system.
There is no ‘best’ upscaling technique that is recommended for every client due to the vast number of computer configurations and in-game activities. We encourage you to experiment with the different upscaling solutions and choose one you are happy with.
The “Upscaling Setting” will allow you to vary the image quality against performance. It is normal to get small visual differences between non-upscaled and upscaled renders. In some situations, frame generation may introduce some small artifacts but allow for a higher frame rate.
If V-sync does not behave as you expect, try toggling ‘hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling’ in Windows. Let us know on the forum if this impacts you.

Ray tracing

Ray tracing is a modern rendering technique that simulates the physical behavior of light. Instead of relying on approximations, it calculates how rays of light travel from a source, interact with objects, and ultimately reach the camera. This makes lighting and shadows appear more natural, precise, and consistent with how light behaves in the real world.

For EVE Online, ray tracing is applied specifically to shadows, further improving the shadow system introduced in 2023. Raytraced shadows provide far greater accuracy than older methods, producing sharper edges, smoother gradients, and dynamic changes that reflect the movement of ships, stations, and other objects.

Raytraced shadows are an optional feature that can be enabled in the client’s graphics settings by selecting “Raytraced” under “Shadow Quality.” It is supported on the following systems:

Windows

Windows 10, October 2018 Update (version 1809) and above
Windows 11
A GPU which supports DirectX Raytracing (DXR)
- NVIDIA RTX 20 Series and above
- AMD Radeon RX 6000 series and above
- Intel Arc Alchemist series

macOS

macOS 12 Monterey or above
An Apple Silicon based system

Patch Notes for 2025-08-14.1

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Fixed not being able to use the ‘board my corvette’ button, if you just logged into a station without changing ships or undocking at some point earlier.

Patch Notes for 2025-08-12.1

Features & Changes:

Air Daily Goal:

5th Air Daily Goal

As part of the refinement for the Air Daily Goal System, we are adding a new daily goal “Complete 3 jumps”. This goal will appear as the 5th daily goal that is always available, repeating every day alongside the four career-specific goals. Unlike other goals, it isn't tied to a specific career.

The goal is simple and universal, so it's easier for players - new or experienced - to reach their daily bonus SP and progress on the monthly reward track.

Objective: Jump between systems in space 3 times.

How it works:
- Each jump contributes to the goal, whether it’s to a new system or back and forth between the same systems.
Jump Types That Count:
- Stargates
- Ansiblex Jump Gates
- Shipcasters
- Wormholes
- Jump Drives
- Jump Filaments (Such as needlejack, pochven or event filaments)

You can make progress whether you´re running missions, exploring new systems or simply taking a quick trip.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Fixed the Meta Level and the Tech Level of the Babaroga being incorrect in static data and the compare tool.
Fixed Simulated ships not showing hardpoints being filled if clicking the show info button in the fitting simulation window and looking at the fitting tab, and also added the status bars for fittings.

Graphics:

Potentially fixed an issue where visual effects for remote repairs (ie. remote armor repair, shield boosters, etc.) would persist after the repairing player or NPC is destroyed.

Technical:

A randomly occurring rare crash during warp and jumping has been fixed.
CPU performance has been improved for areas that contain a large amount of ships.
The number of threads a background client uses has been adjusted. This can result in better overall performance in situations where several applications are competing for CPU time. On some systems, this can help when running lots of game clients at the same time.
General performance has been improved on higher end Apple Silicon systems, such as the M1 Max.

User Interface:

Removed the 'Recruitment' UI Pointer as that window no longer exists.
The 'Favourites' Map Filter UI Pointer now says: "This element is not on your screen" if you click on it with the world map open, and no favourites set, instead of leading to random places.
Fixed UI Pointers tooltip text being duplicated if the window did not have enough width to display the full pointer name.

Patch Notes for 2025-08-01.1

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

The medium-sized Mordunium Deposits will now rarely appear in lowsec non-FW systems instead of the Small Mordunium Deposit, as it was meant to be.
Additionally, the Small Mordunium Deposit will now rarely appear in highsec 0.5 systems which border lowsec.
Sites that were already spawned before downtime may remain in their incorrect locations until they are mined out.

The Mordunium yearns to be mined. In yesterday's update, the Mordunium Deposits and the Small Mordunium spawn locations were flipped. The additional larger sites will now be spawning in lowsec, with the smaller additional sites in highsec.

Patch Notes for 2025-07-31.1

Features & Changes:

Balancing:

Pyerite Balance

Scordite - Pyerite reprocessing amount has been improved by approximately 10%.
Mordunium - Pyerite reprocessing amount has been improved by approximately 10%.
Small Mordunium Deposits will now appear in non FW lowsec systems as an uncommon site.
Medium Mordunium Deposits will now rarely appear in 0.5 systems bordering low security space.

In a continuing effort to curb the current price and supply trend of Pyerite, we're making a few more small tweaks to the ecosystem. We're happy with the previous change to the yield of Scordite and Mordunium as they were helpful without creating any destabilization, so we're going to keep nudging it up a little further.
However, that won't solve the universes needs for Pyerite alone so we're going to add a few more sources of Mordunium to Highsec border systems and to non-Factional Warfare Lowsec systems.
We anticipate this will require further iteration and not be just a quick fix. As always we'll be monitoring and looking for further opportunities to tune in the future.

Item	Old Reprocessing Amount	New Reprocessing Amount
Scordite	99	110
Condensed Scordite	103	114
Massive Scordite	110	119
Glossy Scordite	114	125
Mordunium	88	97
Plum Mordunium	92	101
Prize Mordunium	97	107
Plunder Mordunium	101	112

Patch Notes for 2025-07-17.1

Features & Changes:

Balancing:

Fewer proximity mines will now spawn within AEGIS Capital Ship Security Facility sites on average.
Ghost Sites have had a number of updates:
- NPC guards will now take longer to arrive on average.
- The variance in NPC guard arrival times has been decreased significantly.
- The time between NPC guard arrival and container detonation is now always 30 seconds.
- Added info Panel objectives to show hacking progress and time-to-detonation on NPC guard arrival.
The chance for players to receive capital control items has been increased in Lesser and Standard Covert Research Sites (Ghost Sites).
Dented Storage Depots found in Sleeper Cache exploration sites now have a very rare chance to drop capital control items.
The volume of the Counter-Subversion Sensor Array item has been lowered from 20m3 to 2m3.
The volume of the Nanoscale Filter Plate item has been lowered from 5m3 to 1m3.
The Overmind Nursery Nest Wreck found in Pochven no longer drops Enhanced Electro-Neural Signallers when salvaged, and now drops red loot instead.

As we look to alleviate bottlenecks which currently affect capital and supercapital industry, we are updating exploration sites which drop these industry's components. The aim of these changes is to make such sites more accessible and consistent for players.
Additionally, we have also rebalanced the drop chances and amounts of these items. We will continue to monitor the impact of these changes and respond with any other changes that may be necessary. Additionally, Enhanced Electro-Neural Signallers have been removed from Overmind Nursery Groves sites within Pochven and replaced with red loot of equivalent value. This component can still be found in other sites.
Lastly, as exploration activities thrive on jackpot-moments, we have added capital and supercapital components as rare bonus loot in all sleeper caches!

Freelance Jobs:

Deliver Jobs now include a warning if the job issuer is asking for a delivery in a location you can’t dock at.
Deliver Jobs now include a comparison between the set reward price per delivered item and the average universal price.

Science & Industry:

The SCC charge for research jobs is now 50% of the baseline SCC charge.
- This means that, instead of the 4% SCC charge, research jobs will now cost 2% SCC charge.

We’re making an adjustment to the SCC tax specifically for blueprint research jobs to help new industrialists catch up to existing ones that already have fully researched blueprints.

Defect Fixes:

Freelance Jobs:

Fixed an issue where tracked Freelance jobs would automatically become untracked and disappear from the Opportunities info panel.
Fixed an issue where searching for Assets in Capsuleer Deliveries through the Corporation window would fail to work.
Fixed an issue in the Create Freelance Job form where already-selected locations were still available for selection in the dropdown options for Destination and Available Broadcast Locations.
Updated and clarified a few error messages.

Graphics:

Fixed an issue where the strip miner impact VFX was clipping with asteroids.
Fixed an issue where the orbit camera for the Babaroga was misaligned.
Fixed an issue were the Alliance Emblem placement on the Lachesis hull was misplaced.

Patch Notes for 2025-07-16.1

- Consortium Capital Tractor Beam.
- Capital Micro Jump Drive.
- Capital Micro Jump Drive Field Generator.
- Strategos' Modified Siege Module.
- Xarasier Capital Micro Jump Drive.
- Xarasier Capital Ancillary Shield Booster.
- Xarasier Capital Ancillary Armor Repairer.

Patch Notes for 2025-07-14.1

Defect Fixes:

Freelance Jobs:

Fixed an issue where it was possible to create Deliver jobs for unsupported item categories.

Patch Notes for 2025-07-10.1

Features & Changes:

Freelance Jobs:

New contribution method “Deliver” added to Freelance Jobs.
- New method that allows creating Freelance Jobs asking other capsuleers to deliver items to your corporation.
- Corporations can set any station or structure with a rented office as a delivery location.
- Multiple delivery locations can be selected at the same time.
- Corporations can specify item type or group to be delivered.
- Delivery is connected to a specific job, allowing for concurrent jobs to deliver the same item type, this makes sure that the same contribution isn’t counted for multiple jobs at the same time.
- Freelancers complete deliveries by dragging desired items into the Freelance Job window’s drop box.
New corporation hangar - “Capsuleer Deliveries”.
- This hangar will contain any items capsuleers have delivered to your corporation via the “Deliver” freelance job.
- Director and Project Manager roles can access this hangar.

Freelance Jobs Known Issues:

In the Create Freelance Job window it's possible to set the delivery location to structures that are abandoned or low power, which will prevent the job from being created.

Defect Fixes:

User Interface:

Fixed issue with market filters that caused global PLEX market orders to not show.

Patch Notes for 2025-07-09.1

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Fixed an issue where there was no ambient sound in some stations.

Patch Notes for 2025-07-08.1

Defect Fixes:

Localization:

Fixed missing localization for error messages in the global PLEX market.

Patch Notes for 2025-07-07.1

Features & Changes:

Market:

Introducing the Global PLEX Market, a unified, galaxy-wide market to make PLEX accessible from nearly anywhere in space.

All PLEX buy and sell orders are now pooled into a single global order book, dramatically improving liquidity and price transparency. Purchases are delivered directly to your Vault, eliminating the need for travel or regional market friction. This change streamlines PLEX trading across New Eden, making it faster, simpler, and more efficient than ever.

Global PLEX market prices will be visible in private structures (e.g. citadels and keepstars) across New Eden, but trading from private structures with ACL restrictions will remain the same; you will not be able to buy items from, or sell items to, orders in stations that you cannot access. Listing taxes are still based on standings and location, no changes here.

All outstanding PLEX orders were cancelled, and fees will be reimbursed within a few days.

Patch Notes for 2025-07-01.1

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Fixed a bug which could cause some players signed up for the Pirate FW faction through non Direct Enlistment methods (I.e. whole corp/alliance in the militia, or the player in the Commando Guri/Malakim Zealots NPC corporations) to not get warned and kicked for going below -2.0 standings.
- Any corps or players who now are under -2.0 will get a warning after the day of this deployment, and kicked if not fixed within 24 hours at tomorrows downtime.

Graphics:

Fixed damage decals flickering in some situations.

Technical:

Fixed a crash that could occur on some old Intel onboard GPUs. If you use an Intel GPU, making sure you’re on the latest drivers can improve stability significantly. We recommend that you use the driver update tool from Intel: Download Intel Drivers and Software.

User Interface:

Resolved an issue where certain columns in the Compare Tool displayed incorrect information.
Fixed a bug causing some filters selected in the Compare Tool to appear active in the Fitting Window.
Fixed an issue in the Compare Tool preventing the cogwheel menu from opening in horizontal view mode.
Added a new filter to toggle attribute visibility in both horizontal and vertical views of the Compare Tool.

Patch Notes for 2025-06-26.1

Features & Changes:

Pochven:

Additional adjustments to Rogue Drone standings values have been made.
- Notably, Rogue Drone Battleship, Carrier, and Supercarrier NPCs have had their standings values increased significantly.
Rogue Drone battleships will now appear more frequently within Incipient Drone Swarm sites.

The addition of site standings rewards (and their derived negatives to EDENCOM) has made Incipient Drone Swam sites less useful to those trying to maintain EDENCOM standing. The above changes give players a more consistent high-value target so standings can be kept net positive.

Liminal Zirnitra NPCs within Observatory Flashpoint and Accelerator Flashpoint sites have been adjusted:
- Their Entropic Disintegators will now have spooling damage.
- Their standings values have been increased.
- They now deal Explosive/Thermal damage rather than EM/Thermal.

Defect Fixes:

Pochven:

EDENCOM dreadnought NPCs within Observatory Flashpoint sites will now orbit the Stellar Observatory more closely.
Sleeper NPCs within Torpid Drone Hive sites will no longer attack other Sleepers.
Fixed an issue where NPCs within smaller-scale Pochven sites could sometimes fail to locate a target.

User Interface:

Fixed an issue which would cause the ‘Local Locations' window to always reopen whenever you undocked or changed systems.
Fixed an issue which would cause the ‘local locations’ window to not remember whether you had decided to hide the search filter or not when you closed it and reopened it.

Patch Notes for 2025-06-24.1

Features & Changes:

Empire Wars:

It’s no longer possible to declare a structure which is already reinforced as a War HQ when declaring war on a corporation or alliance.
Creating an alliance while you have active, offensive wars, will now cause all of the allies involved in those wars to correctly be copied over to the new war that is created when the alliance is formed.

Factional Warfare & Insurgencies:

🤝 Several UI/UX improvements have been made to the Factional Warfare window. The Opacity for text and icons has been decreased, checkboxes have been added to the legend so you can turn off various icons if desired and the background opacity has been increased, which should make it much clearer.
Increased the base LP Payout for capturing an FW Ihub from 40,000 LP to 200,000 LP when a system is flipped.
🤝 Added a new Scout ADV-1 plex as a rare roaming spawn to FW frontline systems which lets all tech 1, tech 2 and faction frigates inside for players who are looking for pirate frigate and assault frigate duels without destroyers being involved.
- LP Reward: 15,000 LP
- Victory Points Reward: 40
🤝 It’s now possible to enlist for the Angel Cartel and the Guristas Pirates from inside the Fulcrum in Zarzakh.
- Note: Since Zarzakh is a dangerous system and has special rules with travel, we do not update your autopilot to go to Zarzakh when you go through the normal enlistment flow even when it is the closest station available.
Insurgencies now spread when a system reaches level 4 corruption, instead of at level 3 corruption.

We are increasing the threshold at which corruption spreads to hopefully contain the insurgency to fewer systems initially, which should focus the fighting a bit more and give empire players more time to react to contain the insurgency if they wish.

To partially address team killing aka 'awoxing' issues within the pirate militias, we are planning on raising the standing requirements to join them from -2.0 to 0.0, just like the empire militias. This will be done in the legion major update which will most likely be released sometime at the end of summer/early fall. We are communicating this now so that corps and players have time to fix standings if needed ahead of time.
- We are also investigating other small potential adjustments to prevent team killing/awoxing in the pirate militias.

The lower requirement to join the pirate militias made sense when we released insurgencies in the Havoc expansion, due to most characters having bad guristas/angel standings through normal PVE gameplay and we expected the pirate militias to be the underdogs in the warzones, however, pirates have dominated the insurgencies and players have now had 18 months to fix their standings, and the vast vast majority of awoxing incidents that occur in FW are specifically from the pirate militias, so we feel comfortable making this change.

Filaments:

Increased the signature radius of Filament traces to 45 (from 30).

Traces will now take less time to scan down. This should make them more tempting targets for hunters without adding any additional time for players waiting at for the trace to open.

Fleets:

🤝 It’s now possible to re-order members of the watch list by dragging and dropping characters from other chat windows. For example, from channel member lists like your logistics channel or from a linked character in the chat etc.
🤝 Added a suppressible warning message when giving a character in a fleet the boss.
🤝 Separated the ‘Kick Member From Fleet’ and the ‘Make Boss’ options, so it’s harder to accidently make someone the boss who you meant to kick, or kick someone you meant to make the boss of the fleet.

Market & Contracts:

🤝 It is now possible to import prices directly into the multisell window from the clipboard to update the price on several types you are planning to sell at once.
- For example, If you wanted to sell veldspar at 10 ISK per unit, scordite at 20 ISK per unit and plagioclase at 30 ISK per unit. You could open a multisell with those asteroids in your hangar by selecting them all and then you could import the following from your clipboard to update all of their prices instead of adjusting each one manually.
- Syntax is (Name of the Type, i.e. Veldspar) followed by the price.

Veldspar 10
Scordite 20
Plagioclase 30

This is a huge timesaver when planning to sell and seed multiple items!

🤝 It is now possible to delete multiple contracts at once.
🤝 Auction contracts will no longer ‘require attention’ that you win, after you’ve claimed your items/ISK, when the other party hasn’t collected their rewards, so you’ll no longer get a notification about it.
🤝 It is now possible to ‘Forget Contract’ for an auction contract which currently ‘Requires Attention’ so that it will no longer pop up if you wish to ignore it, this can happen if you bid on an auction but someone else wins the auction where either party hasn’t collected their rewards yet. This can be done by right clicking the contract under the ‘Requires Attention’ section and choosing the ‘Ignore Contract’ option.
🤝 When making a contract that is requesting items from a player, it’s now possible to import your clipboard for the requested items, similar to multibuy.

Modules:

🤝 Triglavian Entropic Disintegrator weapons now show their current progress towards maximum spool in the tooltip when you mouse over them in space while they’re active, and how long it will take in seconds for them to reach their maximum spool.
🤝 Triglavian Entropic Disintegrator weapons now show their DPS range from starting to max spool in the fitting simulation window when you mouse over the DPS, rather than only showing the starting DPS.

Mining:

The universe has been experiencing a lack of pyerite. This seems to mostly be a consequence of Metenox Moon Drills replacing manual mining from Athanors/Tataras for R4 Ores which provide pyerite as a secondary product. As a response to this issue, we will be increasing the refining yield of scordite to increase its pyerite amount. This aims to empower highsec miners to act on the pyerite shortage, hopefully increasing interest and value for miners in highsec. Mordunium has been increased slightly in order to keep up with scordite.

Scordite Pyerite Reprocessing amount improved by approximately 10%.
- Scordite - Pyerite reprocessing amount increased from 90 to 99.
- Condensed Scordite - Pyerite reprocessing amount increased from 95 to 103.
- Massive Scordite - Pyerite reprocessing amount increased from 99 to 110.
- Glossy Scordite - Pyerite reprocessing amount increased from 104 to 114.
Mordunium - Pyerite Reprocessing amount improved by approximately 5%.
- Mordunium - Pyerite reprocessing amount increased from 84 to 88.
- Plum Mordunium - Pyerite reprocessing amount increased from 88 to 92.
- Prize Mordunium - Pyerite reprocessing amount increased from 92 to 97.
- Plunder Mordunium - Pyerite reprocessing amount increased from 98 to 101.

With the introduction of the Tier 3 mining upgrades and the improvements we made to Tier 2 mining upgrades in the Revenant major update, we ended up overcorrecting the amount of morphite supply available making it more plentiful than we would like, and so we are making adjustments to the respawn time and the availability of the mercoxit deposits tied to Level 2 and 3 sov mining upgrades.

Level 2 mining upgrades:
- Average Mercoxit Deposit chance to spawn has been slightly decreased.
- Average Mercoxit Deposit respawn timer increased from 120 minutes to 155 minutes.
- Guaranteed Large Mercoxit Deposit respawn timer increased from 480 minutes to 670 minutes.
- Level 3 mining upgrades:
  - Large Mercoxit Deposit chance to spawn has been slightly decreased.
  - Large Mercoxit Deposit respawn timer increased from 120 minutes to 240 minutes.
  - Guaranteed Enormous Mercoxit Deposit respawn timer increased from 720 minutes to 1150 minutes.

Planetary Interaction:

🤝 Added an “Access” (Custom Office) button next to the View/WarpTo buttons in the planetary Industry window.

Pochven:

Decreased the time between Dazh Liminality Locus decloaking pulses to 9 minutes.

After seeing the impacts of both short and long decloaking pulses, we are happier with the results of the former. These quick pulses make Pochven CCTV (cloaked alts used to monitor player movements) much more involved and overall seems to be healthy for the region.

Smaller-scale sites have been significantly reworked:
- Reworked sites include Incipient Drone Swarms, Convocation Watchposts, EDENCOM Scout Fleets, and Torpid Sleeper Hives.
- All reworked sites have had their payouts and distribution amounts adjusted.
- Players must now be within 100km of the site’s center on completion to be eligible for rewards.
- NPCs that were outliers in terms of time-to-kill (e.g. Overmind Broodlords) have been removed from these sites.
- Added objectives to the Info Panel that track a site’s progress.
- NPCs will now remember players who have been aggressive to their allies between waves.
- A new hackable container has been added to each site:
  - These containers require a data analyzer to access.
  - This container becomes hackable after the site has been completed.
  - Loot includes commodities that can be sold to NPC buy orders.
  - This is an optional addition and is not required to complete the site.
- EDENCOM Scout Fleets sites can now spawn with variants for each EDENCOM faction:
  - These factions are weighted based on the owner of the system prior to Pochven’s formation.
- Celestial Beacons have been added to the sites to support salvaging.
- NPCs will now return to the site’s center if kited too far away.
- These sites are now deadspace grids, with their warp-in points moved closer to the NPC spawn location.

These changes aim to make the small fleet sites within Pochven worth the time and effort. Players can start with the easy Incipient Drone Swarms and work up to the much more difficult (and rewarding) Torpid Sleeper Hives. With more groups running these sites, the region should be more alive and inviting to smaller gang playstyles.

Vigilance Point sites have been updated:
- A key is now required to open the acceleration gate:
  - Only 1 key will be required to open the gate for a time.
  - This key can be found within Observatory Infiltration Drifter Collections, smaller-scale site hackable containers, and Deepflow Rift Glorified Deepflow Adaptive Canisters.
- Resonance items used within the site can now be found inside Deepflow Rift Glorified Deepflow Adaptive Canisters.
- Payouts for this site within Pochven are now from the Convocation of Triglav.

Players have been able to “reroll” the location of these sites by forcing it to fail. The addition of a key adds a cost to do so. In addition, acquiring key gives an additional incentive for smaller fleets to run content within the region.

Several aspects of Observatory Flashpoint sites have been adjusted:
- Entering the site will no longer require a key:
  - The previous keys will no longer drop from CONCORD Stellar Observatories or be purchasable from NPC sell orders.
  - The previous keys can be traded at Triglavian LP stores for the new Vigilance Point key at a 3:1 ratio.
- 6 instances of the site can now be found within the region.
- A short respawn timer has been added to the site.
- ISK payouts and red loot found within the CONCORD Stellar Observatories have been reduced:
  - A total of 2.25 billion ISK can be gained within the site.
- The frequency of EWAR using EDENCOM NPCs, excluding those with warp scrambles, has been reduced.
- The Caldari EDENCOM dreadnought has been replaced with a Karura.

The addition of personal keys to the site was intended to disincentive groups from going beyond 15 players. This did not have the desired effect and so they are being removed.
Payouts have been reduced to allow for more instances of the site within the region. Having the value spread across Pochven should make it more difficult for a single 50+ character fleet to maintain control.
The Phoenix has been swapped with the Karura to help balance the site against the other empire variants.

Observatory Infiltration sites have had minor improvements:
- Sites are now accessible with Pirate and Navy Cruisers.
- Payouts for the Pochven variant have been slightly increased.
- Lockdown NPCs will take significantly longer to respawn when destroyed.
Triglavian and EDENCOM standings can now be gained by destroying NPCs within Vigilance Point, Observatory Infiltration, Deepflow Rift, and Drifter Crisis sites.
Standings can now be gained with Triglavian corporations when completing specific sites:
- Sites include Incipient Drone Swarms, EDENCOM Scout Fleets, Torpid Sleeper Hives, Observatory Flashpoints, Observatory Infiltrations, and Vigilance Points.
- Standings are granted immediately on site completion and do not impact standings ticks.

These standings will lower brokers' fees and reprocessing fees within Triglavian stations. This allows characters with high standings to operate within Pochven more efficiently, and reduces some of the friction within the region’s ecosystem.

Many NPCs found throughout Pochven have been rebalanced:
- EDENCOM dreadnoughts and Rogue Drone carriers/supercarriers now give additional standings when destroyed.
- Some NPCs have had EWAR added or removed for consistency.
- Various other tweaks have been made to NPCs found throughout the region.

Science & Industry:

🤝 We now show you the number of blueprints that match a filter in the footer of the industry window. This would be very useful when manufacturing from BPCs (tech 2 for example) to track how many blueprints are remaining.

Ships:

🤝 Added the option to keybind a shortcut to open the “Infrastructure Hold” found on the Upwell Haulers and the Avalanche.

Sovereignty:

Meta-Molecular Combiners and Isotropic Deposition Guides have been added as rare drops to the Data and Relic site escalations which come exclusively from the new exploration sovereignty upgrades.
🤝 Increased the duration of the mining escalation obtained from the Level 2 and Level 3 sovereignty upgrades from 6 hours to 24 hours.
🤝 The length of time the ‘Orbital Skyhook Management’ window can be opened and used, which is where players can choose to capture or destroy skyhooks after claiming sovereignty in the solar system, has been increased from 1 hour to 24 hours so executor corp directors don’t have to be immediately available in the solar system when sov is captured.
🤝 Added options to interact with Skyhooks, Sovereignty Hubs and Mercenary Dens to the selected items window.
🤝 It is now possible to search for system and region names in the alliance sovereignty hubs window.
Sovereignty Hubs can now be hacked with Data and Relic Analyzer modules, if successful, then players are given a list of all upgrades currently installed in the Sov Hub, their priority and if they are online or offline.
Increased the time that Skyhooks are raidable from 1 hour to 2 hours.
- Note: This will only take effect for existing Skyhooks after any existing vulnerability timers have already ended and the next one scheduled. It will therefore take until this upcoming Saturday downtime for every single Skyhook to have the 2 hour vulnerability window.
Skyhooks which are about to become vulnerable will now show in the updated world map and the agency, up to 2 hours before they become vulnerable. In the ‘Raidable Skyhooks’ filter under Sovereignty
- Large red circle: Skyhook will become raidable in <10 minutes.
- Orange medium circles: Raidable in 10 minutes to 1 hour.
- Small yellow circles: Raidable in 1 to 2 hours.

Sovereignty combat sites spawned by the major and minor threat arrays and the Level 1 mining sites have been moved over to our new method of distributing sites. This will mean that they will no longer instantly spawn when turning their upgrade on/off at the sovereignty hub, and will now wait their 12 minute/1 hour respawn timers before they first appear.
- The sites spawned by these upgrades will now always respect the time when the last site was completed. This means that the combat sites will continue to instantly respawn as long as the previous site was around for 12 minutes, and the mining sites will still instantly respawn if the previous site was around for 1 hour.

Structures & Deployables:

Metenox Moon Drills now require 3 days (72 hours) to unanchor instead of 45 minutes like other FLEX structures.
Metenox Moon Drills now give a 20 second ‘warp disabled’ debuff when a player damages or activates a module on one, much like other upwell structures.
🤝 POS (Starbases) and Custom Offices now show their reinforcement timestamp in the select items window which you can then copy to the clipboard, just like with upwell structures and skyhooks.
🤝 In the structure browser, on the ‘My Skyhooks’ page, it’s now possible to copy information here to the clipboard.

User Interface:

🤝 You can now see labels that have been assigned to a character/corp/alliance in the show info window, an icon has been added to the portrait that you can hover the mouse cursor over to get the label name in the tooltip.
🤝 In the corporation window you can now copy member standings that are contributing to corp standings.
🤝 The ‘next destination’ color in the overview for stargates/stations etc. has been made brighter so it’s clearer and more noticeable.
🤝 It’s now possible to copy member entries (Characters/Corporations/Alliances etc) to the clipboard from Access Lists (ACLs).
🤝 We no longer show the ‘Unallocated Skill points available’ pointer when you log in to the game, and now only show it when you gain unallocated skillpoints (like after using a skill injector)
🤝 When right clicking a wormhole in space or from the overview - the “Enter Wormhole” option has now been placed near the top at the same location where “Jump” is for stargates, rather than the very bottom option.
🤝 Characters that have Omega status can now optionally remove the full interactable ‘skill details’ tooltip that appears when you mouse over some modules/ships that you don’t have the skills to use and just show a much smaller non-interactable tooltip with basic information instead. This can be done in the inventory menu settings menu found in the right corner.
🤝 Added a new text filter to the locations in current solar system pop-out window which can be optionally disabled, the locations in system window should also no longer ‘eat keyboard shortcuts’ while the window is focused now unless you are typing into the text filter.

Compare Tool:

The Compare tool has undergone a significant redesign. The new layout enables users to locate items directly within the window, eliminating the need to search elsewhere. This improvement simplifies the process of finding the right tools to meet your objectives. Now, comparing items requires less effort, and the distinctions between the attributes being evaluated are clearer. Additionally, the updated layout introduces features for searching, grouping, filtering, and more, further enhancing user experience.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

When a corporation with an offensive war creates an alliance, misleading notifications are no longer sent to all parties involved erroneously claiming that the aggressor is now defending for them.
The Praxis Media Miasma Skin is now correctly in the special battleships market group rather than the Black Ops battleships group.
Several combat sites, such as pochven, FW battlefields and all sovereignty sites have been moved over to our updated way of distributing sites.

Localization:

Celes Aguard is no longer misgendered in the President NPC corporation description.
Updated the colony resources sovereignty upgrades so that they now also explain that they only provide local resources to the upgrades lower in priority than them.
Updated the right click menu of the route function from ‘Jump through jumpgate’ to ‘Jump through jumpbridge’ for Ansiblex.

Fixed a typo in the Gallente COSMOS constellation of Algintal landmark description.

Pochven:

Fixed an issue causing World Ark sites to spawn with too many NPCs following a downtime.
Observatory Flashpoint EDENCOM dreadnought NPCs can no longer be made to drift outside the Threshold Werpost boundary.
NPCs within smaller-scale sites will no longer ignore players until one of their fleet members is destroyed.
Additional NPCs will no longer spawn within smaller-scale sites following a downtime.
Specific items received from an Xordazh Invasion Caches will no longer be unpackaged.
Border Bezdnacine Field sites are now deadspaced like other Pochven mining sites.

User Interface:

Fixed the orientation of the Ascending/Descending triangles in the directional scanner window.

Wormhole Capital Escalations:

Moved the spawn location for Capital Escalations Drifters back to the structure.

Features & Changes:

Miscellaneous:

Three old billboard ads have been removed from the rotation, and three new billboard ads have been added to the rotation.

Technical:

The systems behind Tech 3 ships have been refactored so that they are now comparable to the graphical performance and load of other ships in the game.

Tech 3 ships have always had a higher performance cost than other ships in the game, especially when they are first loaded, and client stuttering can occur. With today's patch, we've been able to reduce the impact these ships have on the game engine to a level that matches most of the other ships in New Eden!

Defect Fixes:

Technical:

Resolved an issue where Mac clients would sometimes experience graphical artifacts.
Fixed several instances of sounds getting ‘stuck’, where they continued to play and follow the ship / camera when they should have stopped.

Corporation Palette

Tired of blending into the void? This is the time for your corporation to stand out above all. Introducing the Corporation Palette - the first steps into allowing corporations to bring their unique identity into New Eden.

Brand Managers will be able to assign between 1 to 3 custom colors to represent their corporation.
These colors will be represented in two key places: Corporation Window and Freelance Jobs (only those created by corporations).
A new Brand Management section in the Corporation Window. You'll find anything related to your corp's visual identity here: logos, structure SKINR, and now Corporation Palette.

Paragon Hub

Base Sequencing Times in SKINR are temporarily set to 10 Minutes. These are still affected by Skills. Times will go back to their original times on June 16th.

Paint your legacy and let New Eden know who your corporation is!

Omega Benefits Window

A new look at Omega - Know your clone status

Introducing the Omega Benefits Window giving Omega a fresh new look designed to help Capsuleers understand and take full advantage of the Omega Clone State.

A detailed breakdown of Omega Benefits.
A streamlined offers section, where you can view and purchase Omega time and subscriptions, whether it's real currency or PLEX.
Your clone state status, so you always know where you stand.

Omega in Neocom

A direct access to the benefits window from the Neocom.
This will be visible to:
- Alpha clones, as a persistent reminder of what Omega can offer.
- Omega clones nearing expiration, giving a timely reminder.
Fully subscribed Omega Capsuleers can still access the benefits window through the Neocom menu.

New Eden Map

The New Eden map has received a usability update focused on making its features easier to access and interact with. Filters are now quicker to reach, map tools are more visible, and new quick action buttons have been added to streamline common tasks. While more changes are planned for the future, this iteration aims to improve day-to-day interaction with the map, reduce friction, and update the underlying UX foundation to better support future improvements.

What has changed:

Filters can now be accessed through a new Filter Bar located at the bottom center of the map, replacing the previous dropdown menu in the map header.
Players can now add filters to their favorites and quickly access or switch between them.
The filter bar can be customized by right-clicking it and selecting Manage Filter Categories, letting players choose which filter groups are shown.
Two new Quick Action buttons have been added to the bottom right of the map. Players can use them to instantly refocus the camera on either their current location or their home station.
A View Mode toggle (shown as a circled "A" icon) lets players switch between the standard 3D view and a more abstract, flattened view of the map.
A new Layout Panel in the bottom left corner gives players more control over how the map is displayed. Options include:
- Grouping the map by system, constellation, or region.
- Highlighting connection lines between systems at different levels.
- Choosing which jump bridge links are visible on the map.
The selected location is shown at the top center of the map. From there, players can focus on a higher-level location or quickly set destination and add waypoint using new quick action buttons.
The map interface is now responsive, with improvements to how it behaves in minimized, floating, or fullscreen modes.
The Pointer Window now allows players to browse available filters and share them in chat with other capsuleers.

Sovereignty / Equinox Expanded

Upgrades that you can install in a sovereignty hub are no longer limited by the maximum potential power in the solar system. This means that you could for example, have all 7 mineral type upgrades installed now, and swap between them through re-prioritizing or offline/onlining them, rather than needing to destroy them to install new ones.

New Exploration Upgrades

We are introducing a new sov upgrade that can generate undetected relic and data signatures.

Exploration Detector 1, 2 and 3.
- These three tiers of Exploration Upgrades will have a combination of data and relic sites and will be available from the Angel Cartel, Blood Raiders, Guristas Pirates, Sansha Nation, Serpentis and Rogue Drone factions.
- These exploration upgrades have a guaranteed chance to spawn several exploration sites between 0 and 5 jumps from the solar system where the upgrade is installed.
- Exploration sites spawned from the sov upgrades all have a small chance to escalate to a brand-new data and relic escalation with the potential for high rewards.
  - Exclusive rewards from the data escalation include blueprint copies for the powerful new “Xarasier” storyline modules for micro jump drives, reactive armor hardeners, ancillary shield boosters and armor repairers, the new hacking focused ‘Wedge’ implant set and the triplot scan acquisition array.
- The higher tier upgrades have an increased number of sites and faster respawn times.

The Exploration Upgrades cost:

Resource Generation Upgrades

We are introducing two new sov upgrades that can generate colony resources by utilizing other colony resources.

Workforce Mecha-Tooling upgrade, available in 3 tiers, which costs power and generates workforce.
Power Monitoring Division upgrades, available in 3 tiers, which costs workforce and generates power.
- Upgrades are mutually exclusive and it’s not possible to have both workforce and power upgrades installed at the same time.

The Resource Generation Upgrades cost:

System Effect Generator Upgrades

We are introducing a new type of upgrade with Legion which players can install in sovereignty hubs to provide a set of bonuses to all ships in the solar system. The upgrades have a very low daily upkeep but a very high onlining cost to discourage swapping them out and toggling them on/off frequently.

Electric Stability Generator
- This generator produces system-wide effects similar to those encountered in Electric environments within Abyssal Deadspace.
- All ships in system: 25% bonus to Capacitor recharge rate, +25% targeting range and Directional Scanner range.
Exotic Stability Generator
- This generator produces system-wide effects similar to those encountered in Exotic environments within Abyssal Deadspace.
- All ships in system: +25% scan resolution, +2 AU/s warp speed.
Gamma Stability Generator
- This generator produces system-wide effects similar to those encountered in Gamma environments within Abyssal Deadspace.
- All ships in system: +5% Shield HP, 5% Shield Booster Effectiveness, +10% Capacitor capacity.
Plasma Stability Generator
- This generator produces system-wide effects similar to those encountered in Plasma environments within Abyssal Deadspace.
- All ships in system: +5% Armor HP, 5% Armor Repairer Effectiveness, +10% bonus to the benefits of overloading modules.

The Stability Generator Upgrades cost:

Skyhook Cost of Conquest

Upon destroying a Sov Hub and conquering a system in Null Sec, players now have the choice to pay ISK to convert any remaining skyhooks within their newly acquired system for the first hour after claiming sov by selecting the ‘manage skyhooks’ option on the sovereignty hub.

For a while now, conquering a system has been very expensive as players must raze it to the ground and then build it back up from 0, and with Equinox, we added another layer to the rebuilding costs in the form of skyhooks. This is aimed to save players time and money to combat some of the rebuilding costs that they are incurring upon system capture.

Equinox Blueprint Conversion

We are converting all old, defunct blueprints from Aegis Sovereignty to be updated with new blueprints applicable to Equinox Sov. This will happen automatically after downtime on May 27th.

Balance Changes

Pirate Faction Dreadnoughts

Reduced the LP and ISK cost of the Caiman and Vehement BPC offers by 50% from 25,000,000,000 ISK and 25,000,000 LP to 12,500,000,000 ISK and 12,500,000 LP.

- Shield Hitpoints increased from 150,000 to 185,000 HP.
- Armor Hitpoints decreased from 120,000 to 107,000 HP.

- Armor Hitpoints increased from 169,000 to 185,000.
- Structure Hitpoints decreased from 169,000 to 153,150.
Vehement:
- Role Bonus for Capital Hybrid Turret Damage increased from 37.5% to 50%.

Remote Repairers

Added a +10% bonus when heating all Remote Armor, Shield and Mutadaptive repairers. (This is in addition to the cycle time bonus they currently have while heated).
This bonus is improved to +15% on T3Cs with the offensive - support processor subsystem from the heat bonus with level 5 skills.

Logistics Cruisers

Oneiros:
- New Bonus - 15% reduction in Armor Plate Mass Penalty per level of Logistics.
- Base Velocity increased from 230 m/s to 245 m/s.
- Agility improved from 0.615x to 0.56x.
- Signature Radius reduced from 70 to 65.
Scimitar:
- New Bonus - 15% reduction in Shield Extender signature radius penalty per level of Logistics.
Basilisk:

Etana:
- New Bonus - 7.5% bonus to Shield Hitpoints gained from Shield Extenders per level of Logistics.
Rabisu:
- New Bonus - 7.5% bonus to Armor Hitpoints gained from Armor Plates per level of Logistics.

Strategic Cruiser Offensive Support Subsystems

In addition to getting more powerful overheating on remote reps, we’re also adding some extra fitting space to the Support Processor subsystems for T3 cruisers.

Legion Offensive - Support Processor Subsystem:
- +75 Powergrid.
Tengu Offensive - Support Processor Subsystem:
- +60 Powergrid.
Proteus Offensive - Support Processor Subsystem:
- +75 Powergrid.
Loki Offensive - Support Processor Subsystem:
- +60 Powergrid.

Savior Implant Set

Now grants an equal amount of reduced capacitor need for remote repairers alongside the reduced cycle time bonus it already has. This will mean that Saviors will no longer increase the capacitor cost per second needed to sustain the higher remote repair throughput they provide to subcapital remote repair modules.

The Savior Implant set was powerful in some circumstances on some specific ships (Nestor and Zarmazd specifically) but was difficult to utilize on other remote repair support ships due to increasing the capacitor burden to maintain their remote reps and had too high of an opportunity cost since you were giving up other potentially useful set implants you could have in their place like Snakes, Amulets, Nirvanas etc. This should make them a more viable option on a lot more logistic ships.

Remote Repair Diminishing Returns Adjustment

We’ve relaxed the diminishing returns formula so that the formula is now slightly less aggressive, and so ships will now receive a higher amount of HP per second when getting repaired by multiple logistics ships at once.
Included below is a graph showing the updated formula in Legion compared to TQ. The graph shows total incoming HP per second for a ship which is receiving T2 Remote Capital Reps from a Triage’d FAX.

As an example
- For a target getting remote repaired by 100 Capital T2 Remote Repair Modules (33 FAXes and some change)
  - TQ = 78440 HP per second incoming.
  - Legion = 97850 HP per second incoming.
  - Which is an increase of just under 25%

Cruisers

Thorax

Powergrid Output improved from 820 to 860 MW.
Maximum Velocity improved from 240 to 250 m/s.

We’re giving the Thorax a bit more thrust and making fitting it feel less tight by improving the powergrid output it has so it’ll be easier to fit higher caliber weapons and have an easier time getting in range for blasters.

Rupture

Medium Projectile damage bonus per level of Minmatar Cruiser increased from 5% to 10%.
Medium Projectile rate of fire per bonus of Minmatar Cruiser replaced with 7.5% bonus to Medium Projectile Tracking Speed per level.
Drone Bay and Bandwidth improved from 30m3 and 30 Mbit/sec to 40m3 and 40 Mbit/sec.

The Rupture felt too similar to the Stabber and was overshadowed by it in most cases, despite having two damage bonuses it actually dealt less DPS overall than the Stabber since the Stabber has a falloff bonus and the Stabber also had an additional missile hardpoint. So we’re slightly reworking the Rupture by replacing the projectile rate of fire bonus with a tracking bonus, and rolling the rate of fire damage bonus into the direct damage bonus it has. This should make the Rupture a more viable alternative to the Stabber when comparing short range AutoCannon fits by giving it a tracking advantage when brawling and improves on the existing strength that it had with artillery fits by improving the alpha and giving it a tracking bonus.

Exequror Navy Issue

Damage bonus per level of Gallente Cruiser reduced from 20% to 17.5% per level.

The Exequror Navy Issue is still overperforming and is still the most used navy cruiser hull even after adjustments in Revenant. So we’re giving it a small slap on the wrist now and will continue to monitor it.

Battlecruisers

Myrmidon Navy Issue

Cargo Capacity increased from 400m3 to 560m3.
Bonus to the strength of web drones now also grants a 10% bonus to web drone hitpoints per level of Gallente Battlecruiser.

Harbinger Navy Issue

Added a new bonus, 10% reduction to the capacitor cost of medium energy turrets per level of Amarr Battlecruiser.

Both the Myrmidon Navy Issue and Harbinger Navy Issue are still being flown much less than all other Navy Combat Battlecruisers even after a small set of buffs we made in Revenant so we’re giving them some more love. The Myrmidon Navy Issue had a smaller cargo-hold than many cruisers despite having a big focus on active tanking so we’re giving it room for a lot more cap charges or whatever else you might like, and adding some more hitpoints to web drones so they can’t be killed off so fast. The Harbinger Navy on the other hand loses the energy turret cap bonus from the regular Harbinger hull which can make it a lot more reliant on capacitor so by bringing the bonus back as an extra 3rd bonus we’re hoping it’ll be more attractive for both PVE and PVP.

Mining Barges

Updated the reprocessed materials on mining barges so they now match the ship blueprints. This will mean that Mining Barges will have more accurate and better insurance payouts.

Factional Warfare & Insurgencies

Reduced the amount of scorched navigation log items needed to turn in for the Navy Scanning Upgrade blueprint copy crates from 100 to 10.

Quality of Life Improvements

🤝 It’s now possible to see how damaged a laser crystal is in your inventory in the tooltip by hovering your mouse cursor over it.

Surgical Strike

Increased the resistances of Energized Membranes, Armor Coatings, Armor Hardeners, Shield Hardeners, and Shield Amplifiers by ~11%.
- Note: This is a full rollback of the Surgical Strike resistance nerfs.

Titans and Supercarriers

Increased the damage of single target Titan Doomday weapons to 2,400,000 (from 2,000,000).
Added a new skillbook, Advanced Doomsday Operation, which increases the damage of Titan super weapons by 7.5% per skill level. Note: This increases damage of single target DD, lance, reaper & boson, but does not increase Lancer dread lance damage.
Increased the Titan Armor Plate and Shield Extender role bonus to 500% (from 300%).
Increased the Supercarrier Armor Plate and Shield Extender role bonus to 400% (from 200%).
Increased the number of salvos a fighter has as follows:
- T1 and T2 Light Fighters: from 12 to 18.
- Faction Light Fighters: from 15 to 20.
- T1 and T2 Heavy Fighters: from 6 to 9.
- T1 Long Range Fighters: from 2 to 3.
- T2 Long Range Fighters: from 3 to 5.
Reduced the damage applied by Space Superiority fighters attacking non-drones and non-fighters to 95% (from 80%).

Titan Doomsday weapons have not kept up with the metagame and have therefore been given a significant buff. The survivability of Titans and Supercarriers has also been increased with stronger Armor Plate and Shield Extender bonuses. Combined, there should be more opportunities for the game’s largest ships to take the field and make a difference.
Fighters will now be more sustainable during engagements, decreasing the time they spend being recalled and rearmed. Space Superiority fighters were applying too well to sub-capital ships and have therefor had their damage to these ships decreased without impacting their anti-fighter role.

Art

Redesigned Cruisers:

Five T1 cruisers and their eleven variants have been graphically redesigned.

Patch Notes for 2025-05-14.1

Features & Changes:

Sovereignty:

Updated the backend sovereignty service in preparation for the legion expansion. Most of these changes should be invisible but the following change will come into effect today.
- Upgrades that are offlined through player actions in the sovereignty hub (like reprioritizing upgrades) will now cause them to go into the Offline state instead of the Low power state. This will mean that players will have to pay the fuel startup costs again on upgrades that are moved offline this way.
- Upgrades that are offlined through external forces, such as running out of resources froma a Skyhook being destroyed, or mercenary den anarchy, will still continue to go into low power mode.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Sovereignty hub upgrades will now correctly consume the hourly fuel they would have used up since the last time the sov hub was simulated if they are destroyed through player choice, instead of returning the reagents to the sovhub after destruction.

Patch Notes for 2025-04-15.1

Features & Changes:

PvE:

Capsuleer Day XXII: Nexus Reckoning is live! This in-game event runs until downtime on May 15th, 2025.

The Drifter Crisis is entering its final stages. In the aftermath of the Race for the Hives - where five factions secured control of Drifter wormholes - those same factions now call on capsuleers to help push their advantage against the Drifter threat.

This event features high-end fleet encounters within the now-occupied Drifter wormholes, alongside a variety of content outside them. Players can expect challenging group content designed for coordinated fleets as well as more accessible activities in line with the seasonal content capsuleers are familiar with.

The core gameplay loop revolves around engaging with sites outside the hives to gather materials and blueprints, which can be used to craft items that grant access to - and provide advantages within - the Drifter wormholes themselves.

A brand-new seasonal challenge track is now available in The Agency. Complete challenges by engaging with a variety of content, including high-end fleet encounters, solo combat and hacking sites, mining and manufacturing. Progress through the reward track to unlock exclusive Drifter-themed SKINs, SKINR components, PLEX and SOCT ships!
Daily login rewards are also active throughout the event! Log in each day to claim Drifter-themed SKINs and SKINR components, boosters, EverMarks, and up to 650,000 Skill Points. Make sure to log in daily from now until May 15th to collect them all!
All 5 Drifter wormholes are now under the control of a Race for the Hives winner. Their grip on these systems is tenuous, relying on the aid of capuleers to help put an end to the Drifter’s machinations. As control wanes, the presence of the Drifters increases. Keep the systems out of their hands at all costs!
Within the occupied systems, the Drifter Hive sites have been replaced with the Reckoning: Labyrinth Complex. Within these sites, a fleet must traverse a randomised path of increasingly difficult challenges to reach their goal. Only through the labyrinth can the nexus be accessed. Keep your eyes peeled and be prepared for some surprises! For those who wish to reach the deepest depths of the maze, a group of 10 pilots is recommended. Up to and including T2 Battlecruisers are permitted within.
The Reckoning: Nexus Point is the true test for those who wish to organise against the Drifter forces. While it promises great rewards to the well-prepared, the threats within may push capsuleers to their limits. A group of 15 pilots is recommended. Like the Labyrinth Complex, T2 Battlecruisers are the largest ship type permitted within this site.
Capsuleers can deliver items to occupation sites within Drifter wormhole systems in return for faction-based rewards!
New landmark sites marking the old Drifter Hive locations have been added to each Drifter wormhole system.
The popular Horizon Siege Point site returns in the form of the Reckoning: Vigilance Point. This site, appearing within Pochven and Shattered Wormhole systems, features several improvements to help foster good fights: drones are now targeted by specific NPCs, the payout range has been reduced to 50km, and micro jump drives no longer function while the wave is active.
New Ore Sites will be spawning in high, low, null security space and Pochven. Refine Tyranite into Eleutrium to be traded for hive system Filaments, Volatile Boosters, and used to manufacture Emission Amplifiers and Limiters.
Sleeper Drone Manufacturing Sites have begun appearing across New Eden. These hostile-infested zones are designed for solo Capsuleers seeking a challenge. Reckoning: Sleeper Forge sites can be found in high-security space and present a lower threat level, though a Battlecruiser is still recommended for safety. Reckoning: Sleeper Foundry sites found in low-security space are significantly more dangerous, and Capsuleers are advised to bring at least a Heavy Assault Cruiser before engaging.
Sleeper relic sites have also begun emerging across New Eden. Reckoning: Sleeper Reserve (high-security space) and Reckoning: Drifter Stockpile (low-security space) conceal valuable relics waiting to be uncovered. Skilled and well-equipped capsuleers—armed with scan probes and relic analyzers—can hack these sites to claim their hidden treasures.
While the Drifter Crisis Interstellar Events are now gone, their Crisis: Field Rescue and Crisis: Observatory Infiltration sites can now be found across Empire-controlled systems. Crisis: Deathless Research Outpost sites can also be found there and within null-security space.
Rewards that can be found by capsuleers within these solo combat and relic sites include valuable Sleeper Protocol Subverter, Drifter themed SKINs and SKINR components, historic capsuleer day SKINs and apparel, limited-time Cerebral Accelerators, boosters and implants.

Defect Fixes:

Graphics:

Fixed an issue where POS shield was appearing yellow/green.

Patch Notes for 2025-04-10.1

Features & Changes:

PvE:

Several improvements have been made to the code that manages site distributions and respawning. These changes are mostly invisible and will enable new content distribution methods in the future, but there is one change to two sets of sites that will be visible immediately:
- Rogue Drone combat anomalies spawned randomly in highsec and Mercoxit mining sites spawned from sovereignty prospecting upgrades will both cluster in unvisited systems less often than before, which will have the effect of increasing the practical visibility of both sets of sites during normal gameplay.

Patch Notes for 2025-04-09.1

Features & Changes:

Zarzakh

Construction complex around the Deathless Shipcaster in Zarzakh has been removed.
Infomorph Decryption Trader and Atavum Research Trader, at Warden site in Zarzakh, have had their graphics updated, to better reflect its Deathless origin.

Defect Fixes:

Graphics:

Fixed an issue with flickering decals on the Enforcer while fitted with the Empyrean Outlaw SKIN.
Fixed spotlights on various Shattered Paradigm SKINs so that their brightness is increased correctly with ship speed.
Fixed flickering smoke trail visual effects on Triglavian Generator wreck.
Various issues with the Aegis, Federal Police, Imperial Police, Republic Police, and State Police SKINs have been fixed: all non-Gallente hulls now have the latest Police VFX and geometry, lights now blink correctly in idle vs. warp state, lights floating off the ship hulls are now attached correctly to the ship.

Technical:

MacOS systems with an AMD GPU and certain graphic settings will no longer crash.
General stability improvements.

Patch Notes for 2025-04-02.1

Defect Fixes:

Technical:

Fixed failing client start by providing proper VC library version.

Patch Notes for 2025-03-31.1

Defect Fixes:

Patch Notes for 2025-03-21.1

Features & Changes:

Miscellaneous:

7 new billboard ads have been added to the rotation.

Defect Fixes:

Technical:

Some Intel integrated graphics cards with outdated drivers had stability issues or would not launch after a recent update. A workaround has been implemented that forces these cards to use DirectX 11, regardless of the setting in the EVE Launcher. If you experience a problem with the client not opening, please update your graphics card drivers. This has resolved the issue in almost all cases. You can usually find the latest drivers on the graphics card manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel). If you have an older system, you should also check the computer manufacturer's website (Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc.)

Patch Notes for 2025-03-19.1

Features & Changes:

Drifter Crisis:

Fleets larger than 2x a site’s optimal size will no longer receive payouts or complete challenges.
- Optimal fleet sizes are shown within a site's Opportunities page.
- For example, if a Lancer Counter Offensive fleet is larger than 10 people, no rewards will be given.
Increased the rift closing timer within Deepflow Rift sites to 18 minutes (from 15).
Added a bonus payout when players retrieve all possible canisters within a Deepflow Rift site.
Increased the amount of points awarded when completing a Vigilant Dreamer challenge.

Sov Anomalies:

Sites will now appear when a Sov Hub upgrade is activated, and you will no longer need to wait until the next downtime for them to spawn - but they will only start to appear after their usual respawn timer.
- For example, if you install a Major Threat III Upgrade, then the sites will start appearing 12 minutes after you have installed and onlined the upgrade.
- An Isogen Prospecting Array II upgrade would take just over 4 hours for the Griemeer deposit to spawn, and 10 hours for the guaranteed Large Mercoxit Deposit to spawn.
Turning off a Sov Hub upgrade before its site spawns will cancel the pending spawn.
Sites will now be removed if their Sov Hub upgrade is turned off, regardless of whether it's in space or pending spawn.

Defect Fixes:

Drifter Crisis:

Deepflow Rift challenges will now progress when a site is completed.

Patch Notes for 2025-03-18.1

Features & Changes:

Graphics:

In this release we are bringing a GPU Driven Pipeline to EVE, allowing for better performance in busy scenes. Read more in the devblog here: EVE Evolved: More FPS for less CPU | EVE Online

To accomplish this, we have made several major low level changes to our graphics engine, Trinity. We have tested this in 3 separate masstests with hundreds of people, along with internal testing across many different configurations, but if you notice anything that looks wrong please press F12 in the client and file a bug report.

We strongly recommend that you update your graphics card drivers to the latest available version.

Balancing:

🤝 The Medium Mercoxit Mining Crystal Optimization I has been renamed to Medium Deep Core Mining Optimization I and now provides a bonus to all Deep Core Miners rather than just Mercoxit Mining Crystals specifically. This will still mean that Deep Core Miners will mine less than standard strip miners for regular ore, but now the bonus will be applied to the new ORE Deep Core Strip Miner which can’t load mining crystals.

Localization:

Paragon Hub - Targeted only at me is now Exclusive Listings.

User Interface:

It’s now possible to set a hotkey for broadcast - Repair Target.
It's now possible to see pinned stations in the asset search window, and hidden stations are now ignored and not shown. (Note: Pinned stations will not always be shown if they don’t meet the criteria of the search, i.e. you have a caldari navy station pinned but search for federation navy).

Defect Fixes:

Graphics:

Image stability when using anti-aliasing has been significantly improved. This reduces the flickering effect that can be seen on thin geometry in the game.
Some small weapons like the Light Neutron Blaster no longer have shadows that occasionally flicker.
When using an IntelARC graphics card and DirectX11, an issue that caused the scene to flicker will no longer happen. Please ensure you’re on the latest graphics drivers for this issue to be resolved completely.
Various client stability improvements.

Gameplay:

Fixed an issue which could cause sites to have a longer respawn time than intended the first time they respawn after being installed.
It’s now possible to store a fleet as a fleet member (It was only working for the boss before).
Travel Filaments can no longer be activated on a deadspace grid.

User Interface:

Fixed issue in which saving an existing SKIN design with a new hull did not update the icon in SKINR.
Fixed an issue that caused excessive brightness on windows when transparency was reduced.

Patch Notes for 2025-03-13.1

Features & Changes:

Drifter Crisis:

The challenges for the Race for the Hives event did not complement the group-focused nature of the content. Some roles were underserved, and some challenges acted as roadblocks. As such, we have decided on an overhaul.

New Race for the Hives challenges have been added:
- These replace the existing challenges.
- Each of the 5 Crisis sites and the Deepflow Rift site have been given a ‘Complete Site’ challenge:
  - Only characters eligible for a site’s payout will be counted as completing the challenge.
  - The points value of each challenge varies, but the overall points per challenge have increased significantly.
- All 6 challenges will be active simultaneously, allowing players to pick the content that suits them.
- Note: existing faction and event track progress will not be affected by these changes.
Contribution earned when salvaging Battle Wreckage within Field Rescue sites has been greatly increased.
- Note: the top contributing fleet will earn the site’s payout.

User Interface:

🤝 It’s now possible to use Broadcast Repair Target from the right click menu in the watchlist.

Defect Fixes:

Drifter Crisis:

Fixed an issue that could cause Obliviating NPCs to not attack within Deathless Research Outpost sites.

Gameplay:

Fixed not being able to swap to Invention jobs in the Industry window.

User Interface:

The Navy Scan Rangefinding Array module now correctly has a variations tab.

Patch Notes for 2025-03-12.1

Features & Changes:

Ansiblex Gates & Force Projection:

Ansiblex Jump Gates
- It’s no longer possible to use an Ansiblex while warp disrupted or inside a bubble.
  - Ansiblex Jump Gates have been renamed to Ansiblex Jump Bridges for more clarity on not being able to use them while warp disrupted anymore.
- Reduced the Radius attribute on the Ansiblex Jump Bridge from 13,000m to 7,000m.
  - This will mean that it now takes up much less volume/area in space and will be easier to camp with warp disruptors and bubbles.
- Ansiblex Bridges no longer auto-repair, no longer have a damage cap and now use the same reinforcement flow as Metenox Moon Drills.
  - Ansiblex HP values and resistances have been rebalanced following this change, to provide an increase to their total EHP while giving them higher resistances and lower flat HP to make them easier to remote repair for logistics pilots.
    - Shield HP and Armor reduced from 750,000 HP to 500,000 HP.
      - (Note: These are increased by 4x when it is high power).
    - Shield and Armor Resistances increased from 20% to 75%.
    - Structure Hitpoints increased from 3,000,000 HP to 12,000,000 HP.
- Ansiblex Bridges can no longer be placed closer than 100,000km to stargates.
  - Existing Ansiblex Bridges will be grandfathered into their current locations, but once destroyed, they will need to be placed at least 100,000km away from the nearest stargate to be replaced.

We’re making a number of changes to Ansiblex Bridges to limit their force projection power. We’re doing that primarily through giving players more agency by making them more difficult or dangerous to use in contested space, removing the damage cap and requiring them to be manually repaired just like Metenox Moon drills, and requiring new Ansiblex bridges to be placed off grid from stargates to make scouting from the gate harder, rather than introducing new systems or mechanics which limits their use such as jump fatigue.
Our goal with these changes is to make sure nullsec line members and sov holders are still able to use Ansiblex bridges to access the core space that their alliance controls, so that they can still efficiently do daily activities such as mining, ratting, PI, Mercenary Dens, refueling and logistics work without impeding them with a system like fatigue. While opening up more gameplay options to counter force projection, such as delaying responses and fleets with defensive Interdictor and bubble usage, making them more dangerous through increasing the ability for players to setup traps like bombing runs and pipebombs, and to give more options to raiders and roaming gangs by making them easier to camp, and increasing the burden of maintaining distant Ansiblex gates outside of the alliances core space.

Ship Warp Speed Changes:

The warp speeds of all ships have been adjusted to bring them all together for similar sizes of ships.

Overtime, we’ve adjusted and rebalanced different ship class warp speeds, most recently in 2019 and they are now fairly inconsistent with some ships like Heavy Assault Cruisers having the same warp speed as Stealth Bomber Frigates and Tech 1 Destroyers, while industrial ships such as haulers and mining barges which are also the same size (M) are slower than some battleships.
This can make it difficult for new players to understand the relationship of warp speeds between different size classes of ships and Tech II ships currently have faster warp speeds than Tech I ships, even when it doesn’t always make sense for their specialized role, like the above-mentioned heavy assault cruisers warping faster than regular cruisers. Tech II ships from the size above are also competing with the tech I and navy size below for warp speeds, which makes it is harder to justify bringing smaller classes of ships. This also contributes to unhealthy ‘force projection’ since stronger, more powerful ships, are also able to cross the universe faster.

We have made the following changes to address these issues.

Grouped up all ships based on their size, such as Small, Medium, Large and Capital. Removing the 10% or +0.5AU/s bonus from Tech II ships.
Ships that are slightly bigger than this size category, such as Destroyers for small, Battlecruisers and Haulers for Medium etc. are placed in a plus sized group.
- This leaves us with just 7 base warp speed tiers rather than the current 13!
Tech II ships which need the increased warp speed for performing their specialization, such as Interceptors and Interdictors, have been given role bonuses to warp speed to keep their current warp speeds about the same while making these ships easier to identify for new players.
The Net result from these changes are that Titans, Freighters, Mining Barges, Exhumers, Haulers will now warp 10-15% faster, The Porpoise and the Orca get improvements of 25-30% and most Tech II ships which are not specialized will warp slightly slower.

Below is a table with the new warp speeds for every class and size of ships:

Size	Ship Class	Warp Speed	Notes
S	All Frigates and shuttles	5.0 AU/s	Covert Ops & Interceptors gain 60% warp speed role bonus
S+	All Destroyers	4.5 AU/s	Interdictors gain 25% warp speed role bonus
M	All Cruisers	4.0 AU/s
M+	All Haulers, Mining Barges, Exhumers, Battlecruisers, Porpoise	3.5 AU/s	Agility focused Haulers get 30% warp speed role bonus Blockade Runners gain 75% warp speed role bonus
L	All Battleships	3.0 AU/s
L+	Orca	2.5 AU/s
Cap	All Caps	1.5 AU/s

Included below are the old warp speed tiers for reference:

Ship Sizes	Ship Groups	Warp Speed
S	Interceptor, Covert Ops	8.0 AU/s
M	Blockade Runner	6.0 AU/s
S / S+	Assault Frigate, Electronic Attack Frigate, Expedition Frigate, Logistics Frigate, Interdictor, Command Destroyer	5.5 AU/s
S	Frigate, Mining Frigate, Shuttle	5.0 AU/s
S / S+ / M	Stealth Bomber, Destroyer, Tactical Destroyer, Heavy Assault Cruiser, Heavy Interdictor, Recon Ship, Logistics Cruiser, Agility focused haulers	4.5 AU/s
M / M+	Cruiser, Command Ship, Stategic Cruiser	4.0 AU/s
M+ / L	Battlecruiser, Black Ops	3.5 AU/s
M	Deep Space Transport, Exhumer	3.3 AU/s
M / L	Mining Barge, Capacity and specialized bay Hauler, Battleship, Marauder	3.0 AU/s
M+	Porpoise	2.7 AU/s
L+, Cap	Orca, Lancer Dread	2.0 AU/s
Cap	Dreadnought, Carrier, FAX, Supercarrier, Jump Freighter, Rorqual	1.5 AU/s
Cap+	Freighter, Titan	1.37 AU/s

Additionally, Capsules will now warp at 4.0 AU/s to match cruisers, which is what they did before the 2019 warp speed increase for Cruisers.
- We are not buffing the warp speed of corvettes at this time, which still warp at 3.0 AU/s, to make sure we do not obsolete shuttles and tech I frigates as travel options.

Filaments:

A spool-up timer has been added to all travel filaments (Triglavian Space, Needlejack, and Ice Storm).
A Filament Trace will appear next to the travel filament’s owner on activation:
- Nearby fleet members without capsuleer log-off timers will become linked to the trace as it appears.
- Characters will unlink from a trace if they cloak, change ship, or go beyond 30km of the trace.
  - A link cannot be reestablished once broken.
- If the filament’s owner unlinks from the trace, it immediately closes.
- Traces can be scanned with combat probes or d-scan.
After the spool-up completes, the filament’s owner can jump all characters which remain linked to it:
- Warp disrupted players will not be jumped.
  - Filament owners will be given a confirmation prompt if characters will be left behind.
- Traces will close after 15 minutes have passed since it first appeared.
Travel filaments can no longer be used on a deadspace grid.

Filaments have long been a powerful tool for both fast travel and escaping dangerous situations. The addition of a spool-up timer and scannable traces aims to add risk and enable counterplay.

Below is a table with the new filament spool-up timers:

Filament	Spool-up Timer
Standard 1-character filaments	15 seconds
Standard 5-character filaments	30 seconds
Standard 15-character filaments	60 seconds
Standard 25-character filaments	90 seconds
Pochven ‘Extraction’ 5-character filaments	120 seconds
Pochven ‘Extraction’ 15-character filaments	180 seconds
Pochven ‘Devana' 1-character filaments	60 seconds
Pochven ‘Devana' 5-character filaments	90 seconds
Pochven ‘Devana' 15-character filaments	150 seconds

Balancing:

Eos
- 10% bonus to drone damage and hitpoints per level of Gallente battlecruiser has now been split into 2 separate bonuses.
  - 10% bonus to heavy drone, medium drone, and light drone hitpoints and damage.
  - 5% bonus to sentry drone damage and hitpoints.
- 7.5% bonus to drone tracking per level of command ships has now been split into 2 separate bonuses.
  - 7.5% bonus to heavy drone, medium drone and light drone tracking.
  - 5% bonus to sentry drone tracking.

We’re making some adjustments to the Eos to specifically target the amount of damage and tracking that it has with sentry drones, while avoiding nerfing regular drone fits. This makes it more similar to the Ishtar which also has lower bonuses for sentry drones.

Orca
- Agility multiplier improved from 2.6x to 2.0x

The Orca had a higher align time than the Rorqual, so we are correcting this by giving it a significant buff to agility which should have it now be more comparable to the Rorqual and a reinforced bulkhead fitted Bowhead. We need to be careful not to obsolete Freighters, Deep Space Transports as hauling platforms but we feel like we can make this change now since both of those classes are also receiving warp speed boosts at the same time.
Taking into the account the 25% warp speed buff that it is getting, it should feel significantly more mobile when travelling between systems and mining locations.

Heavy Interdiction Cruisers
- All HICs can now fit the regular Cynosural Field Generator.
Interdictors
- Reduced the web strength of the Stasis Webification Probes launched by Interdictors from 40% to 20%, to reduce how effective they are against brawlers and sig tanking fleet compositions.
Burst Jammers (ECM Burst)
- Can now only be fitted to Battleship Hulls, Hauler Hulls and Command Ships.
A009 C13 Wormholes reduced lifetime from 16h to 4.5h.

Factional Warfare & Pirate Insurgencies:

The Pirate FOB will now drop 1.5 billion ISK in average in loot.
Regular pirate insurgency roaming NPCs now have a small chance to drop scorched navigation log items which can be turned in at FW LP stores in conjunction with some ISK and LP for a crate containing blueprints for new navy scanning upgrade modules.
Rebalanced the number of pilots that get paid when completing multiplayer reward complexes. The new Schema is as follows:
- Scouts and Smalls are now NVY-2 / PIR-2
- Mediums are now NVY-3 / PIR-3
- Larges are now NVY-4 / PIR-4
- And Opens remain at paying up to 5 players before splitting the rewards.
Players will now need to be inside a FW Battlefield site, and within 200km of the entrance beacon to the site for at least 3 minutes to get paid LP.
Moved structures which were very close to the Amarr FW warp in for the Minmatar Battlefield so they will no longer bump off from it if trying to approach the central capture point.

Fleet Improvements:

🤝 Added an option for the boss to disband the fleet.
🤝 It’s now possible to flag yourself as exempt from conduit jumps and the regroup command.
🤝 It’s now possible to set a max fleet size, and save max fleet size and default squad settings to saved fleet setups
🤝 Added a new broadcast command - Repair Target, which can be used in situations when you want your fleet members to remote repair a deployable structure or a player/npc not in your fleet etc.

Graphics:

🤝 The 4 racial Isotopes from ice products used in fuel and capital ships, such as Oxygen Isotopes, now all have distinct colored icons so you can easily tell what empire they are associated with at a glance.
Added new unique icons for the remaining combat boosters which did not have them.
New unique icons have been added for Sensor Boosters, Remote Sensor Boosters, Signal Amplifiers, Auto-Targeting systems, Passive Targeting Systems and the Networked Sensor Array.
Added new unique icons for the sovereignty hub combat and mining upgrades.

Mining:

New Tier 3 sovereignty mining upgrades have been added! The tier 3 mining locations are designed with Rorquals and large mining fleets in mind, with smaller numbers of asteroids but all of them are very high in volume. Each site contains just under 4x the total ore overall compared to the tier 2 mining sites.
Tier 3 sites have a 10 hour respawn timer.
- Power Cost: 1800
- Workforce Cost: 18100
- Blueprints are available for purchase for 1 billion ISK.
Large Veldspar Deposit
- Total site ore volume = 17,000,000 m3
Large Mordunium Deposit
- Total site ore volume = 25,000,000 m3
Large Kylixium Deposit
- Total site ore volume = 13,000,000 m3
Large Griemeer Deposit
- Total site ore volume = 13,000,000 m3
Large Nocxite Deposit
- Total site ore volume = 13,000,000 m3
Large Hezorime Deposit
- Total site ore volume = 23,000,000 m3
Large Ueganite Deposit:
- Total site ore volume = 16,000,000 m3
The Power cost of Tier 1 and Tier 2 upgrades have been reduced by approximately 10% each.
- Tier 2 Power Cost reduced from 1350 to 1220
- Tier 1 Power Cost reduced from 500 to 450
The Tier 2 nullsec sovereignty hub mining upgrade sites, such as the Grimeer Deposit, have been refactored so that approximately 40% of the asteroids in each site have been removed and their ore contents added to existing asteroids in the site, we have prioritized removing the lower quantity asteroids and tried to make sure there is at least one very large asteroid in each site, we’ve also compacted the asteroid belts to move more asteroids closer together.
Additionally, after this refactor, the amount of ore in the Tier 2 sites has then also been increased by approximately 10-15%.
- This means that now, the average asteroid size in all of the sites has been significantly increased.
The Tier 1 mining upgrade sites have also had their ore contents increased by approximately 10%.
Increased the chance of getting the mining escalation from Tier 2 mining sites by 1.5x
The new Tier 3 sites have approximately 2.5x chance over the improved Tier 2 mining sites to get the mining escalation.
We have a created a new ‘Enormous Mercoxit Deposit’ site which has 4x the amount of Mercoxit in it than the Large Mercoxit Deposit, and much larger asteroids.
- Total site ore volume = 960,000 m3
Tier 3 mining upgrades will give a guaranteed Enormous Mercoxit Deposit into the system with a 12 hour respawn time.
Tier 2 mining upgrades now will also give a guaranteed Large Mercoxit Deposit into the system rather than it being a chance-based spawn, which has an 8 hour respawn time.
Tier 3 mining upgrades now also give a chance to spawn the ‘Large Mercoxit Deposit’ in addition to the guaranteed Enormous Mercoxit Deposit site.
Tier 2 mining upgrades now also give a chance to spawn the ‘Average Mercoxit Deposit’ in addition to the guaranteed Large Mercoxit Deposit site.
Added a new faction ORE Deep Core Strip Miner module which has 0% waste as an option for mining Mercoxit with mining barges and exhumers. It can be obtained from ORE corporation LP stores.
- Cost/Materials to Purchase:
- 37,500,000 ISK
- 56,250 LP
- 1x Modulated Deep Core Strip Miner II
Increased the amount of Pyerite that Mordunium gives when reprocessed.
- Mordunium: 80 → 84
- Plum Mordunium: 84 → 88
- Prize Mordunium: 88 → 92
- Plunder Mordinium: 92 → 96
To help allieviate pressure on R4s and increase the value of Athanors - The magmatic gas fuel cost per hour for a Metenox Moon Drill has been increased from 110 units to 150 units.
Most Mining sites spawned by upgrades will now persist their respawn time across downtimes (i.e. they won’t always respawn at downtime even if they were mined out at 10:59).

Missions & NPCs:

The bounties for NPCs which were increased in the update following Revenant before the NPC warp ins were fixed have now been returned to slightly higher than their original numbers, with the exception for the buffs we made to the NPCs that are exclusive to the Forsaken Sanctum and Teeming Horde sites, which are retaining their approximate total site 36% bounty increase.
the Objectives Infopanel has been added to abyssal deadspace encounters, so you can now track what room you are in and how many NPCs are remaining.

Planetary Interaction:

🤝 It’s now possible to restart extractors for a planet from the Planetary Industry window.
- To do this, the extractors need to have finished their cycle already, it cannot be done to refresh an ongoing extraction which hasn’t completed yet.
PI Templates are no longer an opt-in feature preview and have been added as a feature for everyone.
Several improvements have been made to the filters for PI Templates.
Improved the search function for PI Templates.
It’s now possible to rename PI Templates.
Using a PI Template with a higher command center level than your character has, will now just upgrade it to your max skill level and try to add as much as it can from the template before running out of resources.
🤝 We now store the height of the window for each tab, so we are not constantly shrinking the windows when you switch tabs and back to them. This applies only to those tabs that do not have max height.
🤝 The sort order of templates is now alphabetical.
🤝 It’s now possible to select multiple pins by holding shift and then swap multiple schematics at once.
The routes tab shows the short names for the pins.
The text for the transiting routes in the 'Routes' tab is now using a secondary color.
Added origin/destination to the 'Routes' tab.

Science & Industry:

Sales Tax has been increased from 4% to 7.5%.
Mercenary Dens base Infomorph generation has been lowered from 80-115 (avg 100) to 65-100 (avg 82.5).

Combat Battlecruisers and Attack Battlecruisers have had their reprocessed materials updated to the same inputs as the blueprint, so they will now have more accurate (higher) insurance payouts.
The Estimated Item Value for multiple items in the game in the manufacturing cost breakdown should now more accurately reflect the value of the finished product.

Little Things:

🤝 Show number of skill points in queue.
- Showcases how many skill injectors may be needed.
🤝 Added state icons to drones in drone window.
- Increased the readability of drone states in the drone window.
🤝 Market orders in the Market window are default ordered by:
- Sell orders are lowest to highest.
- Buy order are highest to lowest.
🤝 Make double-clicking in Orders History bring up market details.
🤝 You can now pin stations to the top of your personal assets window. It is also possible to hide assets.
🤝 You can now jump through Ansiblex’s via the radial menu.
🤝 Added the ability to open multiple fixed item crates.
- These are crates that always contain the same items and don’t have random loot.
🤝 Buy Orders will now always buy items from the market at the lowest possible value sale orders first at those prices, instead of always buying everything at the buy order price even when there are already existing valid sell orders at a lower price.
- For example, there might be 3 sell orders for a unit of Tritanium in a station, 1 for 6 isk, 1 for 8 isk, and 1 for 10 isk.
- You setup a buy order in that station for several units at 10 ISK.
- Previously, you would have bought all 3 units of tritanium from the 3 sell orders for the buy order price of 10 ISK after setting up the order.
- You will now, pay 6 ISK for the 1st, 8 ISK for the 2nd, and then 10 ISK only for the last unit and any units after that, that players sell to you.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Fixed extra columns in inventory window.
- Allowing players to show extra columns in the inventory window, which previously wasn’t functional.
Missing Slot Categories in Inventory Window.
- Slot category in the inventory was not functional, we’ve fixed it so that players can now see what slot the item occupies on your ship (if applicable).
Fixed the ability to simulate the fit of ships in the corp hanger.

Graphics:

The Rorqual is now able to get upright again while using the industrial siege modules.

User Interface:

🤝 The order of input materials across different blueprints that have similar should now be more consistent.

Patch Notes for 2025-01-30.1

Features & Changes:

Drifter Crisis: Drifter Crisis Systems

Drifter-controlled forces have begun launching attacks on all four empires throughout high and low-security space! The first systems will become available between 19:00 and 21:00 tonight, with more following as the crisis continues.

Systems under attack can be found in the new ‘Interstellar Events’ section of the AIR Opportunities window.
Complete ‘Crisis’ sites to weaken the grip the Drifters have on these systems.
There are 4 varieties of Crisis site, with a 5th Crisis Resolution site available once the Drifter forces have been sufficiently weakened.
Each site requires teamwork and strategy, with specific roles needing to be fulfilled for success:
- Crisis: Field Rescue — Salvage the wreckage left behind following an empire assault on a Drifter facility to locate any survivors. It is recommended that at least 3 capsuleers tackle this rescue mission. T1 frigates and standard T1 destroyers are permitted.
- Crisis: Observatory Infiltration — Scan down this site to retrieve valuable relics from the remains of an emergent Jovian Observatory. Bring up to 2 other capsules to maximize rewards, but be wary of any traps the Drifters may have left behind! T1 frigates, destroyers, and standard T1 cruisers are permitted to enter.
- Crisis: Deathless Research Outpost — A Deathless research base is under attack by Drifter forces. Use remote repair modules to keep the structure alive until it can be secured. Alternatively, destroy it yourself and sell the accrued Hyperspace Telemetry data to the highest bidder. 5 capsuleers are recommended to aid the site; less may be required to destroy it. T1 frigates, destroyers, and standard T1 cruisers are permitted to enter.
- Crisis: Lancer Counter Offensive — An empire-owned Lancer dreadnought has been deployed to aid a civilian structure. Help it destroy the Drifter presence before its nefarious task can be completed. T1 frigates, destroyers, and standard T1 cruisers are permitted to enter.
- Crisis Resolution: Vigilant Dreamer — To resolve the crisis within the system, 10 capsuleers are required to bring an end to the Vigilant Dreamer. Using data analyzers, the defensive array protecting this Drifter facility can be disabled allowing it to be destroyed. T1 frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and standard T1 battlecruisers are permitted to enter.
Payouts from these sites are awarded to the top contributing fleet alone.

Deepflow Rifts

Deepflow Rifts have reemerged across the cluster and wormhole space! Intrepid capsuleers should tread carefully; both the rewards and difficulty of the site have been increased.

Homefront Operations:

Remote capacitor transmission is now less effective on allied Dreadnought NPCs within Dread Assault sites.
The effectiveness of enemy NPCs which energy neutralize allied Dreadnought NPCs within Dread Assault sites has been greatly increased.
Added a delay to the initial enemy hauler spawn within Raid sites.
Increased the variance and average spawn time of enemy haulers within Raid sites.
Decreased the access difficulty of salvaging wrecks in Salvage Research sites.
Increased the number of enemy NPCs within Salvage Research sites.

Patch Notes for 2025-01-16.1

Features & Changes:

Pochven & Triglavian Invasions:

Observatory Flashpoints:

The following changes aim to counteract the efficiency of over-filling a site by adding a net loss when more than 15 characters are present. The payouts for the site have been adjusted to offset the additional setup time and risk.

Assault Vector gates now require the use of Observatory Resonance Keys:
- Each character will need their own key to unlock the gate.
- A key is consumed on use.
- Keys can be bought via NPC sell orders within Pochven stations for 30m ISK each.
- 15x Keys will drop as loot from CONCORD Stellar Observatories.
  - Note: Spare keys cannot be sold to NPCs, but can be sold or traded to other characters.
- Gates will become unlocked for all characters 60 seconds after a site is complete.
Payouts have been adjusted:
- The total optimal payout of the site has been increased to 3.3b ISK (from 3b ISK).
- Stellar Surveillance Data will now make up 30% of the optimal reward (from 40%).
- Stellar Surveillance Data now belongs to the new EDENCOM data item group.
- Greatly increased the number of NPC buy orders for Stellar Surveillance Data.
Threshold Werposts will now have a significantly longer cooldown between target switches.
Threshold Werposts will now always attack the same target as each other.

Standings:

To help make Pochven more accessible, the minimum standings requirements for certain actions have been reduced.

Fitting and Repair requirements have been reduced to -0.05 (from 1.00 and 2.00, respectively).
Manufacturing and Corporation Office requirements have been reduced to 3.00 (from 4.00).
Home system stargate requirements have been reduced to 6.00 (from 7.00).
Standings will no longer be gained or lost when destroying either type of EDENCOM GunStar.
Standings will no longer be gained or lost when destroying a Stellar Observation Post site’s Stellar Observatory structure.

System-Wide Effects:

Last month's change to the Dazh Liminality Locus negatively impacted some playstyles in unintended ways, and as such has been softened significantly. The change also incentivized removing system effects which help make Pochven feel unique, so these have now been split off from the structure.

The Dazh Liminality Locus structure has been reworked:
- Increased the decloaking pulse cooldown timer to 60 minutes (from 6 minutes).
- Increased the decloaking pulse chance to 60% (from 30%).
- Removed the system-wide buffs and penalties.
Added the removed buffs and penalties as permanent system-wide effects within Pochven:
- Increased the remote repair bonuses to 30% (from 25%).
Added a lesser version of the Pochven system-wide effects to Triglavian Minor Victory systems:
- Reduced the remote repair bonuses to 15%.
- Removed the warp speed penalty.

PVE:

All Acceleration Gates which consume a key per character activating it have been improved:

When a key is consumed, the gate will remain unlocked for that character for the duration of the site.
- Note: This persists when a character leaves the location or logs out, but resets after a downtime.
No keys will be consumed when activating a gate already unlocked for that character.

Wormhole Capital Escalations:

The following changes hope to refine last November's changes to capital escalation rules.

A combat site can now escalate at any time before the second wave spawns.
A combat site will only de-escalate if there is no capital within range after the second wave spawns.

In summary, a combat site will escalate if a capital ship enters within a 100km range of the warp-in point before the second wave spawns. After that spawn, the site will deescalate if no capital is within range. The Drifter Response Battleship will spawn if the site is escalated when the Decloaked Transmission Relay is attacked. Otherwise, the Drifter Recon Battleship will spawn. A beacon appears while the site is escalated to help players keep track of that state.

Defect Fixes:

Wormhole Capital Escalations:

Fixed an issue that could cause the incorrect Drifter battleship to spawn following a downtime.

Localization:

Removed text from some DED combat sites that mention keys needed to get into the next room when you actually just need to kill all the NPCs in the room.

Patch Notes for 2024-12-10.1

Features & Changes:

PI Templates:

You are now able to save your current PI setups as a template as a work-in-progress feature. You can opt-in to test out these templates using the feature previews tab in the settings menu (by pressing 'Esc'). This allows you to share them with other players and your other characters and then import them, allowing you to set up multiple new planetary colonies with much less hassle! Please provide your feedback in this forum thread and suggest additional improvements you'd like to see for this new feature.

Balancing:

We have made adjustments to the base payout ratio and to the components included in Dreadnought reprocessing to increase the insurance payouts for Dreadnoughts closer to their real value. Our current aim is for a Dreadnought to pay about 70-75% of the ship hull value with platinum insurance on death rather than around 15%, which it currently does.
- NOTE: These changes will not take effect until after the game recalculates insurance payouts, which may take up to 90 days. The Zirnitra has not been included in these changes for now.

Implants / Boosters:

Updated the icons used for the agency boosters to include the level of the booster.

Events:

Winter Nexus Event!

The Winter Nexus event has returned to New Eden! This ingame event will run until downtime on January 7th 2025.
Volatile Ice Storms have begun to appear across highsec, lowsec, and nullsec space. These ice storms spread out across the stargate network two jumps from a central system, and occasionally move from system to system just like 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, character apparel, special Sansha's nation combat boosters, Sansha's Nation pirate implant blueprints, and rare faction modules.
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, SKINR nanocoatings and patterns, PLEX, Sansha combat boosters, ice storm jump filaments, skill points, and a Cerebral Accelerator.
A new set of daily login gifts are available over the course of the Winter Nexus event including snowballs, ice storm jump filaments, new Aurora Universalis skins, SKINR nanocoatings and patterns, Sansha combat boosters, EverMarks and up to 650.000 skill points. Players can receive all of these rewards by logging in everyday between now and January 7th.
A new and exclusive SKINR pattern available on the Paragon Hub for the duration of the event.
In addition to the above fantastic gifts, an expert system has been included which will allow all players, including alpha accounts, the ability to fly an Endurance and fit an Ice Mining Laser to mine ice for 4 days.

Air Daily Goals

Paying EM to complete Air Daily Goals:

We are continuing to refine the Air Daily Goals system and with this update, player now have the option to complete Air Daily Goals with EverMarks. This added flexibility makes earning the Daily Bonus SP and progressing through the Monthly Reward Track faster and easier - perfect for players with limited playtime.

Key Updates:

Streamlined Daily Goals: The total number of goals per day has been reduce from 8 to 4, with one goal from each career path.
Unique Goals Every Day: No duplicate goals are distributed on a given day, making sure that each of the 4 goals offered each day is different.
Career Pool Adjustments:
- The “Manufacture an Item” goal has been removed from the Explorer Career pool.
- The “Scan 5 Signatures” goal has been removed from the Industrialist Career pool.

Corporation Projects

Ship Insurance Contribution Method:

We’re excited to introduce the new Ship Insurance Contribution Method, a powerful new tool designed to improve how corporations manage Ship Replacement Program (SRP). Improving on the functionality of the previous Ship Loss project type, this feature offers greater flexibility and customization to enable corporations to effectively reimburse members of their losses for all or only specific ships as well as implants.

Key Features:

Automatic evaluation of ISK lost: Compensation is automatically calculated using the ISK Total Worth from the Kill Report which includes the sum of the average market price of all items lost.
Fitting and cargo coverage: The ISK loss value used for compensation includes the ship hull, fittings, and cargo, all based on the Kill Report.
Implants coverage: Corporations can choose whether to compensate members for implant losses tied to Capsule destruction.
- If enabled, all Capsule losses are covered, regardless of which ship loss they follow.
- Implants compensation is calculated using the Kill Report’s Total Worth, similar to ships.
One Project for All Ship Types: Manage coverage for multiple ship types or ship groups within a single project, reducing complexity and improving efficiency.
Compensation for PVP or PVE losses: Decide whether to cover the losses from only PvP engagements or including the PvE activities as well.
Filtering by Attacker: Cover losses caused by specific characters, corporations, alliances, factions, or even by anyone.
Filtering by Location: Cover losses that happened in specific solar systems, constellations, regions, or provide coverage for losses across all locations.
Coverage Percentage: Set the coverage rate between 10% and 200% of the Kill Report value, allowing for partial compensation or even overcompensation to incentivize participation.
Limit the coverage per member: Define a maximum ISK limit that each individual corporation member can receive from the project, ensuring fair distribution of resources.
Limit the coverage per loss: Set a limit for the maximum ISK amount reimbursed for a single loss, helping manage the corporation´s SRP budget.

While the Ship Insurance is an improvement over the Ship Loss contribution method, the latter will remain available in the game for now but may be removed in a future update.

Wormholes:

Repositioned warp-in and NPC spawn locations in all C4 sites.
- These locations should always be within 40km of the site’s central structure.
Sleepless Defender NPCs will now only spawn when a ship is near the Deserted Talocan Cruiser container in C4 Data and Relic sites.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

MTOs will now show the correct time they activate for players in timezones that are ahead of the eve server.
Example: An MTO mission will spawn at 12:00, but a person is in Tokyo, Japan, and their PC is set up to that timezone (UTC+9). From their perspective, they would see the mission would spawn at 03:00 (9 hours earlier than from when it should spawn), and it will then look like it just disappeared from the UI at 03:00, until when it actually spawns, at 12:00.

Wormhole Capital Escalations:

Drifter Recon Battleships will now correctly use their energy neutralizers.
Drifter battleships can now spawn in Core Stronghold sites.
Capital Escalations can now correctly occur in Strange Energy Readings and The Mirror sites.
Rorquals can no longer cause capital escalations to occur.

Graphics:

Duplicates of Shattered Paradigm SKINs are removed from the game.

- Victorieux Luxury Yacht
- Zephyr

Fixed an issue where the Ship Insurance banner text could overflow the banner in some languages.
Fixed an issue where the Ship Info icon in the Neocom could become unresponsive when closing one of multiple open Ship Info windows.
Fixed an issue where applying/previewing SKINs on active strategic cruisers could remove the fitted subsystems from the 3D ship preview in the window.
Fixed an issue where 3rd party SKINs could not be deselected in the SKINs tab.
Fixed an issue where the Fitting tab could fail to load correctly in the Ship Info window of an assembled ship in Asset Safety or Fleet Hangar.
Fixed an issue where the maximum number of subsystem slots could be displayed as zero in the Fitting tab of strategic cruisers.
Fixed an issue where the maximum number of Hi, Med, and Low slots could be displayed as zero in the Fitting tab of strategic cruisers.
Fixed an issue where the Show Info option was missing for type entries in the Attributes tab.

User Interface:

Fixed an issue where the ship type name would not update correctly in the SKINs subtab in the Personalization tab of the Fitting window when boarding another ship.

Patch Notes for 2024-12-02.1

Patch Notes for 2024-11-28.1

Features & Changes:

Until December 1st, To celebrate the Vanguard Groundbreak Operation, a special set of daily login rewards will be available. Rewards include Vanguard themed nanocoatings and patterns, EverMarks and skill points.

Balance:

Reverted the ‘Excavator’ Ice Harvester drone max velocity increase made in 2024-11-26.1 based on player feedback.

PvE:

Rebalanced the maximum velocity of all NPCs that appear in Homefront Operations and Deathless Trustbreaker sites.
- Notably, DPS destroyer NPCs have been made significantly slower.
Equalized the collision radius of structures that appear in Emergency Aid and Deathless Trustbreaker sites.
Reduced the volume of Contraband Data commodities found in Traffic Stop sites.

Wormhole Capital Escalations:

A series of changes have been made to C5 and C6 sites. These have been made with the goal of promoting the use of capital ships while still keeping the space rewarding for all players. We will be monitoring the impact of these changes and iterating where necessary.

The rules which cause a Drifter Response Battleship spawn have been changed:
- A beacon (visible only on-grid) appears at the warp-in location as the initial NPC fleet is destroyed.
- The beacon will despawn if there is no capital ship within 100km of it.
- If the beacon is not present when the structure is attacked, the Drifter Response Battleship is ineligible to spawn.
A new Drifter Recon Battleship will spawn in the place of the Drifter Response Battleship if it is not eligible.
- This variant of the battleship has less EHP, lower damage, less neutralizer pressure, and drops a reduced number of commodities on destruction.
The loot value of Upgraded Avenger NPCs has been increased.
In Data or Relic sites with Upgraded Avenger NPCs, a beacon (visible only on-grid) will appear the first time a capital ship is within 100km of the warp-in location.
- The beacon will despawn if there is no capital ship within 100km of it.
A beacon can only be spawned once per site.
Upgraded Avenger NPCs will appear and remain on-grid only while a beacon is present.
Upgraded Avenger NPCs will only spawn once per site rather than for each capital ship group.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

It’s now possible to compress multiple groups of resources while having multiple compression modules activated. Previously it would only be successful on one type if a player was trying to compress multiple groups at once, such as attempting to compress ice and gas at the same time.

Observatory Flashpoints:

The Zirnitra dreadnought will once again attack the Stellar Observatory.

Wormhole Capital Escalations:

Drifter Battleships will no longer immediately despawn when there are no capital ships within their original site.
Fixed various issues that could allow Upgraded Avenger NPCs to be avoided or have Drifter Battleships warp off prematurely.

Patch Notes for 2024-11-27.1

Features & Changes:

User Interface:

Vanguard themed Character Select Screen.

In celebration of the upcoming Vanguard Groundbreak Operation - taking place 28 Nov- 9 Dec the Character Select Screen is now in EVE Vanguard theme.

Patch Notes for 2024-11-26.1

Features & Changes:

Mercenary Dens

Mercenary Dens now have 2 new attributes, Anarchy and Development. Both Anarchy and Development values will slowly increase over time, approximately 5 levels per day (24 hours). Eventually, when the level hits a certain threshold, the Anarchy or Development for that mercenary den will level up, which can have certain affects.
While a Mercenary Den is reinforced, passive Anarchy and Development are paused.
Added a dedicated window for viewing all your mercenary dens which can be found via the neocom under Industry, or from the mercenary den agency page.

Anarchy

Anarchy Amount: 0-19 - Level 0 - 0% reduction to Skyhook Workforce
Anarchy Amount: 20-39 - Level 1 - 0% reduction to Skyhook Workforce
Anarchy Amount: 40-69 - Level 2 - 10% reduction to Skyhook Workforce
Anarchy Amount: 70-99 - Level 3 - 20% reduction to Skyhook Workforce
Anarchy Amount: 100 - Level 4 - 40% reduction to Skyhook Workforce

This means that if left alone, it will take 8 days for a mercenary den to start to negatively impact a Skyhook.

Development Amount

Development Amount: 0-19 - Level 0 - Regular Informorph Production rate
Development Amount: 20-39 - Level 1 - 15% bonus to Infomorph Production Rate
Development Amount: 40-69 - Level 2 - 25% bonus to Infomorph Production Rate
Development Amount: 70-99 - Level 3 - 35% bonus to Infomorph Production Rate
Development Amount: 100 - Level 4 - 50% bonus to Infomorph Production Rate

Mercenary Tactical Operations (MTOs)

Approximately every 3 days, a mercenary den tactical operation (MTO) will become available. MTOs are new PVE content designed for a single player in a cruiser. These sites are behind an acceleration gate that only lets in T1 and faction cruisers, or any destroyer/frigate. Once an MTO has been warped to, a beacon will appear in space which anyone can warp to, even hostile players. MTOs are very rewarding and will drop on average around 80-100 million ISK in loot, and if they are successfully completed, they will decrease anarchy by 20 points, and increase development by 10 points. Since it takes 4 days for anarchy to increase by 20 points, this means that running a MTO once every 3-4 days (when it becomes avaliable) will be enough for Mercenary Den owners to maintain their dens to prevent any adverse affect on the Skyhook if they so wish.

To Start an MTO, you will need to be undocked in the solarsystem where the mercenary den is located, and then start it from the Opportunities window, or from the Mercenary Den window. MTO sites always spawn in the same solarsystem as where the Mercenary Den is located. A Mercenary Den can have a maximum of up to 3 MTOs at once, and MTOs last for 4 days after being offered.

If a Mercenary Den is already maxed out at level 4 Development, completing a MTO will create 500 bonus infomorphs directly into the mercenary den on completion in place of the development reward.

Ship and Module Balance

Ferox Navy Issue
- Signature Radius increased from 300m to 325m
- Agility nerfed from 0.66x to 0.69x
- Max Targeting Range reduced from 67500m to 60000m

The Ferox Navy Issue is overperforming, so we’re increasing the signature radius back up to the regular T1 Ferox amount and then nerfing the agility and targeting range slightly. We’re hoping the combination of sig and agility reduction will make them a bit more vulnerable to battleships and stealth bombers in fleet encounters. The Ferox Navy Issue loses the optimal bonus the regular T1 Ferox has so we are shaving a bit of max targeting range off as well.

Eos
- Drone Optimal range per level reduced from 10% to 5%

Toning down the Eos somewhat. It has 11 mid-slots and low-slots combined, unlike all other Command Ships which have 10, which is even more powerful when you consider it is a drone ship. Seeing it start to become a little unhealthy in some places so we’re reducing the power of sentry drone fits slightly.

Heavy Assault Cruisers
- 50% reduction in Microwarpdrive signature radius penalty Role Bonus added back

In the Uprising expansion, we made significant changes to HACs by removing or reducing long range bonuses and completely reworking the Muninn which was the most dominant ship in the game at the time. We feel like the meta has shifted now with more Battleships and Navy Battlecruisers being viable so that we can now add back the 50% MWD signature radius role bonus to HACs which we removed in early 2021.

Ashimmu
- Drone Bay and Drone Bandwidth increased from 40 Mbit/sec to 50 Mbit/sec
- Max Velocity increased from 208 to 215m/s
- Agility improved from 0.58x to 0.55x

The Ashimmu has lower usage than the other pirate cruisers, so giving it the ability to field 5 medium drones, or 2 flights of light drones. And giving it some small speed improvements.

Scythe
- CPU increased from 285tf to 300tf
- Powergrid increased from 345MW to 375MW
- Max Velocity increased from 250m/s to 260m/s
- Agility improved from 0.6x to 0.57x

The Scythe has fitting issues, especially since it’s an entry level support cruiser so giving it a small amount of love there. Also boosting the mobility of the Scythe a bit to try and help it stand out from the Osprey more by improving its strengths.

Vengeance
- Rocket Damage Per Level of Amarr Frigate increased from 5% to 7.5%
- Powergrid increased from 43MW to 46MW

The Vengeance has low usage, so we’re giving it a small facelift with some extra damage (But still keeping the Hawk on top with kinetic damage missiles) and a bit more powergrid to help give it some more options.

Cruor
- Drone Bay and Bandwidth increased from 5m3 to 10m3 and 5 Mbit/sec to 10 Mbit/sec, respectively.
- Max Velocity increased from 330m/s to 340m/s
- Agility improved from 3.6x to 3.4x

The Cruor is underperforming relative to its peers. We’re giving it an extra drone to bump up its damage potential a bit, but have that DPS be destructible. We are then improving the Cruor’s mobility so it can better use the long-range web for catching kiting ships.

Maulus Navy Issue
- Highslots increased from 2 to 3
- Powergrid increased from 35MW to 38MW
- Max Velocity incrased from 315m/s to 325m/s

The Maulus Navy Issue currently has 1 less total slot than the other Navy EWAR Frigates, so we’re correcting that by giving it an extra high slot. The hope here is that this will improve its versatility and open up options like triple neut setups that its brother in spirit Tristan is capable of. Small PG boost to help fill that high slot, and then a small mobility improvement since it currently is the slowest navy frigate.

Rorqual
- 'Excavator' Mining Drone base velocity increased from 175m/s to 250m/s
- ‘Excavator’ Ice Harvesting Drone base velocity increased from 90m/s to 125m/s
All Exhumers
- Max Locked Targets improved from 6 to 8
Skiff
- Agility improved from 0.8x to 0.64x
- Midslots increased from 4 to 5
All Mining Barges
- Max Locked Targets improved from 5 to 6
Procurer
- Agility improved from 0.8x to 0.64x
- Midslots increased from 2 to 3

We’re giving all mining barges and exhumers an extra few locked targets to improve quality of life when mining. Specifically, the Procurer and Skiff are getting a significant agility buff, which will bring down their align times by several seconds each, and an extra midslot. During the 2022 rebalance, the Procurer and Skiff both lost a slot each total, while the Covetor and Hulk gained one, when we rebalanced them around all having the same total number of slots. The Procurer and Skiff also had their agility nerfed a bit too much and so we are now correcting this and giving them back the slot they lost. Finally, we are improving the speed of Excavators to increase their effectiveness when mining, especially when mining further away asteroids, since the Rorqual is now a more supporting role and excavators are balanced around high wastage.

Navy Faction Light Fighters
- Heavy Rocket ability charge count increased from 12 to 15.

Small buff to navy fighters doing longer PVE encounters like the Forsaken Sanctums and Teeming Hordes. Without obsoleting T2 Fighters which still have slightly higher DPS.

Standard Cerebral Accelerator
- Removed 20% turret damage boost and 20% missile rate of fire boost.
- Increased attributes from +3 to +5.

Was being abused by new freshly injected characters to take advantage of the 20% damage boost in ships like Marauders and Dreadnoughts, or PVP smurf accounts rather than being used by new players. Removing the damage bonuses and increasing the attributes on it from +3 to +5, to compensate it, which should make it actually more useful for new players and remove the abuse cases.

Factional Warfare and Insurgency Balance

Respawn time for NPCs has been significantly increased

In Equinox we fixed battlefields being cheesed by holding a single battlecruiser NPC alive, however with that fix, players feel like Battlefields are now too tedious and not rewarding enough and this has caused a reduction in fighting and PVP in and around battlefields. To address this, we are approximately doubling the time between NPC waves.

Drop rates of Encoder Splice and Decoded Packages from FW Operation Centers (Rearguard Data Sites) has been approximately doubled.
Doubled the effectiveness on advantage of the Propaganda Broadcast Structure and the Listening Post objective deployables.

Propaganda Broadcast Structures and Listening Outposts advantage deployables are not being used outside of key system sieges. We’re trying to improve this by increasing their availability and effectiveness.

Tether Radius on the Pirate FOBs has been dropped from 100km to 50km

A key complaint from anti-pirate players in insurgencies is that the Pirate FOBs have such huge tether ranges that it makes it incredibly difficult to siege as pirate aligned players can remain tethered and invulnerable until they want to engage while close to their ships even in long range setups, so we’re bringing it down to a value that should still feel very comfortable for players coming in from the shipcaster, but less powerful as a tool used against players trying to siege the FOB.

Reduced the number of Factional Warfare Small NVY-5 and Small ADV-5 sites. A slightly increased amount of Small NVY-1s and Small ADV-1s will appear in their place to keep the potential number of victory points generated per day the same.
Reduced the total number of the insurgency Small ADV-5 sites, their chance to spawn has been rolled into increasing the number of Medium and Large ADV-5 sites which spawn instead.
The Respawn time of all insurgency ADV-5 sites has been increased (slowed down) to keep LP and Corruption generation rates similar with an increased number of Medium and large ADV-5 sites spawning.

Another common complaint with FW and Insurgencies is the amount of multiboxing destroyers in the warzone. We’re trying to address this by shifting the FW sites back towards 1-man sites and the insurgency 5-person sites away from Smalls and into Mediums and Larges. We’re doing this because it’s fairly difficult to contest 5 Destroyers inside smalls with less than 5 pilots, but much easier in Mediums and Larges where 2-3 Navy Cruisers/HACs or 1-2 BCs can engage them. Having slower responding but larger, more rewarding 5-person sites will hopefully also increase the number of them that are contested.

Added appropriate salvage to the Angel and Guristas FOB wreck.

PvE:

The Deathless Circle has deployed Planetary Trustbreaker Arrays to steal passkeys for planetary defense networks ahead of Vanguard assaults. These sites have fallen under attack by Drifter forces!

Deathless Trustbreaker Under Attack sites are appearing in pirate Insurgency FOB systems.
Capsuleer fleets can choose to protect the Trustbreaker Array for the duration to receive a reward from the Deathless. 5 capsuleers are recommended for this challenge.
Alternatively, those who do not wish to support the Deathless can wait for the structure to generate PDN passkeys before destroying it. Many groups would pay handsomely for any such commodities seized from the wreckage!
Regardless of their motivations, capsuleers are limited to bringing standard T1 cruisers or below within the site.

Patch Notes for 2024-11-22.1

Features & Changes:

Missions & NPCs:

We have adjusted and refactored NPC warp in behavior and spawners in some nullsec anomalies to make their warp ins much more compact, which will make these anomalies much better for AOE farming (Stormbringer, Thunderchild and Smartbombing).
- All Havens (Both the Stargate ‘Rock’ Haven and the Chemical Factory ‘Gas’ Haven variation).
- All Drone Hordes and Patrol sites.
- The Regular base version of the Rally Points.

Last week, we increased NPC bounties to counteract the income reduction caused by NPC's warping in instead of spawning in place.

We are maintaining the 30-40% NPC bounty increase we made last week, which has already increased total nullsec bounties to higher than what they were before Revenant, however, with the addition of this set of changes we will be monitoring the economy and we will potentially make adjustments to bounties or anomalies if needed in the future.

Patch Notes for 2024-11-15.1

Features & Changes:

Miscellaneous:

Revenant DLI rewards for Day 10 and Day 14 have been swapped so players don’t have to login for all 14 days to get the biggest reward.

Missions & NPCs:

With the renovation update to Nullsec anomalies, and bug fixes for the NPC dreadnoughts released in Revenant, we did not intend to significantly impact Nullsec income with the changes to the NPCs warping in instead of spawning in place. We also have not made any intentional changes to the AI used by the NPCs which would cause them to attack drones more frequently.

To address these concerns, we are increasing several Battleship and Battlecruiser NPC bounties found primarily in Nullsec by between 30-40% to compensate for the reductions in efficiency for AoE farming (Smartbomb, Stormbringer and Thunderchild ratting) due to the NPCs warping in and potentially requiring higher level of activity for increased drone management for drone setups. We are also happy for this to be a significant boost for more active forms of ratting that were not as directly impacted, such as Marauder ratting.

Increased the bounties on several NPCs found primarily in Nullsec Anomalies by 30-40%.
This results in the following total average bounty increases for these popular Nullsec anomalies:
- Hubs: 28.40%
- Rally Points: 28.50%
- Patrols: 30.20%
- Havens: 31.70%
- Forsaken Hubs: 34.50%
- Hordes: 34.70%
- Sanctums: 35.70%
- Forsaken Sanctums & Teeming Hordes: 36.00%

Zarzakh:

Increased the Radius of the Zarzakh Raitaru item traders to be the same as a regular Raitaru (So players don’t have to be so close to it/inside the 3D Asset).
Increased the minimum interaction range needed to trade with the item traders from 2.5km to 10km.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

It’s now possible to black ops bridge and take conduit jumps with the Tholos and Cenotaph.

Localization:

Added missing German translation for some ship quotes and attributions in the Ship Information Window.
Added missing German translation for a couple of words and tooltips in the Ship Information Window.

User Interface:

Fixed an issue where the SKINR shortcut and the ship name could be missing from the SKINs subtab of the Personalization section in the Fitting window.

Revenant: Expansion Notes

EVE Online Team — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 16:45:00 GMT

Hello expansion enjoyers!

The Revenant expansion is arriving next week at 11:00 UTC 12 November! As has become tradition now, we are delivering the patch notes early so you can absorb everything that's coming. We invite you to join the player discussion about the content of this release on the EVE Online Discord and the EVE Online Forums.

Expansion Notes 22.02 - EVE Online: Revenant

Mercenary Dens

The mercenary den is a brand-new deployable structure anchorable at skyhooks on temperate planets. Blueprints to build the mercenary den can be purchased in Zarzakh from the market in the Fulcrum. To deploy one, you’ll need to train the new mercenary den management skill, which allows a character to control 1 mercenary den per level, for a total of 5 per character with max skills. Only 1 mercenary den can be at the same skyhook at a time.

Once a mercenary den has been successfully placed, it will passively generate encrypted infomorphs every hour. These items can either be sold on the market to other players or taken to Zarzakh to exchange for rewards with the deathless item traders. Those include the new deathless ships, breacher pod launchers, breacher pods, skillbooks and exclusive SKINR components.

Mercenary dens can only be accessed by the character which owns them; however, they are vulnerable to attack. Mercenary dens have a single 24h reinforcement timer with a 6-hour jitter which the owner has no control over. While reinforced, mercenary dens will continue to produce infomorphs, but they won’t be able to be removed from the mercenary den until it leaves reinforced mode and has been repaired above 50% shields. Note that it automatically regenerates shields over a long time if no one comes to finish it off, but it can also be manually repaired to full. If a mercenary den is destroyed, it has a 50% chance to drop the encrypted infomorphs inside.

Additional Features coming after Revenant - Planned for 26 November

Mercenary Tactical Operations (MTOs)

Mercenary dens will occasionally give their owners the opportunity to run MTOs, which are similar to existing PVE content such as missions/escalations. MTOs are aimed for a solo player in a cruiser and successfully completing them will give rewards and also increase the development and decrease the anarchy levels of the associated mercenary den.
Shortly after Revenant, mercenary dens will have 2 parameters, Development and Anarchy.
- Development is generated over time, and when successfully completing mercenary den tactical operations. Higher Development levels will cause the mercenary den to increase production yield of infomorphs over time.
- Anarchy is also generated over time and decreased when successfully completing mercenary den tactical operations. Higher Anarchy levels will cause the Skyhook it’s placed on to siphon workforce production, preventing the workforce from being used by the sov owner.

Deathless Ships

Two new deathless ships are being released with the Revenant expansion. Deathless ships are exclusively able to fit the new breacher pod launcher damage over time weapons, they also feature high amounts of mid-slots for extensive utility and flexibility, active shield tanking bonuses, average speed but have powerful web resistance bonuses, large drone bays for their class and damage bonuses to both projectile weapons and close range missiles allowing them to do extensive DPS up close even without the breacher pod weapon, and finally the ability to fit covert ops cloaking devices.

Tholos

Cenotaph

The Deathless ships are available exclusively as blueprint copies from Deathless item traders, which can be found in Zarzakh. Players can turn in Atavums found in exploration sites, and Encrypted Infomorphs from mercenary dens to purchase them.

Breacher Pod Launchers - Damage Over Time Weapons

Revenant brings an exciting brand-new weapon system and the first instance of a damage over time effect in EVE Online! Breacher Pod Launchers come in two sizes, small and medium, and can only be fitted on the new deathless ships - the Tholos and Cenotaph. Breacher Pod Launchers do not consume a launcher or turret hardpoint, and fire SCARAB breacher pods at their targets. If a breacher pod hits a ship, then it’ll apply a damage over time effect. The Scarab Breacher pods are similar to missiles, they will not affect their target unless they actually reach and hit, and can be killed with smartbombs before they arrive. Breacher Pods can only be used on player ships and NPCs, they cannot be used against targets such as capsules, structures, stargates etc.

The damage over time effect from breacher pods does not use signature radius or tracking like other weapon systems in the game, instead, they apply damage every second based on the targets total hitpoints (raw Shield, Armor and Hull HP combined) or a flat damage cap number, whichever one of those two is lower. This means that a ship with incredibly high hitpoints like a Titan will always take the flat damage cap, but a ship with low hitpoints like a Corvette would always take the % HP damage instead.

The damage over time effect lasts between 50 and 75 seconds depending on the users skill level, and once hit, it will not clear until a player leaves the solarsystem or docks up. It can continue doing damage while the player is in warp or while the player is tethered. The damage over time effect also completely ignores resistances, which means the effect will apply full damage to ships which have used modules like the Assault Damage Control and the Emergency damage Control. It also can apply damage to Rorquals and ships under the effect of the PANIC module.

A player ship can only be affected by one damage over time effect at once. Getting hit with additional breacher pods will just add another effect which will take over when the previous one expires. Much like Command Bursts, if two players shoot the same target with breacher pods, then the player who has the strongest breacher pod effect will deal damage to the target, and the other one will remain inert unless the stronger effect expires.

SCARAB Breacher Pod S

Max Range: 4km (6km with max skills)
HP Damage per second: 0.60% (0.75% with max skills)
Maximum Damage per second: 160 (200 with max skills)

SCARAB Breacher Pod M

Max Range: 8km (12km with max skills)
HP Damage per second: 0.60% (1% with max skills)
Maximum Damage per second: 800 (1000 with max skills)

Small Breacher Pod Launcher

Rate of Fire: 24 seconds (12 seconds with max skills)

Medium Breacher Pod Launcher

Rate of Fire: 20 seconds (10 seconds with max skills)

It should be noted that while only one target can take damage from a damage over time effect at any time, you can place several damage over time effects on different player ships concurrently. For example, the Medium Breacher Pod Launcher has a rate of fire of 10 seconds with max skills, and DoTs that it applies will last 75 seconds with max skills, this means that a Cenotaph using the Breacher Pod Launcher could potentially have 7 DoTs applied to 7 different ships at once.

Much like the Deathless Ships, blueprint copies for Breacher Pod Launchers and SCARAB breacher pod ammo can be obtained by trading Atavums, found from exploration, or Encrypted Infomorphs, generated from Mercenary Dens, in Zarzakh.

Skills

5 new skillbooks are avaliable to improve the effectiveness of breacher pod launchers, and can be obtained by trading in Zarzakh.

Corporation Projects Improvements

For Revenant, we are continuing the improvements on the Corporation Projects system to enable corporation leadership to have a more active corporation and achieve more ambitious goals.

Expanded Project Parameter

With the launch of Revenant, project creators can now author the Mine Materials, Damage Capsuleers, Destroy Capsuleer’s Ship and Earn Loyality Points Contribution Methods with Expanded Project Parameters functionality.
Expanded Project Parameters functionality enables:
- Multi-value parameters: Project creators can select up to ten values per supported parameter.
  - Locations (Mine Materials, Damage Capsuleers, Destroy Capsuleer’s Ship)
  - Ship Types or Groups (Damage Capsuleers, Destroy Capsuleer’s Ship)
  - Material Types or Groups (Mine Materials)
  - Capsuleers or Organizations (Damage Capsuleers, Destroy Capsuleer’s Ship)
  - Organizations (Earn Loyalty Points)
- Mixed-hierarchy parameters: Project creators can now also select parameter groups that span different hierarchies. Up to ten values supported.
  - Locations parameter: Solar Systems, Constellations, and Regions.
  - Ship Types or Groups parameter : Ship Types (e.g. Rifter, Raven) and Ship Groups (e.g. Frigates, Battleships, Logistic Cruisers)
  - Material Types or Groups: Asteroid Types (e.g. Veldspar, Dense Veldspar, Kernite, Fiery Kernite, Clear Icicle) and Asteroid Groups (e.g. Veldspar, Kernite, Ice)

ExpParameters-2

We aim to bring Expanded Project Parameter functionality to all contribution methods currently supported.

Project Deadline

Project creators can now set deadlines for their projects. This improves communication of the project timeline to the corporation members and encourage timely participation.

Project Participation Limit

Project creators can now set limits on contributions per contributor, preventing any single player from completing the majority of a project alone allowing everyone a chance to contribute.

Ship Information Window

The information window for ships has been redesigned to both emphasize the hull's uniqueness while improving usability. With a more streamlined layout, players will be able to find the information they need in a more intuitive and immersive form.

The window retains all the old window´s functionality while adding the following:

Ship Display: The selected ship is always at the forefront of this design. A player can take in a 360° look at the hull in all its glory.
Compact Mode: The window can now be re-sized to be smaller than the previous version. This allows a player to maximize information density without sacrificing usability.
Immersive Additions: In-universe information on the ship's designer and attributed quotes related to the hull have been added to flesh out its place in New Eden.
Overview Tab: The Traits and Description tabs have been combined along with the previous header information to create the Overview tab. This provides all the most basic information for the ship in one place. In addition, you can view accrued killmarks for your ship within this tab.
Attribute Tab: The information within this tab has been reorganized to help players navigate it more easily. In addition, derived values such as EHP and align time are displayed here to help provide context to related attributes.
Skills Tab: The Skill Requirements and Masteries tabs have been combined. Any skill a player might need to fly a ship effectively can be found here.
Fittings Tab: A shortcut has been added which opens the Fitting window in simulation mode, showing the ship and its applied fitting.
Variations Tab: Variants within this tab now have links that open that hull within the Ship Tree.
SKINs Tab: Players are now able to preview and apply SKINs directly from this tab. In addition, a shortcut has been added to open that ship's SKINR Paragon Hub page.

Glorified Mutaplasmids and Mutaplasmid Residue

All abyssal modules can now be reprocessed into mutaplasmid residue - this means that modules that you mutate that don’t have the results that you were hoping for or aren’t able to sell are still useful! Mutaplasmid residue can then be used in new blueprints found in regular abyssal content and from CONCORD Rogue Analysis Beacons to create 169 new, improved, glorified abyssal mutaplasmids, which are more powerful versions of the existing mutaplasmids found in the game. Just Keep Rolling!

Balance Changes

Marauders

100% bonus to Shield Extender hitpoints removed
50% bonus to Armor Plate hitpoints removed
5% additional bonus to Reinforced Bulkhead hitpoints removed

Marauders continue to be incredibly dominant in all areas of space, so we’re removing the bonuses which provide additional hitpoints to buffer modules fit to them. The intention here is to focus them more around their specialization of large bonuses to active tanking. Since active tanking requires capacitor, heat and module management, the hope is that this will increase their skill floor and make them harder to use as ships of the line and be more difficult to multibox efficiently.

Vargur

Falloff Bonus reduced from 10% per level to 7.5% per level.
CPU output Reduced from 625 to 600

Even with the above adjustment to all Marauders, the Vargur still stands out as the worst offender amongst them, it currently is the #1 highest damaging ship on average for all killmails in null security and wormhole space. So we’re cutting back a bit of the falloff bonus to reduce projection with AutoCannons and also reducing the CPU output. In the Viridian expansion, we added a 6th lowslot to the Vargur which actually increased its fitting ability by allowing it to fit additional co-processor modules which inadvertently made fitting multiple XLASBs much easier and viable despite us reducing the shield boost bonus per level it had.

Absolution

10% bonus to energy turret damage increased to 20%
5% rate of fire bonus for energy turrets removed

The Absolution is struggling a little with usage so we’re giving it a bit of QoL. This change keeps the overall damage per second of the Absolution the same as before, but now that the rate of fire bonus is baked into the damage bonus, it no longer consumes as much capacitor as before to fire which should make it feel better.

Myrmidon Navy Issue

Armor Repairer amount per level increased from 7.5% to 10%
Base velocity increased from 155 m/s to 160 m/s
Agility improved from 0.7x to 0.67x

The Myrmidon Navy Issue is currently the least used Combat Battlecruiser in the game, so we’re making some improvements to its mobility and repair amount to help it out. Many players doing PVE do not feel like the Myrmidon Navy Issue is worth upgrading to from the Myrmidon, since the stasis webifier drone bonus isn’t very valuable in PVE and if they only use drones and don’t rely on its higher damage hybrid weapons it’s not as attractive of an upgrade, and in PVP it’s fairly slow so can be difficult to use blasters so we’re hoping that the increased repair amount and speed will help it stand out more for both PVE and PVP.

Harbinger Navy Issue

Powergrid increased from 1,495 MW to 1,550 MW

The Harbinger Navy currently has low usage, so we’re increasing its base powergrid amount up to the same as the regular Harbinger hull, which was buffed in an earlier balance pass which the HNI missed out on.

Cyclone Fleet Issue

Powergrid reduced from 1,215 MW to 1100 MW
Rate of fire bonus for missiles reduced from 9% to 7.5% per level

The Cyclone Fleet Issue is incredibly dominant right now, so we’re making some adjustments to bring it back in line. We’re reducing the powergrid on it so it will have a harder time fitting 100mn afterburners or large cap battery modules for fleet fits, and we’re also lowering the rate of fire bonus to tone down the damage it can put out.

Exequror Navy Issue

Medium Hybrid Falloff Bonus reduced from 10% per level to 7.5% per level
Base velocity reduced from 280 m/s to 270 m/s
Agility nerfed from 0.4x to 0.44x
Signature Radius increased from 110m to 120m

The Exequror Navy is still incredibly dominant and the most used navy ship in the game, so we’re making a small suite of changes, reducing the falloff bonus and then hitting it’s mobility slightly and increasing the signature radius, so it’ll be worse at mitigating damage and can’t project as far as before.

Stabber Fleet Issue

New Bonus Added: 5% bonus to Medium Projectile Turret Falloff per level

The SFI can sometimes feel awkward when upgrading from the regular Stabber by losing the falloff bonus, and the SFI could also use some love! So we’re extending the smaller falloff bonus we added to the Republic Fleet Firetail last winter onto the Stabber Fleet Issue to improve its versatility.

Distinct Module Icons

The following module types have been given unique icons to help differentiate them:

Heat Sinks, Gyrostabilizers, Entropic Radiation Sinks, and Magnetic Field Stabilizers
Capacitor Rechargers, Capacitor Flux Coils, and Capacitor Power Relays
Shield Rechargers, Shield Flux Coils, and Shield Power Relays

Biochemical Material Icons

All biochemical materials now have unique icons. The icons match the color and tier of the booster that they relate to.

Nullsec Combat Anomaly Graphics and Gameplay Overhaul

Several Combat Anomaly sites in nullsec have been renovated.

All variations of the Forsaken Sanctums, Sanctums, Havens, Patrol and Horde sites have had full art and asset renovations
Over 100 different nullsec anomaly sites now have an objectives panel. So you can now easily see what wave you are on and how many NPCs remain at a glance!
Several NPC groups now warp in instead of spawning in place where appropriate.

Since volumetric clouds are part of the graphical updates, please note that they can potentially impact performance when multi-boxing. To mitigate this, we’ve added a setting that disables clouds when low shader quality is selected.

New Rogue Drone relic sites have been added.

4 new relic sites have been added in rogue drone nullsec, allowing intrepid explorers the opportunity to find and discover ancient salvage materials and other valuable rewards.

Pochven

A series of changes have been made to Observatory Flashpoint sites:

The optimal total value of the site has been reduced from 3.5b to an average of 3b ISK
On average, 40% of the site’s total value will now be given in the form of new Stellar Surveillance Data commodities
- These commodities can be looted from Stellar Observatory wrecks
- NPC buy orders for these commodities can be found in CONCORD, DED, and Secure Commerce Commission stations
Only capsuleers within 50km of the Stellar Observatory are considered eligible for payouts
The minimum amount of contribution to be eligible for payouts has been increased
New Threshold Werpost sentry guns will aggress any capsuleer who goes beyond 50km from the Stellar Observatory
Once within the main combat area, capsuleers will now only have 30 minutes to complete the site
Any EDENCOM faction can now appear within the site (weighted toward the empire that owned the system before Pochven’s formation)
NPCs will now behave more intelligently within the site
- Specific EDENCOM NPCs will prioritize attacking drones
- EDENCOM NPCs will remember which capsuleers have engaged their faction between areas and waves
- Triglavian NPCs will only be hostile to capsuleers who have attacked them or their fleet
- NPCs will now orbit at ranges more suited to their weaponry
Sites are now visible within the Combat Anomalies section of both the AIR Opportunities and Agency windows
Info Panel objectives will now appear to help players keep track of the site’s current state
The activation range of the Assault Vector gate has been slightly increased
EDENCOM NPCs will now significantly outnumber Triglavians within the Assault Vector area
Cloaking is disabled while within proximity of a Stellar Observatory
Micro Jump Drives and Micro Jump Field Generators are disabled while within proximity of a Stellar Observatory
Warp drives are disabled while within proximity of a Stellar Observatory wreck
Pop-up and local chat messages have been replaced with one-time transmission conversations

Miscellaneous:

A new engineering structure with an item trader has appeared near the Shrouded Structure in Zarzakh.

Science & Industry:

The magmatic gas cost to run a Metenox moon drill has increased from 55 to 88 per hour. With more gas entering the economy, and the price of low-end moon materials such as R4s dropping in value, we want to increase the fuel cost of Metenox Moon Drills to raise the floor on what is profitable and create increased sinks and demands to meet the new supply of Magmatic Gas.

Technical:

When using the Chinese language on macOS 15 (Sequoia), the client would experience a performance drop due to an expected font being removed in this OS version. As a result, the font used for Chinese on macOS 15 has been updated, which resolves the performance issue and allows the overview to render correctly.

Patch Notes for 2024-10-3.1

Features & Changes:

Events:

The Crimson Harvest has begun! This Blood Raiders themed event runs until downtime on Tuesday November 5th 2024.
- Limited time combat and hacking sites are appearing all over Highsec, Lowsec, Nullsec, W-space, and Pochven, belonging to the opposing forces of the Blood Raider Covenant and the Order of St Tetrimon.
- Crimson Gauntlet and Tetrimon Base combat sites can be found in most areas of space. These sites should be approached with caution, and capsuleers are advised to fly a battlecruiser, battleship, heavy assault cruiser, or even more powerful vessels if they wish to investigate these locations. Rewards for looting the battleship NPCs found at the end of the sites include items that can be traded for ISK, SKINs, boosters, apparel and more!
- Crimson Harvest Network Node and Tetrimon Network Node data sites are also appearing across New Eden. These hacking sites contain network node structures that can be accessed for more great rewards!
- The Blood Raiders are capitalizing on the chaos erupting all over New Eden and are setting up more advanced bases in the warzone, Tetrimon loyalists are also deploying in the area to match their forces. These advanced versions of the combat and hacking sites can only be found within the areas containing the most heated fighting between Blood Raider and Tetrimon forces: the Blood Raider controlled systems within the Delve region and within the Eugidi, Angils and Essin constellations of the Metropolis region. These advanced sites are rarer and more challenging than the standard versions of the sites but they provide much greater rewards. Bringing a friend or two helps reduce the risk immensely, but beware of other capsuleers who may be searching for the same loot!
- The most elusive and valuable strongholds of the Blood Raiders and Order of Tetrimon can only be found by obtaining a rare escalation from the advanced combat sites.
- Both the Blood Raiders and the Order of Tetrimon are willing to reward capsuleers who attack their foes and hack their stash. Each character can choose between two options for the Agency challenges and reward track for this event. You will receive points for shooting and hacking the opposing side to the one you choose in the agency, and you will receive challenges themed around your chosen faction. Be aware that although you will only receive agency challenges and points for shooting and hacking the opposing side to the one you chose, there is no penalty for hitting both sides and taking the loot from both their sites.
- Every day of the Crimson Harvest will bring devilish login rewards. Alpha and Omega players get separate rewards, with Omegas enjoying both sets every day, and upgrading at any time during the event unlocks all previous Omega rewards. The tasty treats on offer include boosters, SKINs, SKINR nanocoatings and patterns, EverMarks, a generous amount of skill points and more. Get prepared and plan ahead, as not only will there be rewards given every day to those logging in, the 25th login during Crimson Harvest will be rewarded with skill points for Omega and for Alpha capsuleers.

Skills:

Added new skill Paragon Partnership for reducing Paragon HUB Vendor Fees when selling SKINs by 1% per level.

Defect Fixes:

Localization:

Fixed the skyhook reagent window being partially broken in multiple localized languages.

Patch Notes for 2024-10-2.1

Features & Changes:

User Interface:

The Character Select screen has been updated to celebrate the upcoming Crimson Harvest event.

Events:

The Crimson Harvest seasonal loot drop buff is arriving a day early! Starting today and lasting until the end of the event on 5 November, loot from destroyed capsuleer ships will drop at a higher rate, around 90% instead of the regular 50%. Find the pumpkin icon tagging the wrecks of your helpless victims and claim your bounties!

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

CONCORD Rogue Analysis Beacons (aka CRAB beacons) are no longer invulnerable, have their in-space UI covered up and no longer have 50% reduced link speed for the owner.
Fixed an issue which could cause players accessing the Orbital Skyhook Reagent window to see incorrect information about how many reagents were inside. (Live hotfix at 16:00 UTC)

Patch Notes for 2024-10-1.1

Features & Changes:

Sovereignty:

Skyhooks have now been updated to Upwell’s latest firmware → Equinox Update: Enhanced Skyhooks | EVE Online
- Skyhooks now have a Secure Bay and a Surplus Bay, rather than an Immature and Mature Bay.
- The Secure bay can be accessed by players on the ACL at any time, and 50% of all the materials harvested from the Skyhook enter into the secure bay.
- The Surplus bay can only be accessed through the Skyhook raiding gameplay, and contains the other 50% of the reagents generated.
- There is no longer any waste when raiding a Skyhook, you get 100% of the surplus bay contents on a successful raid, the secure bay is not affected.
- The Skyhook Reagent silo is now only vulnerable to being attacked during a 1 hour interval, every 3-4 days, the time period for the surplus bay is loosely based on the 6 hour exit window chosen by the Skyhook owner for their reinforcement timer.
  - It should be noted that while it is likely for a Skyhook theft event to come out in a timezone favorable to the defender, Skyhooks theft events can actually happen at any time of the day. Skyhooks use a gaussian distribution to determine the next vulnerability window.

In this example, a Skyhook has a 68.2% chance to come out sometime in the 17:00 to 23:00 window set by the defenders, but it does have also have a chance to come out at anytime of the day. There is a 27.2% chance that it will instead come out at some time in the 3 hour window before or after their preferred time, a 4.2% chance it will come out 6 hours before or after their preferred 6 hour long time window, or 0.2% chance to end up at a time in the completely opposite timezone.
If a Skyhook is not raided during it’s 1 hour interval, then it will reschedule a new time, and the materials in the surplus bay will remain inside and effectively roll over, meaning the next time it’s vulnerable, if it was raided, it would have 6-8 days worth of reagents inside and so on.
If a Skyhook is successfully raided, then its vulnerability will end early and reschedule, so any vulnerable Skyhook you raid will be guaranteed to have 3-4 days worth of reagents in it at minimum.
If the Skyhook owner changes the reinforcement timer of a Skyhook, then the current scheduled vulnerability will not change, and the new reinforcement timer will only have an influence on the Skyhook when the next Skyhook theft vulnerability window is chosen.
Skyhook owners can no longer offline or turn off Skyhooks on reagent planets (Ice/Lava).
Skyhook owners with the Station Manager or Director roles can see the vulnerability timers of their Skyhooks remotely using the my Skyhook page on the structure browser.
Skyhooks which are currently vulnerable can be seen by any player using the world map Vulnerable Skyhooks filter or by using the Colony Resources page in the Agency and choosing to view theft vulnerable Skyhooks.
All Players can also see the vulnerability schedule of a Skyhook if they warp to the Skyhook grid.
The Link period for players who are on the Skyhook Reagent ACL has been reduced to 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes.
Skyhooks will immediately alert everyone within 2 jumps of a Skyhook if a "friendly theft" is activated, just like the notification which would happen if a regular raid was at the 5 minute mark.
Skyhooks have a 50% chance to drop all of the contents in their Secure and Surplus bays when killed (just like regular player ships).

Patch Notes for 2024-09-19.1

Features & Changes:

Industry: In Yesterday’s patch, we reduced the inputs and outputs of the Genetic Safeguard, Genetic Lock Preserver, Genetic Structure Repairer and Genetic Mutation Inhibitor blueprints by a factor of 20, but did not change the blueprint manufacturing or copying attributes, which may have unintentionally throttled the construction of these items more on job time. We are, therefore, making the following changes:

Genetic Lock Preserver Blueprint
- Max Runs for blueprint copies increased from 40 to 400.
- Manufacturing time reduced from 16000 seconds to 1600 seconds.
- Copying time reduced from 12800 seconds to 1280 seconds.
Genetic Safeguard Filter Blueprint
- Max Runs for blueprint copies from 10 to 100.
- Manufacturing time reduced from 32000 seconds to 3200 seconds.
- Copying time reduced from 25600 seconds to 2560 seconds.
Genetic Structure Repairer Blueprint
- Max Runs for blueprint copies from 40 to 400.
- Manufacturing time reduced from 16000 seconds to 1600 seconds.
- Copying time reduced from 12800 seconds to 1280 seconds .
Genetic Mutation Inhibitor Blueprint
- Max Runs for blueprint copies from 40 to 400.
- Manufacturing time reduced from 16000 seconds to 1600 seconds.
- Copying time reduced from 12800 seconds to 1280 seconds.

Industry:

Several adjustments have been made to Capital Ship Manufacturing. The goal of these changes are streamlining capital manufacturing so that it’s easier for smaller producers to get involved as well as a slight reduction to the cost of building capital ships.
- Fulleroferrocene, PPD Fullerene Fibers, Fullerene Intercalated Graphite, Methanofullerene, Lanthanum Metallofullerene and Scandium Metallofullerene have been removed from Capital Construction Components.
- The amounts of Isogen and Mexallon required for construction of Capital Clone Vat Bay, Capital Doomsday Weapon Mount and Capital Jump Bridge Array have been reduced by 10%.
- The amounts of Fulleroferrocene, PPD Fullerene Fibers, Fullerene Intercalated Graphite, Methanofullerene, Lanthanum Metallofullerene and Scandium Metallofullerene required for the manufacture of FTL Interlinks have been significantly increased.
- Reinforced Carbon Fibre, Megacyte, Zydrine, Fullerides, Noxium, Isogen, Tritanium, Mexallon, Pyerite, Phenolic Composites and Racial Carbides have been removed from the manufacture of FTL Interlinks.
- The amount of Auto-Integrity Preservation Seals and Life Support Backup Units needed to manufacture Titans are increased by 100%.
- The amount of Trigger Neurolink Conduits needed to manufacture Titans are increased by 50%.
- The amount of Capital Core Regulators needed to manufacture Titans is increased by 25%.
- Genetic Lock Preserver Blueprints, Genetic Structure Repairer Blueprints, Genetic Mutation Inhibitor Blueprints and Genetic Safeguard Filter Blueprints have had their input materials reduced to 5 and output reduced to 1 (reduced by a factor of 20 for both) to make it easier to create them in smaller batches.
A small amount of tweaks has been made to Tech 1 Battleship Blueprints to bring down their current costs to make them more affordable, reduce the current Isogen bottleneck (which currently makes up almost 50% of their cost), and also make them more cost efficient than Navy Battleships which currently cost only 20-25% more than Tech 1 Battleships.
- Adjustments made to Tech 1 Battleships (does not include Navy or Pirate blueprints)
  - The amount of Isogen required is reduced from 400,000 to 200,000.
  - The amount of Nocxium required is increased from 12,000 to 24,000.
  - This represents, at the time of writing, an approximate 75 million ISK reduction to the cost of producing a Tech 1 Battleship from a ME:0 blueprint in an NPC station.
- Adjustments made to the Scorpion
  - The amount of Isogen required is reduced from 300,000 to 150,000.
  - The amount of Nocxium required is increased from 9,000 to 18,000.
We have also made some adjustments to the cost to produce Marauders and Black Ops. The main intention here is to keep their current price mostly the same or slightly higher, since both Black Ops and Marauders are incredibly strong right now and we don't want to unintentionally make them even more powerful by lowering their price. We are, therefore, increasing the amount of Reactor Units used in their blueprints, to make it so that they use primarily more R64 moon materials. This means that controlling valuable moons is more important for the production of Tech 2 Battleships.
- Adjustments made to Marauder Blueprints
  - The amount of Reactor Units required is increased from 225 to 675.
  - This represents a cost increase of approximately 60 million ISK at the time of writing these patch notes.
- Adjustments made to Black Ops Blueprints
  - The amount of Reactor Units required is increased from 150 to 450.
  - This represents a cost increase of approximately 40 million ISK at the time of writing these patch notes. Note that because the cost reduction of the Tech 1 Battleships used for production, the cost should remain roughly the same. It is possible that higher demand or market speculation for R64 materials may increase the costs in the future.

LP Stores:

New LP Store Offers have been added for military corporation LP stores - offering Navy Ship BPCs in exchange for LP and Nexus Chips, rather than LP and ISK.

Modules:

Smartbombs have undergone a full balance pass. All smartbombs in the game have been brought up to parity with the current EMP Smartbomb stats, which were better than the other damage types.
- Meta "Named" Smartbomb modules are now 'Compact' and use less powergrid.
- All compact meta smartbomb damage types now use the same 20% reduced CPU requirements that EM Smartbombs have.
- Added Storyline variations for the Kinetic and Thermal Smartbomb damage types which were missing before.
  - Players can obtain blueprint copies for these smartbombs from exploration content such as Data Sites, like most current storyline module blueprints.
  - Explosive Storyline Smartbombs have been buffed to now have the same values as the EM ones.
  - Storyline Smartbombs have received very small fitting buffs to keep them as the easiest to fit modules with the changes to Meta Smartbombs becoming the Compact variation.
- Faction and Officer smartbombs of non-EMP damage types have had their stats brought up to parity with EMP stats. We aim to not only bring the other smartbomb damage types up to par with EM, but to also make more interesting choices between the smartbomb damage types at Faction and Officer levels. Thus, after bringing them up to parity, the following changes were made:
  - Thermal Smartbombs: +20% range, -20% damage.
  - Explosive Smartbombs: +20% damage, -20% range.
  - Kinetic Smartbombs: -20% capacitor cost, -20% CPU cost, +20% cycle time.
- There now are 36 new Mutaplasmid types available to further customize and modify Smartbombs.
  - Smartbomb Mutaplasmids can modify the damage, range, cycle time, capacitor cost, CPU and powergrid requirements of Smartbombs.
  - Players can obtain these Mutaplasmids by completing regular Abyssal Filaments. The type of Filament that drops each Mutaplasmid type is based on the damage type associated with that Filament.
    - EMP (EM) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Electrical Filament Abyss.
    - Plasma (Thermal) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Firestorm Filament Abyss.
    - Proton (Explosive) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Gamma Filament Abyss.
    - Graviton (Kinetic) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Exotic Filament Abyss.
  - We will keep a close eye on the balance of missile "firewalling" strategies, Interdictor Bubble hitpoints for tackling Supercarriers and Titans, PVE Smartbomb balance, and Smartbomb gatecamps following these changes.
Frigate and Cruiser Officers and Officer modules
- New Officer Frigate and Officer Cruiser NPCs have been added to the game.
  - Officer Frigates can appear incredibly rarely in 0.5 rated high security space asteroid belts.
  - Officer Cruisers can appear incredibly rarely in 0.1 and 0.2 rated low security space asteroid belts.
- 50+ New Officer modules have been added to the game.
  - 1mn and 10mn Afterburners
  - 5mn and 50mn MWDs
  - Small and Medium Energy Neutralizers
  - Small and Medium Energy Nosferatus
  - Small and Medium Armor Repairers and Shield Boosters
  - ECM modules and Signal Distortion Amplifiers
  - Micro Auxiliary Power Cores
  - 200mm and 425mm Autocannons, Light and Heavy Neutron Blasters, Small Focused and Heavy Pulse Lasers, Rocket and Heavy Assault Missile launchers.
  - Assault Damage Controls
  - Warp Disruption Field Generator
  - And more!
Gistii B-type and Gistum B-type shield boosters
- Increased shield boost amount so that they now bridge the gap between C-type and A-type, rather than barely being better than the C-type while using more capacitor. This means they now follow the same precedent set by the large and x-large shield boosters.
  - Gistii B-type Small Shield Booster shield boost amount: increased to 48 from 41.
  - Gistum B-type Medium Shield Booster shield boost amount: increased to 144 from 124.

Pochven:

Mobile Observatory deployables can now be deployed in Pochven.
Rebalanced the web strength of several Minmatar EDENCOM NPCs which had stronger than 100% webs.

Sovereignty:

New Sovereignty Mining Upgrades
- 7 Small Mining Upgrades have been added, one for each mineral type. These new upgrades cost significantly less Power and Workforce than the current mining upgrades, making them far more flexible. They also respawn significantly faster, with 1 hour long respawn times, and they utilize the same mechanics as the Equinox Combat Upgrades where they can respawn instantly if the time between the last spawn was long enough. These new upgrades provide about 1⁄8th of the ore of the existing upgrades, and do not escalate to the Mining Escalation, nor have a chance to spawn Mercoxit sites, which is being kept as an exclusive for the existing mining upgrades.
  - Tritanium Prospecting Array 1 - 500,000 m3 of Tritanium providing ores.
  - Pyerite Prospecting Array 1 - 1,000,000 m3 of Pyerite providing ores.
  - Mexallon Prospecting Array 1 - 375,000 m3 of Mexallon providing ores.
  - Isogen Prospecting Array 1 - 325,000 m3 of Isogen providing ores.
  - Nocxium Prospecting Array 1 - 325,000 m3 of Nocxium providing ores.
  - Zydrine Prospecting Array 1 - 750,000 m3 of Zydrine providing ores.
  - Megacyte Prospecting Array 1 - 500,000 m3 of Megacyte providing ores.
  - Power Cost: 500
  - Workforce Cost: 6400
- Additionally, several asteroids added in Equinox have had their 3D model sizes increased so they look more impressive.
Major Threat Detection Array 1 & 2
- We've increased the number of sites provided by the level 1 and level 2 upgrades, especially for low truesec bands. See the tables below for the exact changes

Homefront Operations:

Increased the bonus percentages for Abyssal Artifact Recovery weather effects to 20% (from 10%).
Penalty percentages for Abyssal Artifact Recovery weather effects will now scale with the difficulty tier.
Increase the initial setup timer in Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites to 90 seconds (from 60).
Increase the escape timer in Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites to 60 seconds (from 45).
Decreased the collision radius of Destabilizing Array objects in Stabilize Rift sites.

Zarzakh:

Due to a mysterious surprise attack from the Drifters, The Fulcrum has activated an “Emanation lock” on the stargates into Zarzakh and within the system of Zarzakh, preventing the Drifters from accessing Zarzakh by any means; this has temporarily stalled the drifter attack for now…
- Whenever a player enters Zarzakh from a stargate, they will become locked to that stargate and get an emanation lock timer for 6 hours. Players will only be able to leave Zarzakh through the stargate they are locked to for the next 6 hours.
  - Players can always leave Zarzakh through the Deathless Shipcaster, Clone Jumping or being pod killed, even with an Emanation lock.
  - If players do not have an Emanation lock timer, they can leave through any gate.
  - The Emanation lock is only given when entering Zarzakh, not when leaving it.
- If a player is outside Zarzakh with an Emanation lock timer, they can enter through any gate (It only prevents you from leaving Zarzakh). Entering Zarzakh from any gate will overwrite any old emanation lock timer with a new timer. You can only be locked to one gate at any time.
- Being pod killed into Zarzakh (If you have your home station set there) or clone jumping into Zarzakh is always possible regardless of Emanation Lock status.
- Warp Disruption Probes (From Interdiction Sphere Launcher modules fitted to Interdictors) and unscripted warp disruption field generator modules (from Heavy Interdictors) can no longer be used in Zarzakh.
- Escalations can no longer route a player through Zarzakh.
- Autopilot will no longer route a player through Zarzakh.
- If a player is inside Zarzakh with an Emanation lock, then Autopilot will consider the players Emanation lock and not route them through a gate they cannot use.
Zarzakh is under siege! Drifter and Sleeper forces have begun launching attacks within the four systems connecting to Zarzakh.
- Horizon Siege Point sites have begun appearing within the connecting systems. Capsuleers must keep the Drifter siege engine from becoming fully online within these sites. The device is only vulnerable while it is active. Be warned! While in this state, the engine will call for Drifter and Sleeper reinforcements.
- Roaming fleets of hostiles patrol these systems, targeting any capsuleers they find.

Defect Fixes:

Homefront Operations:

Info Panel objectives will now reappear if warp is started and then cancelled within ongoing sites.
Mine and escape Info Panel objectives will now appear when arriving at an ongoing Abyssal Artifact Recovery site.
Fixed a minor formatting issue in Traffic Stop site Operational Intel text.
Drifter NPCs in Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites will now have their shield hitpoints applied correctly.

Patch Notes for 2024-09-05.1

Features & Changes:

Deepflow Rift:

Increased the rate at which Deepflow Adaptive Canisters can be found.
Instability will now stack when multiple tractor beams are activated simultaneously. Each tractor beam will be applied separately.
- As each tractor beam will cause instability, manage your modules carefully so as to not disturb what lies beyond the rift. Be sure to have the opportunities window opened to best gauge rift instability.

Defect Fixes:

Deepflow Rift:

Deepflow Adaptive Canisters can no longer be found once the 27 canister limit is reached.
Electron Spin Resonance items now use their correct icon.

SKINR - New Feature: Sharing Saved Designs

Drag and Drop SKIN Designs:
- Players can now drag their saved SKIN Designs directly from the Saved Designs list on SKINR’s main page into chat for easy sharing.
Link Icon for Saved Designs:
- When selecting a saved SKIN Design on the main page, a link icon will appear. Drag this icon into chat to instantly share your design with others.

- Clicking on a shared SKIN Design link in chat will now open SKINR directly in Studio mode. The design will load with all details filled in as per the original, ready for you to edit.
Design Ownership Display:
- Upon opening a shared design, the original creator's name will be displayed. Players can then modify the design and rename it, making it their own unique creation.

Defect Fixes:

Graphics:

Archon now correctly maps materials to the tech slot within the SKINR and previously sequenced SKINs should now match the designed SKIN.

Patch Notes for 2024-08-27.1

Features & Changes:

Homefront Operations:

Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites have been overhauled:

After an initial set-up period, asteroids from beyond the rift will appear and a timer will begin.
Payouts will now be received if all asteroids are depleted when the timer ends.
- If successful, there will be a short cooldown before another wave of asteroids appears.
- If unsuccessful, no additional waves will appear, and the site will end.
Following the arrival of every wave are unpredictable effects and hostile NPCs determined to disrupt your progress.
- Hostile NPCs within the site will no longer target drones.
- The damage of Triglavian NPCs has been reduced.
Faulty Triglavian Caches now have a chance to appear whenever an asteroid is depleted.
- These caches are now destructible with lootable wrecks, like in Abyssal Deadspace.
- The contents of the caches have been greatly increased.
- Be quick! Caches will be lost if an asteroid appears in their place, and their wrecks do not last long in the chaotic environment.
As before, a warp disruption field will be active within the site whenever at least one asteroid is present.
The longer the site progresses, the greater the rewards and challenges become!
The repair amounts of logistics NPCs appearing in all sites have been decreased.
Combat NPCs appearing in all sites will now have a maximum orbit range of 30km.

PVE:

Deepflow Rift sites
- Mysterious rifts, seemingly connected to the depths of the Triglavian abyss, have begun appearing throughout the cluster and beyond. Though they are untraversable by capsuleers, a tractor beam may be able to dredge up items of interest from the other side.

Defect Fixes:

Graphics:

Some objects like ice asteroids have had their texture scaling fixed.

Homefront Operations:

Fixed an issue causing conversations to not appear when arriving at a site that was already completed.

Patch Notes for 2024-08-22.1

Fixed a client-side exception, and It’s now possible to shift drag drones from your hangar into a simulated ships drone bay.
Viewing solar systems in the colony resources agency page which do not have any workforce will no longer have a ‘no workforce label’ error instead of the workforce icon. Instead, in systems with no workforce, the icon will be hidden from view.
Fixed UI elements overflowing with the Metenox moon drill mining details page when there are more than 4 moon materials being mined.
Fixed an issue where the tooltip would not appear when a player moused over the last broadcast message in a fleet if the person who broadcasted left the fleet.
Fixed a missing tooltip label when mousing over the Skyhook Icon in the solar system info panel which appears when a raid is taking place in the solar system.
Increased the width of the quantity field in the NES, so that now 2 digits are shown clearly.
Fixed an erroneous tooltip warning that would appear when attempting to place a command center on a planet for PI in an Upwell Hauler when they had command centers in their Infrastructure Hold stating that the command center was not found in the cargo hold.
The industry window is no longer case sensitive when sorting through owned blueprints. I.e. EM Pulse Generator blueprint will now no longer be displayed above Electrolytic Capacitor Unit Blueprint when sorting by name ascending.
Fixed the width on the industry window dropdown filters so they are now large enough to include the full name instead of being cut off.

Features & Changes:

Mining Upgrades:

🤝 We’re making several adjustments to the mining sites provided by the new Equinox sovereignty upgrades based on player and CSM feedback over the last few weeks. We’re increasing the quantity of ore available in all of the sites, especially for the Zydrine and Megacyte Prospecting Array upgrades which competed with the existing colossal asteroid cluster site the most directly. We’re also combining many of the smaller asteroids in all of the sites so that the size of each asteroid is large enough to take multiple cycles from strip miners to mine out. We’re also completely overhauling the mining escalation by making it far more likely for players to get the escalation, more than doubling it in size and replacing the existing asteroids with Spodumain, Abyssal Asteroids and Mercoxit. So it will now be vastly more exciting and the most rewarding mining site in the game.

All Prospecting Array upgrades
- Several asteroids have been combined so that the majority of asteroids in each location require multiple strip miner cycles to mine out.
Isogen Prospecting Array (Griemeer Deposit)
- Total Ore Volume increased from 2,631,000 m3 to 3,000,000 m3.
Megacyte Prospecting Array (Ueganite Deposit)
- Total Ore Volume increased from 1,982,287 m3 to 4,000,000 m3.
Mexallon Prospecting Array (Kylxium Deposit)
- Total Ore Volume increased from 2,040,000 m3 to 3,000,000m3.
Nocxium Prospecting Array (Noxcite Deposit)
- Total Ore Volume increased from 2,100,008 m3 to 3,000,000 m3.
Pyerite Prospecting Array (Mordunium Deposit)
- Total Ore Volume increased from 4,500,000 m3 to 6,000,000 m3.
- Rebalanced the ore content of the site to a smaller overall percentage of Mordunium asteroids and more Omber and Hedbergite to improve the average isk/hr of mining in the site.
Tritanium Prospecting Array (Veldspar Deposit)
- Total Ore Volume increased from 3,000,000 m3 to 4,000,000 m3.
Zydrine Prospecting Array (Hezorime Deposit)
- Total ore Volume increased from 2,015,799 m3 to 5,970,000 m3.
- The size of several asteroids have been vastly increased to make this site very comparable to the Colossal Asteroid Cluster, with 24+ asteroids bigger than 100,000m3 and a behemoth 600,000m3 asteroid.
Mining Escalation
- Shrouded Asteroid Cluster has been overhauled and is now the Interstitial Ore Deposit.
- The chance of acquiring the mining escalation has been greatly increased.
- Total Ore Volume increased from 3,750,000 to 8,480,000 m3.
- All asteroids have been replaced with Spodumain, Abyssal Asteroids and a small amount of Mercoxit.

Combat Upgrades:

🤝 We’re making a few tweaks to the combat upgrades provided by the Minor and Major Threat Detection Arrays. Firstly, we’re greatly decreasing the maximum possible respawn time for the sites spawned from their upgrades from 20 minutes to 12 minutes. For context, the old sovereignty upgrade sites respawned between 20 to 12 minutes based on the level of upgrade that spawned them, for an average respawn time of 16 minutes. This now means that there is no single case where a site from the old system could respawn faster than the same site in the new system, and the maximum possible respawn time is now 25% faster than the old average respawn time before you even factor in the improved respawning logic that the new sites use - where the time the site was spawned is used to determine the respawning time, rather than when the site was completed. Additionally, we’re also increasing the number of combat sites provided by most upgrades by 1, and also increasing the expiration time for the new capital focused escalations based on feedback we got from players struggling to complete or sell them in time due to fatigue/logistics of moving capitals.

Capital focused escalations (Shielded/Infested Starbase and the Capital Staging/Hive sites)
- Escalation Expiration timer from 24 hours to 72 hours.
Minor and Major Threat Detection Arrays.
- Maximum Respawn Time reduced from 20 minutes to 12 minutes
- An additional combat anomaly has been added to most upgrades
- Adjusted anomalies spawned by Major Threat Detection Arrays in drone space to increase the amount of Drone Horde and Drone Patrol sites by replacing some or all of the Squad and Herd sites.

The new sets of sites spawned by each upgrade tier in each security band are as follows:

Patch Notes for 2024-07-16.1

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Adjusted the fitting warning message that appears for the Bowhead and Avalanche that warned you against fitting propulsion modules to them such as a 500mn MicrowarpDrive and advising you to fit capital sized propulsion modules (10000mn, 50000mn) which neither ship could fit. Instead, it now warns you that it could be inefficient to fit propulsion modules to the ships and may give less of a speed boost than you expect.

Localization:

Removed "Metallic" from being appended to the end of some Design Elements to make them uniform with others.

Patch Notes for 2024-07-12.1

Defect Fixes:

Fixed an issue that was causing respawn timers of certain combat anomalies to be too low.
- The combat anomaly sites spawned by the new sovereignty hub upgrades are intended to respawn faster than anomalies spawned by older upgrades when completed at average speeds, providing a better experience for the vast majority of players. In Equinox, the respawn timers for these sites were adjusted to begin counting down when the previous site spawned instead of when the previous site was completed, causing the effective wait time for the next site to be variable depending on how quickly you completed the previous site. This means that instant respawns of sites are intended to happen in some cases, but not when chaining sites extremely quickly using multiple ships and optimal tactics.
- In today's patch, we have partially addressed an issue that had been causing the intended cooldowns to not apply properly. This issue was most significantly affecting systems where the combat anomalies were being chain completed in a very short period due to hyper-optimized tactics with multiple characters. Respawn times can still be instant in some situations, especially when the sites are being run at average speeds, but they will no longer be instant every time when the sites are being completed very quickly.

Patch Notes For 2024-07-11.1

- It can be turned on by going to Markers in the world map settings and then checking the Sovereignty Hub's box.
- You can only see the status of Sovereignty Hubs that your corporation owns. Ones that belong to your alliance but not your corporation will show up as grey.
- Sovereignty Hubs can be configured from this map view by right clicking on the sovhub workforce icon and then choosing the 'edit configuration' option.

Defect Fixes:

Graphics:

VFX glow color on SOE ships are now correctly blue again (instead of lime green).
Removed a clipping rock from an acceleration gate on “Vengeance” mission site.
Turrets now correctly oriented on Khizriel.

Fixed several cases where localized text was overlapping or overflowing in the item trader window.

User Interface:

It’s now possible to expand the columns in the Sovereignty Hub configuration window.
The Recipe drop down list in the item trader window should be clearer and easier to understand.
Added a tooltip for when the trade is disabled because you are missing the required items in the item trader window.
Fixed a client side exception when simulating a fit, moving the drone quantity down to 0, and then moving it back up again.

Patch Notes For 2024-07-05.1

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Reduced the minimum distance that Skyhooks can be deployed next to stargates and structures from 100,000km to 1,000km. This range was rarely and sporadically blocking skyhooks from being able to be deployed on planets which were very close to stargates/structures.

Patch Notes For 2024-07-04.1

Features & Changes:

Structures & Deployables:

Skyhooks now have ingame notifications when they are deployed, go online, are attacked, are reinforced and are destroyed.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Upwell Structure related ammo items in the charge category will now more consistently move into the Infrastructure Hold, such as Standup Bombs, Flak Ammo, Standup ECM Scripts, Structure Anticapital and Structure Anticapital missiles.

Gameplay:

Skyhooks and Metenox Moon Drills can now be found on the directional scanner and be probed with combat scanner probes.

Localization:

Fixed a typo in the description of Nocxium.
Fixed a typo in the description of the Sansha's Nation Occupied Mine escalation message.

User Interface:

It’s no longer possible to try and configure a Skyhook while you have it in your inventory / cargo, or while it’s still onlining.
The sovhub configuration menu will no longer let you drag an upgrade in from location that is not your ship and will display a user error when you try. (It would let you before in the simulation but would fail when trying to save).
Fixed an exception which occurred when closing the Sov Hub window from the corporation management window.

Patch Notes For 2024-06-28.1

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Fixed an issue which caused strategic upgrades installed in sovereignty hubs running in the new system to continue to provide their effects until downtime if the sovereignty hub was destroyed.

User Interface:

Patch Notes For 2024-06-27.1

Features & Changes:

Sovereignty Transition

Check out this devblog for more information on Sovereignty Updates: Transition & Upgrades | EVE Online
Players with the appropriate roles in the corp which owns the Sovereignty Hub (Director or CEO) will now be able to choose to transition their sovereignty hub over to the new system.
All outstanding bills will need to be paid for a sov hub before it can transition.
When choosing to transition, a snapshot is taken of all of the current Strategic Upgrades installed in the sov hub (such as cynosural suppression and advanced logistics network) and these will remain active and functional until the next downtime, this means that players can transition to the new system and won’t have to worry about structures such as Tenebrex Cyno Jammers and Ansiblex Jump Gates going offline after transitioning, and they’ll stay online the entire time if they’re able to install and turn on the new equivalent upgrades before the next downtime.
All currently installed Military and Industrial upgrades will also continue to provide their sites until the next downtime. It should be noted that the new mining and combat upgrades will not have their sites appear until the downtime after they have been installed.
When a player chooses to transfer over to the new system, all of the old currently installed upgrades in the sovereignty hub will be moved to the HQ station delivery hangar of the corp which owns the sov hub for future reimbursement, when the sov hub also usurps the sovereignty claim from the TCU, the TCU will also be returned to the owning corporations HQ system delivery hangar.
It’s no longer possible for old sovereignty upgrades to be manufactured again. In the coming months, reimbursement will come to players who own the old upgrades, TCUs and their blueprints, this may come in the form of NPC buy orders, updating the refining costs to 100% build cost or converting old types into new types where it makes sense, more firm details will be provided at a later date.

Transitory Structure Rig Amnesty

All currently existing structures in sov nullsec will temporarily be able to remove their rigs without destroying them during the transition period which is from now until the next expansion which is scheduled for November.
This will only apply to rigs on structures anchored before 27 June.
Only players with the Station Manager role (Or Director/CEO) of the corporation which owns the structure will be able to take the rigs off.
Special rigs which are fitted to any remaining old nullsec converted outposts which became the special faction fortizars are not able to be removed, while other normal rigs can be removed from faction fortizars.
This only applies to structures in sov nullsec which can be claimed by player alliances. (even if it’s unclaimed or owned by a different alliance). This does not apply to structures which are located in other ‘lawless’ systems with a negative security rating such as NPC Nullsec or Wormhole space.

Upgrade Balance Adjustments

Adjusted the power provided by suns, so that the lowest power suns now start at 500 TW, rather than at 150 TW, the amount of power that the best suns still provide is 1000 TW. Suns that had power values between 150 TW and 1000 TW have had their amount provided increased to match the new scaling between 500 and 1000 TW of power.
The power, workforce and reagent costs of several upgrades have been adjusted
- Reminder that you can see the full details in the Equinox System Resource Data spreadsheet.
Advanced Logistics Network (Enables Ansiblex Jump Gates)
- Power cost reduced from 1500 to 1250
- Workforce cost increased from 18000 to 25000
- Superionic Ice consumption cost increased from 33 to 40 units per hour
- Superionic Ice fuel startup cost increased from 2250 to 2750 units
Supercapital Construction Facilities (Enables Standup Supercapital Shipyard)
- Power cost reduced from 2000 to 1750
- Workforce cost reduced from 20000 to 17500
- Superionic Ice consumption cost reduced from 220 to 145 units per hour
- Superionic Ice fuel startup cost reduced from 15000 to 10000 units
Cynosural Suppression (Enables Tenebrex Cyno Jammer)
- Power cost reduced from 800 to 500
- Workforce cost reduced from 6400 to 5000
- Magmatic Gas consumption cost increased from 1750 to 2480 units per hour
- Magmatic Gas fuel startup cost increased from 120000 to 170000 units
Cynosural Navigation (Enables Pharolux Cyno Beacon)
- Magmatic Gas consumption cost decreased from 1100 to 1095 units per hour
Minor Threat Detection Array 1
- Workforce cost reduced from 2700 to 1890

Mining Upgrade Adjustments:

Changes made to new Ore types provided by the new mining upgrades.

All variations of Kylixium
- Volume reduced from 1.5m3 to 1.2m3
All variations of Griemeer
- Volume reduced from 1m3 to 0.8m3
All variations of Noxcite
- Volume reduced from 6m3 to 4m3
All variations of Ueganite
- Volume reduced from 8m3 to 5m3
Hezorime
- Volume reduced from 8m3 to 5m3
- Tritanium from refining 100 units increased from 1600 to 2000
- Isogen from refining 100 units increased from 80 to 120
Dull Hezorime
- Volume reduced from 8m3 to 5m3
- Tritanium from refining 100 units increased from 1680 to 2100
- Isogen from refining 100 units increased from 84 to 126
Serrated Hezorime
- Volume reduced from 8m3 to 5m3
- Tritanium from refining 100 units increased from 1760 to 2200
- Isogen from refining 100 units increased from 88 to 132
Sharp Hezorime
- Volume reduced from 8m3 to 5m3
- Tritanium from refining 100 units increased from 1840 to 2300
- Isogen from refining 100 units increased from 92 to 138

Additionally, all mining upgrades will now also have a small chance of spawning a Large Mercoxit Cluster Site.

These changes will make the new ore types more valuable than before, reducing the volume of the ores will make them provide higher minerals per hour when mined (Because mining yields are based on m3) and therefore higher ISK per hour.

TCUs no longer provide a flat 25% bonus to fuel bays of control towers.
TCUs no longer provide an evemail notification to the corporation which owns it when a control tower is anchored in their space
- (Both of these have been in effect since Equinox launched)

Equinox: Expansion Notes

EVE Online Team — Fri, 07 Jun 2024 17:00:00 GMT

Hello spacefriends!

The Equinox expansion is just around the corner, arriving at 11:00 UTC 11 June! As with previous expansions, we are delivering the patch notes early so you can absorb everything that's coming. We invite you to join the player discussion about the content of this release on the EVE Online Discord and the EVE Online Forums.

Expansion Notes 22.01 - EVE Online: Equinox

Nullsec Sov Changes

The Equinox expansion introduces significant updates to nullsec sovereign space, with Upwell structures, notably the Orbital Skyhook, Sovereignty Hub, and Metenox Moon Drill.

Orbital Skyhooks, replacing Customs Offices, will be essential for extracting new resources like Power, Workforce, and Reagents from planets. However, this also introduces a new vulnerability as some of these structures can be hacked, and all of them can be destroyed by players, creating new opportunities for conflict and resource theft. Furthermore, their presence attracts pirate attention, adding another layer of risk.

The Sovereignty Hub replaces existing territorial structures and introduces upgrades to enhance player-controlled nullsec systems. These upgrades offer strategic choices for specializing controlled systems, leading to territorial conflicts and dynamic gameplay. For instance, the Pirate Detection Array upgrade can reveal high-value combat sites with escalation potential, while other upgrades unlock hidden ore deposits. Additionally, the Metenox Moon Drill, a new deployable structure, allows automated moon mining in lowsec, nullsec, and wormhole space, opening up resource opportunities for smaller groups and creating new targets for aggressors.

Orbital Skyhook

Replacing the Customs Office, the Orbital Skyhook takes the form of an anchor, and will be required to extract resources from planets. It not only replaces but retains the functionality of the Customs Office as a resource interface for planetary industry, but also enables the extraction of new colony resources introduced with Equinox. Skyhooks can be attached to all planet types, but only within player-owned sovereign nullsec space, and only one can be placed in orbit of each planet.

Power - Power is provided by the sun, with larger blue suns giving the most power, and small orange suns giving the least power, it is also provided by gas, storm and plasma planets. Power cannot be moved and is local to the solar system.
Workforce - Workforce is provided by the working population available on suitable planets, which are barren, oceanic and temperate planets. Workforce can be imported and exported via the Sov Hub through different solar systems that the same alliance controls, as long as the systems are directly connected together.
Reagents - Reagents come from ice and lava planets and have to be manually collected and moved.
- Magmatic Gas - Is provided by lava planets and is used to fuel the Metenox moon drill, as well as the Cynosural Navigation (Pharolux cyno beacon) and the Cynosural Suppression (Tenebrex cyno jammer) upgrades.
- Superionic Ice - Is provided by ice planets and is used to fuel the Advanced Logistics Network (Ansiblex Jump Gate) and the Supercapital Construction Facilities upgrades.
Take Access to the Reagent Bay is governed by an ACL on the Skyhook, which can be set by players with the Station Config Manager role, Directors or the CEO of a corporation.
Immature Reagents will be produced over time from Skyhooks anchored at lava and ice planets, and will slowly become mature, at which point they can be extracted by players. Skyhook maturation yield will gradually improve over time as their immature bay fills up. If a Skyhook is stolen from, then the thief will steal 40% of both the immature and mature bay contents and will destroy the rest. This loss resets the improved ramping maturation yield, making defending Skyhooks important.
Reagents can be stolen by linking to the Skyhook Reagent Silo which is present at Skyhooks that are harvesting reagents from ice and lava planets. To link to a Silo, players will need to shoot it to below 10% Shield HP first, and then will need to link to it using a ship which is cruiser sized or larger including Capital ships but excluding Freighters and Jump Freighters. While linked, players cannot warp, use micro jump drives, cloak or tether, and their maximum velocity is capped at 1000m/s. Additionally, starting a theft on a Skyhook Silo will send a notification to all players in the solar system, and after 2 minutes, all pilots 1 jump away, and finally, after 5 minutes, an additional notification to all pilots within 2 jumps. After 10 minutes have passed, the theft will succeed, and a cargo bay will eject loot from the Silo for anyone to collect.
The Orbital Skyhook has a single reinforcement cycle, with similar hitpoints, resistances and damage cap to existing upwell medium structures, such as the Raitaru and Athanor.
Corporations who own a Customs Office at a planet can replace it with a Skyhook by going to their Customs Office and deploying a Skyhook. The Customs Office will then be replaced with a Skyhook and all the PI commodities inside the custom office will automatically be transferred into the Skyhook.
If a corporation wants to deploy a Skyhook at a planet which contains another corporations Customs Office, they will need to destroy the Customs Office before they can deploy a Skyhook.
Pirate Asteroid Belt NPCs can show up at Skyhooks.
Blueprint Originals for the Skyhook can be obtained from all Upwell Consortium corporation member NPC stations for an ISK cost of 5.5 billion ISK.

For those interested in seeing the values for Power, Workforce and Reagents for all the nullsec systems in New Eden + SOV upgrade costs, you can download a spreadsheet with all that juicy info here: Equinox System Resource Data!

skyhook ice 03

Orbital Skyhook Input Material Requirements:

Structure Construction Parts	1
Structure Storage Bay	2
Structure Reprocessing Plant	1
Structure Office Center	1
Structure Acceleration Coils	2

Sovereignty Hub

A new modular structure that is dedicated to governing a star system and the colonies and infrastructure it contains. The Sovereignty Hub will be the center of operations for capsuleer alliances for the control of nullsec systems.

The Sovereignty Hub is placed around the star in a system and is the central location for installing and managing sovereignty upgrades. Authorized capsuleers can interact with the Sovereignty Hub to allocate colony resources to installed upgrades.
- On expansion day, all existing Infrastructure Hubs will be replaced with the new SovHubs graphics, name and description, and their location will automatically be moved 2,000,000km from the sun.

SovHub prob4

Territorial Claim Unit

TCUs will continue to represent the legacy claim in a system that hasn't yet had a Sovereignty Hub deployed, or where the IHub hasn't yet transitioned.
New TCUs can no longer be deployed or captured if they were previously deployed but not captured.
Any ongoing TCU campaigns will be cancelled.
TCUs can no longer be targeted by entosis and so cannot be used to remove a claim.
Instead, an attacker must usurp the claim by capturing the Sovereignty Hub in the system.

Sov Upgrades

Sovereignty Upgrades provide the primary use for the new Colony Resources: Power, Workforce, and Reagents, as Colony Resources are required to online these upgrades.
All of the Sov Upgrades BPOs for the Sov Hub in the new Sovereignty mode will be available for purchase on the market on expansion day and can be built ahead of time.
- They will not, however, be able to be installed or functional until the Sov Transition is enabled on 20 June 2024. - more on that later in the blog.

Sov ui 02

List of Sov Upgrades

New Mining sites that the Prospecting Arrays can provide

Veldspar Deposit - Contains an abundance of Veldspar.

Hezorime Deposit - Contains a new ore Hezorime that is abundant in Zydrine and contains amounts of Tritanium and Isogen.
Ueganite Deposit - Contains a new ore Ueganite that is abundant in Megacyte and Tritanium.

These new Ore Deposits will not require new skills to mine.

Undiscovered Asteroid Belt Escalation

Additionally, players completing any of the above asteroid belts have a small chance to get the first ever mining escalation! This site contains a massive amount of all types of Ore.

Forsaken Sanctum

A set of new more challenging and rewarding combat anomalies have been added and are exclusively available through the new Major Threat Detection Array upgrades at the Sovereignty Hub. These sites are known as Forsaken Sanctums for the main pirate factions, and Teeming Drone Hordes for the Rogue Drones.

These new sites include larger numbers of higher difficulty NPCs than the existing Sanctum and Drone Horde anomalies, and some of the new NPCs will shoot at drones and fighters more readily than the NPCs in existing nullsec combat anomalies. These sites are especially well suited to be defeated by capsuleers flying battleships and marauders.

Sovereignty Hub Transition

For an in-depth explanation of the SovHub transition, you can visit the Sovereignty, Structures & Transition devblog.

(Planned for 20 June 2024)

The Sovereignty Hub’s capabilities grow as upgrades are added for coordinating defense, industry, resources, and logistics. Each dedicated upgrade requires a mix of colony resources in the form of workforce, power, and reagents, and apart from the base power generated from the stellar flux, these must be provided by planetary exploitation through the new Orbital Skyhooks.

The Sovereignty Hub will generate some amount of energy for the system. The amount of energy generated by this structure is determined by an attribute on the star.
When a SovHub registers the claim (either a new one, or due to transition) any TCU in the system will be destroyed.

Upgrades

(Planned for 20 June 2024)

Once an alliance has deployed a new Sov Hub in Sov Hub mode or chosen to transition their Sov Hub from IHub Mode to Sov Hub Mode, they are then able to install the new upgrades listed above.
Upgrades cannot be installed if the energy cost of installed upgrades (regardless of state) would exceed the potential energy which the system could produce (assuming all planets had skyhooks installed).
Upgrades cannot be uninstalled once installed. They can be turned offline, but the only way to remove them is to destroy them like a ship rig, which is only doable by capsuleers with the appropriate roles to do.
Upgrades can be prioritized, capsuleers with the appropriate roles can do this. Higher priority upgrades are served first for available colony resources (energy, population and consumables). This gives the player control over which upgrades go offline first in case of resource shortfall where all installed upgrades do not have the necessary resources to run. An example of where a shortfall could happen would be a skyhook being destroyed.

Metenox Moon Drill

(Planned for 13 June 2024)

Another deployable structure being introduced is the Metenox Moon Drill. Fueled in part by fuel blocks and also by Magmatic Gas harvested from lava planets. This structure can be deployed at moon mining points in lowsec, nullsec, and wormhole space. The Metenox will be less efficient than manual extraction by players using an Athanor or Tatara, but instead, it slowly collects the resources obtained from mining and refining moon ores over time at a rate of 40% efficiency. Players can control who has access to take the moon materials it harvests with an ACL.

The Metenox Moon Drill features a unique reinforcement flow. Once it has been deployed, the Metenox will not have automatic repairs like other Upwell Structures, instead, players will need to manually repair the shield and armor if it gets attacked. The Metenox has a single reinforcement cycle in Hull, once it leaves reinforcement, it will need to be repaired to 100% Shield OR 100% Armor HP in order to fully repair itself and gain the reinforcement cycle back and be able to have the service module turned on again, the Metenox does not have a damage cap like other Upwell Structures, and instead behaves a lot more like an old moon mining POS prior to the Lifeblood expansion.
Shield HP: 1,000,000 (4,000,000 when high power), 75% resists.
Armor HP: 1,000,000 (4,000,000 high power), 75% resists.
Hull HP: 24,000,000, 0% resists
The Metenox provides no defenses, weaponry or tether ability.
Only a single Metenox, Athanor or Tatara can be at the same moon mining location at any time.
If a Metenox is reinforced, the moon materials it has in the Moon Mineral hangar are trapped and will be dropped as loot when it is destroyed.
Metenox moon Drills will require an Integrated Moon Drill Armature to be built, and will always drop it at a 100% rate, this functions as a built in Upwell Quantum Core. The cost of the core is 300 million ISK in Upwell Consortium member stations.
The Metenox Moon Drill blueprint is available from Upwell member NPC stations for 6 billion ISK.

New Upwell Haulers and Freighter

As part of the Equinox expansion, 4 brand new upwell themed industrial ships are being released. These include a Hauler, two additional tech II hauler variations for a blockade runner and deep space transport, as well as a capital-sized Freighter. These ships feature the brand-new Infrastructure hold, high amounts of missile firepower for their size and above average speeds.

Squall

Deluge

Torrent

Avalanche

Infrastructure Hold

The Infrastructure hold is a brand-new type of specialized cargo hangar which is capable of carrying a large number of infrastructure related items. This includes upwell related structures such as citadels and flex structures, structure modules, service modules, fuel related items, sovereignty infrastructure, sovereignty upgrades, reagents, moon materials, planetary commodities and more.

Skill Requirements

We are adding 3 new skills related to the Upwell Hauling ships, this includes one skill for flying the medium sized hauler and the tech 2 variations, one skill for the Upwell Freighter, and an additional skill for inventing and building the Tech II Variations.

Upwell Haulers [x4]: 2,000,000 ISK at all Upwell Consortium member corporation stations.
Upwell Freighters [x10]: 80,000,000 ISK at all Upwell Consortium member corporation stations.
Upwell Starship Engineering [x5]: 10,000,000 ISK and 15,000 LP at Factional Warfare Empire Militia LP Stores.
Upwell Haulers is required to fly the Squall Tech 1 Hauler at level 1 and needs to be trained to level 5 in order to fly the Deluge and Torrent Tech II Transport Ships.
Upwell Freighters is required to fly the Avalanche Freighter.
Upwell Starship Engineering is required to run an invention job on a Squall blueprint copy and needed to manufacture tech II blueprint copies of the Deluge and Torrent Transport Ships.

Balance Changes

Carriers

Carriers have been struggling to find a healthy spot in the ecosystem for quite a while now. They were incredibly powerful in the past when they had godlike application that made them the best option to always bring even over other sub-capital counters, and it was often better to bring a Carrier to counter a group of a frigates rather than destroyers or rapid light cruisers etc. After the application nerf, and adjustments to the cost of capital ships they’ve struggled because they don’t have a well-defined role. Revamped Marauders and Dreadnoughts have made those the superior PVE options for CRAB beacons and Haven/Sanctum ratting and the better choice for PVP when it comes to fighting both sub-capitals and capitals, pushing carriers out of the meta.

Our aim here is to give them a more defined role as a platform that specializes in fleet/troop transport and shaping the battlefield through powerful positioning tools.

Carrier Conduit Jump

Carriers will now have the capability of using a Conduit jump to take 5-30 players in the jump tunnel with them. The Number of players which are passengers for the jump is increased by a new skill, Capital Jump Portal Generation, which increases the limit by 5 per level. This is built into Carriers and does not require a module to be fitted.
- Prerequisite will be Jump Portal Generation V, with a training multiplier of 14x. Purchase location will be in the standard empire schools for the price of 250m.
Ships which can be passengers for a conduit jump include all variations (Including Faction, T2, T3 etc.) of Corvettes, Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, Battlecruisers and Battleships.

Capital Micro Jump Drives and Capital Micro Jump Field Generators

Carriers will gain the ability to fit new capital sized versions of the Micro Jump Drive and the Micro Jump Drive Field Generator, both of these modules will require a new skill, Capital Micro Jump Drive Operation.
The Capital Micro Jump Drive jumps a Carrier 250km in whatever direction it is facing.
The Capital Micro Jump Field Generator will jump a Carrier, 50 extra sub-capitals, and up to 4 capitals around it (Capitals are counted separately to sub-capitals) 250km in whatever direction it is facing.
- This can move ships which are in siege! Such as Sieged Dreads, Triage mode FAX and Rorquals with cores active!
- After the jump completes, all ships moved by the jump are scrammed for 5 seconds and unable to be moved again by MJD / MJFG until the effect expires.
- Both modules can be stopped by warp scramblers and scripted Heavy Interdictor Warp Disruption Field Generators.
The Networked Sensor Array will block the activation of a CMJD / CMJFG module by the ship it is activated on. A carrier may still be moved by another ship activating a CMJFG while its NSA is active.
The skill books are located in all empire school stations and can be purchased from the character sheet directly.
- Cost: 250 million ISK from an empire school stations, or 325 million ISK from the character sheet.
- Blueprints for both new modules will be found in Data sites.

Only one of these modules can be fit on a Carrier at any given time.

12 New Faction Light and Support Fighters have been added to the game. Navy Faction fighters feature significantly higher hitpoints than Tech 1 and Tech II fighters, but have slightly lower firepower and ewar strength than tech II fighters. Blueprint copies for the fighters can be found exclusively in empire Factional Warfare militia LP stores.

Imperial Navy Templar Blueprint (10x runs), 150,000 LP, 150,000,000 ISK / 24th Imperial Crusade
Caldari Navy Dragonfly Blueprint (10x runs), 150,000 LP, 150,000,000 ISK / State Protectorate

Federation Navy Siren Blueprint (5x runs), 100,000 LP, 100,000,000 ISK / Federation Defense Union
Republic Fleet Dromi Blueprint (5x runs), 100,000 LP, 100,000,000 ISK / Tribal Liberation Force

Targeted Doomsday Weapons

Damage increased from 1 million to 2 million.
- This means that a max skilled Titan Doomsday goes from 1.5m to 3m damage.

As capital ship EHP values have increased in recent years, particularly with the addition of navy faction dreadnoughts, we want to bring the doomsday damage back up to a state where it can remain respected and feared.

Victorious Luxury Yacht

The Yacht has seen some abuse as a nigh uncatchable Wormhole rolling ship. We aim to remove it as a viable roller with the following changes.

PG reduced from 300 to 100.
Mass reduced from 10,000,000 to 1,000,000.
Agility adjusted from 0.4 to 4.0 to keep align time the same after these changes.

Auto-Targeting Missiles

With the Avalanche having a heavy focus on Auto-Targeting Missiles, faction variations of existing Auto-Targeting Missiles have been renamed to ‘Legion’ Auto-Targeting Missiles and are now obtainable in the Mordu’s Legion LP Store for LP and ISK costs of existing missiles of the same size.

Factional Warfare and Insurgency Balance

The FOB Spawning rules have been adjusted so that the FOBs are far more likely to be placed in Command Operation Systems, Adjacent to Frontlines, rather than in the rearguard solar systems of winning factions.
- The Aim of this change is to try and promote more fighting and less farming in the backlines by having the chosen location of the FOB be in a location where current factional warfare militias are duking it out, it’ll also make the FOB solar system more relevant to current militia group campaigns and concentrate the PVP opportunities in factional warfare lowsec.
Small NVY-1 complexes are no longer “Static” guaranteed respawns in Rearguard, Command Operations and Frontline solar systems and will now roam instead. In their place Medium ADV-1 complexes will now be static and there will always be 1 guaranteed assuming it hasn’t been completed recently.
- The aim here is to promote a little more diversity and help make bigger ship types be more relevant to factional warfare system control over time. It also makes it a bit easier to de-contest rearguard solarsystems.
FW Battlefield NPCs will now spawn more slowly between waves and will now orbit the capture points much closer than before.
- Our intention here is to make killing the NPCs the optimal path for progress on the capture points, rather than keeping a single battlecruiser NPC alive outside of the capture point.
Added a new faction command mindlink which gives a bonus to Information and Skirmish command bursts - Guri Malakim Command Mindlink. It is available in the Commando Guri and Malakim Zealot LP stores, which are located in Zarzakh or the insurgency FOBs. Cost is identical to other faction command mindlinks : 100,000 LP, 100,000,000 ISK and 1x Skirmish Command Mindlink, 1x Information Command Mindlink.
Added new faction and officer variants for the Signature Radius Suppression modules. Blueprints for these modules are exclusively obtained as rare drops from the pirate laundering center reward crates.
- Domination Signature Radius Suppressor
- Dread Guristas Signature Radius Suppressor
- Zohar’s Modified Signature Radius Suppressor
- Hakuzosu’s Modified Signature Radius Suppressor

Vendetta and Vehement

Blueprints for the Vehement and Vendetta have been updated to reduce their build material requirements and be closer to other pirate faction capitals.

Updated build costs will be:

Graphics

Graphical renovation to bomb impact VFX, increasing graphical fidelity to the different types to better present game play effects and readability.

Upwell Citadels, namely Athanor, Tatara, Raitaru, Azbel, Sotiyo, Ansiblex Jump Gate, Pharalux Cyno Beacon and Tenerex Cyno Jammer, have undergone an FX and lighting pass. Lights and effects have been added to enhance the visual appeal of these structures.
- Structure explosions have also been made more visually enjoyable in Tidi!
All planets have received a considerable graphics overhaul. Included in this pass, is a resolution increase and rework of all planetary textures. Planet shader parameters have received updates, adding more vibrancy, variation and detail to planet surfaces. Furthermore different new effects and details, have been added to specific planet types. Planets with workforce capacity, will start to visually reflect this, with orbiting traffic visuals.

SKINR Ship Personalization

Paragon is proud to announce that capsuleers can now create fully customized SKINs for their ships using SKINR. Express your identity in New Eden like never before, as a new extension to SKINR unleashes a universe of possibilities by empowering creative capsuleers to design their own ship SKINs. Make each ship or fleet a declaration of your identity, explore a new career path, and strengthen the collective identity of your corporation or fleet. Through SKINR, the art of war takes on a new hue, allowing for unparalleled expression of identity in the theater of space.

Design at Your Fingertips

The new SKINR interface can be accessed from anywhere in Space! Getting bored while gate camping? Sequence a new SKIN! Does your FC have you sitting in staging for too long? Design a new masterpiece! With the new SKINR Paragon introduces a robust palette of Design Elements, consisting of Basic and Metallic Nanocoatings as well as Patterns to Pilots across the Universe. Each SKIN design includes five customization slots: four for Nanocoatings and one for Patterns. Patterns also have a slot nested in them to add a Nanocoating onto the Pattern. Each Design Element comes in 2 flavors: Unlimited or Limited usage. The Unlimited Design Elements will require new Sequencing Binder items to be in your current Inventory. New Design Elements can be bought and sold on the Local Market, acquired in Events, Daily Goals, and through Loot Drops in various locations in game.

Naming Custom SKINs and SKIN Lines

Players name their custom skins during the design process, including the option to add them to a SKIN line. Use your creations to express your unique identity and share them with other capsuleers. Players can also save up to 5 designs for future manufacturing.

Sequencing

Gathering design elements and sequence binders allows capsuleers to sequence ship SKINs for themselves or to sell to other pilots. Sequencing costs are based on a tier system and calculated in PLEX based on the rarity of design elements and complexity of the SKIN. Sequence Binders can be bought and sold on the local market, acquired in events, daily goals, and through loot drops in various locations in game just like their design element counterparts.

If you have the new skill Mass Sequencing trained up, you will be able to sequence multiple copies of the same SKIN at once. Skill levels determine the quantity allowed. You will also need to have enough Design Elements and/or Sequencing Binders for the amount of SKINs being sequenced.

What if you want to sequence a few different SKINs at once? Look no further than the new skill Parallel Sequencing and Multi-Thread Sequencing: These allow the sequencing of multiple SKIN designs simultaneously. Skill levels determine the number of simultaneous jobs.

There are a total of 11 new skills for those interested in specializing as SKIN builders. While having a build time for an item is nothing new for New Eden, we recognize that this represents a new paradigm for cosmetic items. To cater to those seeking instant delivery for ships SKINs, we've added an option to speed up the sequencing for an additional cost, varying on how much time remains, regardless of how many skins are in the sequencing job. This system is designed such that SKINs created with the additional cost remain balanced and do not disrupt market dynamics for those who specialize in the field of SKIN creation.

New Skills

There is a new set of Skills that will elevate your SKIN Sequencing playstyle. These are all found under the new Category called “SEQUENCING”.

Sequencing Time Modifier Skills:
- Basic Induction: Reduces sequencing time. First-tier skill with a 1x training multiplier and costs 5m.
- Induction Efficiency: Reduces sequencing time. Second-tier skill with a 3x training multiplier of and costs 15m.

- Mass Sequencing: Allows sequencing of multiple copies of a design. Second-tier skill with a 6x training multiplier and costs 20m.
- Industrial Sequencing: Allows sequencing of multiple copies of a design. Third-tier skill with a 9x training multiplier and costs 250m.
Multi-SKIN Sequencing Skills
- Parallel Sequencing: Allows the sequencing of multiple different designs at once. First-tier skill with a 2x training multiplier and costs 40m.
- Multi-thread Sequencing: Allows the sequencing of multiple different designs at once. Second-tier skill with a 6x training multiplier and costs 200m.
SKIN Selling Skills:
- Hub Promotion: Allows the listing of more SKINs on the Hub. First-tier skill with a 1x training multiplier and costs 30m.
- Hub Algorithm Optimization: Allows the listing of more SKINs on the Hub. Second-tier skill with a 5x training multiplier and costs 75m.

Each of these skills can be purchased straight from the Skill Window and needs to be trained to level 4 before being able to train the next tier.

Sequencing Binders

These are new items that are required when using Unlimited use Design Elements.

Kerr Sequencer: Consumed by basic Nanocoatings when sequencing a SKIN.
Fermionic Sequencer: Consumed by Metallic Nanocoatings when sequencing a SKIN.
Alignment Sequencer: Consumed by Patterns when sequencing a SKIN.

Collection

A new cosmetics collection makes it simple to keep track of SKINR Made SKINs, Nanocoating's, and Patterns where you can apply SKINR made SKINs and filter through your collection.

Paragon Hub

Players can buy Basic Nanocoatings, Metallic Nanocoatings, and Patterns at the Paragon Hub. Soon after the expansion, players can choose to sell their created SKINs in the Paragon Hub. Listing options include duration (day, 3 days, week, etc.). HUB Listing Costs are charged in ISK, and the SKINR Service Fee apply to sales and are charged in the currency chosen for the sale of the SKIN.

Omega Perks

Alpha accounts can sequence SKINs for all hulls that an Alpha account can pilot. Omega accounts however can sequence skins for any hull that is currently supported by the SKINR tool.

The Ship SKINR is located in the Utilities section in the NEOCOM. But we are sure you will want to put a shortcut to it in the main NEOCOM Bar!

Ship Info and Preview Windows

Show Info now displays Ship Preview with your applied skin.
Clicking the Ship Preview in Show Info will open the Ship Preview Window with your applied skin.
Until June 17th a special set of expansion login rewards will be available for players who log on. Rewards include Sequence Binder Welcome package and components for SKINR Ship Personalization, up to 200K skill points, and boosters.

Corporation Projects

With Equinox, we will continue to build out the library of player activities that Corporations can author Corporation Projects for.

Introduced three new contribution methods to the Corporation Projects:
- Ship Loss
- Earn LP
- Salvage Wreck

This update increases the total number of contribution methods available to 15.

These new contribution methods empower Corporations to:

Create Automated Ship Replacement programs:
- Corporations can now automate SRPs using the Ship Loss contribution method in their projects, streamlining a previously manual process that often had to be handled outside of the game.
Incentivize Loyalty Point activities:
- Corporations can incentivize activities that earn LP, particularly valuable for Factional Warfare (FW) corporations and their pilots.
LP Buyback Programs:
- Corporations can set up LP buyback programs with ISK payouts by creating Earn LP projects and setting the LP tax to 100%.
Incentive Salvaging:
- Corporations can now incentivize salvaging activities, offering a valuable income source for new players and promoting cooperation.

Overhauled Corp Window UI Navigation

The UI navigation pattern has been updated to follow the navigational pattern established by the AIR Opportunities Window.
Tooltips have been added to each section describing its purpose and listing the roles required to access it

Improved AIR Daily Goals

We have received a lot of positive sentiment on how the AIR Daily Goals improved on the, now deprecated, Daily Challenges system last December. For Equinox we will continue building out its capabilities and make it more engaging through a monthly reward track and improved interface in AIR Opportunities.

New AIR Daily Goals:

Earn 50 LP (Enforcer/Industrialist/Soldier of Fortune lines)
Salvage 15 Wrecks (Industrialist/Enforcer lines)

Monthly Progress Rewards: Progress by earning daily SP bonuses. There are four milestones in your monthly progress, and new rewards are unlocked at each one. Rewards include extra SP, PLEX, SKINR design elements and sequence binders, and EverMarks. Collect twelve daily SP bonuses and earn all your monthly rewards. Omega players earn an additional superior award at every milestone.

Daily SP Bonus Reward Changes: Completing two distinct goals daily will now grant 5000 SP, with additional SP rewards available through your Monthly Progress.

Evergreen DLI

The standard DLI campaign at Character Selection has been replaced by the new AIR Daily Goals.

Ship Emphasis

We want to make interacting with and progressing through ships in New Eden more digestible and inspiring. To that end we have implemented a variety of improvements for Equinox:

Assemble and Board action: The new default action when double-clicking on a packaged ship, which makes taking your new ship out for a spin just a bit easier.
Ship Unlock notifications: A new section in the Ship Tree shows off the ships you’ve recently managed to unlock, with badges indicating new entries until they are viewed.
Default Ship Naming: The rename ship popup now appears when assembling a ship, and default names are restructured to show the ship type name first.
Ship Card view: A new inventory view that displays the ship group, characteristics, and type name of your ships more clearly.
Skill Requirement Panel: Allows players to add skills to the queue, create skill plans, allocate skill points, and buy missing skillbooks. The component appears in the Fitting Window, Show Info, Ship Tree and Hangar views.

Ship Tree

Added pages for the Society of Conscious Thought and CONCORD ship lines to the Ship Tree.
Faction logos shown within the Ship Tree have been updated.

Overhauled Ship Restrictions Windows

We want to make it more digestible for players before they head out to space what type of restrictions are on dungeons.

Ships are now sorted into collapsable sections by their group.
Ship icons are now shown alongside ships' names.
Ship entries can now be interacted with (e.g. right-click to open the Information window or Market details).
Only ships within the Ship Tree will be listed.
Added an option to search for a specific ship from those listed.
Added a filter option to show only ships that the current character can fly.
Added an option to show restricted ships but highlight them as unusable.
A Ship Restrictions warning will now appear in the Info Panel objectives of relevant sites or missions tracked via AIR Opportunities:
- Double-clicking this warning will open the Ship Restrictions window.
- The warning will appear when en-route to a site or when within a site’s lobby area.

Homefront Operations

We aim to make some of the less popular sites more attractive while addressing common pain points.

Acceleration Gates within these sites will now become partially restricted when activated:

The character that first activates the gate will be considered the “owner” of that site.
Anyone outside the owner’s current fleet will receive a suspect timer when activating the gate.
If the current owner leaves the combat area of a site, another character within their fleet and the combat area will be selected as the new owner.
If no fleet member is present within the combat area, another character within the combat area will be selected as the owner instead.
- If no owner is found, the gate will be reset and become unrestricted until it is next activated.
Emergency Aid payouts have been reworked.
- The additional payouts received at 5 and 10 minutes have been removed.
- The sites will now complete and grant their main payout after 10 minutes, reduced from 15 minutes.
All sites, excluding Abyssal Artifact Recovery, have had their payouts reduced.

Dedicated ECM using NPCs within Dread Assault sites will now take significantly longer to respawn when destroyed.
Site failure timers in all applicable sites have been reduced to 20 minutes.
The average DPS of NPCs using missiles has been decreased.
The repair amounts of logistics NPCs have been decreased.
Drifter NPCs within Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites will now show their piloting characters.
When a site ends unsuccessfully, the relevant conversation will appear even if it has been viewed before.
When arriving at a site that has been completed, the relevant conversation will appear even if it has been viewed before.
An Info Panel objective will now appear when the character is in warp.
Improved consistency for when conversations and Info Panel objectives are displayed.

PvE

Paragon Missions

Added new Paragon Missions to request additional Frigates, Navy Frigates, additional Destroyers, Navy Destroyers, T1 Cruisers and Faction Ammo.

Incursions

Mothership sites within High and Low Security space now have a minimum amount of time before they can appear. Null Security space is unaffected by this change.
- High-Security space: the Mothership will not appear until at least 3 days have passed.
- Low-Security space: the Mothership will not appear until at least 1 day has passed.

Observatory Flashpoints in Pochven

Activation range for the gate to the observatory has been increased to 25KM.
Players present in the first pocket of the site when the site pays out will not receive a share of the rewards.
NPCs will now take into account the presence of drones and prioritize them as targets.

C5 & C6 Cosmic Anomalies and Signatures

A capital ship must be present in sites prior to the appearance of the Decloaked Transmission Relay to trigger the Arithmos Tyrannos spawn in C5/6 Cosmic Anomalies.
Any escalation waves, including the Arithmos Tyrannos, will despawn if capital ships leave the site, or strays further than 100KM of a site’s warp-in point.
Lancer Dreadnoughts will now trigger escalation waves in Cosmic Anomalies and Cosmic Signatures.

Triglavian Minor Victory Systems

Entropic Disintegrator Werposts and their deployment fleets will no longer consider players with 0 standing with The Triglavian Collective as hostile.
Weapon damage ramp-up time for Entropic Disintegrator Werposts has been lengthened.
Entropic Disintegrator Werposts now feature a bounty upon destruction

The skillbook has a training multiplier of 2x and can be found in the standard empire schools for the price of 15m.

That about sums it up!

We're excited to see what you do with the updates coming in the Equinox expansion, and we'd love for you to get involved with the discussion on the EVE Online Discord and the EVE Online Forums.
