  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

  Defect Fixes:

  User Interface:

  • 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 some floating blinkies on the Ishtar and Vexor.

  • 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.

  Defect Fixes:

  Gameplay:

  • Slash commands via chat have been disabled.

  Map:

  • Added missing localization for the legends of a few Factional Warfare filters.

  User Interface:

  • Fixed an issue where the ‘Copy’ context menu option was not available in Info windows.

  • Fixed an issue where the Mining Surveyor button was visible during some cutscenes in the New Player Experience.

  • Added missing collision to Phased Prismaticite in the Fractured Legacy Epic Arc missions.

  User Interface:

  • 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.

  Now let's look at some high quality cinema that popped up in recent weeks, starting with this video from Deimos24 of Honor Point where a group of outnumbered capsuleers punch well above their weight and exact a significant butcher's bill for their opponents to contend with. Battle report in the video description.

  Typically we try not to facilitate Goon propaganda in these pages, especially since they're already smug enough about what went down in the drone lands, but it's kind of hard to look past this four minute long impressively animated shitpost from Powervul:

  And finally, sticking with the events taking place in the east of New Eden we shift from animation to pure kino with this excellent cinematic coverage of the closing stages of the of drone lands exodus from Warlock Industries:

• Winter Nexus: Hunters in the Storm

  3. December 2025 15:00

  ---

  Capsuleers,

  Storms approach New Eden, as Sansha’s Nation usher in the Winter Nexus. From 9 December to 12 January, Volatile Ice Storms will roam the cluster, opening the doors for exciting seasonal events and rewards.

  Hunt Yoiul LADs (Logistical Automated Deliveries) and get Cryo Tech that allows access to even more within the storms, and don’t miss the Perseverance ice mining destroyer, currently only available through the Winter Nexus seasonal reward track.

  Get started now, and don’t miss the seasonal reward track extension and a further surprise or two coming in the final week.

  [tl;dr]

  • Enter Volatile Ice Storms for seasonal challenges.

  • Hunt Yoiul LADs for special tech that unlocks more within the storms.

  • Get daily login rewards including Skill Points, SKINs, and more.

  • Unlock seasonal challenge rewards, including the Perseverance ice mining destroyer, PLEX, Skill Points & more.

  

  Yoiul LAD Drops

  This year, InterBus is launching a cautionary campaign for travelers by dispatching Logistical Automated Delivery vessels (LADs) named after the legendary Yoiul Clones.

  However, a whistleblower within Verity Enhancements, known only by the codename Yoiul Kattar, claims to have proof that the Yoiul LADs are not what they seem.

  Hunting down these automated vessels will give you Verity Cryo Tech that will unlock new challenges and rewards. For enforcers, this means access to more dangerous parts of the storms with stronger forces to fight. In highsec, marauders will need this Cryo Tech (specifically the Cryostorm Clarifier) to access combat sites. No such restrictions apply in lowsec or nullsec, however, depositing Cryo Tech will give access to more challenging and rewarding experiences in all Winter Nexus combat sites.

  

  Explorers can use the tech to gain access to relays normally scrambled by storm interference, which can then be hacked.

  The tech will give miners additional recipes for mined ice, which will award enhanced salvage packages. Cryo Tech can be deposited in certain structures in and around the sites to unlock these extras.

  

  So in addition to the regular Winter Nexus challenges, you can hunt Yoiul LADs to get more action and reap more rewards.

  The storms will be visible on the starmap, and can be accessed with Ice Storm Filaments.

  

  Seasonal Riches

  Every day you enter New Eden will bring gifts during the Winter Nexus, including Aurora Universalis SKINs, Winter Nexus themed SKINR components, EverMarks, up to 650,000 Skill Points for Omegas, and much more.

  Day 26 brings the ultimate boost: 75,000 SP for Alphas and a total of 325,000 SP for Omegas!

  Upgrading to Omega status at any time during the Winter Nexus will grant access to all Omega rewards from the start of the event.

  

  Get the New Ice Mining Destroyer

  Furthermore, completing challenges will advance you along the seasonal reward track, unlocking PLEX, Skill Points, SKINs, and a blueprint for the Perseverance, a new ice-mining variation of the Pioneer mining destroyer.

  This vessel is not available anywhere else, so start preparing for the challenges right now! A mining destroyer, first introduced with the Pioneer that came with the Catalyst expansion, is the perfect step up from the Venture, bridging the gap between a frigate and a barge.

  Don’t Miss a Thing

  Make sure you start logging in and completing activities on day one so you don’t miss out on any of the Winter Nexus rewards.

  See you in the storms.

• Control Access to Your Freelance Jobs

  Greetings spacefriends, and welcome back to another edition of the Community Beat! New Eden has been lively these past weeks, both in space and in real life. Let's dive straight in.

  R-AG7W: The Last Splash

  Last time we checked in, the Pandemic Horde Keepstar in R-AG7W was sitting under one of the most impressive bubble camps we’ve seen in a while. Since then, the bubblebath reached its inevitable conclusion as the Keepstar finally went down.

  Warlock Industries was on-site for the final moments and captured the whole thing. If you’re looking for a recap of the atmosphere, the bubbles and the explosion, this video is well worth the watch:

  And now? With Pandemic Horde leaving the region and The Imperium packing up after their deployment, the gates have opened and sovereignty in the Dronelands is up for grabs.

  A Splash of Paint

  While one Keepstar met a fiery end, another one got given a fresh new skin. Watson Crick has been busy giving the miniature structures from the War For New Eden board game a nice coat of paint.

  

  Industry 101

  The next highlight is for capsuleers who prefer spreadsheets over causing explosions. Bill Paid released a great video for players looking to dip their toes into industry.

  When No Vacancies. met L A Z E R H A W K S

  From the quiet hum of industry, let’s jump back into the action. Argrathar from No Vacancies. shared a great battle recording on his YouTube channel, capturing a brawl between No Vacancies. and L A Z E R H A W K S that delivered plenty of explosions.

  And of course, no fight is complete without a battle report to go with it.

  Player Meets Around The World

  Last weekend was a busy one, with two player meets happening on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Both EVE North in Toronto and EVE Amsterdam in, well.. Amsterdam, brought players together to swap stories in real life

  EVE North delivered its usual cozy vibes, with players gathering for a relaxed evening with a drink or two. EVE Amsterdam, meanwhile, had a packed schedule with presentations, fleets and workshops. Thanks to Randolph Vangor and Amiomia for organizing these meet ups!

  And the year is not over yet! EVE Glasgow's Festive Meet has been announced for 27 December. If you're in the area, don't miss it.

  If you're thinking about hosting your own EVE meet up in 2026, we'd love to hear from you. Reach out to us at communityteam@ccpgames.com.
