    Initial Release Date: 2025-05-27 Last update: 2025-06-26

    🤝 - Indicates a change inspired by the player's feedback or suggestions.

    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 will now spool its disintegrator damage.

    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.

    1. Veldspar 10

    2. Scordite 20

    3. 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 mission briefing for “The Govenor’s Ball” storyline mission

    • 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.

    Patch Notes for 2025-06-16.1

    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.

    • The client could become unresponsive under a set of rare conditions that required DX12, resizing the client window, and changing graphical settings; this has been adjusted.

    • Several broken decal effects have been fixed.

    Patch Notes for 2025-06-12.1

    Features & Changes:

    Miscellaneous:

    • Boosters used in the Capsuleer Day event have been updated (being marked as expired, removed from search and market groups)

    Defect Fixes:

    User Interface:

    • When clicking through the show info window, a visual query indicator will be generated on the list of SKINS.

    • The suffix “Metallic” was removed from all nanocoatings listed in the metallics section.

    • The UI of the ACP window will no longer shrink when transitioning from full screen to floating and back.

    Patch Notes for 2025-06-11.1

    Defect Fixes:

    Technical:

    • Some users of onboard Intel GPUs were experiencing a black screen caused by the driver crashing. Changes have been made to try to work around this problem. Please file a bug report from within the launcher if you still experience a black screen issue after this patch.

    Patch Notes for 2025-06-10.1

    Defect Fixes:

    Technical:

    • In situations where a PC was under heavy load or ran out of VRAM, or on occasions where the GPU resources were limited, the client could crash with a "GPU Device Removed" error. The handling of these situations has been improved.

    • Lowered VRAM use in heavier scenes. This also helps reduce crashes when close to the VRAM limit of your graphics card.

      • We’re working on a fix for preventing the sites being spawned “through” Zarzakh which we’ll be releasing in a future update.

    Graphics:

    • Adjusted the glow intensity based on color brightness and luminosity for brand banner on Freelance Project Cards.

    Localization:

    Patch Notes for 2025-06-03.1

    Defect Fixes:

    Graphics:

    • The Cynosural Field Generator effect is now a higher resolution.

  • Legion Update: Not-So-Little Things

    24. June 2025 11:00

    Illustrious capsuleers,

    The next phase of the Legion expansion has arrived, rooted in your choices and your feedback. This update to Legion delivers a swath of improvements, largely based on capsuleer input, designed to power your purpose. Whether you’re engaging in Factional Warfare, raiding skyhooks, or simply navigating the Neocom with newfound ease, every enhancement serves to deepen your control over your unique journey in New Eden.

    Your Feedback, Made Real

    One of the goals with iterative expansion releases is to be responsive to the pulse of the cluster, which is reflected in the latest series of quality-of-life improvements, many directly informed by capsuleer insights shared at the Little Things panel during Fanfest 2025 and in the official forums. 

    These suggestions, collected from passionate discussions and direct feedback, have now become real enhancements. Among these are the ability to delete multiple contracts simultaneously upon expiry, easily importing price information from the clipboard to the sell window, and more clarity in the UI about the performance of Triglavian weapons. 

    Little things - Notes

    Capsuleers are encouraged to continue contributing via the Little Things  forum thread. Your input helps shape the future of New Eden. We have begun the process of reclaiming our sofa by implementing the index card tips, and it’s up to you to fill it up again! Details on these changes can be found in the patch notes.  

    Multiple adjustments and additions have also been made based on input from the CSM and wider EVE community. Skyhooks that will enter a vulnerable state within the next two hours will now be highlighted on the new, optimized map, offering enhanced clarity for raiding and making it easier to plan and strike with precision. The raiding window has been extended, giving room for tactical aggression and coordinated assaults.

    PvP enthusiasts will discover more conflict opportunities around Metenox sites, with changes that close loopholes previously used to avoid engagements. Owners can no longer unanchor their structures to escape a fight, making each deployment a true commitment. 

    Equinox - Metenox - 1920x108

    Nullsec aggression gets more strategic as capsuleers gain the ability to hack sovereignty hubs with Data and Relic Analyzer modules to gather intel. This enables skilled scouts to access important information about the sovereignty hub, including which upgrades are installed and which are online, allowing for more informed decisions when identifying opportune targets. 

    Sov-hub Sov hub Sovhub 1920x108

    When it comes to Pirate Insurgencies, capsuleers who wish to align with the Guristas or Angel Cartel can now sign on from Zarzakh, which lowers the barrier of entry, especially for newcomers looking to embrace a darker path. 

    Zarzakh - Dramiel Mekubal

    Miners will rejoice as pyerite yields have been increased from scordite, answering a long-standing call to bolster resource availability. This aims to empower highsec miners to act on the pyerite shortage. Meanwhile, Pochven has seen various improvements, including a reworking of smaller-scale sites to adjust balance and add more rewards, with opportunities tailored for agile cruiser teams to make their mark. 

    And in the spirit of fairness in warfare, wardec loopholes have been sealed, leveling the playing field between aggressive corporations and those rising up against them. 

    2025.06.03.19.10.26

    The Compare tool is being revamped with a new layout that allows you to find items within the window, rather than needing to be found elsewhere, making it easier than ever to find the right tools for your space adventures. Comparing will require less effort, and the differences between the attributes being compared will be clearer than before. In addition, the new layout offers options for search, grouping, filtering, and more. 

    You’ve Been Busy!

    Capsuleer ambition is constantly reshaping New Eden. Here are some of the key moments of the Legion era so far, captured in data:

    Warp Forward

    With each step forward, EVE Online evolves, adapts, and improves, fueled by the will of capsuleers. These new updates are extensions of your agency, crafted in collaboration with those who thrive on New Eden’s chaos. 

    Explore the changes, strategize your next move, and claim your place in the evolving saga.

  • Community Beat for 20 June

    20. June 2025 17:00

    Welcome back, spacefriends, to the Community Beat – your regular resource for the what’s going on in New Eden and a look at all the amazing things that you do! This week we’ve got epic battles, creative ship names, stellar art, and a peek at what the devs have been up to! Pop open some Quafe, or some Starsi Blast if you’re so inclined, strap in, and let’s go!

    Low security, high destruction!

    Lowsec turned high drama as a massive brawl unfolded in the system of Lantorn, with losses totaling a jaw-dropping 3.2 trillion ISK! BearThatCares from Minmatar Fleet dropped a detailed battlereport over on the EVE Subreddit explaining what went down.

    Want to see the action? DJBuntin captured the carnage in motion with a brilliant video! The sounds you aren’t hearing are the cheers from industrialists all across the cluster - the market's going to feel this one.

    Art Corner

    There must be something in the water, because the EVE artists have been pumping out amazing content lately! In our last issue we showcased some of the new water colors from Lloyd George, and this week CptArmarlio has shared some of his new cell-shaded ship illustrations, including the Paladin, Gila, and Astero.

    We can’t get enough of them, and they’re available on his Etsy page if you’re looking to adorn the walls of your IRL captains quarters.

    Meanwhile, DuesofAces went full capital with a 3D-printed and hand-painted Hel, recreated in stunning detail. No duct tape, no rust, but still all Minmatar. Well done!

    Just A Name

    Sure you need skillpoints, knowledge, and fittings to undock a ship – but a name can be just as important! Just has an active bounty asking just that! Rifter McRifterface is good, but Cryfox has shared their go-to Flycatcher name: Michael Buble. Golfclap. There are quite a few entries which you can check out and contribute to.

    Just has some amazing rewards that are active and a great way to share your EVE story and get involved with creating content. We’re really looking forward to reading the submissions for the Greatest EVE Campfire Story and, for those a little more involved, the greatest Real Life Tribute to EVE.

    Devs on Deck: Recent Interviews

    Fanfest is over, but we’re still missing you! Luckily there have been a few community podcasts and shows which have invited CCPers on to chat and join on roams. Creative director and Angry CONCORD Guy™ CCP Burger joined the Federation Frontline Report for an in-depth conversation on Legion now that it’s been out for a bit. What’s landed, what’s evolving, and a few hints about what’s still cloaked on the horizon.

    Game Design Director CCP Okami sat down with The Oz to break down the most recent Monthly Economic Report, discussing market movements, ISK sinks, where the state of mining, and more. It was, in a word, beardtastic™

    And lastly, Kekbur Network has released their Fanfest Blitz interview that took devs through a gauntlet of rapid-fire questions; from favorite ships and first losses to some more unexpected fare. We love it!

    The Tools of the Trade

    If you’re looking to change up your gameplay loop, some recent third-party updates might be just what your Neocom needs! The famed EVE Pandora has rolled out a new campaign specifically tailored for Federation Day. For those seeking ISK, challenge, and purpose. Whether you're part of a faction warfare corp or a solo explorer, there's content worth chasing and reward to match.

    Meanwhile, Capsuleer Kit by Alia Collins is a neatly organized toolkit for aspiring and veteran pilots alike. It features a collection of helpful custom-built utilities and curated links to many of the most-used tools across the EVE ecosystem.

    That’s it for this round of the Community Beat! If you’ve spotted something awesome out in in space, or made something you’re proud of, we’d love to have you in the next Community Beat. Head on over to the EVE Discord and share it with us in the Community team. We’re always watching, and we love shining a spotlight on what you do.

    Until next time, fly safe (unless you're about to hop into a dread brawl!)

  • Community Beat for 06 June

    6. June 2025 21:15

    Helloooooo New Eden!

    Happy Friday, everyone - it's time for another edition of the community beat! The universe has been electric with activity since the start of the Legion expansion, with endless battles bristling across multiple regions of space, providing a plethora of pew pew pew. We've seen the first sets of Sarathiels produced (and destroyed) and even the first sets of Babarogas produced (and destroyed); no one and nowhere is free from the calamity of chaos these ships seem to be creating. That's not to mention also seeing some fantastical Freelance Jobs being produced, and we've been greatly entertained watching some of the creativity of the player base here as well. If you've tuned into the CCP Twitch channel on a Friday, then you'll know that the community team regularly goes on a roam across the universe; the corporation "Choir of morning" took it upon themselves to add a bit of a bounty to that if you like to hunt devs after they set up a freelance project to hunt down CCP members!

    Hunt CCP

    "Some capsuleers claim that ECM is 'dishonourable' and 'unfair'. Jam those ones first and kill them last" - Jirai 'Fatal' Laitanen, Pithum Nullifier Training Manual c. YC104 is one of my favourite quotes, which you can find in the "Chameleon" ship hull description. However, the "Order of the Red Kestrel" corporation seems to be one of those corporations that claim this scourge must be purged and rewards the universe being cleansed of ECM-bonused ships.

    Kill ECM

    One of the things the community was also talking about was that Freelance Jobs might be used as a tool to trick people into situations that would get players killed; however, leaning into the aspect that destruction and accepting loss are a constructive part of the growth in New Eden, "Corp Borp" also set up a job to embrace that loss instead—helping to make that first loss sting a little less.

    Reward Loss

    B-E-A-utiful.

    EVE Online content creator Lurm put together a great video covering some of the Freelance Jobs as well from the expansion launch day; you should check it out if you haven't already, some of them had us in fits of laughter:

    War has been declared!

    Two large nullsec factions, The Imperium and Pandemic Horde have been at war for a little bit now, and we've seen some great coverage so far. Capsuleer "Walter Islands" over on the EVE Online Discord has been sharing some epic screenshots of some of the battles and mobilisation so far:

    In addition, "Warlock Industries" over on YouTube has routinely been putting out videos with footage of some of the battles and keeping a tally of some of the destruction in ISK:

    Keep an eye on their channel to stay updated with some of the high-value battles!

    And now for something completely different..

    In the realms of other videos as well, a whopping 13 years ago, dredditMOT/Test Alliance released a video called "Lasers are Magic" featuring some of their adventures, which involved "deploying the rainbow" in the form of a selection of Coercers with a full range of crystals for their lasers. This year, as a tribute to that video, Dirt 'n' Glitter released an up-to-date video with the same concept, taking on a selection of different-sized targets to the same soundtrack:

    Returning to more... regular things - the Cenotaph has been another ship that has been out for a while now, and players have really started learning how to maximise its effectiveness in combat encounters. Terrorising targets at short range, the battlecruiser can cloak up, sneak in close, then decloak and BLAST targets with its devastating high-damage over time breacher pod. Even when a part of a small fleet, a few of these ships creeping in close can cause a lot of damage. We saw a video earlier this week that really exemplifies the use of the Cenotaph, and if you're looking for ways they could be used or how to fly them, this is the video for you:

    Art Corner

    The Community Beat wouldn't feel complete without a section dedicated to some of the art the community has been putting out. We routinely feature Lloyd George, aka El_Geo's work, as it is a gold standard of incredible watercolour painting. The detail in his paintings is at the next level. As of late, he has been on an absolute rampage of painting - in the previous community beat, we featured the Thunderchild; this time, we have a collection of other incredible work that he has recently produced:

    The Exemplary Exequor, the Barbourous Babaroga, the Prevelant Pacifier, and the ever-prominent Proteus are all in watercolour—absolutely stunning!

    We also want to shout out Khezu Knight, who's been sharing some of their adorable art. They've been creating some wonderfully charming creations, both in the digital world and in the physical:

    EVE-NTually coming up activities..

    A good chunk of community interactions also comes from meetups, and EVE Online is blessed with a community that also enjoys such things! The team loves to give shoutouts wherever possible to our event organisers (and on occasion attend the meets ourselves) because they always have a story to tell, be it from the events themselves or from people attending them, sharing what they've been up to in-game.

    EDU

    Sin Alarma has confirmed EVE Down Under (EDU) for 26-28 September in Australia! The Eventbrite page has all the details and a link to the Discord for it.

    If Australia is a bit too far for you, then fear not! Events also routinely happen in-universe as well, and Federation Day is another opportunity to gather and engage with the rest of the community. Want people to check out your most excellent drip? Well, the Mister and Miss pageant contest runs during the event, where you can share your "Best dressed" avatars in a thread that's then voted on for some sweet PLEX prizes!

    Federation Day

    Consider yourself more of a ship design connoisseur instead? A SKINdustrailist? No problem, there's an event for that, too! Join the attendees in a conga line parading your creation, alongside an exemplary display of fireworks to win prizes! Consider yourself more of a trivia buff than an artiste? They've got you covered there, too, with trivia questions about the Gallente Federation to test your wit and lore knowledge.

    Come and join the celebrations outside Dodixie IX - Moon 20 - Federation Navy Assembly Plant on Saturday, 28 June at 18:00 UTC to participate in the fun and check the forum thread for more information!

    That's all for this Beat! See you again for the next edition in a couple of weeks, and keep BLASTING!
