    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.

    Ship Information Window:

    • When the compact mode is enabled, the sidebar no longer expands on hover.

    • When the compact mode is disabled, the sidebar now collapses immediately when clicking an entry in the sidebar.

    • Removed the super-small-width version of the show-info window.

    • The completion UI has been added to the subtab navigation buttons in the Skills tab, which are in the compact layout of the window.

    • The character’s skill status for the ship has been added to the top of the Skills tab in the compact layout of the window.

    • The Skills tab now always opens on the Requirements subtab.

    • Removed the empty skill squares from the skill entries in the Skills tab.

    • The Variations tab’s ‘Compare All’ button is now anchored and always visible at the bottom of the window.

    Gameplay:

    • Fixed a bug which would have a Skyhook turn back on straight away after you decided to turn it off.

    • Destroying a mercenary den will now update the available workforce on the skyhook for the client UI. It was functioning correctly before, but the updated value wouldn’t show until a new merc den was put down, or the player left the system and came back in, or relogged.

    Patch Notes for 2024-12-06.1

    Defect Fixes:

    Localization:

    • Fixed issue with missing localization on Winter Nexus.

    Patch Notes for 2024-12-05.1

    Features & Changes:

    Cinematic Ship Introduction:

    We are thrilled to announce the Cinematic Ship Introduction to make your experience of boarding a ship for the first time more immersive, exciting, and memorable. Acquiring a new ship is a significant achievement and this feature transforms this milestone into a visual cinematic moment, highlighting the ship’s design, scale and importance within the game.

    Key Updates:

    Players have full control over how they interact with this feature.

    • Skip Options: Skip the cinematic or turn off the auto-play completely in the settings.

    • Replay Feature: Replay the cinematic while docked by clicking on in the ship context menu, especially useful for showcasing new SKINs or upgrades.

    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.

    • Winter Nexus Themed Character Select.

    Mercenary Dens:

    • Mercenary Tactical Operation sites now show players progress through Objectives in the Info Panel.

    Observatory Flashpoints:

    • Increased the radius of Stellar Observatories to reduce the likelihood of colliding with it while orbiting.

    User Interface:

    • Added the option to UNDO and REDO in studio SKINR.

    • Improved highlight animation for new design elements in your SKINR collection.

    Defect Fixes:

    Patch Notes for 2024-12-03.1

    Features & Changes:

      • Zephyr

    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.

    Corporation Project

    • Fixed formatting error for the Japanese language related to the Daily Goals duration section.

    • The duration icon is now visible in the list view of the Air Opportunities page.

    • Only Corporations where clients can earn loyalty points can be added for the "Earn Loyalty Points" contribution method.

    • Harvesting gas no longer counts towards the Mine Materials contribution method in Corp Projects.

    Graphics:

    • Duplicates of Shattered Paradigm SKINs are removed from the game.

    Ship Information Window:

    • Added missing tooltips when hovering over skills in the Skills tab.

    • Inventory ship cards and Ship Info window background now correctly display the Intaki Syndicate logo for:

      • Victorieux Luxury Yacht

      • Zephyr

    • Fixed some typos.

    • Fixed an issue where the Ship Insurance banner animation could glitch when UI Scaling was not 100%.

    • 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

    Features & Changes:

    PvE:

    • The Deathless Circle has ceased its deployment of Trustbreaker Arrays.

      • Deathless Trustbreaker Under Attack sites are no longer available.

    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.

      • ‘Excavator’ Ice Harvesting drones returned to 90m/s Max Velocity from 125m/s.

    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.

    Exploration:

    • Drone Relic Sites can now appear in class 1-3 Wormhole space at a similar rate to the existing pirate faction relic sites.

    • Drone Relic Sites can now drop Atavums.

    • Lowered the overall drop rate of Atavums from Relic Sites.

    Homefront Operations:

    • Structure-bashing NPCs in Emergency Aid sites will now orbit their targets at a closer range.

    • Repair effects are now less effective on structures within Emergency Aid sites.

    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).

    Mercenary Dens:

    • It’s no longer possible to take infomorphs from Mercenary Dens which have been reinforced before a downtime, after the downtime which it was reinforced.

    • Fixed a rounding error when trying to take infomorphs - You can now always take the maximum amount of infomorphs and it won’t fail if you have spare cargo which is a multiplier of 0.1m3 but not enough to hold them all.

    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

    8. November 2024 16:45

    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.

    Mercenary Den

    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

    Tholos

    Cenotaph

    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.

    Breacher Pod Launcher and SCARAB

    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.

    Ship Information Window

    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!

    Residue and Glorified Mutaplasmid

    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

    Vargur

    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

    Absolution

    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

    Myrmidon Navy Issue

    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

    Harbinger Navy Issue

    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

    Cyclone Fleet Issue

    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

    Exequror Navy Issue

    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

    Stabber Fleet Issue

    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

    Distinct Module Icons

    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

    Trig logo

    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

    Audio

    Station Atmosphere Update

    • A new controller has been added that plays atmo for the station based on race. New atmo plays on Amarr, Gallente, Caldari and Minmatar small, medium and large stations.

    We're excited to see what you do with the updates coming in the Revenant 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 2024-10-17.1

    Features & Changes:

    Missions & NPCs:

    • The Society of Conscious Thought are offering capsuleers an ISK reward for Journal Entries recovered from relic sites.

    Patch Notes for 2024-10-10.1

    Features & Changes:

    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.

    Patch Notes for 2024-10-8.1

    Defect Fixes:

    Gameplay:

    • It’s now possible to store the Standup Focused Warp Scrambling scripts for upwell structure warp disruption modules inside the infrastructure hold of the upwell haulers.

    Graphics:

    • Improved the placement of the asteroids which were overlapping after the asteroid size increase and did a small beauty pass on the Prospecting Array 2 upgrades.

    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.

    skyhook chart

    • 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).

    Features & Changes:

    Missions & NPCs:

    • Increased the damage per second of the Blood Raiders officer frigate Makra Ozman.

    • The mineral prospecting array 1 upgrades are now respawning as intended.

    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.

    PVE:

    • Only characters within 100km of the Horizon Breach Engine will be considered eligible for payouts in Horizon Siege Point sites.

    Defect Fixes:

    User Interface:

    • Fixed an issue which could cause the Zarzakh Emanation error message to show an incorrect, incredibly high number when trying to use a gate you’re not locked to while having an Emanation timer.

    • Fixed an issue where Structure SKINR licenses were not being displayed on the Corporation Administration page for the Structure SKINR.

    Patch Notes for 2024-09-18.1

    Features & Changes:

    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

    Horizon Siege Point

    • Fixed an issue where Info Panel objectives could become incorrectly ordered

    Patch Notes for 2024-09-09.1

    Features & 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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • Extra pattern projections on some ships (eg. Crane) are now correctly removed from SKINR when designing and on the resulting SKIN, and previously sequenced SKINs should now match the designed SKIN.

    • Wormhole auras should be the correct color again.

    • Shaders will now render SSAO correctly where a tiling texture is being used.

    User Interface:

    • Fixed an issue where the Back button did not function correctly in the SKINR Paragon Hub and Collections tabs.

    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:

    • 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.

    Patch Notes for 2024-07-18.1

    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:

    • Non-Drone Regions

    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.

    • 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.

    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.

    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:

    • Fixed an issue which caused lines between connecting systems to be missing from Insurgency map.

    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

    • 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

      • 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

      • 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

      • 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)

    Gameplay:

    • It’s now possible to command drones to attack skyhook reagent silos.
