  Patch Notes for 2025-06-16.1

  Features & Changes:

  Miscellaneous:

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

  Technical:

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

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

  Defect Fixes:

  Technical:

  • Resolved an issue where Mac clients would sometimes experience graphical artifacts.

  • Fixed several instances of sounds getting ‘stuck’, where they continued to play and follow the ship / camera when they should have stopped.

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

  • Several broken decal effects have been fixed.

  Patch Notes for 2025-06-12.1

  Features & Changes:

  Miscellaneous:

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

  Defect Fixes:

  User Interface:

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

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

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

  ---

  Patch Notes for 2025-06-11.1

  Defect Fixes:

  Technical:

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

  ---

  Patch Notes for 2025-06-10.1

  Defect Fixes:

  Technical:

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

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

  Greetings expansion enjoyers!

  The Legion expansion is arriving next week at 11:00 UTC 27 May! We are delivering the patch notes early so you can absorb everything that's coming next Tuesday. We invite you to join the player discussion about the content of this release on the EVE Online Discord and the EVE Online Forums.

  Expansion Notes 23.01 - EVE Online: Legion

  Freelance Jobs

  A new way to earn ISK, explore gameplay, and get on the radar of powerful corporations— Freelance Jobs are now available across New Eden. Freelance Jobs are tasks created by player-run corporations which are open to pilots outside of their own ranks.

  

  Finding your perfect job

  • Available through AIR Opportunities and the Corporation Show Info window.

  • Capsuleers can browse nearby jobs in the Opportunities window (jobs are visible from up to 5 jumps away from the job’s broadcast locations).

  • In the Corporation Show Info window you can see all active Freelance Jobs issued by that corporation.

  • Real-time updates as new jobs become available in range.

  • You can have up to 3 freelance jobs active at the same time, but you can resign from them at any time and accept new ones.

  • After accepting a job and contributing to it, you earn the ISK rewards assigned by the job creator automatically.

  • Earned rewards need to be claimed from the Rewards tab in Opportunities or from each job’s details view.

  

  Creating and Managing Freelance Jobs

  • Job Creation

    • Job creation interface similar to existing Corporation Projects.

    • Project Manager role required for job creation.

    • Corporations can have up to 100 Freelance Jobs active at the same time.

    • For your job to be visible in the Opportunities window, you have to set the job broadcast location to one of your corp’s offices. The Job will be broadcasted within 5 jumps of your office.

    • Each job can have up to 20 broadcast locations.

    • Issuing a new job has a cost of 100,000 ISK per day of job’s duration.

    • Broadcasting a new job has a cost of 150,000 ISK per day per broadcasting location.

  • Administrative Controls

    • Removing capsuleers from jobs.

    • Participant view to track contributions.

  • Job Lifecycle Management

    • The minimum job duration is 15 minutes.

    • The maximum job duration is 1 year.

  • Security and Access Control

    • Age-based restriction - you can restrict your job so that only characters of a certain (EVE) age can access it.

    • This is useful for creating jobs that target new players for recruitment purposes or only older characters if needed.

  

  Available contribution methods:

  • Ship Insurance

  • Mine Materials

  • Damage Capsuleers

  • Capture FW Complex

  • Defend FW Complex

  • Destroy Non-Capsuleers

  More contribution methods to come soon.

  Corporation Palette

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

  

  • Brand Managers will be able to assign between 1 to 3 custom colors to represent their corporation.

  • These colors will be represented in two key places: Corporation Window and Freelance Jobs (only those created by corporations).

  • A new Brand Management section in the Corporation Window. You'll find anything related to your corp's visual identity here: logos, structure SKINR, and now Corporation Palette.

  Paragon Hub

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

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

  Omega Benefits Window

  A new look at Omega - Know your clone status

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

  

  • A detailed breakdown of Omega Benefits.

    • Omega clones nearing expiration, giving a timely reminder.

  • Fully subscribed Omega Capsuleers can still access the benefits window through the Neocom menu.

  ---

  New Eden Map

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

  

  What has changed:

  • Filters can now be accessed through a new Filter Bar located at the bottom center of the map, replacing the previous dropdown menu in the map header.

  • Players can now add filters to their favorites and quickly access or switch between them.

  • The filter bar can be customized by right-clicking it and selecting Manage Filter Categories, letting players choose which filter groups are shown.

  • Two new Quick Action buttons have been added to the bottom right of the map. Players can use them to instantly refocus the camera on either their current location or their home station.

  • A View Mode toggle (shown as a circled "A" icon) lets players switch between the standard 3D view and a more abstract, flattened view of the map.

  • A new Layout Panel in the bottom left corner gives players more control over how the map is displayed. Options include:

    • Grouping the map by system, constellation, or region.

    • Highlighting connection lines between systems at different levels.

    • Choosing which jump bridge links are visible on the map.

  • The selected location is shown at the top center of the map. From there, players can focus on a higher-level location or quickly set destination and add waypoint using new quick action buttons.

  • The map interface is now responsive, with improvements to how it behaves in minimized, floating, or fullscreen modes.

  • The Pointer Window now allows players to browse available filters and share them in chat with other capsuleers.

  ---

  Sovereignty / Equinox Expanded

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

  New Exploration Upgrades

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

  

  • Exploration Detector 1, 2 and 3.

    • These three tiers of Exploration Upgrades will have a combination of data and relic sites and will be available from the Angel Cartel, Blood Raiders, Guristas Pirates, Sansha Nation, Serpentis and Rogue Drone factions.

    • These exploration upgrades have a guaranteed chance to spawn several exploration sites between 0 and 5 jumps from the solar system where the upgrade is installed.

    • Exploration sites spawned from the sov upgrades all have a small chance to escalate to a brand-new data and relic escalation with the potential for high rewards.

      • Exclusive rewards from the data escalation include blueprint copies for the powerful new “Xarasier” storyline modules for micro jump drives, reactive armor hardeners, ancillary shield boosters and armor repairers, the new hacking focused ‘Wedge’ implant set and the triplot scan acquisition array.

    • The higher tier upgrades have an increased number of sites and faster respawn times.

  The Exploration Upgrades cost:

  

  Resource Generation Upgrades

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

  

  • Workforce Mecha-Tooling upgrade, available in 3 tiers, which costs power and generates workforce.

  • Power Monitoring Division upgrades, available in 3 tiers, which costs workforce and generates power.

    • Upgrades are mutually exclusive and it’s not possible to have both workforce and power upgrades installed at the same time.

  The Resource Generation Upgrades cost:

  

  System Effect Generator Upgrades

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

  

  • Electric Stability Generator

    • This generator produces system-wide effects similar to those encountered in Electric environments within Abyssal Deadspace.

    • All ships in system: 25% bonus to Capacitor recharge rate, +25% targeting range and Directional Scanner range.

  • Exotic Stability Generator

    • This generator produces system-wide effects similar to those encountered in Exotic environments within Abyssal Deadspace.

    • All ships in system: +25% scan resolution, +2 AU/s warp speed.

  • Gamma Stability Generator

    • This generator produces system-wide effects similar to those encountered in Gamma environments within Abyssal Deadspace.

    • All ships in system: +5% Shield HP, 5% Shield Booster Effectiveness, +10% Capacitor capacity.

  • Plasma Stability Generator

    • This generator produces system-wide effects similar to those encountered in Plasma environments within Abyssal Deadspace.

    • All ships in system: +5% Armor HP, 5% Armor Repairer Effectiveness, +10% bonus to the benefits of overloading modules.

  The Stability Generator Upgrades cost:

  

  ---

  Skyhook Cost of Conquest

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

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

  Equinox Blueprint Conversion

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

  Remote Repairers

  • This bonus is improved to +15% on T3Cs with the offensive - support processor subsystem from the heat bonus with level 5 skills.

  Logistics Cruisers

    • New Bonus - 15% reduction in Armor Plate Mass Penalty per level of Logistics.

    • Base Velocity increased from 230 m/s to 245 m/s.

    • Agility improved from 0.615x to 0.56x.

  • Basilisk:

    • New Bonus - 7.5% bonus to Shield Hitpoints gained from Shield Extenders per level of Logistics.

    • Base speed increased from 192 m/s to 205 m/s.

    • New Bonus - 7.5% bonus to Armor Hitpoints gained from Armor Plates per level of Logistics.

  Strategic Cruiser Offensive Support Subsystems

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

  • Legion Offensive - Support Processor Subsystem:

    • +75 Powergrid.

  • Tengu Offensive - Support Processor Subsystem:

    • +60 Powergrid.

  • Proteus Offensive - Support Processor Subsystem:

    • +75 Powergrid.

  • Loki Offensive - Support Processor Subsystem:

    • +60 Powergrid.

  Savior Implant Set

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

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

  Remote Repair Diminishing Returns Adjustment

  • We’ve relaxed the diminishing returns formula so that the formula is now slightly less aggressive, and so ships will now receive a higher amount of HP per second when getting repaired by multiple logistics ships at once.

  • Included below is a graph showing the updated formula in Legion compared to TQ. The graph shows total incoming HP per second for a ship which is receiving T2 Remote Capital Reps from a Triage’d FAX.

  

  • As an example

    • For a target getting remote repaired by 100 Capital T2 Remote Repair Modules (33 FAXes and some change)

      • TQ = 78440 HP per second incoming.

      • Legion = 97850 HP per second incoming.

      • Which is an increase of just under 25%

  Cruisers

  Thorax

  • Powergrid Output improved from 820 to 860 MW.

  • Maximum Velocity improved from 240 to 250 m/s.

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

  Rupture

  • Medium Projectile damage bonus per level of Minmatar Cruiser increased from 5% to 10%.

  • Medium Projectile rate of fire per bonus of Minmatar Cruiser replaced with 7.5% bonus to Medium Projectile Tracking Speed per level.

  • Drone Bay and Bandwidth improved from 30m3 and 30 Mbit/sec to 40m3 and 40 Mbit/sec.

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

  Exequror Navy Issue

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

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

  Battlecruisers

  Myrmidon Navy Issue

  • Cargo Capacity increased from 400m3 to 560m3.

  • Bonus to the strength of web drones now also grants a 10% bonus to web drone hitpoints per level of Gallente Battlecruiser.

  Harbinger Navy Issue

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

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

  Mining Barges

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

  Factional Warfare & Insurgencies

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

  Quality of Life Improvements

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

  Surgical Strike

  • Increased the resistances of Energized Membranes, Armor Coatings, Armor Hardeners, Shield Hardeners, and Shield Amplifiers by ~11%.

    • Note: This is a full rollback of the Surgical Strike resistance nerfs.

  Titans and Supercarriers

  • Increased the damage of single target Titan Doomday weapons to 2,400,000 (from 2,000,000).

  • Added a new skillbook, Advanced Doomsday Operation, which increases the damage of Titan super weapons by 7.5% per skill level. Note: This increases damage of single target DD, lance, reaper & boson, but does not increase Lancer dread lance damage.

  • Increased the Titan Armor Plate and Shield Extender role bonus to 500% (from 300%).

  • Increased the Supercarrier Armor Plate and Shield Extender role bonus to 400% (from 200%).

  • Increased the number of salvos a fighter has as follows:

    • T1 and T2 Light Fighters: from 12 to 18.

    • Faction Light Fighters: from 15 to 20.

    • T1 and T2 Heavy Fighters: from 6 to 9.

    • T1 Long Range Fighters: from 2 to 3.

    • T2 Long Range Fighters: from 3 to 5.

  • Reduced the damage applied by Space Superiority fighters attacking non-drones and non-fighters to 95% (from 80%).

  

  Titan Doomsday weapons have not kept up with the metagame and have therefore been given a significant buff. The survivability of Titans and Supercarriers has also been increased with stronger Armor Plate and Shield Extender bonuses. Combined, there should be more opportunities for the game’s largest ships to take the field and make a difference.

  Fighters will now be more sustainable during engagements, decreasing the time they spend being recalled and rearmed. Space Superiority fighters were applying too well to sub-capital ships and have therefor had their damage to these ships decreased without impacting their anti-fighter role.

  Patch Notes for 2025-05-15.1

  Features & Changes:

  Nexus Reckoning:

  The Nexus Reckoning has concluded, with all 5 occupying factions in firm control of their respective wormholes.

  • Select sites from the event will continue to appear:

    • Vigilance Point sites will remain within Pochven.

    • Observatory Infiltration sites will appear within low-security Empire space and Pochven.

    • Deepflow Rift sites will continue to appear across New Eden and in wormholes, though their frequency outside Pochven has been reduced.

  Patch Notes for 2025-05-14.1

  Features & Changes:

  Sovereignty:

  • Updated the backend sovereignty service in preparation for the legion expansion. Most of these changes should be invisible but the following change will come into effect today.

    • Upgrades that are offlined through player actions in the sovereignty hub (like reprioritizing upgrades) will now cause them to go into the Offline state instead of the Low power state. This will mean that players will have to pay the fuel startup costs again on upgrades that are moved offline this way.

    • Upgrades that are offlined through external forces, such as running out of resources froma a Skyhook being destroyed, or mercenary den anarchy, will still continue to go into low power mode.

  Defect Fixes:

  Gameplay:

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

  • Sovereignty upgrades will now correctly be turned offline if the sovereignty hub runs out of fuel and the sovhub has not been simulated recently.

  Patch Notes for 2025-04-15.1

  Features & Changes:

  PvE:

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

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

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

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

  • A brand-new seasonal challenge track is now available in The Agency. Complete challenges by engaging with a variety of content, including high-end fleet encounters, solo combat and hacking sites, mining and manufacturing. Progress through the reward track to unlock exclusive Drifter-themed SKINs, SKINR components, PLEX and SOCT ships!

  • Daily login rewards are also active throughout the event! Log in each day to claim Drifter-themed SKINs and SKINR components, boosters, EverMarks, and up to 650,000 Skill Points. Make sure to log in daily from now until May 15th to collect them all!

  • All 5 Drifter wormholes are now under the control of a Race for the Hives winner. Their grip on these systems is tenuous, relying on the aid of capuleers to help put an end to the Drifter’s machinations. As control wanes, the presence of the Drifters increases. Keep the systems out of their hands at all costs!

  • Within the occupied systems, the Drifter Hive sites have been replaced with the Reckoning: Labyrinth Complex. Within these sites, a fleet must traverse a randomised path of increasingly difficult challenges to reach their goal. Only through the labyrinth can the nexus be accessed. Keep your eyes peeled and be prepared for some surprises! For those who wish to reach the deepest depths of the maze, a group of 10 pilots is recommended. Up to and including T2 Battlecruisers are permitted within.

  • The Reckoning: Nexus Point is the true test for those who wish to organise against the Drifter forces. While it promises great rewards to the well-prepared, the threats within may push capsuleers to their limits. A group of 15 pilots is recommended. Like the Labyrinth Complex, T2 Battlecruisers are the largest ship type permitted within this site.

  • Capsuleers can deliver items to occupation sites within Drifter wormhole systems in return for faction-based rewards!

  • New landmark sites marking the old Drifter Hive locations have been added to each Drifter wormhole system.

  • The popular Horizon Siege Point site returns in the form of the Reckoning: Vigilance Point. This site, appearing within Pochven and Shattered Wormhole systems, features several improvements to help foster good fights: drones are now targeted by specific NPCs, the payout range has been reduced to 50km, and micro jump drives no longer function while the wave is active.

  • New Ore Sites will be spawning in high, low, null security space and Pochven. Refine Tyranite into Eleutrium to be traded for hive system Filaments, Volatile Boosters, and used to manufacture Emission Amplifiers and Limiters.

  • Sleeper Drone Manufacturing Sites have begun appearing across New Eden. These hostile-infested zones are designed for solo Capsuleers seeking a challenge. Reckoning: Sleeper Forge sites can be found in high-security space and present a lower threat level, though a Battlecruiser is still recommended for safety. Reckoning: Sleeper Foundry sites found in low-security space are significantly more dangerous, and Capsuleers are advised to bring at least a Heavy Assault Cruiser before engaging.

  • Sleeper relic sites have also begun emerging across New Eden. Reckoning: Sleeper Reserve (high-security space) and Reckoning: Drifter Stockpile (low-security space) conceal valuable relics waiting to be uncovered. Skilled and well-equipped capsuleers—armed with scan probes and relic analyzers—can hack these sites to claim their hidden treasures.

  • While the Drifter Crisis Interstellar Events are now gone, their Crisis: Field Rescue and Crisis: Observatory Infiltration sites can now be found across Empire-controlled systems. Crisis: Deathless Research Outpost sites can also be found there and within null-security space.

  • Rewards that can be found by capsuleers within these solo combat and relic sites include valuable Sleeper Protocol Subverter, Drifter themed SKINs and SKINR components, historic capsuleer day SKINs and apparel, limited-time Cerebral Accelerators, boosters and implants.

  Defect Fixes:

  Graphics:

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

  ---

  Patch Notes for 2025-04-10.1

  Features & Changes:

  PvE:

  • Several improvements have been made to the code that manages site distributions and respawning. These changes are mostly invisible and will enable new content distribution methods in the future, but there is one change to two sets of sites that will be visible immediately:

    • Rogue Drone combat anomalies spawned randomly in highsec and Mercoxit mining sites spawned from sovereignty prospecting upgrades will both cluster in unvisited systems less often than before, which will have the effect of increasing the practical visibility of both sets of sites during normal gameplay.

  ---

  Patch Notes for 2025-04-09.1

  Features & Changes:

  Zarzakh

  • Construction complex around the Deathless Shipcaster in Zarzakh has been removed.

  • Infomorph Decryption Trader and Atavum Research Trader, at Warden site in Zarzakh, have had their graphics updated, to better reflect its Deathless origin.

  • Various issues with the Aegis, Federal Police, Imperial Police, Republic Police, and State Police SKINs have been fixed: all non-Gallente hulls now have the latest Police VFX and geometry, lights now blink correctly in idle vs. warp state, lights floating off the ship hulls are now attached correctly to the ship.

  Technical:

  • MacOS systems with an AMD GPU and certain graphic settings will no longer crash.

  • General stability improvements.

  ---

  Patch Notes for 2025-03-27.1

  Defect Fixes:

  Gameplay:

  • Fixed an issue that allowed boosters and expert systems claimed through the ACP to be tradeable on the market and contracts.

  ---

  Patch Notes for 2025-03-26.1

  Features & Changes:

  Air Career Program:

  • Migrating rewards from the redeem queue to being character bound. Item rewards will be delivered to ship cargo, home station or to the current station the character is currently in. Skill Point and ISK Rewards will be automatically redeemed to the Characters account.

  Defect Fixes:

  Graphics:

  • When using the star map on macOS, with low shader settings, the image will now render correctly on all GPUs.

  User Interface:

  • Thousand separators are now properly showing on Win11 computers using French settings.

  ---

  Patch Notes for 2025-03-25.1

  Features & Changes:

  Graphics:

  • Updated several event booster icons so the numerals are now on the left side rather than the right side.

  Defect Fixes:

  Gameplay:

  • When changing the reinforcement time of an upwell structure or flex structure, the mail sent will now correctly state that it takes 30 days instead of 7 days.

  • Added a warning for someone attempting to open a filament while a fleet member is coming out of warp or in warp invulnerability, which would prevent them from becoming linked to the trace.

  Graphics:

  • Updated the icons for scripts which can be loaded into sensor boosters and remote sensor boosters so that they now use the updated icons.

  • Energy and Workforce Skyhook graphics now display correctly according to type of Skyhook.

  ---

  Defect Fixes:

  Graphics:

  • FSR 1.0 now works correctly on macOS

  • Due to a cloning accident, some capsuleers received an unintended beard shave, resulting in an outbreak of "capsuleer babyface." Clone bay engineers have identified and fixed the cause of the missing beards. They extend their thanks to ‘Redbeard XIII’ for reporting the issue—who now has their handsome looks restored.

  ---

  Patch Notes for 2025-03-21.1

  Features & Changes:

  Miscellaneous:

  • 7 new billboard ads have been added to the rotation.

  Defect Fixes:

  Technical:

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

  ---

  Patch Notes for 2025-03-19.1

  Features & Changes:

  Drifter Crisis:

  • Fleets larger than 2x a site’s optimal size will no longer receive payouts or complete challenges.

    • Optimal fleet sizes are shown within a site's Opportunities page.

    • For example, if a Lancer Counter Offensive fleet is larger than 10 people, no rewards will be given.

  • Increased the rift closing timer within Deepflow Rift sites to 18 minutes (from 15).

  • Added a bonus payout when players retrieve all possible canisters within a Deepflow Rift site.

  • Increased the amount of points awarded when completing a Vigilant Dreamer challenge.

  Sov Anomalies:

  • Sites will now appear when a Sov Hub upgrade is activated, and you will no longer need to wait until the next downtime for them to spawn - but they will only start to appear after their usual respawn timer.

    • For example, if you install a Major Threat III Upgrade, then the sites will start appearing 12 minutes after you have installed and onlined the upgrade.

    • An Isogen Prospecting Array II upgrade would take just over 4 hours for the Griemeer deposit to spawn, and 10 hours for the guaranteed Large Mercoxit Deposit to spawn.

  • Turning off a Sov Hub upgrade before its site spawns will cancel the pending spawn.

  • Sites will now be removed if their Sov Hub upgrade is turned off, regardless of whether it's in space or pending spawn.

  Defect Fixes:

  Drifter Crisis:

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

  Patch Notes for 2025-03-18.1

  Features & Changes:

  Graphics:

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

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

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

  Balancing:

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

  Localization:

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

  User Interface:

  • It’s now possible to set a hotkey for broadcast - Repair Target.

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

  Defect Fixes:

  Graphics:

  • Image stability when using anti-aliasing has been significantly improved. This reduces the flickering effect that can be seen on thin geometry in the game.

  • Some small weapons like the Light Neutron Blaster no longer have shadows that occasionally flicker.

  • When using an IntelARC graphics card and DirectX11, an issue that caused the scene to flicker will no longer happen. Please ensure you’re on the latest graphics drivers for this issue to be resolved completely.

  • Various client stability improvements.

  Gameplay:

  • Fixed an issue which could cause sites to have a longer respawn time than intended the first time they respawn after being installed.

  • It’s now possible to store a fleet as a fleet member (It was only working for the boss before).

  • Travel Filaments can no longer be activated on a deadspace grid.

  User Interface:

  • Fixed issue in which saving an existing SKIN design with a new hull did not update the icon in SKINR.

  • Fixed an issue that caused excessive brightness on windows when transparency was reduced.

  Patch Notes for 2025-03-13.1

  Features & Changes:

  Drifter Crisis:

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

  • New Race for the Hives challenges have been added:

    • These replace the existing challenges.

    • Each of the 5 Crisis sites and the Deepflow Rift site have been given a ‘Complete Site’ challenge:

      • Only characters eligible for a site’s payout will be counted as completing the challenge.

      • The points value of each challenge varies, but the overall points per challenge have increased significantly.

    • All 6 challenges will be active simultaneously, allowing players to pick the content that suits them.

    • Note: existing faction and event track progress will not be affected by these changes.

  • Contribution earned when salvaging Battle Wreckage within Field Rescue sites has been greatly increased.

    • Note: the top contributing fleet will earn the site’s payout.

  User Interface:

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

  Defect Fixes:

  Drifter Crisis:

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

  Gameplay:

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

  User Interface:

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

  Ansiblex Gates & Force Projection:

  • Ansiblex Jump Gates

    • It’s no longer possible to use an Ansiblex while warp disrupted or inside a bubble.

      • Ansiblex Jump Gates have been renamed to Ansiblex Jump Bridges for more clarity on not being able to use them while warp disrupted anymore.

    • Reduced the Radius attribute on the Ansiblex Jump Bridge from 13,000m to 7,000m.

      • This will mean that it now takes up much less volume/area in space and will be easier to camp with warp disruptors and bubbles.

    • Ansiblex Bridges no longer auto-repair, no longer have a damage cap and now use the same reinforcement flow as Metenox Moon Drills.

      • Ansiblex HP values and resistances have been rebalanced following this change, to provide an increase to their total EHP while giving them higher resistances and lower flat HP to make them easier to remote repair for logistics pilots.

        • Shield HP and Armor reduced from 750,000 HP to 500,000 HP.

          • (Note: These are increased by 4x when it is high power).

        • Shield and Armor Resistances increased from 20% to 75%.

        • Structure Hitpoints increased from 3,000,000 HP to 12,000,000 HP.

    • Ansiblex Bridges can no longer be placed closer than 100,000km to stargates.

      • Existing Ansiblex Bridges will be grandfathered into their current locations, but once destroyed, they will need to be placed at least 100,000km away from the nearest stargate to be replaced.

  We’re making a number of changes to Ansiblex Bridges to limit their force projection power. We’re doing that primarily through giving players more agency by making them more difficult or dangerous to use in contested space, removing the damage cap and requiring them to be manually repaired just like Metenox Moon drills, and requiring new Ansiblex bridges to be placed off grid from stargates to make scouting from the gate harder, rather than introducing new systems or mechanics which limits their use such as jump fatigue.

  Our goal with these changes is to make sure nullsec line members and sov holders are still able to use Ansiblex bridges to access the core space that their alliance controls, so that they can still efficiently do daily activities such as mining, ratting, PI, Mercenary Dens, refueling and logistics work without impeding them with a system like fatigue. While opening up more gameplay options to counter force projection, such as delaying responses and fleets with defensive Interdictor and bubble usage, making them more dangerous through increasing the ability for players to setup traps like bombing runs and pipebombs, and to give more options to raiders and roaming gangs by making them easier to camp, and increasing the burden of maintaining distant Ansiblex gates outside of the alliances core space.

  Ship Warp Speed Changes:

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

  Overtime, we’ve adjusted and rebalanced different ship class warp speeds, most recently in 2019 and they are now fairly inconsistent with some ships like Heavy Assault Cruisers having the same warp speed as Stealth Bomber Frigates and Tech 1 Destroyers, while industrial ships such as haulers and mining barges which are also the same size (M) are slower than some battleships.

  This can make it difficult for new players to understand the relationship of warp speeds between different size classes of ships and Tech II ships currently have faster warp speeds than Tech I ships, even when it doesn’t always make sense for their specialized role, like the above-mentioned heavy assault cruisers warping faster than regular cruisers. Tech II ships from the size above are also competing with the tech I and navy size below for warp speeds, which makes it is harder to justify bringing smaller classes of ships. This also contributes to unhealthy ‘force projection’ since stronger, more powerful ships, are also able to cross the universe faster.

  We have made the following changes to address these issues.

  • Grouped up all ships based on their size, such as Small, Medium, Large and Capital. Removing the 10% or +0.5AU/s bonus from Tech II ships.

  • Ships that are slightly bigger than this size category, such as Destroyers for small, Battlecruisers and Haulers for Medium etc. are placed in a plus sized group.

    • This leaves us with just 7 base warp speed tiers rather than the current 13!

  • Tech II ships which need the increased warp speed for performing their specialization, such as Interceptors and Interdictors, have been given role bonuses to warp speed to keep their current warp speeds about the same while making these ships easier to identify for new players.

  • The Net result from these changes are that Titans, Freighters, Mining Barges, Exhumers, Haulers will now warp 10-15% faster, The Porpoise and the Orca get improvements of 25-30% and most Tech II ships which are not specialized will warp slightly slower.

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

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

  Included below are the old warp speed tiers for reference:

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

  • Additionally, Capsules will now warp at 4.0 AU/s to match cruisers, which is what they did before the 2019 warp speed increase for Cruisers.

    • We are not buffing the warp speed of corvettes at this time, which still warp at 3.0 AU/s, to make sure we do not obsolete shuttles and tech I frigates as travel options.

  Filaments:

  • A spool-up timer has been added to all travel filaments (Triglavian Space, Needlejack, and Ice Storm).

  • A Filament Trace will appear next to the travel filament’s owner on activation:

    • Nearby fleet members without capsuleer log-off timers will become linked to the trace as it appears.

    • Characters will unlink from a trace if they cloak, change ship, or go beyond 30km of the trace.

      • A link cannot be reestablished once broken.

    • If the filament’s owner unlinks from the trace, it immediately closes.

    • Traces can be scanned with combat probes or d-scan.

  • After the spool-up completes, the filament’s owner can jump all characters which remain linked to it:

    • Warp disrupted players will not be jumped.

      • Filament owners will be given a confirmation prompt if characters will be left behind.

    • Traces will close after 15 minutes have passed since it first appeared.

  • Travel filaments can no longer be used on a deadspace grid.

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

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

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

  Balancing:

  • Eos

    • 10% bonus to drone damage and hitpoints per level of Gallente battlecruiser has now been split into 2 separate bonuses.

      • 10% bonus to heavy drone, medium drone, and light drone hitpoints and damage.

      • 5% bonus to sentry drone damage and hitpoints.

    • 7.5% bonus to drone tracking per level of command ships has now been split into 2 separate bonuses.

      • 7.5% bonus to heavy drone, medium drone and light drone tracking.

      • 5% bonus to sentry drone tracking.

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

  • Orca

    • Agility multiplier improved from 2.6x to 2.0x

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

  Taking into the account the 25% warp speed buff that it is getting, it should feel significantly more mobile when travelling between systems and mining locations.

  • Heavy Interdiction Cruisers

    • All HICs can now fit the regular Cynosural Field Generator.

  • Interdictors

    • Reduced the web strength of the Stasis Webification Probes launched by Interdictors from 40% to 20%, to reduce how effective they are against brawlers and sig tanking fleet compositions.

  • Burst Jammers (ECM Burst)

    • Can now only be fitted to Battleship Hulls, Hauler Hulls and Command Ships.

  • A009 C13 Wormholes reduced lifetime from 16h to 4.5h.

  Factional Warfare & Pirate Insurgencies:

  • The Pirate FOB will now drop 1.5 billion ISK in average in loot.

  • Regular pirate insurgency roaming NPCs now have a small chance to drop scorched navigation log items which can be turned in at FW LP stores in conjunction with some ISK and LP for a crate containing blueprints for new navy scanning upgrade modules.

  • Rebalanced the number of pilots that get paid when completing multiplayer reward complexes. The new Schema is as follows:

    • Scouts and Smalls are now NVY-2 / PIR-2

    • Mediums are now NVY-3 / PIR-3

    • Larges are now NVY-4 / PIR-4

    • And Opens remain at paying up to 5 players before splitting the rewards.

  • Players will now need to be inside a FW Battlefield site, and within 200km of the entrance beacon to the site for at least 3 minutes to get paid LP.

  • Moved structures which were very close to the Amarr FW warp in for the Minmatar Battlefield so they will no longer bump off from it if trying to approach the central capture point.

    • Tier 1 Power Cost reduced from 500 to 450

  • The Tier 2 nullsec sovereignty hub mining upgrade sites, such as the Grimeer Deposit, have been refactored so that approximately 40% of the asteroids in each site have been removed and their ore contents added to existing asteroids in the site, we have prioritized removing the lower quantity asteroids and tried to make sure there is at least one very large asteroid in each site, we’ve also compacted the asteroid belts to move more asteroids closer together.

  • Additionally, after this refactor, the amount of ore in the Tier 2 sites has then also been increased by approximately 10-15%.

    • This means that now, the average asteroid size in all of the sites has been significantly increased.

  • The Tier 1 mining upgrade sites have also had their ore contents increased by approximately 10%.

  • Increased the chance of getting the mining escalation from Tier 2 mining sites by 1.5x

  • The new Tier 3 sites have approximately 2.5x chance over the improved Tier 2 mining sites to get the mining escalation.

  • We have a created a new ‘Enormous Mercoxit Deposit’ site which has 4x the amount of Mercoxit in it than the Large Mercoxit Deposit, and much larger asteroids.

    • Total site ore volume = 960,000 m3

  • Tier 3 mining upgrades will give a guaranteed Enormous Mercoxit Deposit into the system with a 12 hour respawn time.

  • Tier 2 mining upgrades now will also give a guaranteed Large Mercoxit Deposit into the system rather than it being a chance-based spawn, which has an 8 hour respawn time.

  • Tier 3 mining upgrades now also give a chance to spawn the ‘Large Mercoxit Deposit’ in addition to the guaranteed Enormous Mercoxit Deposit site.

  • Tier 2 mining upgrades now also give a chance to spawn the ‘Average Mercoxit Deposit’ in addition to the guaranteed Large Mercoxit Deposit site.

  • Added a new faction ORE Deep Core Strip Miner module which has 0% waste as an option for mining Mercoxit with mining barges and exhumers. It can be obtained from ORE corporation LP stores.

    • Cost/Materials to Purchase:

    • 37,500,000 ISK

    • 56,250 LP

    • Plunder Mordinium: 92 → 96

  • To help allieviate pressure on R4s and increase the value of Athanors - The magmatic gas fuel cost per hour for a Metenox Moon Drill has been increased from 110 units to 150 units.

  • Most Mining sites spawned by upgrades will now persist their respawn time across downtimes (i.e. they won’t always respawn at downtime even if they were mined out at 10:59).

  Missions & NPCs:

  • The bounties for NPCs which were increased in the update following Revenant before the NPC warp ins were fixed have now been returned to slightly higher than their original numbers, with the exception for the buffs we made to the NPCs that are exclusive to the Forsaken Sanctum and Teeming Horde sites, which are retaining their approximate total site 36% bounty increase.

  • the Objectives Infopanel has been added to abyssal deadspace encounters, so you can now track what room you are in and how many NPCs are remaining.

  Planetary Interaction:

  • 🤝 It’s now possible to restart extractors for a planet from the Planetary Industry window.

    • To do this, the extractors need to have finished their cycle already, it cannot be done to refresh an ongoing extraction which hasn’t completed yet.

  • PI Templates are no longer an opt-in feature preview and have been added as a feature for everyone.

  • Several improvements have been made to the filters for PI Templates.

  • Improved the search function for PI Templates.

  • It’s now possible to rename PI Templates.

  • Using a PI Template with a higher command center level than your character has, will now just upgrade it to your max skill level and try to add as much as it can from the template before running out of resources.

  • 🤝 We now store the height of the window for each tab, so we are not constantly shrinking the windows when you switch tabs and back to them. This applies only to those tabs that do not have max height.

  • 🤝 The sort order of templates is now alphabetical.

  • 🤝 It’s now possible to select multiple pins by holding shift and then swap multiple schematics at once.

  • The routes tab shows the short names for the pins.

  • Combat Battlecruisers and Attack Battlecruisers have had their reprocessed materials updated to the same inputs as the blueprint, so they will now have more accurate (higher) insurance payouts.

  • The Estimated Item Value for multiple items in the game in the manufacturing cost breakdown should now more accurately reflect the value of the finished product.

  Little Things:

  • 🤝 Show number of skill points in queue​.

    • Showcases how many skill injectors may be needed​.

  • 🤝 Added state icons to drones in drone window​.

    • Increased the readability of drone states in the drone window​.

  • 🤝 Market orders in the Market window are default ordered by:

    • Sell orders are lowest to highest.

    • Buy order are highest to lowest.

  • 🤝 Make double-clicking in Orders History bring up market details.

  • 🤝 You can now pin stations to the top of your personal assets window. It is also possible to hide assets.

  • 🤝 You can now jump through Ansiblex’s via the radial menu.

  • 🤝 Added the ability to open multiple fixed item crates.

    • These are crates that always contain the same items and don’t have random loot.

  • 🤝 Buy Orders will now always buy items from the market at the lowest possible value sale orders first at those prices, instead of always buying everything at the buy order price even when there are already existing valid sell orders at a lower price.

    • For example, there might be 3 sell orders for a unit of Tritanium in a station, 1 for 6 isk, 1 for 8 isk, and 1 for 10 isk.

    • You setup a buy order in that station for several units at 10 ISK.

    • Previously, you would have bought all 3 units of tritanium from the 3 sell orders for the buy order price of 10 ISK after setting up the order.

    • You will now, pay 6 ISK for the 1st, 8 ISK for the 2nd, and then 10 ISK only for the last unit and any units after that, that players sell to you.

  Defect Fixes:

  Gameplay:

  • Fixed extra columns in inventory window.

    • Allowing players to show extra columns in the inventory window, which previously wasn’t functional.

  • Missing Slot Categories in Inventory Window.

    • Slot category in the inventory was not functional, we’ve fixed it so that players can now see what slot the item occupies on your ship (if applicable).

  • Fixed the ability to simulate the fit of ships in the corp hanger.

  Graphics:

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

  User Interface:

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

  Patch Notes for 2025-01-30.1

  Features & Changes:

  Drifter Crisis: Drifter Crisis Systems

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

  • Systems under attack can be found in the new ‘Interstellar Events’ section of the AIR Opportunities window.

  • Complete ‘Crisis’ sites to weaken the grip the Drifters have on these systems.

  • There are 4 varieties of Crisis site, with a 5th Crisis Resolution site available once the Drifter forces have been sufficiently weakened.

  • Each site requires teamwork and strategy, with specific roles needing to be fulfilled for success:

    • Crisis: Field Rescue — Salvage the wreckage left behind following an empire assault on a Drifter facility to locate any survivors. It is recommended that at least 3 capsuleers tackle this rescue mission. T1 frigates and standard T1 destroyers are permitted.

    • Crisis: Observatory Infiltration — Scan down this site to retrieve valuable relics from the remains of an emergent Jovian Observatory. Bring up to 2 other capsules to maximize rewards, but be wary of any traps the Drifters may have left behind! T1 frigates, destroyers, and standard T1 cruisers are permitted to enter.

    • Crisis: Deathless Research Outpost — A Deathless research base is under attack by Drifter forces. Use remote repair modules to keep the structure alive until it can be secured. Alternatively, destroy it yourself and sell the accrued Hyperspace Telemetry data to the highest bidder. 5 capsuleers are recommended to aid the site; less may be required to destroy it. T1 frigates, destroyers, and standard T1 cruisers are permitted to enter.

    • Crisis: Lancer Counter Offensive — An empire-owned Lancer dreadnought has been deployed to aid a civilian structure. Help it destroy the Drifter presence before its nefarious task can be completed. T1 frigates, destroyers, and standard T1 cruisers are permitted to enter.

    • Crisis Resolution: Vigilant Dreamer — To resolve the crisis within the system, 10 capsuleers are required to bring an end to the Vigilant Dreamer. Using data analyzers, the defensive array protecting this Drifter facility can be disabled allowing it to be destroyed. T1 frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and standard T1 battlecruisers are permitted to enter.

  • Payouts from these sites are awarded to the top contributing fleet alone.

  Deepflow Rifts

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

  Homefront Operations:

  • Remote capacitor transmission is now less effective on allied Dreadnought NPCs within Dread Assault sites.

  • The effectiveness of enemy NPCs which energy neutralize allied Dreadnought NPCs within Dread Assault sites has been greatly increased.

  • Added a delay to the initial enemy hauler spawn within Raid sites.

  • Increased the variance and average spawn time of enemy haulers within Raid sites.

  • Decreased the access difficulty of salvaging wrecks in Salvage Research sites.

  • Increased the number of enemy NPCs within Salvage Research sites.

  Little Things:

  • 🤝 It’s now possible to open multiple crates at once.

    • Once you’ve opened your first crate, there will be an option to open up to 30 additional crates in the crate window.

  Defect Fixes:

  Patch Notes for 2025-01-16.1

  Features & Changes:

  Pochven & Triglavian Invasions:

  Observatory Flashpoints:

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

  • Assault Vector gates now require the use of Observatory Resonance Keys:

    • Each character will need their own key to unlock the gate.

    • A key is consumed on use.

    • Keys can be bought via NPC sell orders within Pochven stations for 30m ISK each.

    • 15x Keys will drop as loot from CONCORD Stellar Observatories.

      • Note: Spare keys cannot be sold to NPCs, but can be sold or traded to other characters.

    • Gates will become unlocked for all characters 60 seconds after a site is complete.

  • Payouts have been adjusted:

    • The total optimal payout of the site has been increased to 3.3b ISK (from 3b ISK).

    • Stellar Surveillance Data will now make up 30% of the optimal reward (from 40%).

    • Stellar Surveillance Data now belongs to the new EDENCOM data item group.

    • Greatly increased the number of NPC buy orders for Stellar Surveillance Data.

  • Threshold Werposts will now have a significantly longer cooldown between target switches.

  • Threshold Werposts will now always attack the same target as each other.

  Standings:

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

  • Fitting and Repair requirements have been reduced to -0.05 (from 1.00 and 2.00, respectively).

  • Manufacturing and Corporation Office requirements have been reduced to 3.00 (from 4.00).

  • Home system stargate requirements have been reduced to 6.00 (from 7.00).

  • Standings will no longer be gained or lost when destroying either type of EDENCOM GunStar.

  • Standings will no longer be gained or lost when destroying a Stellar Observation Post site’s Stellar Observatory structure.

  System-Wide Effects:

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

  • The Dazh Liminality Locus structure has been reworked:

    • Increased the decloaking pulse cooldown timer to 60 minutes (from 6 minutes).

    • Increased the decloaking pulse chance to 60% (from 30%).

    • Removed the system-wide buffs and penalties.

  • Added the removed buffs and penalties as permanent system-wide effects within Pochven:

    • Increased the remote repair bonuses to 30% (from 25%).

  • Added a lesser version of the Pochven system-wide effects to Triglavian Minor Victory systems:

    • Reduced the remote repair bonuses to 15%.

    • Removed the warp speed penalty.

  PVE:

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

  • When a key is consumed, the gate will remain unlocked for that character for the duration of the site.

    • Note: This persists when a character leaves the location or logs out, but resets after a downtime.

  • No keys will be consumed when activating a gate already unlocked for that character.

  Wormhole Capital Escalations:

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

  • A combat site can now escalate at any time before the second wave spawns.

  • A combat site will only de-escalate if there is no capital within range after the second wave spawns.

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

  Defect Fixes:

  Wormhole Capital Escalations:

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

  Localization:

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

  Patch Notes for 2024-12-10.1

  Features & Changes:

  PI Templates:

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

  Balancing:

  • We have made adjustments to the base payout ratio and to the components included in Dreadnought reprocessing to increase the insurance payouts for Dreadnoughts closer to their real value. Our current aim is for a Dreadnought to pay about 70-75% of the ship hull value with platinum insurance on death rather than around 15%, which it currently does.

    • NOTE: These changes will not take effect until after the game recalculates insurance payouts, which may take up to 90 days. The Zirnitra has not been included in these changes for now.

  Implants / Boosters:

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

  Miscellaneous:

  • Activity Tracker has been disabled.

  Missions & NPCs:

  • We have lowered the loyalty point cost for Serpentis and Blood NET Resonators from 1000LP to 750LP.

  • Several LP stores which had some faction ammo offers removed earlier in the year have had them restored.

  • Video Fragments from previous events, such as EVE Operation: Epiphany (Finding the Zarzakh gates), will no longer drop from Angel and Guristas NPCs.

  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.

  User Interface:

  • Skill tooltips now always display their training time.

  • The Opportunities window’s sidebar now collapses immediately when clicking an entry in the sidebar, unless the sidebar is locked expanded.

  • The Corporation window’s sidebar now collapses immediately when clicking an entry in the sidebar, unless the sidebar is locked expanded.

  Defect Fixes:

  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.

  • Improved the handling of timeouts for mercenary dens.

  Ship Information Window:

  • Double-clicking a skill entry in the Skills tab will now open its info window.

  • Fixed an issue where the window background could update incorrectly when enabling compact mode.

  User Interface:

  • Fixed an issue in the Paragon Hub Collection which caused the preview information of design elements to not get cleared.

  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:

  User Interface:

  • Fixed an issue that caused black rendered icons in SKINR.

  Wormhole Capital Escalations:

  • Increased the number of Upgraded Avengers in Unsecured Core Backup Array sites from 3 to 4.

  • The Fitting tab now displays fitted subsystems for your assembled strategic cruisers.

  • The Fitting tab now displays the available subsystems for all strategic cruisers.

  • The 3D ship preview is now always displayed in the SKINs tab, even with compact mode enabled.

  • The SKINs tab content can now become more compact depending on the window’s width and compact mode status.

  • Skills tab’s subtab navigation section is now anchored at the top of the tab in the compact window layout.

  • Skills tab’s skill options section is now anchored at the bottom of the tab in the compact window layout.

    • Capsule

    • Genolution ‘Auroral’ 197-variant Capsule

    • Boobook

    • InterBus Shuttle

    • 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:

  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!

  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.
