• Equinox Update: Tweaks & Balances

  25. July 2024 13:00

  ---

  Bold capsuleers, 

  Your enthusiasm and dedication to EVE Online continually inspire our drive to deliver the best experiences possible, and we extend our gratitude for your support and passion. At the same time, we recognize that some of our ambitious goals for Equinox are taking a bit longer to achieve than expected. While we strive to get everything right, often it is not until capsuleers start interacting with the features in the live universe of New Eden that we can identify aspects that require fine tuning, balancing, fixing, or updating. During the post launch period we address issues that we have identified, actively monitor and gather data, and collaborate with the CSM and the larger community to make iterations based on your feedback.  Following recent updates and continuing over the summer, the focus is on delivering improvements in three key areas: 

  • Further improving and balancing the Equinox sovereignty system and structures. 

  • Balancing and improving the AIR Daily Goals experience. 

  • Improving the SKINR experience for both casual designers and dedicated SKINdustrialists. 

  SOVEREIGNTY STRUCTURES SHORED UP 

  The new anomalies saw significant enhancements in last week’s update, and work is already underway to make further improvements and balancing changes to the new sovereignty system and structures. The primary focus is on the orbital skyhook, with the goal of improving the balance between raiders and defenders to ensure that defenders do not feel compelled to take extreme measures to secure their materials, and attackers have better opportunities for meaningful engagements. 

  PROJECTION CONCERNS 

  Force projection will also be the subject of focus, specifically addressing certain issues created by Zarzakh. The current accessibility of Zarzakh from all over the cluster allows pilots to quickly traverse different areas of space, which has raised community concerns about stifling fights and making the map feel smaller, as conflicts can be reached almost instantly through the Zarzakh shortcut. Work has already begun on changes set to be implemented this fall to ensure a more balanced and engaging experience for all capsuleers. 

  GIVE US TODAY MORE DAILY GOALS 

  The AIR Daily Goals system aims to bring more life to New Eden and reward pilots participating in its vast ecosystem. The goals should be fun, engaging, rewarding and accessible to everyone in the cluster. Based on your feedback several changes have been made with the aim of gathering feedback and data to inform further improvements to the Daily Goals experience. These adjustments see an increase in the daily completion bonus and number of Daily Goals to choose from.  In addition, certain goal types that were difficult or geographically challenging for many pilots have been removed, making it easier for anyone to complete the Daily Goals, regardless of location in space. A temporary weekly skill point gift for Omega pilots has also been added to the New Eden Store, replenishing every Tuesday. Balancing will be an ongoing process, and adjustments will continue being made until it feels just right. 

  BECOME A SKINDUSTRIALIST 

  One of the goals with SKINR for ships is to create new career and specialization opportunities for capsuleers, opening the gates for budding SKINdustrialists. We’ve heard your valuable feedback on SKINR which is already informing current and future updates to the experience. To give more players a chance to fully explore its potential, the cost and time requirements associated with SKINR are being adjusted temporarily while the impact is monitored to inform the next steps. During this period, your feedback will be crucial to help shape future updates.  

  In addition, more ways to specialize have been introduced, with a new skill that reduces Paragon Hub vendor fees. Later this summer you will be able to further unleash your creativity in the SKINR Studio. All design elements will be available when designing a SKIN, whether you own them or not, and all nanocoatings can be applied to any slot. This allows more freedom when designing your dream SKINs as you can freely experiment with various elements and then acquire the necessary elements to realize your vision when you’re ready. Additionally, several quality-of-life improvements are planned: 

  • The ability to share saved skin designs in chat. 

  • More filters for design elements, with direct links to the market or Paragon hub. 

  • The ability to activate components directly within the Paragon Hub. 

  These changes aim to make specializing in SKINR more enjoyable and accessible, while also enhancing the overall user experience. 

  TOWARD THE FUTURE 

  For more details on today’s changes, please refer to the and stay tuned for upcoming updates. As these enhancements are rolled out, you will get a chance to play around with them and tell us what you think so together we find and maintain a good balance as we make further iterations. Together, we will continue to make New Eden a vibrant and thriving place for all capsuleers. 

  Fly safe.

  Patch Notes for 2024-07-18.1

  Features & Changes:

  Mining Upgrades:

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

  • All Prospecting Array upgrades

    • Several asteroids have been combined so that the majority of asteroids in each location require multiple strip miner cycles to mine out.

  • Isogen Prospecting Array (Griemeer Deposit)

    • Total Ore Volume increased from 2,631,000 m3 to 3,000,000 m3.

  • Megacyte Prospecting Array (Ueganite Deposit)

    • Total Ore Volume increased from 1,982,287 m3 to 4,000,000 m3.

  • Mexallon Prospecting Array (Kylxium Deposit)

    • Total Ore Volume increased from 2,040,000 m3 to 3,000,000m3.

  • Nocxium Prospecting Array (Noxcite Deposit)

    • Total Ore Volume increased from 2,100,008 m3 to 3,000,000 m3.

  • Pyerite Prospecting Array (Mordunium Deposit)

    • Total Ore Volume increased from 4,500,000 m3 to 6,000,000 m3.

    • Rebalanced the ore content of the site to a smaller overall percentage of Mordunium asteroids and more Omber and Hedbergite to improve the average isk/hr of mining in the site.

  • Tritanium Prospecting Array (Veldspar Deposit)

    • Total Ore Volume increased from 3,000,000 m3 to 4,000,000 m3.

  • Zydrine Prospecting Array (Hezorime Deposit)

    • Total ore Volume increased from 2,015,799 m3 to 5,970,000 m3.

    • The size of several asteroids have been vastly increased to make this site very comparable to the Colossal Asteroid Cluster, with 24+ asteroids bigger than 100,000m3 and a behemoth 600,000m3 asteroid.

  • Mining Escalation

    • Shrouded Asteroid Cluster has been overhauled and is now the Interstitial Ore Deposit.

    • The chance of acquiring the mining escalation has been greatly increased.

    • Total Ore Volume increased from 3,750,000 to 8,480,000 m3.

    • All asteroids have been replaced with Spodumain, Abyssal Asteroids and a small amount of Mercoxit.

  Combat Upgrades:

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

  • Capital focused escalations (Shielded/Infested Starbase and the Capital Staging/Hive sites)

    • Escalation Expiration timer from 24 hours to 72 hours.

  • Minor and Major Threat Detection Arrays.

    • Maximum Respawn Time reduced from 20 minutes to 12 minutes

    • An additional combat anomaly has been added to most upgrades

    • Adjusted anomalies spawned by Major Threat Detection Arrays in drone space to increase the amount of Drone Horde and Drone Patrol sites by replacing some or all of the Squad and Herd sites.

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

  • Non-Drone Regions

  Patch Notes for 2024-07-16.1

  Defect Fixes:

  Gameplay:

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

  Localization:

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

  ---

  Patch Notes for 2024-07-12.1

  Defect Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue that was causing respawn timers of certain combat anomalies to be too low.

    • The combat anomaly sites spawned by the new sovereignty hub upgrades are intended to respawn faster than anomalies spawned by older upgrades when completed at average speeds, providing a better experience for the vast majority of players. In Equinox, the respawn timers for these sites were adjusted to begin counting down when the previous site spawned instead of when the previous site was completed, causing the effective wait time for the next site to be variable depending on how quickly you completed the previous site. This means that instant respawns of sites are intended to happen in some cases, but not when chaining sites extremely quickly using multiple ships and optimal tactics.

    • In today's patch, we have partially addressed an issue that had been causing the intended cooldowns to not apply properly. This issue was most significantly affecting systems where the combat anomalies were being chain completed in a very short period due to hyper-optimized tactics with multiple characters. Respawn times can still be instant in some situations, especially when the sites are being run at average speeds, but they will no longer be instant every time when the sites are being completed very quickly.

  Patch Notes For 2024-06-27.1

  Features & Changes:

  Sovereignty Transition

  • Check out this devblog for more information on Sovereignty Updates: Transition & Upgrades | EVE Online

  • Players with the appropriate roles in the corp which owns the Sovereignty Hub (Director or CEO) will now be able to choose to transition their sovereignty hub over to the new system.

  • All outstanding bills will need to be paid for a sov hub before it can transition.

  • When choosing to transition, a snapshot is taken of all of the current Strategic Upgrades installed in the sov hub (such as cynosural suppression and advanced logistics network) and these will remain active and functional until the next downtime, this means that players can transition to the new system and won’t have to worry about structures such as Tenebrex Cyno Jammers and Ansiblex Jump Gates going offline after transitioning, and they’ll stay online the entire time if they’re able to install and turn on the new equivalent upgrades before the next downtime.

  • All currently installed Military and Industrial upgrades will also continue to provide their sites until the next downtime. It should be noted that the new mining and combat upgrades will not have their sites appear until the downtime after they have been installed.

  • When a player chooses to transfer over to the new system, all of the old currently installed upgrades in the sovereignty hub will be moved to the HQ station delivery hangar of the corp which owns the sov hub for future reimbursement, when the sov hub also usurps the sovereignty claim from the TCU, the TCU will also be returned to the owning corporations HQ system delivery hangar.

  • It’s no longer possible for old sovereignty upgrades to be manufactured again. In the coming months, reimbursement will come to players who own the old upgrades, TCUs and their blueprints, this may come in the form of NPC buy orders, updating the refining costs to 100% build cost or converting old types into new types where it makes sense, more firm details will be provided at a later date.

  Transitory Structure Rig Amnesty

  • All currently existing structures in sov nullsec will temporarily be able to remove their rigs without destroying them during the transition period which is from now until the next expansion which is scheduled for November.

  • This will only apply to rigs on structures anchored before 27 June.

  • Only players with the Station Manager role (Or Director/CEO) of the corporation which owns the structure will be able to take the rigs off.

  • Special rigs which are fitted to any remaining old nullsec converted outposts which became the special faction fortizars are not able to be removed, while other normal rigs can be removed from faction fortizars.

  • This only applies to structures in sov nullsec which can be claimed by player alliances. (even if it’s unclaimed or owned by a different alliance). This does not apply to structures which are located in other ‘lawless’ systems with a negative security rating such as NPC Nullsec or Wormhole space.

  Upgrade Balance Adjustments

  • Adjusted the power provided by suns, so that the lowest power suns now start at 500 TW, rather than at 150 TW, the amount of power that the best suns still provide is 1000 TW. Suns that had power values between 150 TW and 1000 TW have had their amount provided increased to match the new scaling between 500 and 1000 TW of power.

  • The power, workforce and reagent costs of several upgrades have been adjusted

    • Reminder that you can see the full details in the Equinox System Resource Data spreadsheet.

  • Advanced Logistics Network (Enables Ansiblex Jump Gates)

    • Power cost reduced from 1500 to 1250

    • Workforce cost increased from 18000 to 25000

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

  • All variations of Kylixium

    • Volume reduced from 1.5m3 to 1.2m3

  • All variations of Griemeer

    • Volume reduced from 1m3 to 0.8m3

  • All variations of Noxcite

    • Volume reduced from 6m3 to 4m3

  • All variations of Ueganite

    • Volume reduced from 8m3 to 5m3

    • Tritanium from refining 100 units increased from 1840 to 2300

    • Isogen from refining 100 units increased from 92 to 138

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

  Hello space friends, and welcome to the second Community Beat in July!

  This time around we'd like to shine the spotlight on a few awesome videos that caught our attention. Starting off, we have Rist Gaming with his recording of the near 2 Trillion ISK fight that took place in Ignoitton over a Metenox Moon Drill last week. This massive brawl unfolds bit by bit in the vid where you see Rist piloting a Machariel at the start, and then multiboxes two Zirnitras as the fight progresses. Lowsec is popping. Check it out!

  Next up, is a shorter video by deimos24, where he flies a Capacitor Flux Coil fit, cap stable Ferox Navy Issue. Gotta love fits that make the enemy think you must be running out of cap boosters soon, but little do they know you haven't chugged a single one!

  The third video we'd like to shine a spotlight on is one by the infamous rhiload, who made a name for himself with the "ZKILL GUIDE" videos back in the day. In this video however, he's piloting a Minokowa and doing his best to keep his outnumbered fleetmembers in Ravens alive as they receive volley after volley of missiles from enemy Barghests.

  If you're an aspiring Logi pilot you don't want to miss this one.

  The Fourth video we'd like to spotlight is a remote repair gang that Pando did on his stream yesterday. In this fight they're using Large Ancillary Remote Shield boosting Squalls, one of his go-to tanky fleetcomps that let you brawl and take the enemy by surprise by the amount of logi you have. Definitely worth a watch!

  Next up, there's this clip of roleplaying gone wrong?right? from TalesofLumin.

  It's too good, click here and just watch it. :D You won't regret it 😂

  Next up, we'd like to shine a spotlight on a pretty cool guide to running exploration sites - specifically the Standard Sleeper Cache. We don't often shoutout reddit posts, but this one was such a comprehensive writeup that we didn't want you to miss it.

  Here's the writeup, and then there's also a video to go with it too.

  We also want to take the opportunity to shoutout our partners over at JustAbout, where there are constantly bounties up for content where you could make a bit of irl ISK. It's latest bounty is for making a cinematic planet flyby, but it also has bounties for ship fittings, battle reports & stories, killmail of the week, and a grand mystery challenge and more!

  Head over to their site to see the Live Bounties they have going on right now, over at JustAbout. Seriously, you could sub an extra account or two or three or four for some of these!

  

  A Community Beat wouldn't be complete without some art! Luckily, reddit user Rhaps9000 made a neat comic dubbed "The Recycle of Life" to help our newbros to get a hang of Eve.

  

  That's all for this episode of the Community Beat. We're excited to see what you guys do as the summer progresses. Maybe there are some gamers out there doing MJD carrier shenanigans? (please record! we want to see!) I guess time will tell ;)

  Until next time!

  <3

  p.s. we hope you're all as happy as Wallymarts is with the Patch Notes. Just see how happy he is:

  Brave capsuleers, 

  We want to acknowledge the concerns expressed by the community and CSM regarding the Equinox expansion and associated game changes. We share your passion for EVE Online and we know that everyone has the best wishes for the game at heart. We hear you loud and clear and appreciate the honesty and feedback provided. We have been and continue to actively monitor and discuss the feedback, within CCP and with the CSM, to refine, plan and prioritize the next steps.  

  The focus with Equinox was and remains making nullsec exciting and desirable, not just as a battleground, but as a dynamic homefront ripe with opportunities that will enhance the value generated from sovereignty systems (for corporations and alliances as well as for individuals).  

  Today sees updates to various aspects of Equinox. Below is a high-level overview of these changes, with further details in the . This is just one of many steps forward, as we will continue to refine and adjust in the weeks ahead, with changes planned for Skyhook raiding and improvements to SKINR for ships, and AIR Daily Goals.  

  Enhancing the Value of New Anomalies 

  Since Equinox launched, we’ve received valuable feedback on the new sovereignty systems and have made several changes with the aim of making them more lucrative and exciting.  

  While the ability to select mineral types was an improvement, the sites themselves felt underwhelming, both in terms of the social experience of mining and in their overall value. A few steps have been taken to address this; first, the smallest asteroids have been removed and the minimum asteroid size has been increased such that it can accommodate multiple strip miner cycles. Additionally, the overall volume of the sites has been significantly increased with the Hezorime (Zydrine) and Mordunium (Pyerite) anomalies seeing the largest increase. For asteroid size, we wanted to make sure there was an improved experience compared to old Colossal spawns. The Hezorime deposit will now include significantly larger asteroids, with a single 600k m^3 behemoth asteroid and several dozen with a volume larger than 100k m^3. 

  The mining escalation has also become a more significant objective to take on and complete. The total volume has increased significantly, and the less valuable asteroids have been replaced with spodumain, various Abyssal asteroids, and mercoxit, greatly increasing both the mineral yield and value. You’ll also be seeing them more often, as the escalation rate has been increased significantly. 

  

  Mining anomalies are only part of the equation, as combat anomalies are also being reevaluated. The number of anomalies the threat detection arrays spawn has also been increased, allowing groups to maintain a larger population for PVE, even while running hyper-optimized blitzing setups. To reward those pilots committing larger ships and more optimized setups, the spawn time has been reduced by 40%. This still utilizes the new spawning paradigm, meaning that in all cases the new sites will respawn significantly faster. 

  We want to thank everyone who has taken the time to express their feedback and assure you that we are actively listening and taking it into account as we work on upcoming changes in close collaboration with the CSM. Today marks a step forward on the ongoing journey of evolving the new opportunities that Equinox brings, with more to come in the weeks ahead. 

  Fly safe.

• Your SKINR Experience Improved

  11. July 2024 17:00

  ---

  Colorful capsuleers,

  The Equinox expansion introduced the first iteration of SKINR for ships, ushering in a new, creative era in New Eden. Today your spaceship artistry gets an update, with new improvements and enhancements coming to the powerful personalization tool. Both in response to your valuable feedback and as part of the phased rollout of SKINR, these updates elevate the design and sequencing experience, allowing you to specialize further as a designer and expand your creative capabilities.

  Unlock Your Design Potential

  The new update introduces two new skills – Studio Management and Advanced Studio Management – which allow you to save up to 125 designs when fully trained. These powerful skills enable you to build and manage a comprehensive design portfolio, providing the flexibility and capacity needed to take your SKIN creations to unprecedented heights and establishing yourself as a premier designer in New Eden.

  Refined Designs

  The design process has been made more intuitive, efficient and enjoyable, with the added ability to filter materials by finish type (matte, satin, or gloss), significantly simplifying the process of finding exactly what you need. Additionally, you will now see the sequence time displayed prior to finalizing your design, giving you better oversight and control over your creative process.

  Stock Up to be Unstoppable

  Shopping for design components at the Paragon Hub has also been streamlined. You can quickly expand your stock of design elements by purchasing multiple stacks of a specific component in one go. The hull name is now also displayed when clicking on a SKIN in the hub, ensuring you always select the correct item for your specific needs.

  Sequencing & Selling Supercharged

  The processes involved in sequencing and selling your SKINs have been optimized for greater clarity and convenience. Once you’ve finished designing your masterpiece, the button will now read “Finalize Design,” instead of “Sequence,” and once clicked it will present you with a detailed list of the components used and price breakdown. From there, you can start the sequencing process by clicking “Create SKIN.” Furthermore, you can now share your sequenced SKIN listings through chat, making the process of sharing and selling your creations easier, simpler and more transparent.

  Ongoing Improvements

  This release is an important step forward for SKINR and the Paragon Hub, introducing numerous quality-of-life updates and bug fixes to enhance the overall experience. From refined UI elements to streamlined processes, these enhancements aim to ensure that time spent in the design studio is as enjoyable and productive as possible. But this is only the beginning. Upcoming updates will bring even more improvements, pushing the boundaries of what capsuleers can achieve in space. Your interest and patience is greatly appreciated, and your valuable feedback will inform further enhancements planned over the summer and beyond, improving on the tools that will bring your unique hues to New Eden.

  Fly safe.
