    Patch Notes For 2022-06-28.1

    Features & Changes

    Defect Fixes

    Features & Changes:

    New Feature:

    Air Career Program

    A feature allowing new Capsuleers to explore various career paths, try out different play styles, and find suitable content to improve their skills by completing goals associated with each career. The rewards in the feature are available to new and veteran players alike.

    The feature can be accessed from the NeoCom. The icon is at the top of the NeoCom by default, but it can be moved to another position or removed entirely.

    Goals

    Goals are categorized into Activities which are grouped in Careers.

    • 4 Careers:
      • Explorer - navigation, scanning, hacking, Project Discovery
      • Industrialist - mining, manufacturing, salvaging, trading
      • Enforcer - PvE combat, missions, Abyssal Deadspace
      • Soldier of Fortune - PvP combat and support, Faction Warfare
    • 10 Activities per Career
    • 3-10 Goals per Activity
    • 188 goals in total

    A Goal can be tracked which will display its progress in the Info Panel outside of the AIR Career Program window, but tracking isn't required to complete goals since they progress "passively" during normal gameplay.

    All Capsuleers start the program from the beginning. Previous records are not included. The Air Career Program will always direct Capsuleers to the nearest available agent. Since you can complete Career missions only once, if the designated agent does not have any jobs for you (☹), please set destination to another agent to complete the mission.

    Rewards

    There are rewards for completing particular goals but also for graduating from a career by completing 75% of its goals, and for reaching certain milestones in the overall program.

    • Career Points - each goal provides some amount of Career Points which are used as the measurement of progression in each Career and the AIR Career Program overall. There are 4,000 CP to collect, 1,000 in each career.

    • Skill Points: 750,000 SP in total

      • 4 x 100,000 SP for graduating from each Career

      • 75,000 SP for reaching 1,500 CP overall
      • 100,000 SP for reaching 2,250 CP overall

    Patch Notes For 2022-05-10.1

    Features & Changes

    Defect Fixes

    Features & Changes:

    Structures & Deployables:

    Upwell Structures have undergone two major updates to their reinforcement gameplay mechanics. FLEX Structures and NPC Structures remain unchanged in mechanics and gameplay.

    • For all Upwell Structures, the Damage Cap limit for Shields has effectively been removed through an increase of the limit.

      • The attribute in game is still visible as "Shield Damage Limit (per second)" but is now higher than the shield capacity of the structure.
      • This results in the ability to rapidly deplete the structures shields without the damage cap limiting incoming DPS.

    • For all Medium Upwell Structures, the Hull Reinforcement phase has been removed. This means that medium structures will have a maximum of 1 reinforcement cycle after a successful attack depleting the structures shields. After depletion of the Armor HP during its armor vulnerable phase, the structure will immediately enter the hull vulnerable phase and continue to sustain damage from an attacking fleet.

    The armor reinforcement timers have been updated to the following durations:

    Structure Size Wormholes Nullsec Lowsec Highsec
    Medium Defenders next chosen hour after 2.5 days ± 1.5 hours Defenders next chosen hour after 3.5 days ± 1.5 hours Defenders next chosen hour after 3.5 days ± 1.5 hours Defenders next chosen hour after 4.5 days ± 1.5 hours
    Large Defenders next chosen hour after 24 hours ± 3 hours Defenders next chosen hour after 24 hours ± 3 hours Defenders next chosen hour after 24 hours ± 3 hours Defenders next chosen hour after 24 hours ± 3 hours
    FLEX N/A None N/A N/A
    • War HQ structures have a hull timer of 24 hours. For medium structures, this rule is applied to the armor timer instead.

    The hull reinforcement timers have been updated to the following durations:

    Structure Size Wormholes Nullsec Lowsec Highsec
    Medium None None None None
    Large Defenders next chosen hour after 1.5 days ± 3 hours Defenders next chosen hour after 2.5 days ± 3 hours Defenders next chosen hour after 2.5 days ± 3 hours Defenders next chosen hour after 4.5 days ± 3 hours
    FLEX N/A Defenders next chosen hour after 30 minutes ± 30 minutes N/A N/A

    Developer Comment:

    🤝 After inviting players to discuss the upcoming changes for the Siege Green update, we've added an additional 24 hours onto the reinforcement time for medium structures in Wormholes, Pochven, Low-Sec, and Null-Sec. We have also heard your feedback on the 'jitter' randomness of the end result of the vulnerable window and we're reducing the random jitter time from +/- 3 hours down to +/- 1.5 hours for the medium structure armor reinforcement timer.

    Hitpoint values of Upwell Structures have been adjusted by the following values:

    • All Medium Upwell Structures have received 100% more Shield Hitpoints.
    Structure Name Shield Hitpoints
    Astrahus 3,600,000 (previously 1,800,000)

    Patch Notes For 2022-05-06.1

    Features & Changes:

    Events:

    The mysterious figure known only as "The Deathless" has broadcast a message to Capsuleers across New Eden challenging them to side with his smuggling organization against CONCORD, and has shared the information required to find CONCORD-occupied sites in all areas of space.

    • After Capsuleers drove the smugglers from some of their strongholds across New Eden, CONCORD's infamous Special Affairs for Regulations and Order (SARO) division has taken residence within these complexes for their own purposes. The Deathless and the smugglers are offering to reward Capsuleers who attack these locations and drive away the SARO forces.
      • Confiscated Smuggler Hideout combat sites are appearing all over New Eden. These sites can be found using your ship's built-in anomaly scanner. The acceleration gate used to enter these sites will only allow access to ships of Battlecruiser size or lower, so CONCORD advises bringing a Combat Battlecruiser to defeat the hostiles inside. Faction Cruisers, Heavy Assault Cruisers, Strategic Cruisers, and Command Ships are also excellent options when available.
      • Rare and valuable Confiscated Smuggler Stargate sites can be found all across lowsec space. These more difficult combat sites can also be found using the anomaly scanner and have the same ship restrictions as the hideouts. Bringing a friend to help will make overcoming the numerous hostile SARO ships in these sites much more manageable.
      • Concord Mobile Impound Lot hacking sites can also be found all over New Eden. These sites can be found using scanner probes and a data analyzer module will be required in order to liberate the valuable loot inside.
      • Concord Mobile Impound Storage hacking sites can be found in lowsec space, providing increased rewards along with tougher hacking challenges.

    A new agency challenge track has become available, giving Capsuleers the option of receiving rewards for attacking SARO instead of attacking the smugglers. Each Capsuleer can now make a choice between the CONCORD challenges and the Smuggler challenges when they log on and open the Encounters section of the Agency. If you have already completed challenges from the CONCORD side you can freely choose to continue that track or switch to the Smuggler side for the duration of this event.

    • Capsuleers will not be penalized for shooting both sides in this event, but only one side's agency challenge track can be selected from this point onwards.

    The first of Capsuleer Day Abyssal Proving Grounds events has begun!

    • This is a team event, welcoming teams of two Navy Frigates.
    • Allowed ship types are the Imperial Navy Slicer, Caldari Navy Hookbill, Federation Navy Comet, Republic Fleet Firetail, Crucifier Navy Issue, Griffin Navy Issue, Maulus Navy Issue, and Vigil Fleet Issue.
    • Fleets entering this proving ground can include a maximum of one vessel of any single ship type.
    • All ships within this proving ground will receive a special capsuleer day bonus that increases turret and missile damage by 19%, increases ship velocity by 19%, increases sensor strength by 19%, and reduces ship signature radius by 19%.
    • During this Proving Ground event, the arena environment will contain large numbers of Buff and Debuff Nexus objects that will explode and apply various 19% weapon and mobility buffs or debuffs respectively when approached by capsuleer ships.
    • Sensor dampeners, weapon disruptors, shield boost amplifiers, shield rechargers, shield power relays, shield flux coils, and core defense field purgers are banned in this proving format.
    • Ships entering this proving ground may have a maximum of one local repair module fitted (shield or armor).
    • During this proving ground event, the Triglavian Cladistic Caches available to the winners of each proving match will contain roughly twice as many Triglavian Survey Data as usual.

    The Capsuleer Day XIX event has begun! This celebration of EVE Online's 19th birthday runs from today until downtime on May 24th.

    • CONCORD has declassified their files on a major cluster-wide smuggling ring, including information on how to find the smuggler hideouts, dead drop locations, and hidden stargates. They are requesting capsuleer assistance in hunting down these criminals and bringing them to justice!
    • Smuggler Hideout combat sites are appearing all over New Eden. These sites can be found using your ship's built-in anomaly scanner. The acceleration gate used to enter these sites will only allow access to ships of Battlecruiser size or lower, so CONCORD advises bringing a Combat Battlecruiser to defeat the hostiles inside. Faction Cruisers, Heavy Assault Cruisers, Strategic Cruisers, and Command Ships are also excellent options when available.

    Until May 24th a special set of Capsuleer Day celebration login rewards will be available for logging in each day. Rewards include new SKINs, up to 450k skillpoints, limited time combat boosters, and a set of Society of Conscious Thought starship hulls: the Apotheosis Shuttle, Sunesis Destroyer, Gnosis Battlecruiser, and Praxis Battleship!

    Special Capsuleer Day themed Abyssal Proving Grounds events will run from May 6th to 9th and from May 20th to 23rd. The format of the first event is 2v2 Navy Frigates, and the second event is a 4 player Sunesis FFA.

    • All ships within both proving ground evens will receive a special capsuleer day bonus that increases turret and missile damage by 19%, increases ship velocity by 19%, increases sensor strength by 19%, and reduces ship signature radius by 19%.
    • Additionally, the arena environment will contain large numbers of Buff and Debuff Nexus objects that will explode and apply various 19% weapon and mobility buffs or debuffs respectively when approached by capsuleer ships.

    Patch Notes For 2022-04-07.1

    Features & Changes:

    Events:

    The Hunt Event has begun! This Guristas themed event will run until downtime on April 19th.

    • Colorful Mysterious Capsules can be found all across New Eden warping between celestial objects such as planets, moons, asteroid belts, suns, and stargates.

      • The capsules can be found using the directional scanner or using combat scanner probes.
      • Destroying these mysterious capsules will provide you with acceleration gate keys that are required to reach the final areas of the event hacking and combat sites.
      • Keep an eye out for the elusive Mysterious Golden Capsules which contain extra loot including valuable stolen research data and exclusive event trinkets.

    • Guristas Hunt Outpost combat sites are appearing all over New Eden. These sites can be found using the anomaly scanner and may only be entered by T1, Faction, and T2 Frigates and Destroyers.

    • Hunt Data Relay hacking sites can also be found all over New Eden. These sites can be found using scanner probes and a data analyzer module will be required in order to collect the valuable loot inside.

    • Special Huntmaster versions of both the combat and hacking sites can be found exclusively within Caldari lowsec space and the Venal nullsec region. These Huntmaster sites are more difficult and much more lucrative than the standard event sites.

    • Encounters with dangerous Guristas Caiman-class vessels have been reported around newly discovered Guristas Capital Forges in Caldari lowsec space and the Venal region.

    • Loot available in the Hunt event sites include Overseer's Effects, skins, clothing, Guristas faction modules, limited time Hunt combat boosters and cerebral accelerators, rare "C3-" ballistic control systems, 'Valdimar' drone implants, "Hydra" pirate implants, as well as blueprints and meterials to manufacture the legendary "Gecko" superheavy combat drone.

    • During the Hunt event an agency challenge track will be active, with points awarded for defeating Hunt combat anomalies and hacking signatures, as well as for hunting down the mysterious capsules.

    • For the duration of the Hunt event, player capsules will have a chance to drop their implants as loot when destroyed.

    • A new Guristas landmark site can now be found moving from system to system within the Venal region. You will need scan probes to track down this elusive shipyard.

    • Until April 19th a special set of Hunt login rewards will be available for logging in each day. Rewards include new SKINs, up to 120k skillpoints, and new limited time combat boosters.

    • A special Hunt themed Abyssal Proving Grounds event will run from April 15th to 18th. The format of this event is 1v1 Assault Frigates with a special Guristas-themed bonus providing 10% more Kinetic and Thermal missile damage.

    Technical:

    Behind-the-scenes, an important refactor has been made on how Jump Harmonics works. The overall gameplay experience for using Jump Portals and Conduit Jumps remains the same for all players with no impact expected. This work has been made so that we now have unlocked more potential in the future for different combinations of jumps between ships and cynosural beacons, including the introduction of the Rorqual's Conduit Jump ability.

    • The attribute 'jumpHarmonics' is now deprecated and will be removed in a future update, you may notice several new attributes on ships and modules were introduced.

    Audio

    • Engine sounds are now organized into 7 categories based on physical ship size - each with unique engine implementation for boosters, afterburner, microwarpdrive and warp. (before there were only 4 sizes)
    • Allowing a player to hear the warp drive sounds of third parties in the case of a third party warping in next to the player, warping out in proximity to the player, or during fleet warps. (Before this, it was only possible to hear third party ship's booster, microwarpdrive, or afterburner - not their warp drive)
    • Improvements to balancing and timing of all engine sounds.
    • Added more variation to all engine sounds.
    • Player hitting "Stop Ship" now has audio.
    • New music has been added in preparation for the upcoming Guristas Hunt Event.


    User Interface:

    • Changed the PLEX icons on various locations in the game and in the New Eden Store.
    • Introducing the Feature Preview system, allowing players to opt-in and engage with complex features still undergoing active development, accessible via the Setting Menu.
    • A new opt-in renovation of the UI available via Feature Previews: the Photon UI project aims to create a unified style for EVE Online's user interface.
    • The "Industrial" group of ship classes has been renamed to "Hauler"
      • Skills for "Amarr Industrial", "Caldari Industrial", and so on have been renamed to "Amarr Hauler", "Caldari Hauler", etc.
      • Various small changes have been made to ship and skill descriptions, and other texts to reflect this change.
      • A number of NPC ships have been updated to reflect the change.

    Developer Comment:

    This change has been made to remove one use for the overloaded term "industrial" in EVE, and reduce confusion over the use and application of modules such as the Industrial Cynosural Beacon I and Industrial Jump Portal Generator I



    Defect Fixes:
