    Rendezvous Point +500 +2000

    Salutations,

    Initial Release Date: 2022-11-08 Last update: 2022-11-24

    RELEASES:    2022-11-08.1 |    2022-11-09.1 |    2022-11-10.1 |    2022-11-15.1 |    2022-11-17.1 | 2022-11-22.1 |    2022-11-24.1 |    2022-11-25.1 |

    Before you read the patch notes we highly suggest you read the release news item first.



    Table of Contents



    01-820x180



    Empires at War

    The new Frontlines feature in Factional Warfare (FW) is now live, drawing pilots closer to the borders of their opponents and presenting new rewarding challenges that focus capsuleer efforts towards key, emerging conflicts where empire history will be written!

    Frontlines

    Systems in a FW warzone can have different operational states which are designated as follows:

    Frontline - adjacent to an enemy-controlled star system, the absolute heart of the battle, and the highest level of reward.

    Command Operations - adjacent to a Frontline system, vital for strategic supremacy with standard LP rewards.

    Rearguard - when none of the above apply, a relative safe zone in the maelstrom.

    Frontlines Map

    02-820x508

    With this update we are adding a new way to visualize the Warzone. With representation of where you can find the frontlines and clear data showing the status of contested systems.

    Suprise attack!

    820x180

    The map isn't the only thing that will be changing in the Warzone! The Gallente have launched a massive surprise assault on Intaki and its surrounding systems.

    The systems of:

    • Intaki
    • Vey
    • Brarel
    • Annancale
    • Agoze
    • Ostingele
    • Harroule
    • Dastryns
    • Uphallant
    • Iges
    • Covryn

    are now held by the Gallente and have been removed from the Factional Warfare system.

    Advantage System

    820x180advantage

    The new Advantage system allows you to give your chosen faction an edge in FW. This edge can be achieved by obtaining a terrain advantage through ownership of adjacent Frontline and Command Operations star systems, through the completion of activities and sites in the FW warzone, and by deploying anchorable structures. The more involved and victorious your faction is in the warzone, the greater the effect will be on your side’s victory points.

    To view a system’s current Advantage, you can navigate to the right-hand side of the FW window when you select a system on the FW map.

    Propaganda Billboard

    • A deployable structure that will serve to demoralize your opposing faction, upon completion of the structure, Advantage will be added to aid you in capturing of their system.

    Listening Outposts

    • A deployable structure used to crack transmission frequencies that once completed will remove advantage from the opposing faction.

    Supply Cache/Depot

    • In-space quick supply depots for the opposing faction that if destroyed will remove advantage from the opposing faction.

    Rendezvous Point

    • Soloable Rendezvous points allow players to engage with the warzone by intercepting NPC combatants. Upon destroying the commander of the fleet, Advantage will be awarded.

    Operation Center

    • Hacking/Exploration site that will provide the players with valuable codes to build Propaganda Billboards and Listening Outposts.

    Reward Rebalance

    820x180reward

    We have increased the amount of Loyalty Points awarded, specifically focused on Frontlines having the largest pay outs to encourage players to engage in a more concentrated area of the warzone.

    • Frontline systems grant 150% of generated Loyalty Points as rewards.
    • Command Operations systems grant 100% of generated Loyalty Points as rewards.
    • Rearguard Systems grant 50% of generated Loyalty Points as rewards.

    We have removed the reward tiers for FW captured systems to make the generation of LP fairer for everyone, and remove the positive feedback loop that was incentivizing Empire swapping.

    Adding More Group Content

    In the current paradigm, Factional Warfare complexes discourage group play as the payout for additional militia members in a site divides the reward pool, which is inelastic. By adding elastic rewards, up to a certain limit for certain sites we can create a space where players are naturally drawn to group up with other friendly players.

    We also want to avoid encouraging super-sized 'swarm' fleets, and so we can tune these Complex rewards to around 5 characters. 5 characters is also a decent number because it is a difficult number of accounts to manage for a single player, limiting the effectiveness of such multiboxing in combat to encourage players enter these sites and act as a group when available, the LP value would be an additional 25% over the 'solo' version of the complex.

    Not all ships are equal Victory Points!

    820x180 s

    We have limited access to FW Complexes to make them more granular, tweaking the paradigm to prevent pirate faction ships from dominating "Novice Complexes". We have also reviewed and updated the access restrictions to complexes overall.

    When it comes to determining Victory Points gained for ship destruction Pirate and Navy faction ships will be treated as separate classes. For example, a worm will not be considered T1. Triglavian and EDENCOM ships will also be included in the "Pirate Faction" category, as it most closely matches their power scaling. For example, a Leshak will yield a higher reward value than a Tempest.

    Site Naming Schema

    We need to effectively communicate expectations; the site names should follow a predictable pattern in which you can learn to rapidly identify the restrictions of a site based on its name. The standard is as follows:

    [Rank / Size] + [ADV / NVY] + "-"[Number] OR [Open Complex]

    Rank / Size - Indicates the size of ships allowed into the site.

    Example: Amarr Medium NVY-5

    • Scout - Frigates and smaller
    • Small - Destroyers and smaller
    • Medium - Cruisers and smaller
    • Large - Battleships and smaller
    • NVY - Short for "Navy". Indicates site only allows T1 and Navy ships to enter, no pirate faction, T2, or T3.
    • ADV - Short for "Advanced". Indicates site allows T2 and Pirate Faction ships.
    • Number - This number indicates the number of characters the site reward scales to.
    • Open Complex - This is an open site, A site without restrictions or an acceleration gate

    Update to Upwell Structures Docking Rules in Factional Warfare

    820x180 tether

    Structures broke the paradigm of risk for factional warfare systems, as previously only the controllers of the system were able to take advantage of the stations. With Citadels, enemy militia could previously safely dock up in enemy space. We are solving this with these new measures.

    The following rules apply to both stations and player-owned citadels in the warzone.

    Frontline Systems

    • Players are able to dock, undock and tether in any ship regardless of faction alignment.
    • Assuming they would have access to dock / tether via ACLs for player owned structures.

    Command Operations & Rearguard

    • Enemy militia cannot tether except in capsules.
    • Enemy militia cannot dock except in capsules.
    • Enemy militia cannot undock from the structure - except for capsules.
    • Friendly militia and unaligned players can dock and tether freely.

    Events

    To Celebrate the launch of Uprising a special set of login rewards are available each day that players log into the game for the first 9 days after the expansion launches. These rewards include up to 425,000 SP for Omega players, and SKINs for navy frigates and the new navy battlecruisers!



    New Navy Ships

    03-820x255

    We have introduced new Navy ship lines into the game as part of the expansion. Navy Exploration Frigates, Navy Battlecruisers, Navy Destroyers and Navy Dreadnaughts.

    All these ships come with a strict upgrade to the tech 1 counterpart as well as some new improved audio. In addition, the New Navy Destroyers and Dreadnaughts have upgraded hulls to stand out on the battlefield.

    Heavy Assault Cruiser Rebalance

    04-820x180

    When approaching the subject of HACs in the current meta, we looked at addressing these 4 goals:

    3. Not nerf HACs into oblivion - find and retain healthy use-cases.

    Security Status Changes

    In this update we are adding the first part of the changes as described extensively in a Dev blog for these changes.

    • Outlaws which are characters with -5.0 and lower security status are no longer permitted to dock in High Security stations and structures while in ships.
    • Alpha clone state characters can no longer change their safety setting to Red.
    • It is no longer possible to run any Abyssal sites in 1.0 or 0.9 security spaces, including Jita or any of the other trade hubs.

    Abyssal Deadspace Changes

    Suspect flags returns for high-tier Abyssal Deadspace sites based on security of the system which the site is being run in. You will gain suspect status upon completing the Abyssal Deadspace site.

    Security Tier (no suspect flag) Tier (suspect flag)
    1.0 - -
    0.9 - -
    0.8 T0, T1, T2, T3 T4, T5, T6
    0.7 T0, T1, T2, T3, T4 T5, T6
    0.6 T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 T6
    0.5 T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 -

    Upwell Structure Hangar visuals

    820x180 hangar

    We have added massive enhancements to Upwell hangars that will ramp up the audio and visual immersion while docked in these structures.

    This also includes a new docking and undocking animation that takes the same amount of time to perform as it did prior to this update.

    • Cancelling undocking will sometimes make your ship perform a 360 and park in the same spot you took off from. A new way to ship spin, for the absolute best.

    Graphics

    06-820x180

    AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 1.0 is now supported in EVE. This can be very beneficial on higher resolution screens like those that run on 4K, or when used with an older GPU.

    • This gives an increase in frame rate by upscaling a lower resolution version of the game, while preserving as much detail as possible.
    • It can be found in the settings menu inside 'Display & Graphics' → 'Graphic Content Settings' → AMD FSR 1.0.
    • It works on AMD, Nvidia, Intel and Apple M1 based graphics cards.

    A new 'Ambient Occlusion' setting has been added to graphic settings page, as we now calculate “AO” in real time.

    • Having it enabled Improves shading and rendering techniques which increase the visual impact of all graphical assets.
    • Setting this too high on older graphics cards can have a significant impact on performance.

    We have also made visual updates to a few selected ships:

    • The Phoenix has received a visual update.
    • All Tech 1 and Tech 2 variants of Destroyers have received a visual update.
    • We have added a new Amarr Navy pattern.

    Audio

    Updated sound effects for outbursts and impacts for most turret weapons. Every sound outburst now has a distinct feel to it that makes it easier to audibly distinguish between weapons.

    • Beam

    • Pulse

    • Blaster

    • Railgun

    • Artillery

    • Auto Cannon

    • Uprising comes with all new login music.



    New Player Experience

    • Clarified and expanded upon written instructions found throughout the Career Agent missions.

    • Adjusted items received in various Career Agent missions:

      • An 'Overdrive Injector System I' is now given on acceptance rather than completion of the eighth Enforcer mission.
      • An Incursus will now be given instead of a Tristan when accepting the Gallente version of the tenth Enforcer mission.

    Patch Notes For 2022-10-20.1

    Features & Changes:

    Events:

    The Crimson Harvest has begun! This Blood Raiders themed event runs until downtime on the 1st of November.

    • Limited time combat and hacking sites are appearing all over Highsec, Lowsec, Nullsec, and W-space, belonging to the opposing forces of the Blood Raider Covenant and the Order of St Tetrimon.
    • Crimson Gauntlet and Tetrimon Base combat sites can be found in most areas of space. These sites should be approached with caution, and capsuleers are advised to fly a battlecruiser, battleship, heavy assault cruiser, or even more powerful vessels if they wish to investigate these locations. Rewards for looting the battleship NPCs found at the end of the sites include items that can be traded for isk, skins, boosters, clothing and more!
    • Crimson Harvest Network Node and Tetrimon Network Node data sites are also appearing across New Eden. These hacking sites contain network node structures that can be accessed for more great rewards!
    • The Blood Raiders are capitalizing on the chaos erupting from the intense fighting over the ownership and research of the Stellar Harvesters, and are setting up more advanced bases in the warzone, Tetrimon loyalists are also deploying in the area to match their forces.
      • These advanced versions of the combat and hacking sites can only be found within the areas containing the most heated fighting between Blood Raider and Tetrimon forces: the Blood Raider controlled systems within the Delve region and within the Eugidi, Angils and Hed constellations. These advanced sites are rarer and more challenging than the standard versions of the sites but they provide much greater rewards. Bringing a friend or two helps reduce the risk immensely, but beware of other capsuleers who may be searching for the same loot!
    • The most elusive and valuable strongholds of the Blood Raiders and Order of Tetrimon can only be found by obtaining a rare escalation from the advanced combat sites.
    • Be on the the lookout for Blood Raider Altars! These highly dangerous, brand new capital sites are designed for a dreadnought or a fleet of multiple capsuleers to complete.

    Both the Blood Raiders and the Order of Tetrimon are willing to reward capsuleers who attack their foes. Each character can choose between two options for the Agency challenges and reward track for this event. You will receive points for shooting the opposing side to the one you choose in the agency, and you will receive a reward track themed around your chosen faction. Be aware that although you will only receive agency challenges and points for shooting the opposing side to the one you chose, there is no penalty for shooting both sides and taking the loot from both their sites.

    • During the Crimson Harvest a special set of login rewards are available each day that players log into the game. These rewards include new skins, new fireworks, new limited time boosters, and hundreds of thousands of skill points!
    • Trick or Treat! During the Crimson Harvest all player ship explosions will have an increased loot drop rate, with an average of 90% compared the normal average of 50%. Player wreck icons have also changed to reflect the season.
    • A special Crimson Harvest themed Abyssal Proving Ground will start on the 28th of October and runs until the 31st of October. This event features a 4-player T1 Frigate, Meta 0 Free-For-All format, with a special set of bonuses to webifier range, energy warfare strength and turret damage that lets every frigate harness the power of a Blood Raider ship!

    • Prove yourself in PVP combat this weekend with a special 24 hour Totality Day 1v1 Kikimora proving ground event that starts at downtime on October 15th and ends at downtime on October 16th. Pilots within this proving ground will receive bonuses to turret damage, hitpoints, and overheating effectiveness. A special repeatable challenge will provide competitors 10 million ISK for each match where they deal at least 2000 damage to their opponent, win or lose!

    Universe:

    • Thanks to the successful effort and organization of Caldari-aligned pilots participating in the ongoing Faction Campaign, a new stargate connection has been constructed between the Samanuni and Athounon systems.

      • Although the Caldari stargate has been completed, for the next several weeks the State will continue paying loyalty tokens to Capsuleers who return Dense Polycrase ore to their processing facility beside the new stargate in Athounon.
      • The stargate construction event is ongoing and Gallente pilots still have time to complete their goal!

    • The Caldari State and Gallente Federation have continued their buildup of vast military infrastructure within the Samanuni and Amygnon systems respectively. As part of this buildup, new Navy Anchorage stations have been opened for Capsuleer use above the planets of Samanuni VI and Amygnon III. These new stations do not yet have their industry or capsuleer corporate office facilities online yet, but those facilities will come as the last elements of construction in and around the station completes.

    Patch Notes For 2022-10-11.1

    Features & Changes

    Defect Fixes

    Features & Changes:

    Events:

    A new faction campaign has launched: The Gallente Federation and Caldari State are both attempting to develop new technology derived from the Triglavian occupied storm planet of Athounon V, as well as from mysterious Triglavian Relay Caches which have started appearing in the Serthoulde constellation.

    • Control of the system of Athounon will provide research points to the faction currently occupying it through factional warfare.
    • Players can find these sites using scanner probes in the Serthoulde constellation, although be wary, as soon as a player warps to a captured relay data site they will become visible on the overview to all capsuleers in the system!
    • The Triglavian Relay data sites will only allow Tech 1, Navy and Pirate frigates to enter, and will belong to the faction that currently controls the system through factional warfare occupancy. The owning faction will have NPC guards that will attack any capsuleer not aligned to their militia, additionally, neutral players not in factional warfare will receive a suspect timer if they enter the site. The valuable data containers housed within the site contain coveted encrypted Triglavian relay data and can be accessed with Data Analyzer modules.
    • Players can support the Caldari State by bringing the Encrypted Relay Data to their laboratory in the Samanuni System, and the Gallente Federation by bringing the data to their laboratory facility located in Amygnon. Players will be rewarded by each faction with loyalty tokens for doing so.


    Ships:

    • 🤝 Ship Maintenance Array restrictions have been adjusted and relaxed to improve quality of life.

      • Players can now store ships which contain deployables, modules, rigs and mobile warp disruptors.
      • This change also applies to the Frigate Escape Bay of Battleships.
      • Your escape frigate can now have items like mobile depots, cloaks, probe launchers, and other options inside!

    • 🤝All Battleships that had an assembled volume above 470,000m3 have been reduced to 470,000m3.

      • This means that Carriers, Dreadnoughts and FAXs can always hold 2 Battleships, and 2 Frigates in the bay.


    Localization:

    • Added localized client text in Russian, French, German, Japanese, and Korean.
    • 🤝Added more types and descriptions have been translated to Spanish client.

    Market:

    • The Salvage Drone Specialization skill is now available at all empire NPC school stations for 10 million ISK.

    Modules:

    • The ML-EKP 'Polybolos' Ballistic Control System now has a meta level of 8.

    Missions & NPCs:

    • Alexander Ducasse is now the CEO of the Interbus Corporation.


    Technical:

    • After 2 mass tests and lots of player feedback, we have released the new sound prioritization engine for EVE Online! This update dramatically reduces the CPU used by audio in EVE and makes the soundscape much clearer, especially in fleet fights. A special thank you to everyone who joined a mass test and gave us feedback. You can find more information in the devblog here.


    • EVE Online now natively supports Variable Refresh Rates! If you have a Freesync or G-Sync capable system, then it will be automatically enabled. This update also resolves issues that caused EVE to have problems with V-sync being disabled, due to the OS and some graphic card control panels forcing it to be enabled. You can find more information in the devblog here.


    • There has been major refactoring in how we handle controllers for ships, which improves performance. This is most noticeable when many ships are rendered at the same time, like in fleet fights. The memory usage of the client is also significantly improved in these cases. Our internal testing with 1000 ships in our "Cube of Death" scene has an approximate 1.5GB RAM reduction. We’ve also improved how long it takes for the client to load and unload ships, which gives a smoother gameplay experience.


    • Removed the "Resource Cache" option from settings, as it now defaults to being enabled for all players. It has been set to "enabled on" on new installs for a long time, as it can give a much better experience with very little extra RAM being used.


    • Renamed "Interval" setting to "V-Sync On / Off", because we should totally use the same terminology as every other game. The options for different "Intervals" have also been removed, as these often misbehaved and could cause problems with Variable Refresh Rate environments.


    User Interface:

    • Photon UI is entering its Beta phase by going opt-out. This vital step will help collect data on what works and what doesn't, meaning that Photon UI can become the best version of itself. You can still opt out for now, but please do share your reasoning for doing so on the EVE forums to help everyone!
    • As part of Photon UI's style unification, the NeoCom has now been converted over into the Photon design language, with improvements to layout and notifications.
    • Added the ability to set a shortcut key for the Frigate Escape Bay in the main menu.


    Defect Fixes:

    Audio:

    • The sound for locking a target is now playing again each time.
    • Sounds in character creation are now playing again reliably.

    Gameplay:

    • Fixed a defect which prevented the additional sleeper waves from spawning in Class 4 Relic and Data sites in wormhole space.
    • Fixed a defect which caused some LowSec combat hacking data sites to not despawn correctly.
    • Fixed an issue with containers jettisoned across grid borders causing items not being removed correctly from inventory.
    • NPC Mining Operations (Diamond Rat NPC Miners) will no longer mine Polycrase and Moissanite ore.

    Graphics:

    • Chat windows are no longer breaking in localized clients, when the localization setting for "Important Names" is being changed.

    New Player Experience:

    • Mining Upgrades module will now be highlighted when told to online it in the AIR NPE.

    • Corrected various text issues in Enforcer Career Agent missions.
    • Set Destination button highlights will no longer linger during Enforcer Career Agent missions.
    • Training Containers in hacking tutorial sites have had their reset timer increased to 60 seconds.

    Technical:

    • Improved the frame rate during the death scene.
    • Cleaned up various log error spam.

    User Interface:

    • Update Prophecy Navy Issue traits tab to correctly reflect Ship Bonuses.
    • You can now resize the Edit Alliance window.
    • The little checkbox icons in the Probe Scanner filter menu no longer block the filter from being toggled when clicked.
    • Restoring a window stack that's being minimized no longer prevents the stack from being properly restored again.

    Air Career Program:

    • "Deliver the final blow" objective in the Air Career Program now correctly counts progress to character with the final blow instead of top damage.
    • The Claim Reward button for the Air Career Program does no longer stay on the screen after reward has been claimed.
    • "Killing 75 enemies with a Destroyer" in the Air Career Program will now correctly count progress for Commander and Tactical Destroyers.

    Photon UI:

    • The Solar System Map button in the Probe Scanner and Directional Scanner windows now use the same icon.
    • The Launch button for the Drones in Bay group in the Drones window no longer overlaps the window top-right menu while in compact mode.
    • The description field in the Edit Alliance window no longer overflows the window.
