    Patch Notes For 2020-12-10.1 - Winter Nexus

    Features & Changes

    The Winter Nexus event has begun! This in-game event will run until downtime on 5 January 2021.

    • Volatile Ice Storms have begun to appear across highsec, lowsec, and nullsec space. These ice storms spread out across the stargate network from a central system, and occasionally move from system to system just like the existing 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, rare faction modules. The sites within the storms that originate within lowsec space have a chance of providing blueprints for the new "Rapture" capacitor regeneration pirate implant set.
    • New 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 and Brainfreeze cerebral accelerators.
    • A new set of daily login gifts are available over the course of the Winter Nexus event. Players can receive all of these rewards by logging in at least 13 days between now and January 5th.

    Implants:

    • The new Sansha's Nation Rapture implant set has been introduced. This implant set improves capacitor regeneration rates.
    • Blueprint copies for the Rapture implants will initially be available through loot drops from the combat, hacking, and ice mining sites within the Volatile Ice Storms that originate in low security space.
      • Low-grade Rapture Alpha: +2 Perception, 1% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 2.5% set bonus
      • Low-grade Rapture Beta: +2 Memory, 2% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 2.5% set bonus
      • Low-grade Rapture Gamma: +2 Willpower, 3% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 2.5% set bonus
      • Low-grade Rapture Delta: +2 Intelligence, 4% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 2.5% set bonus

      • High-grade Rapture Gamma: +4 Willpower, 3% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 15% set bonus
      • High-grade Rapture Delta: +4 Intelligence, 4% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 15% set bonus
      • High-grade Rapture Epsilon: +4 Charisma, 5% bonus to in capacitor regeneration speed with 15% set bonus
      • High-grade Rapture Omega 50% set bonus

    Defect Fixes

    Gameplay:

    • Temporarily disabling the PvP-timer reset for docked self destruct to address issue with jumping to medical clones; in-space pod-death will still clear the PvP-timer.

    Game Systems:

    Dynamic Bounty System - In Null Security Systems (High Security / Low Security / Wormhole / Triglavian systems excluded), system activity will now impact ratting payouts either positively or negatively. - This multiplier will always be visible via the Star Map so that you can locate high-value solar systems in which to hunt pirates. - This multiplier will be adjusting constantly based on what’s happening in the solar system: more ratting will drive bounties down, more Capsuleer loses will drive bounties up. - For more information, please read the Dynamic Bounty System Dev Blog.

    Encounter Surveillance System (ESS) Update - The ESS is no longer optional and will be present by default in all claimable Null Security Space. - The location of the ESS is public and sits behind an acceleration gate with specific ship class restrictions. - Payouts from the ESS happens automatically for contributors. - The new ESS will have a unique set of on-grid rules. These rules are in effect within a 75km radius around the structure, containing the following: - Warping is disabled. - Micro Jump Drives are disabled. - Micro Warp Drives are disabled. - Cloaking Devices are disabled. - Cynosural Field activations are disabled. - Filament activations are disabled. - Deployables are prevented from launching. - A percentage of bounties generated in the solar system will be delivered to the ESS Bank. The take will be split between two banks: - The Main Bank – This is where the majority of the money goes. It pays out automatically every 3 hours to contributors, but can be stolen from at any time. - The Reserve Bank – A smaller portion of each bounty is placed in the Reserve Bank where it sits until claimed; To claim the Reserve Bank, a consumable key is required to unlock it. These keys will be available via gameplay content at a later date. - For more information, please read the Encounter Surveillance System Dev Blog.

Each reclone event consumes 10 units of fuel. Fuel will be consumed from the fleet hangar and the cargo bay. - Wyvern: Nitrogen Fuel Block - Hel: Hydrogen Fuel Block - Aeon, Revenant: Helium Fuel Block - Nyx, Vendetta: Oxygen Fuel Block - Blueprints for the module can be found at the same stations that provide Clone Vat Bay blueprints

    Mechanics:

    In-space Recloning - Recloning allows fleet-mates to reclone directly in space in the event of capsule destruction, instead of waking up in a new medical clone at a station. - Recloning requires the the capsule pilot have a "Nanoheuristic Clone Mapper" implant injected, and that a fleet-mate Super Carrier pilot provides a recloning site with a active Tactical Capsuleer Recloner module. - On Capsule destruction, the Capsuleer will automatically reclone with a new capsule at the fleet's closest active Tactical Capsuleer Recloner within the same solar system. The new capsule will spawn with 60 seconds of temporary invulnerability. - Added a new tab "Active Recloners" to the fleet window that will show all fleet-mates providing recloning facilities

    Patch Notes For 2020-10-29.1

    Features & Changes

    Events:

    • The Crimson Harvest has begun! This spooky event will run until 11:00 UTC, 10 November.
      • New combat sites have begun appearing all over highsec, lowsec, nullsec, and wormhole space. Some of these sites belong to the Blood Raider Covenant, while others belong to the Amarr-aligned Shining Flame mercenary company that has deployed to oppose the Blood Raiders.
      • These combat sites are suitable for capsuleers flying battlecruisers and battleships, and the rewards for defeating them include ISK, new and returning ship SKINs, fireworks, crimson harvest apparel, blueprints for a new Blood Raider modified mobile tractor unit, powerful faction modules and implants, and limited-time cerebral accelerators!
      • More challenging and lucrative combat sites belonging to both belligerents can be found on the frontlines of the conflict: the lowsec systems within The Bleak Lands and Devoid regions, as well as the Blood Raider Covenant home constellations within the Delve region. These combat sites contain significantly greater rewards for those willing to brave more dangerous space.
      • Rumors suggest that there is a third jackpot site that can only be found through a rare escalation that can be triggered by destroying a communications relay structure within the hard versions of the Crimson Harvest combat sites.
    • Trick or Treat! During the Crimson Harvest event, the chance of items dropping as loot from destroyed capsuleer ships has been increased from its usual 50% to 90%. This loot chance change also applies to standard loot drops from structures (not including item drops from player hangars). The wreck icon has also been changed during this time period to a festive pumpkin.
    • Stay tuned tomorrow for the beginning of two more Crimson Harvest features: a set of daily login gifts and a special Crimson Harvest themed abyssal proving ground event!

    Miscellaneous:

    • The Blood Raiders are now purchasing Warclone Blanks at their stations within the Delve region.

    Structures & Deployables:

    • The Mobile Sanguine Harvester may now be constructed from blueprints found within Crimson Harvest combat sites. This modified Mobile Tractor Unit collects frozen corpses instead of wrecks and containers!

    All market orders for the affected modules will be removed, the modules and escrow will be returned to the character who created the order.

    Structures & Deployables:

    • Second phase of the Quantum Cores update is now live and all new structures must have a core inserted to complete the onlining process.


    Triglavian Invasion:

    • The Triglavian Invasion has come to an end. The Collective now inhabit 27 systems severed from the rest of New Eden, forming the new Nullsec Pochven region which can be accessed via wormholes and filaments. According to reliable sources some Triglavian vessels in the area may carry filaments for escaping this new region. Unconfirmed stories also state that these filaments are available for purchase in the new Triglavian stations. Active Market Orders and HyperNet Offers within Pochven have been cancelled and both goods and escrow have been refunded. In addition to that, Agents within Pochven have been removed and any active missions have been cancelled.
    • There is a lot to discover in these systems as they function completely differently now that the Triglavians have taken them over. More details will be reported by The Scope in the coming days. Until then, Capsuleers that dare to venture into the new Pochven region can discover things on their own. Since Medical Clones within Pochven have been moved to a character's birth Station, some capsuleers will need to travel to the systems to uncover the mysteries - the lucky (or unlucky) players already within those systems are free to undock - at their own risk.
