  Missions & NPCs:

  • The next chapter of the Triglavian Invasion will unfold over the coming months.
  • Removed mining asteroids from non-mining, Combat Anomalies and Mission sites.

  Ships:

  • Some of the attributes of the Council Diplomatic Shuttle have been adjusted:
    • Hull Hitpoints: 50 (+26)
    • Shield Hitpoints: 300 (-50)
    • Shield and Armor resistances unified to 33% for all resistance types
    • Signature Radius: 20 (-5)

  Structures & Deployables:

  • Significant changes to structure gameplay, as previously announced via dev blog are live. Structures now have a new third power state "Abandoned", in addition to Full Power and Low Power. Structures that do not consume fuel for an extended period will become Abandoned. Whilst in an Abandoned state a structure will be quicker to destroy and will also drop much more loot.
    • When a structure has no online service modules it will be Low Power. This starts a (hidden) 7-8 day timer. If the timer completes without any service modules being online then the structure will be Abandoned. If the owner onlines a service module at any time, the structure will immediately begin consuming fuel and become Full Power again.
    • An abandoned structure suffers from some major drawbacks:
    • It will skip the Hull Reinforcement phase. This means it has no reinforcement cycles at all, and can be destroyed in a single attack session. (Damage caps will continue to apply as normal. Normal war-dec/CONCORD rules continue to apply)
    • It does not have any tethering capability at all.
    • If it explodes, an abandoned structure will not push any items into asset safety whatsoever. All assets located the structure are eligible to drop as loot. (This will be the same behaviour as a current wormhole structure)
      • Note that as long as the structure is still in space, you can still manually push your assets into asset safety as normal.
      • When a structure is close to becoming abandoned, all characters/corporations with assets in the structure will receive a notification that their assets are potentially at risk.
      • Unanchoring an abandoned structure will push all assets into asset safety as normal. The loot drop only applies to exploding abandoned structures.
    • The five faction citadels introduced as replacements for Outposts and Conquerable Stations (Moreau, Draccous, Horizon, Marginis, and Prometheus fortizars) are exempt from the asset safety penalty, because they have a special bonus meaning that they will never transition to Abandoned. These citadels can remain in a Low Power state indefinitely.
    • The Structure Browser window lists a corporation's own structures. This will now include an indication of which structures are Low Power and which are Abandoned.
    • The Asset Browser window will highlight any structures containing your personal assets which are currently Low Power or Abandoned. You are advised to consider pushing your assets in Abandoned structures into asset safety, as otherwise they are at risk of sudden loss.
  • When a structure is forced into Low Power mode as a result of entering a Hull Repair/Reinforcement cycle, it will now internally remember which service modules were online at the time. If it survives and returns to full health, it will automatically make an attempt to re-online those service modules (provided that it has sufficient fuel to cover the onlining cost).
  • All these changes apply equally to FLEX structures as well as regular structures. So for example, Jump Bridges and Cyno Jammer/Beacon structures will automatically re-online their service modules, and thus re-enable their specific functionalities, after surviving an attack.
  • Structures that are Low Power on patch day will begin their 7-8 day countdown as soon as the server is restarted.

  User Interface:

  • Updated text on the Character Creation.
  • Improved navigation bar on the Character Creation to be more clear.
  • Replaced Slave Child ancestry icon with Liberated Children ancestry.
  • Improved "Randomize my name" field on the Character Creation to be more distinct.
  • Removed Portrait Screen from the Character Creation.
  • Removed screenshot confirmation from Customization.
  • Added warning for leaving starter system when Tutorial is on.
  • Added Highlight in Fitting Window when mousing over module, the slots where it fits are highlighted.
  • Added a Market History tab that will show the history of successful, expired, or cancelled orders.
  • Users will now be able to explain why they have pressed the thumbs down button when in the Settings menu, a popup will appear offering people to explain why they didn't like playing EVE that day.

  Market:

  • Significant changes to the fees for updating market orders have been implemented as described in Broker Relations devblog.
    • Updated all existing "Market Tax" structure ACL settings to a new mandatory minimum of 1%
    • When charging fees for creating/modifying an order in an Upwell structure, half of the fee will go to the structure owner the other half will go to an NPC as an ISK sink
    • When creating/updating a market order, the price will now always be rounded to a tick level with a maximum of 4 significant figures
    • When modifying a market order the fee now includes an extra "Relist Fee" component, which is dependent on the new order price (not just the difference between new and old prices):
    • FORMULA:
    • BR is the character's effective Broker Fee rate at the station/structure (factoring in skills/standing/settings as appropriate)
    • RD is the character's Relist Discount rate (factoring in Advanced Broker Relations skill)
    • Fee to create a new order at price P (this is unchanged):
    • Fee = BR * price
    • Fee to modify an existing order, changing price from P1 to P2:
    • Fee = max(0, BR (P2 - P1)) + (1 - RD) BR * P2
  • The Margin Trading skill has changed its name and function. It is now called "Advanced Broker Relations". This skill will increase the Relist Discount rate, from 50% at level 0 (untrained) to 75% at level 5.
    • The skill rank is unchanged (rank 3). An additional requirement of Broker Relations level 4 has been added. Characters who already have Advanced Broker Relations but do not have this new requirement will still be able to train and use Advanced Broker Relations.
    • The skill no longer allows Want-To-Buy orders to be created with anything less than 100% escrow. Existing <100% escrow orders will remain until they expire/complete, but they cannot be created/extended any more.
