Patch Notes for 2025-05-06.1
Features & Changes:Wrath of Tyrannos:While New Eden factions maintain their occupation within wormhole space, Drifter forces attempt to open new fronts and strike back at the cluster! This escalation of the ongoing Nexus Reckoning event invites capsuleers to try out the previously wormhole-exclusive content while offering new rewards and increased opportunities!
The seasonal reward track has been expanded with new rewards!
A high-sec variant of the Labyrinth Complex site has emerged:
Earn keys that grant entry to the Wrath: Locus Point site.
Locate the secret Triglavian trader for additional rewards (including the exclusive Skybreaker Tyrantbreaker SKIN!)
Find tokens that can be redeemed for items at faction traders within either Drifter wormholes or the following systems:
Amarr, Pator, New Caldari, Raravoss, and Yulai.
Note: The best deals can still be found within the Drifter wormholes!
Like before, these sites are intended for groups as large as 10 in ships no larger than a T2 Battlecruiser.
The Wrath: Locus Point, a variant of the Nexus Point site, has begun appearing within Empire-controlled low-security space:
The longer your fleet holds against the Drifter onslaught, the greater the rewards!
Bring Amplifier and/or Limiter keys to augment the site’s level of challenge.
The truly bravest fleets may discover Officer modules within the wreckage!
These sites are intended for 15 characters and restricted to T2 Battlecruisers and below.
Respawn times for the following sites have been greatly reduced:
Reckoning: Sleeper Foundry
Reckoning: Drifter Stockpile
Reckoning: Sleeper Forge
Reckoning: Sleeper Reserve
The following sites can now also be found in null-security space:
Reckoning: Sleeper Foundry
Reckoning: Drifter Stockpile
Patch Notes for 2025-05-05.1

Patch Notes for 2025-04-16.1
Features & Changes:Graphics:Updated the visual effects of the older Drifter ships.
Patch Notes for 2025-04-15.1
Features & Changes:PvE:Capsuleer Day XXII: Nexus Reckoning is live! This in-game event runs until downtime on May 15th, 2025.
The Drifter Crisis is entering its final stages. In the aftermath of the Race for the Hives - where five factions secured control of Drifter wormholes - those same factions now call on capsuleers to help push their advantage against the Drifter threat.
This event features high-end fleet encounters within the now-occupied Drifter wormholes, alongside a variety of content outside them. Players can expect challenging group content designed for coordinated fleets as well as more accessible activities in line with the seasonal content capsuleers are familiar with.
The core gameplay loop revolves around engaging with sites outside the hives to gather materials and blueprints, which can be used to craft items that grant access to - and provide advantages within - the Drifter wormholes themselves.
A brand-new seasonal challenge track is now available in The Agency. Complete challenges by engaging with a variety of content, including high-end fleet encounters, solo combat and hacking sites, mining and manufacturing. Progress through the reward track to unlock exclusive Drifter-themed SKINs, SKINR components, PLEX and SOCT ships!
Daily login rewards are also active throughout the event! Log in each day to claim Drifter-themed SKINs and SKINR components, boosters, EverMarks, and up to 650,000 Skill Points. Make sure to log in daily from now until May 15th to collect them all!
All 5 Drifter wormholes are now under the control of a Race for the Hives winner. Their grip on these systems is tenuous, relying on the aid of capuleers to help put an end to the Drifter’s machinations. As control wanes, the presence of the Drifters increases. Keep the systems out of their hands at all costs!
Within the occupied systems, the Drifter Hive sites have been replaced with the Reckoning: Labyrinth Complex. Within these sites, a fleet must traverse a randomised path of increasingly difficult challenges to reach their goal. Only through the labyrinth can the nexus be accessed. Keep your eyes peeled and be prepared for some surprises! For those who wish to reach the deepest depths of the maze, a group of 10 pilots is recommended. Up to and including T2 Battlecruisers are permitted within.
The Reckoning: Nexus Point is the true test for those who wish to organise against the Drifter forces. While it promises great rewards to the well-prepared, the threats within may push capsuleers to their limits. A group of 15 pilots is recommended. Like the Labyrinth Complex, T2 Battlecruisers are the largest ship type permitted within this site.
Capsuleers can deliver items to occupation sites within Drifter wormhole systems in return for faction-based rewards!
New landmark sites marking the old Drifter Hive locations have been added to each Drifter wormhole system.
The popular Horizon Siege Point site returns in the form of the Reckoning: Vigilance Point. This site, appearing within Pochven and Shattered Wormhole systems, features several improvements to help foster good fights: drones are now targeted by specific NPCs, the payout range has been reduced to 50km, and micro jump drives no longer function while the wave is active.
New Ore Sites will be spawning in high, low, null security space and Pochven. Refine Tyranite into Eleutrium to be traded for hive system Filaments, Volatile Boosters, and used to manufacture Emission Amplifiers and Limiters.
Sleeper Drone Manufacturing Sites have begun appearing across New Eden. These hostile-infested zones are designed for solo Capsuleers seeking a challenge. Reckoning: Sleeper Forge sites can be found in high-security space and present a lower threat level, though a Battlecruiser is still recommended for safety. Reckoning: Sleeper Foundry sites found in low-security space are significantly more dangerous, and Capsuleers are advised to bring at least a Heavy Assault Cruiser before engaging.
Sleeper relic sites have also begun emerging across New Eden. Reckoning: Sleeper Reserve (high-security space) and Reckoning: Drifter Stockpile (low-security space) conceal valuable relics waiting to be uncovered. Skilled and well-equipped capsuleers—armed with scan probes and relic analyzers—can hack these sites to claim their hidden treasures.
While the Drifter Crisis Interstellar Events are now gone, their Crisis: Field Rescue and Crisis: Observatory Infiltration sites can now be found across Empire-controlled systems. Crisis: Deathless Research Outpost sites can also be found there and within null-security space.
Rewards that can be found by capsuleers within these solo combat and relic sites include valuable Sleeper Protocol Subverter, Drifter themed SKINs and SKINR components, historic capsuleer day SKINs and apparel, limited-time Cerebral Accelerators, boosters and implants.
Fixed an issue where POS shield was appearing yellow/green.
Patch Notes for 2025-04-10.1
Features & Changes:PvE:Several improvements have been made to the code that manages site distributions and respawning. These changes are mostly invisible and will enable new content distribution methods in the future, but there is one change to two sets of sites that will be visible immediately:
Rogue Drone combat anomalies spawned randomly in highsec and Mercoxit mining sites spawned from sovereignty prospecting upgrades will both cluster in unvisited systems less often than before, which will have the effect of increasing the practical visibility of both sets of sites during normal gameplay.
Patch Notes for 2025-04-09.1
Features & Changes:ZarzakhConstruction complex around the Deathless Shipcaster in Zarzakh has been removed.
Infomorph Decryption Trader and Atavum Research Trader, at Warden site in Zarzakh, have had their graphics updated, to better reflect its Deathless origin.
Fixed an issue with flickering decals on the Enforcer while fitted with the Empyrean Outlaw SKIN.
Fixed spotlights on various Shattered Paradigm SKINs so that their brightness is increased correctly with ship speed.
Fixed flickering smoke trail visual effects on Triglavian Generator wreck.
Various issues with the Aegis, Federal Police, Imperial Police, Republic Police, and State Police SKINs have been fixed: all non-Gallente hulls now have the latest Police VFX and geometry, lights now blink correctly in idle vs. warp state, lights floating off the ship hulls are now attached correctly to the ship.
MacOS systems with an AMD GPU and certain graphic settings will no longer crash.
General stability improvements.
Patch Notes for 2025-04-02.1
Defect Fixes:Technical:Fixed failing client start by providing proper VC library version.
Patch Notes for 2025-03-31.1
Defect Fixes:Graphics:Fixed an issue on Mac where the tactical overlay was broken with FSR1 enabled.
Fixed an issue where killmarks wouldn’t show on Tech 3 Strategic Cruisers.
Fixed a transparency issue with certain hair styles.
Fixed a rare situation where the client may become unresponsive.
Removed trailing whitespaces, and extra whitespaces from several eve types.
Fixed issue that caused expert systems rewarded from the Air Career Program to be non-consumable. Expert systems should now be consumable from the inventory.
Patch Notes for 2025-03-27.1
Defect Fixes:Gameplay:Fixed an issue that allowed boosters and expert systems claimed through the ACP to be tradeable on the market and contracts.
Patch Notes for 2025-03-26.1
Features & Changes:Air Career Program:Migrating rewards from the redeem queue to being character bound. Item rewards will be delivered to ship cargo, home station or to the current station the character is currently in. Skill Point and ISK Rewards will be automatically redeemed to the Characters account.
When using the star map on macOS, with low shader settings, the image will now render correctly on all GPUs.
Thousand separators are now properly showing on Win11 computers using French settings.
Patch Notes for 2025-03-25.1
Features & Changes:Graphics:Updated several event booster icons so the numerals are now on the left side rather than the right side.
When changing the reinforcement time of an upwell structure or flex structure, the mail sent will now correctly state that it takes 30 days instead of 7 days.
Added a warning for someone attempting to open a filament while a fleet member is coming out of warp or in warp invulnerability, which would prevent them from becoming linked to the trace.
Updated the icons for scripts which can be loaded into sensor boosters and remote sensor boosters so that they now use the updated icons.
Energy and Workforce Skyhook graphics now display correctly according to type of Skyhook.
Patch Notes for 2025-03-24.1
Defect Fixes:Graphics:
FSR 1.0 now works correctly on macOS
Due to a cloning accident, some capsuleers received an unintended beard shave, resulting in an outbreak of "capsuleer babyface." Clone bay engineers have identified and fixed the cause of the missing beards. They extend their thanks to ‘Redbeard XIII’ for reporting the issue—who now has their handsome looks restored.
Patch Notes for 2025-03-21.1
Features & Changes:Miscellaneous:7 new billboard ads have been added to the rotation.
Some Intel integrated graphics cards with outdated drivers had stability issues or would not launch after a recent update. A workaround has been implemented that forces these cards to use DirectX 11, regardless of the setting in the EVE Launcher. If you experience a problem with the client not opening, please update your graphics card drivers. This has resolved the issue in almost all cases. You can usually find the latest drivers on the graphics card manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel). If you have an older system, you should also check the computer manufacturer's website (Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc.)
Patch Notes for 2025-03-19.1
Features & Changes:Drifter Crisis:Fleets larger than 2x a site’s optimal size will no longer receive payouts or complete challenges.
Optimal fleet sizes are shown within a site's Opportunities page.
For example, if a Lancer Counter Offensive fleet is larger than 10 people, no rewards will be given.
Increased the rift closing timer within Deepflow Rift sites to 18 minutes (from 15).
Added a bonus payout when players retrieve all possible canisters within a Deepflow Rift site.
Increased the amount of points awarded when completing a Vigilant Dreamer challenge.
Sites will now appear when a Sov Hub upgrade is activated, and you will no longer need to wait until the next downtime for them to spawn - but they will only start to appear after their usual respawn timer.
For example, if you install a Major Threat III Upgrade, then the sites will start appearing 12 minutes after you have installed and onlined the upgrade.
An Isogen Prospecting Array II upgrade would take just over 4 hours for the Griemeer deposit to spawn, and 10 hours for the guaranteed Large Mercoxit Deposit to spawn.
Turning off a Sov Hub upgrade before its site spawns will cancel the pending spawn.
Sites will now be removed if their Sov Hub upgrade is turned off, regardless of whether it's in space or pending spawn.
Deepflow Rift challenges will now progress when a site is completed.
Patch Notes for 2025-03-18.1
Features & Changes:Graphics:In this release we are bringing a GPU Driven Pipeline to EVE, allowing for better performance in busy scenes. Read more in the devblog here: EVE Evolved: More FPS for less CPU | EVE Online
To accomplish this, we have made several major low level changes to our graphics engine, Trinity. We have tested this in 3 separate masstests with hundreds of people, along with internal testing across many different configurations, but if you notice anything that looks wrong please press F12 in the client and file a bug report.
We strongly recommend that you update your graphics card drivers to the latest available version.
Balancing:🤝 The Medium Mercoxit Mining Crystal Optimization I has been renamed to Medium Deep Core Mining Optimization I and now provides a bonus to all Deep Core Miners rather than just Mercoxit Mining Crystals specifically. This will still mean that Deep Core Miners will mine less than standard strip miners for regular ore, but now the bonus will be applied to the new ORE Deep Core Strip Miner which can’t load mining crystals.
Paragon Hub - Targeted only at me is now Exclusive Listings.
It’s now possible to set a hotkey for broadcast - Repair Target.
It's now possible to see pinned stations in the asset search window, and hidden stations are now ignored and not shown. (Note: Pinned stations will not always be shown if they don’t meet the criteria of the search, i.e. you have a caldari navy station pinned but search for federation navy).
Image stability when using anti-aliasing has been significantly improved. This reduces the flickering effect that can be seen on thin geometry in the game.
Some small weapons like the Light Neutron Blaster no longer have shadows that occasionally flicker.
When using an IntelARC graphics card and DirectX11, an issue that caused the scene to flicker will no longer happen. Please ensure you’re on the latest graphics drivers for this issue to be resolved completely.
Various client stability improvements.
Fixed an issue which could cause sites to have a longer respawn time than intended the first time they respawn after being installed.
It’s now possible to store a fleet as a fleet member (It was only working for the boss before).
Travel Filaments can no longer be activated on a deadspace grid.
Fixed issue in which saving an existing SKIN design with a new hull did not update the icon in SKINR.
Fixed an issue that caused excessive brightness on windows when transparency was reduced.
Patch Notes for 2025-03-13.1
Features & Changes:Drifter Crisis:The challenges for the Race for the Hives event did not complement the group-focused nature of the content. Some roles were underserved, and some challenges acted as roadblocks. As such, we have decided on an overhaul.
New Race for the Hives challenges have been added:
These replace the existing challenges.
Each of the 5 Crisis sites and the Deepflow Rift site have been given a ‘Complete Site’ challenge:
Only characters eligible for a site’s payout will be counted as completing the challenge.
The points value of each challenge varies, but the overall points per challenge have increased significantly.
All 6 challenges will be active simultaneously, allowing players to pick the content that suits them.
Note: existing faction and event track progress will not be affected by these changes.
Contribution earned when salvaging Battle Wreckage within Field Rescue sites has been greatly increased.
Note: the top contributing fleet will earn the site’s payout.
🤝 It’s now possible to use Broadcast Repair Target from the right click menu in the watchlist.
Fixed an issue that could cause Obliviating NPCs to not attack within Deathless Research Outpost sites.
Fixed not being able to swap to Invention jobs in the Industry window.
The Navy Scan Rangefinding Array module now correctly has a variations tab.
Patch Notes for 2025-03-12.1
Features & Changes:Ansiblex Gates & Force Projection:Ansiblex Jump Gates
It’s no longer possible to use an Ansiblex while warp disrupted or inside a bubble.
Ansiblex Jump Gates have been renamed to Ansiblex Jump Bridges for more clarity on not being able to use them while warp disrupted anymore.
Reduced the Radius attribute on the Ansiblex Jump Bridge from 13,000m to 7,000m.
This will mean that it now takes up much less volume/area in space and will be easier to camp with warp disruptors and bubbles.
Ansiblex Bridges no longer auto-repair, no longer have a damage cap and now use the same reinforcement flow as Metenox Moon Drills.
Ansiblex HP values and resistances have been rebalanced following this change, to provide an increase to their total EHP while giving them higher resistances and lower flat HP to make them easier to remote repair for logistics pilots.
Shield HP and Armor reduced from 750,000 HP to 500,000 HP.
(Note: These are increased by 4x when it is high power).
Shield and Armor Resistances increased from 20% to 75%.
Structure Hitpoints increased from 3,000,000 HP to 12,000,000 HP.
Ansiblex Bridges can no longer be placed closer than 100,000km to stargates.
Existing Ansiblex Bridges will be grandfathered into their current locations, but once destroyed, they will need to be placed at least 100,000km away from the nearest stargate to be replaced.
Ship Warp Speed Changes:We’re making a number of changes to Ansiblex Bridges to limit their force projection power. We’re doing that primarily through giving players more agency by making them more difficult or dangerous to use in contested space, removing the damage cap and requiring them to be manually repaired just like Metenox Moon drills, and requiring new Ansiblex bridges to be placed off grid from stargates to make scouting from the gate harder, rather than introducing new systems or mechanics which limits their use such as jump fatigue.
Our goal with these changes is to make sure nullsec line members and sov holders are still able to use Ansiblex bridges to access the core space that their alliance controls, so that they can still efficiently do daily activities such as mining, ratting, PI, Mercenary Dens, refueling and logistics work without impeding them with a system like fatigue. While opening up more gameplay options to counter force projection, such as delaying responses and fleets with defensive Interdictor and bubble usage, making them more dangerous through increasing the ability for players to setup traps like bombing runs and pipebombs, and to give more options to raiders and roaming gangs by making them easier to camp, and increasing the burden of maintaining distant Ansiblex gates outside of the alliances core space.
The warp speeds of all ships have been adjusted to bring them all together for similar sizes of ships.
Overtime, we’ve adjusted and rebalanced different ship class warp speeds, most recently in 2019 and they are now fairly inconsistent with some ships like Heavy Assault Cruisers having the same warp speed as Stealth Bomber Frigates and Tech 1 Destroyers, while industrial ships such as haulers and mining barges which are also the same size (M) are slower than some battleships.
This can make it difficult for new players to understand the relationship of warp speeds between different size classes of ships and Tech II ships currently have faster warp speeds than Tech I ships, even when it doesn’t always make sense for their specialized role, like the above-mentioned heavy assault cruisers warping faster than regular cruisers. Tech II ships from the size above are also competing with the tech I and navy size below for warp speeds, which makes it is harder to justify bringing smaller classes of ships. This also contributes to unhealthy ‘force projection’ since stronger, more powerful ships, are also able to cross the universe faster.
We have made the following changes to address these issues.
Grouped up all ships based on their size, such as Small, Medium, Large and Capital. Removing the 10% or +0.5AU/s bonus from Tech II ships.
Ships that are slightly bigger than this size category, such as Destroyers for small, Battlecruisers and Haulers for Medium etc. are placed in a plus sized group.
This leaves us with just 7 base warp speed tiers rather than the current 13!
Tech II ships which need the increased warp speed for performing their specialization, such as Interceptors and Interdictors, have been given role bonuses to warp speed to keep their current warp speeds about the same while making these ships easier to identify for new players.
The Net result from these changes are that Titans, Freighters, Mining Barges, Exhumers, Haulers will now warp 10-15% faster, The Porpoise and the Orca get improvements of 25-30% and most Tech II ships which are not specialized will warp slightly slower.
Below is a table with the new warp speeds for every class and size of ships:

Additionally, Capsules will now warp at 4.0 AU/s to match cruisers, which is what they did before the 2019 warp speed increase for Cruisers.
We are not buffing the warp speed of corvettes at this time, which still warp at 3.0 AU/s, to make sure we do not obsolete shuttles and tech I frigates as travel options.
A spool-up timer has been added to all travel filaments (Triglavian Space, Needlejack, and Ice Storm).
A Filament Trace will appear next to the travel filament’s owner on activation:
Nearby fleet members without capsuleer log-off timers will become linked to the trace as it appears.
Characters will unlink from a trace if they cloak, change ship, or go beyond 30km of the trace.
A link cannot be reestablished once broken.
If the filament’s owner unlinks from the trace, it immediately closes.
Traces can be scanned with combat probes or d-scan.
After the spool-up completes, the filament’s owner can jump all characters which remain linked to it:
Warp disrupted players will not be jumped.
Filament owners will be given a confirmation prompt if characters will be left behind.
Traces will close after 15 minutes have passed since it first appeared.
Travel filaments can no longer be used on a deadspace grid.
Filaments have long been a powerful tool for both fast travel and escaping dangerous situations. The addition of a spool-up timer and scannable traces aims to add risk and enable counterplay.
Below is a table with the new filament spool-up timers:

Eos
10% bonus to drone damage and hitpoints per level of Gallente battlecruiser has now been split into 2 separate bonuses.
10% bonus to heavy drone, medium drone, and light drone hitpoints and damage.
5% bonus to sentry drone damage and hitpoints.
7.5% bonus to drone tracking per level of command ships has now been split into 2 separate bonuses.
7.5% bonus to heavy drone, medium drone and light drone tracking.
5% bonus to sentry drone tracking.
We’re making some adjustments to the Eos to specifically target the amount of damage and tracking that it has with sentry drones, while avoiding nerfing regular drone fits. This makes it more similar to the Ishtar which also has lower bonuses for sentry drones.
Orca
Agility multiplier improved from 2.6x to 2.0x
The Orca had a higher align time than the Rorqual, so we are correcting this by giving it a significant buff to agility which should have it now be more comparable to the Rorqual and a reinforced bulkhead fitted Bowhead. We need to be careful not to obsolete Freighters, Deep Space Transports as hauling platforms but we feel like we can make this change now since both of those classes are also receiving warp speed boosts at the same time.
Taking into the account the 25% warp speed buff that it is getting, it should feel significantly more mobile when travelling between systems and mining locations.
Heavy Interdiction Cruisers
All HICs can now fit the regular Cynosural Field Generator.
Interdictors
Reduced the web strength of the Stasis Webification Probes launched by Interdictors from 40% to 20%, to reduce how effective they are against brawlers and sig tanking fleet compositions.
Burst Jammers (ECM Burst)
Can now only be fitted to Battleship Hulls, Hauler Hulls and Command Ships.
A009 C13 Wormholes reduced lifetime from 16h to 4.5h.
The Pirate FOB will now drop 1.5 billion ISK in average in loot.
Regular pirate insurgency roaming NPCs now have a small chance to drop scorched navigation log items which can be turned in at FW LP stores in conjunction with some ISK and LP for a crate containing blueprints for new navy scanning upgrade modules.
Rebalanced the number of pilots that get paid when completing multiplayer reward complexes. The new Schema is as follows:
Scouts and Smalls are now NVY-2 / PIR-2
Mediums are now NVY-3 / PIR-3
Larges are now NVY-4 / PIR-4
And Opens remain at paying up to 5 players before splitting the rewards.
Players will now need to be inside a FW Battlefield site, and within 200km of the entrance beacon to the site for at least 3 minutes to get paid LP.
Moved structures which were very close to the Amarr FW warp in for the Minmatar Battlefield so they will no longer bump off from it if trying to approach the central capture point.
🤝 Added an option for the boss to disband the fleet.
🤝 It’s now possible to flag yourself as exempt from conduit jumps and the regroup command.
🤝 It’s now possible to set a max fleet size, and save max fleet size and default squad settings to saved fleet setups
🤝 Added a new broadcast command - Repair Target, which can be used in situations when you want your fleet members to remote repair a deployable structure or a player/npc not in your fleet etc.
🤝 The 4 racial Isotopes from ice products used in fuel and capital ships, such as Oxygen Isotopes, now all have distinct colored icons so you can easily tell what empire they are associated with at a glance.
Added new unique icons for the remaining combat boosters which did not have them.
New unique icons have been added for Sensor Boosters, Remote Sensor Boosters, Signal Amplifiers, Auto-Targeting systems, Passive Targeting Systems and the Networked Sensor Array.
Added new unique icons for the sovereignty hub combat and mining upgrades.
New Tier 3 sovereignty mining upgrades have been added! The tier 3 mining locations are designed with Rorquals and large mining fleets in mind, with smaller numbers of asteroids but all of them are very high in volume. Each site contains just under 4x the total ore overall compared to the tier 2 mining sites.
Tier 3 sites have a 10 hour respawn timer.
Power Cost: 1800

The Power cost of Tier 1 and Tier 2 upgrades have been reduced by approximately 10% each.
Tier 2 Power Cost reduced from 1350 to 1220
Tier 1 Power Cost reduced from 500 to 450
The Tier 2 nullsec sovereignty hub mining upgrade sites, such as the Grimeer Deposit, have been refactored so that approximately 40% of the asteroids in each site have been removed and their ore contents added to existing asteroids in the site, we have prioritized removing the lower quantity asteroids and tried to make sure there is at least one very large asteroid in each site, we’ve also compacted the asteroid belts to move more asteroids closer together.
Additionally, after this refactor, the amount of ore in the Tier 2 sites has then also been increased by approximately 10-15%.
This means that now, the average asteroid size in all of the sites has been significantly increased.
The Tier 1 mining upgrade sites have also had their ore contents increased by approximately 10%.
Increased the chance of getting the mining escalation from Tier 2 mining sites by 1.5x
The new Tier 3 sites have approximately 2.5x chance over the improved Tier 2 mining sites to get the mining escalation.
We have a created a new ‘Enormous Mercoxit Deposit’ site which has 4x the amount of Mercoxit in it than the Large Mercoxit Deposit, and much larger asteroids.
Total site ore volume = 960,000 m3
Tier 3 mining upgrades will give a guaranteed Enormous Mercoxit Deposit into the system with a 12 hour respawn time.
Tier 2 mining upgrades now will also give a guaranteed Large Mercoxit Deposit into the system rather than it being a chance-based spawn, which has an 8 hour respawn time.
Tier 3 mining upgrades now also give a chance to spawn the ‘Large Mercoxit Deposit’ in addition to the guaranteed Enormous Mercoxit Deposit site.
Tier 2 mining upgrades now also give a chance to spawn the ‘Average Mercoxit Deposit’ in addition to the guaranteed Large Mercoxit Deposit site.
Added a new faction ORE Deep Core Strip Miner module which has 0% waste as an option for mining Mercoxit with mining barges and exhumers. It can be obtained from ORE corporation LP stores.
Cost/Materials to Purchase:
37,500,000 ISK
56,250 LP
1x Modulated Deep Core Strip Miner II
Increased the amount of Pyerite that Mordunium gives when reprocessed.
Mordunium: 80 → 84

Prize Mordunium: 88 → 92
Plunder Mordinium: 92 → 96
To help allieviate pressure on R4s and increase the value of Athanors - The magmatic gas fuel cost per hour for a Metenox Moon Drill has been increased from 110 units to 150 units.
Most Mining sites spawned by upgrades will now persist their respawn time across downtimes (i.e. they won’t always respawn at downtime even if they were mined out at 10:59).
The bounties for NPCs which were increased in the update following Revenant before the NPC warp ins were fixed have now been returned to slightly higher than their original numbers, with the exception for the buffs we made to the NPCs that are exclusive to the Forsaken Sanctum and Teeming Horde sites, which are retaining their approximate total site 36% bounty increase.
the Objectives Infopanel has been added to abyssal deadspace encounters, so you can now track what room you are in and how many NPCs are remaining.
🤝 It’s now possible to restart extractors for a planet from the Planetary Industry window.
To do this, the extractors need to have finished their cycle already, it cannot be done to refresh an ongoing extraction which hasn’t completed yet.
PI Templates are no longer an opt-in feature preview and have been added as a feature for everyone.
Several improvements have been made to the filters for PI Templates.
Improved the search function for PI Templates.
It’s now possible to rename PI Templates.
Using a PI Template with a higher command center level than your character has, will now just upgrade it to your max skill level and try to add as much as it can from the template before running out of resources.
🤝 We now store the height of the window for each tab, so we are not constantly shrinking the windows when you switch tabs and back to them. This applies only to those tabs that do not have max height.
🤝 The sort order of templates is now alphabetical.
🤝 It’s now possible to select multiple pins by holding shift and then swap multiple schematics at once.
The routes tab shows the short names for the pins.
The text for the transiting routes in the 'Routes' tab is now using a secondary color.
Added origin/destination to the 'Routes' tab.
Sales Tax has been increased from 4% to 7.5%.
Mercenary Dens base Infomorph generation has been lowered from 80-115 (avg 100) to 65-100 (avg 82.5).

Combat Battlecruisers and Attack Battlecruisers have had their reprocessed materials updated to the same inputs as the blueprint, so they will now have more accurate (higher) insurance payouts.
The Estimated Item Value for multiple items in the game in the manufacturing cost breakdown should now more accurately reflect the value of the finished product.
🤝 Show number of skill points in queue.
Showcases how many skill injectors may be needed.
🤝 Added state icons to drones in drone window.
Increased the readability of drone states in the drone window.
🤝 Market orders in the Market window are default ordered by:
Sell orders are lowest to highest.
Buy order are highest to lowest.
🤝 Make double-clicking in Orders History bring up market details.
🤝 You can now pin stations to the top of your personal assets window. It is also possible to hide assets.
🤝 You can now jump through Ansiblex’s via the radial menu.
🤝 Added the ability to open multiple fixed item crates.
These are crates that always contain the same items and don’t have random loot.
🤝 Buy Orders will now always buy items from the market at the lowest possible value sale orders first at those prices, instead of always buying everything at the buy order price even when there are already existing valid sell orders at a lower price.
For example, there might be 3 sell orders for a unit of Tritanium in a station, 1 for 6 isk, 1 for 8 isk, and 1 for 10 isk.
You setup a buy order in that station for several units at 10 ISK.
Previously, you would have bought all 3 units of tritanium from the 3 sell orders for the buy order price of 10 ISK after setting up the order.
You will now, pay 6 ISK for the 1st, 8 ISK for the 2nd, and then 10 ISK only for the last unit and any units after that, that players sell to you.
Fixed extra columns in inventory window.
Allowing players to show extra columns in the inventory window, which previously wasn’t functional.
Missing Slot Categories in Inventory Window.
Slot category in the inventory was not functional, we’ve fixed it so that players can now see what slot the item occupies on your ship (if applicable).
Fixed the ability to simulate the fit of ships in the corp hanger.
The Rorqual is now able to get upright again while using the industrial siege modules.
🤝 The order of input materials across different blueprints that have similar should now be more consistent.

Defect Fixes:Gameplay:We’re fairly confident that we’ve fixed the root cause for a rare timing defect which could cause some ships to teleport to random locations in space instead of the undock, when undocking from a citadel in a system with heavy load.
We would like to give a huge thanks to the ISD ECAID volunteer bug hunter team who were instrumental in being able to reproduce this on our test environment.

Patch Notes for 2025-01-31.1
Defect Fixes:Structure SKINR:Fixed and issue that prevented the application of colors on structures.
Patch Notes for 2025-01-30.1
Features & Changes:Drifter Crisis: Drifter Crisis SystemsDrifter-controlled forces have begun launching attacks on all four empires throughout high and low-security space! The first systems will become available between 19:00 and 21:00 tonight, with more following as the crisis continues.
Systems under attack can be found in the new ‘Interstellar Events’ section of the AIR Opportunities window.
Complete ‘Crisis’ sites to weaken the grip the Drifters have on these systems.
There are 4 varieties of Crisis site, with a 5th Crisis Resolution site available once the Drifter forces have been sufficiently weakened.
Each site requires teamwork and strategy, with specific roles needing to be fulfilled for success:
Crisis: Field Rescue — Salvage the wreckage left behind following an empire assault on a Drifter facility to locate any survivors. It is recommended that at least 3 capsuleers tackle this rescue mission. T1 frigates and standard T1 destroyers are permitted.
Crisis: Observatory Infiltration — Scan down this site to retrieve valuable relics from the remains of an emergent Jovian Observatory. Bring up to 2 other capsules to maximize rewards, but be wary of any traps the Drifters may have left behind! T1 frigates, destroyers, and standard T1 cruisers are permitted to enter.
Crisis: Deathless Research Outpost — A Deathless research base is under attack by Drifter forces. Use remote repair modules to keep the structure alive until it can be secured. Alternatively, destroy it yourself and sell the accrued Hyperspace Telemetry data to the highest bidder. 5 capsuleers are recommended to aid the site; less may be required to destroy it. T1 frigates, destroyers, and standard T1 cruisers are permitted to enter.
Crisis: Lancer Counter Offensive — An empire-owned Lancer dreadnought has been deployed to aid a civilian structure. Help it destroy the Drifter presence before its nefarious task can be completed. T1 frigates, destroyers, and standard T1 cruisers are permitted to enter.
Crisis Resolution: Vigilant Dreamer — To resolve the crisis within the system, 10 capsuleers are required to bring an end to the Vigilant Dreamer. Using data analyzers, the defensive array protecting this Drifter facility can be disabled allowing it to be destroyed. T1 frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and standard T1 battlecruisers are permitted to enter.
Payouts from these sites are awarded to the top contributing fleet alone.
Deepflow Rifts have reemerged across the cluster and wormhole space! Intrepid capsuleers should tread carefully; both the rewards and difficulty of the site have been increased.
Homefront Operations:Remote capacitor transmission is now less effective on allied Dreadnought NPCs within Dread Assault sites.
The effectiveness of enemy NPCs which energy neutralize allied Dreadnought NPCs within Dread Assault sites has been greatly increased.
Added a delay to the initial enemy hauler spawn within Raid sites.
Increased the variance and average spawn time of enemy haulers within Raid sites.
Decreased the access difficulty of salvaging wrecks in Salvage Research sites.
Increased the number of enemy NPCs within Salvage Research sites.
🤝 It’s now possible to open multiple crates at once.
Once you’ve opened your first crate, there will be an option to open up to 30 additional crates in the crate window.
Fixed an issue that affected certain SKINR patterns to appear incorrectly.

Patch Notes for 2025-01-16.1
Features & Changes:Pochven & Triglavian Invasions:Observatory Flashpoints:The following changes aim to counteract the efficiency of over-filling a site by adding a net loss when more than 15 characters are present. The payouts for the site have been adjusted to offset the additional setup time and risk.
Assault Vector gates now require the use of Observatory Resonance Keys:
Each character will need their own key to unlock the gate.
A key is consumed on use.
Keys can be bought via NPC sell orders within Pochven stations for 30m ISK each.
15x Keys will drop as loot from CONCORD Stellar Observatories.
Note: Spare keys cannot be sold to NPCs, but can be sold or traded to other characters.
Gates will become unlocked for all characters 60 seconds after a site is complete.
Payouts have been adjusted:
The total optimal payout of the site has been increased to 3.3b ISK (from 3b ISK).
Stellar Surveillance Data will now make up 30% of the optimal reward (from 40%).
Stellar Surveillance Data now belongs to the new EDENCOM data item group.
Greatly increased the number of NPC buy orders for Stellar Surveillance Data.
Threshold Werposts will now have a significantly longer cooldown between target switches.
Threshold Werposts will now always attack the same target as each other.
To help make Pochven more accessible, the minimum standings requirements for certain actions have been reduced.
Fitting and Repair requirements have been reduced to -0.05 (from 1.00 and 2.00, respectively).
Manufacturing and Corporation Office requirements have been reduced to 3.00 (from 4.00).
Home system stargate requirements have been reduced to 6.00 (from 7.00).
Standings will no longer be gained or lost when destroying either type of EDENCOM GunStar.
Standings will no longer be gained or lost when destroying a Stellar Observation Post site’s Stellar Observatory structure.
Last month's change to the Dazh Liminality Locus negatively impacted some playstyles in unintended ways, and as such has been softened significantly. The change also incentivized removing system effects which help make Pochven feel unique, so these have now been split off from the structure.
The Dazh Liminality Locus structure has been reworked:
Increased the decloaking pulse cooldown timer to 60 minutes (from 6 minutes).
Increased the decloaking pulse chance to 60% (from 30%).
Removed the system-wide buffs and penalties.
Added the removed buffs and penalties as permanent system-wide effects within Pochven:
Increased the remote repair bonuses to 30% (from 25%).
Added a lesser version of the Pochven system-wide effects to Triglavian Minor Victory systems:
Reduced the remote repair bonuses to 15%.
Removed the warp speed penalty.
All Acceleration Gates which consume a key per character activating it have been improved:
When a key is consumed, the gate will remain unlocked for that character for the duration of the site.
Note: This persists when a character leaves the location or logs out, but resets after a downtime.
No keys will be consumed when activating a gate already unlocked for that character.
The following changes hope to refine last November's changes to capital escalation rules.
A combat site can now escalate at any time before the second wave spawns.
A combat site will only de-escalate if there is no capital within range after the second wave spawns.
In summary, a combat site will escalate if a capital ship enters within a 100km range of the warp-in point before the second wave spawns. After that spawn, the site will deescalate if no capital is within range. The Drifter Response Battleship will spawn if the site is escalated when the Decloaked Transmission Relay is attacked. Otherwise, the Drifter Recon Battleship will spawn. A beacon appears while the site is escalated to help players keep track of that state.
Defect Fixes:Wormhole Capital Escalations:Fixed an issue that could cause the incorrect Drifter battleship to spawn following a downtime.
Removed text from some DED combat sites that mention keys needed to get into the next room when you actually just need to kill all the NPCs in the room.

Patch Notes for 2024-12-10.1
Features & Changes:PI Templates:You are now able to save your current PI setups as a template as a work-in-progress feature. You can opt-in to test out these templates using the feature previews tab in the settings menu (by pressing 'Esc'). This allows you to share them with other players and your other characters and then import them, allowing you to set up multiple new planetary colonies with much less hassle! Please provide your feedback in this forum thread and suggest additional improvements you'd like to see for this new feature.
We have made adjustments to the base payout ratio and to the components included in Dreadnought reprocessing to increase the insurance payouts for Dreadnoughts closer to their real value. Our current aim is for a Dreadnought to pay about 70-75% of the ship hull value with platinum insurance on death rather than around 15%, which it currently does.
NOTE: These changes will not take effect until after the game recalculates insurance payouts, which may take up to 90 days. The Zirnitra has not been included in these changes for now.

Fixed a bug which would have a Skyhook turn back on straight away after you decided to turn it off.
Destroying a mercenary den will now update the available workforce on the skyhook for the client UI. It was functioning correctly before, but the updated value wouldn’t show until a new merc den was put down, or the player left the system and came back in, or relogged.
Improved the handling of timeouts for mercenary dens.
Double-clicking a skill entry in the Skills tab will now open its info window.

Patch Notes for 2024-12-05.1
Features & Changes:Cinematic Ship Introduction:We are thrilled to announce the Cinematic Ship Introduction to make your experience of boarding a ship for the first time more immersive, exciting, and memorable.

Winter Nexus Event!
The Winter Nexus event has returned to New Eden! This ingame event will run until downtime on January 7th 2025.
Volatile Ice Storms have begun to appear across highsec, lowsec, and nullsec space. These ice storms spread out across the stargate network two jumps from a central system, and occasionally move from system to system just like 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, character apparel, special Sansha's nation combat boosters, Sansha's Nation pirate implant blueprints, and rare faction modules.
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, SKINR nanocoatings and patterns, PLEX, Sansha combat boosters, ice storm jump filaments, skill points, and a Cerebral Accelerator.
A new set of daily login gifts are available over the course of the Winter Nexus event including snowballs, ice storm jump filaments, new Aurora Universalis skins, SKINR nanocoatings and patterns, Sansha combat boosters, EverMarks and up to 650.000 skill points. Players can receive all of these rewards by logging in everyday between now and January 7th.
A new and exclusive SKINR pattern available on the Paragon Hub for the duration of the event.
In addition to the above fantastic gifts, an expert system has been included which will allow all players, including alpha accounts, the ability to fly an Endurance and fit an Ice Mining Laser to mine ice for 4 days.

Mercenary Tactical Operation sites now show players progress through Objectives in the Info Panel.

Patch Notes for 2024-12-03.1
Features & Changes:Factional Warfare:It’s no longer possible to retire from direct enlistment while in space in a ship. You now must either be in a capsule, if in space, or docked up in an NPC station or a Structure.
‘Simulate’ button has been added to the sidebar.
The Fitting tab now displays fitted subsystems for your assembled strategic cruisers.
The Fitting tab now displays the available subsystems for all strategic cruisers.
The 3D ship preview is now always displayed in the SKINs tab, even with compact mode enabled.

Paying EM to complete Air Daily Goals:
We are continuing to refine the Air Daily Goals system and with this update, player now have the option to complete Air Daily Goals with EverMarks. This added flexibility makes earning the Daily Bonus SP and progressing through the Monthly Reward Track faster and easier - perfect for players with limited playtime.
Key Updates:
Streamlined Daily Goals: The total number of goals per day has been reduce from 8 to 4, with one goal from each career path.
Unique Goals Every Day: No duplicate goals are distributed on a given day, making sure that each of the 4 goals offered each day is different.
Career Pool Adjustments:
The “Manufacture an Item” goal has been removed from the Explorer Career pool.
The “Scan 5 Signatures” goal has been removed from the Industrialist Career pool.
Ship Insurance Contribution Method:
We’re excited to introduce the new Ship Insurance Contribution Method, a powerful new tool designed to improve how corporations manage Ship Replacement Program (SRP). Improving on the functionality of the previous Ship Loss project type, this feature offers greater flexibility and customization to enable corporations to effectively reimburse members of their losses for all or only specific ships as well as implants.
Key Features:
Automatic evaluation of ISK lost: Compensation is automatically calculated using the ISK Total Worth from the Kill Report which includes the sum of the average market price of all items lost.
Fitting and cargo coverage: The ISK loss value used for compensation includes the ship hull, fittings, and cargo, all based on the Kill Report.
Implants coverage: Corporations can choose whether to compensate members for implant losses tied to Capsule destruction.
If enabled, all Capsule losses are covered, regardless of which ship loss they follow.
Implants compensation is calculated using the Kill Report’s Total Worth, similar to ships.
One Project for All Ship Types: Manage coverage for multiple ship types or ship groups within a single project, reducing complexity and improving efficiency.
Compensation for PVP or PVE losses: Decide whether to cover the losses from only PvP engagements or including the PvE activities as well.
Filtering by Attacker: Cover losses caused by specific characters, corporations, alliances, factions, or even by anyone.
Filtering by Location: Cover losses that happened in specific solar systems, constellations, regions, or provide coverage for losses across all locations.
Coverage Percentage: Set the coverage rate between 10% and 200% of the Kill Report value, allowing for partial compensation or even overcompensation to incentivize participation.
Limit the coverage per member: Define a maximum ISK limit that each individual corporation member can receive from the project, ensuring fair distribution of resources.
Limit the coverage per loss: Set a limit for the maximum ISK amount reimbursed for a single loss, helping manage the corporation´s SRP budget.
While the Ship Insurance is an improvement over the Ship Loss contribution method, the latter will remain available in the game for now but may be removed in a future update.
Wormholes:Repositioned warp-in and NPC spawn locations in all C4 sites.
These locations should always be within 40km of the site’s central structure.
Sleepless Defender NPCs will now only spawn when a ship is near the Deserted Talocan Cruiser container in C4 Data and Relic sites.
MTOs will now show the correct time they activate for players in timezones that are ahead of the eve server.
Example: An MTO mission will spawn at 12:00, but a person is in Tokyo, Japan, and their PC is set up to that timezone (UTC+9). From their perspective, they would see the mission would spawn at 03:00 (9 hours earlier than from when it should spawn), and it will then look like it just disappeared from the UI at 03:00, until when it actually spawns, at 12:00.
Drifter Recon Battleships will now correctly use their energy neutralizers.
Drifter battleships can now spawn in Core Stronghold sites.
Capital Escalations can now correctly occur in Strange Energy Readings and The Mirror sites.
Rorquals can no longer cause capital escalations to occur.

Harvesting gas no longer counts towards the Mine Materials contribution method in Corp Projects.
Duplicates of Shattered Paradigm SKINs are removed from the game.
Added missing tooltips when hovering over skills in the Skills tab.
Inventory ship cards and Ship Info window background now correctly display the Intaki Syndicate logo for:
Victorieux Luxury Yacht
Zephyr

Fixed an issue where the Ship Insurance banner animation could glitch when UI Scaling was not 100%.
Fixed an issue where the Ship Insurance banner text could overflow the banner in some languages.

Fixed an issue where applying/previewing SKINs on active strategic cruisers could remove the fitted subsystems from the 3D ship preview in the window.
Fixed an issue where 3rd party SKINs could not be deselected in the SKINs tab.
Fixed an issue where the Fitting tab could fail to load correctly in the Ship Info window of an assembled ship in Asset Safety or Fleet Hangar.
Fixed an issue where the maximum number of subsystem slots could be displayed as zero in the Fitting tab of strategic cruisers.

Patch Notes for 2024-12-02.1
Features & Changes:PvE:The Deathless Circle has ceased its deployment of Trustbreaker Arrays.
Deathless Trustbreaker Under Attack sites are no longer available.
Patch Notes for 2024-11-28.1
Features & Changes:Until December 1st, To celebrate the Vanguard Groundbreak Operation, a special set of daily login rewards will be available. Rewards include Vanguard themed nanocoatings and patterns, EverMarks and skill points.
Balance:Reverted the ‘Excavator’ Ice Harvester drone max velocity increase made in 2024-11-26.1 based on player feedback.
‘Excavator’ Ice Harvesting drones returned to 90m/s Max Velocity from 125m/s.
Rebalanced the maximum velocity of all NPCs that appear in Homefront Operations and Deathless Trustbreaker sites.
Notably, DPS destroyer NPCs have been made significantly slower.
Equalized the collision radius of structures that appear in Emergency Aid and Deathless Trustbreaker sites.
Reduced the volume of Contraband Data commodities found in Traffic Stop sites.
A series of changes have been made to C5 and C6 sites. These have been made with the goal of promoting the use of capital ships while still keeping the space rewarding for all players. We will be monitoring the impact of these changes and iterating where necessary.
The rules which cause a Drifter Response Battleship spawn have been changed:
A beacon (visible only on-grid) appears at the warp-in location as the initial NPC fleet is destroyed.
The beacon will despawn if there is no capital ship within 100km of it.
If the beacon is not present when the structure is attacked, the Drifter Response Battleship is ineligible to spawn.
A new Drifter Recon Battleship will spawn in the place of the Drifter Response Battleship if it is not eligible.
This variant of the battleship has less EHP, lower damage, less neutralizer pressure, and drops a reduced number of commodities on destruction.
The loot value of Upgraded Avenger NPCs has been increased.
In Data or Relic sites with Upgraded Avenger NPCs, a beacon (visible only on-grid) will appear the first time a capital ship is within 100km of the warp-in location.
The beacon will despawn if there is no capital ship within 100km of it.
A beacon can only be spawned once per site.
Upgraded Avenger NPCs will appear and remain on-grid only while a beacon is present.
Upgraded Avenger NPCs will only spawn once per site rather than for each capital ship group.
It’s now possible to compress multiple groups of resources while having multiple compression modules activated. Previously it would only be successful on one type if a player was trying to compress multiple groups at once, such as attempting to compress ice and gas at the same time.
The Zirnitra dreadnought will once again attack the Stellar Observatory.
Drifter Battleships will no longer immediately despawn when there are no capital ships within their original site.
Fixed various issues that could allow Upgraded Avenger NPCs to be avoided or have Drifter Battleships warp off prematurely.
Patch Notes for 2024-11-27.1
Features & Changes:User Interface:Vanguard themed Character Select Screen.
In celebration of the upcoming Vanguard Groundbreak Operation - taking place 28 Nov- 9 Dec the Character Select Screen is now in EVE Vanguard theme.
Patch Notes for 2024-11-26.1
Features & Changes:Mercenary DensMercenary Dens now have 2 new attributes, Anarchy and Development. Both Anarchy and Development values will slowly increase over time, approximately 5 levels per day (24 hours). Eventually, when the level hits a certain threshold, the Anarchy or Development for that mercenary den will level up, which can have certain affects.
While a Mercenary Den is reinforced, passive Anarchy and Development are paused.
Added a dedicated window for viewing all your mercenary dens which can be found via the neocom under Industry, or from the mercenary den agency page.
Anarchy Amount: 0-19 - Level 0 - 0% reduction to Skyhook Workforce
Anarchy Amount: 20-39 - Level 1 - 0% reduction to Skyhook Workforce
Anarchy Amount: 40-69 - Level 2 - 10% reduction to Skyhook Workforce
Anarchy Amount: 70-99 - Level 3 - 20% reduction to Skyhook Workforce
Anarchy Amount: 100 - Level 4 - 40% reduction to Skyhook Workforce
This means that if left alone, it will take 8 days for a mercenary den to start to negatively impact a Skyhook.
Development AmountDevelopment Amount: 0-19 - Level 0 - Regular Informorph Production rate
Development Amount: 20-39 - Level 1 - 15% bonus to Infomorph Production Rate
Development Amount: 40-69 - Level 2 - 25% bonus to Infomorph Production Rate
Development Amount: 70-99 - Level 3 - 35% bonus to Infomorph Production Rate
Development Amount: 100 - Level 4 - 50% bonus to Infomorph Production Rate
Approximately every 3 days, a mercenary den tactical operation (MTO) will become available. MTOs are new PVE content designed for a single player in a cruiser. These sites are behind an acceleration gate that only lets in T1 and faction cruisers, or any destroyer/frigate. Once an MTO has been warped to, a beacon will appear in space which anyone can warp to, even hostile players. MTOs are very rewarding and will drop on average around 80-100 million ISK in loot, and if they are successfully completed, they will decrease anarchy by 20 points, and increase development by 10 points. Since it takes 4 days for anarchy to increase by 20 points, this means that running a MTO once every 3-4 days (when it becomes avaliable) will be enough for Mercenary Den owners to maintain their dens to prevent any adverse affect on the Skyhook if they so wish.
To Start an MTO, you will need to be undocked in the solarsystem where the mercenary den is located, and then start it from the Opportunities window, or from the Mercenary Den window. MTO sites always spawn in the same solarsystem as where the Mercenary Den is located. A Mercenary Den can have a maximum of up to 3 MTOs at once, and MTOs last for 4 days after being offered.
If a Mercenary Den is already maxed out at level 4 Development, completing a MTO will create 500 bonus infomorphs directly into the mercenary den on completion in place of the development reward.
Ship and Module BalanceFerox Navy Issue
Signature Radius increased from 300m to 325m
Agility nerfed from 0.66x to 0.69x
Max Targeting Range reduced from 67500m to 60000m
The Ferox Navy Issue is overperforming, so we’re increasing the signature radius back up to the regular T1 Ferox amount and then nerfing the agility and targeting range slightly. We’re hoping the combination of sig and agility reduction will make them a bit more vulnerable to battleships and stealth bombers in fleet encounters. The Ferox Navy Issue loses the optimal bonus the regular T1 Ferox has so we are shaving a bit of max targeting range off as well.
Eos
Drone Optimal range per level reduced from 10% to 5%
Toning down the Eos somewhat. It has 11 mid-slots and low-slots combined, unlike all other Command Ships which have 10, which is even more powerful when you consider it is a drone ship. Seeing it start to become a little unhealthy in some places so we’re reducing the power of sentry drone fits slightly.
Heavy Assault Cruisers
50% reduction in Microwarpdrive signature radius penalty Role Bonus added back
In the Uprising expansion, we made significant changes to HACs by removing or reducing long range bonuses and completely reworking the Muninn which was the most dominant ship in the game at the time. We feel like the meta has shifted now with more Battleships and Navy Battlecruisers being viable so that we can now add back the 50% MWD signature radius role bonus to HACs which we removed in early 2021.
Ashimmu
Drone Bay and Drone Bandwidth increased from 40 Mbit/sec to 50 Mbit/sec
Max Velocity increased from 208 to 215m/s
Agility improved from 0.58x to 0.55x
The Ashimmu has lower usage than the other pirate cruisers, so giving it the ability to field 5 medium drones, or 2 flights of light drones. And giving it some small speed improvements.
Scythe
CPU increased from 285tf to 300tf
Powergrid increased from 345MW to 375MW
Max Velocity increased from 250m/s to 260m/s
Agility improved from 0.6x to 0.57x
The Scythe has fitting issues, especially since it’s an entry level support cruiser so giving it a small amount of love there. Also boosting the mobility of the Scythe a bit to try and help it stand out from the Osprey more by improving its strengths.
Vengeance
Rocket Damage Per Level of Amarr Frigate increased from 5% to 7.5%
Powergrid increased from 43MW to 46MW
The Vengeance has low usage, so we’re giving it a small facelift with some extra damage (But still keeping the Hawk on top with kinetic damage missiles) and a bit more powergrid to help give it some more options.
Cruor
Drone Bay and Bandwidth increased from 5m3 to 10m3 and 5 Mbit/sec to 10 Mbit/sec, respectively.
Max Velocity increased from 330m/s to 340m/s
Agility improved from 3.6x to 3.4x
The Cruor is underperforming relative to its peers. We’re giving it an extra drone to bump up its damage potential a bit, but have that DPS be destructible. We are then improving the Cruor’s mobility so it can better use the long-range web for catching kiting ships.
Maulus Navy Issue
Highslots increased from 2 to 3
Powergrid increased from 35MW to 38MW
Max Velocity incrased from 315m/s to 325m/s
The Maulus Navy Issue currently has 1 less total slot than the other Navy EWAR Frigates, so we’re correcting that by giving it an extra high slot. The hope here is that this will improve its versatility and open up options like triple neut setups that its brother in spirit Tristan is capable of. Small PG boost to help fill that high slot, and then a small mobility improvement since it currently is the slowest navy frigate.
Rorqual
'Excavator' Mining Drone base velocity increased from 175m/s to 250m/s
‘Excavator’ Ice Harvesting Drone base velocity increased from 90m/s to 125m/s
All Exhumers
Max Locked Targets improved from 6 to 8
Skiff
Agility improved from 0.8x to 0.64x
Midslots increased from 4 to 5
All Mining Barges
Max Locked Targets improved from 5 to 6
Procurer
Agility improved from 0.8x to 0.64x
Midslots increased from 2 to 3
We’re giving all mining barges and exhumers an extra few locked targets to improve quality of life when mining. Specifically, the Procurer and Skiff are getting a significant agility buff, which will bring down their align times by several seconds each, and an extra midslot. During the 2022 rebalance, the Procurer and Skiff both lost a slot each total, while the Covetor and Hulk gained one, when we rebalanced them around all having the same total number of slots. The Procurer and Skiff also had their agility nerfed a bit too much and so we are now correcting this and giving them back the slot they lost. Finally, we are improving the speed of Excavators to increase their effectiveness when mining, especially when mining further away asteroids, since the Rorqual is now a more supporting role and excavators are balanced around high wastage.
Navy Faction Light Fighters
Heavy Rocket ability charge count increased from 12 to 15.
Small buff to navy fighters doing longer PVE encounters like the Forsaken Sanctums and Teeming Hordes. Without obsoleting T2 Fighters which still have slightly higher DPS.
Standard Cerebral Accelerator
Removed 20% turret damage boost and 20% missile rate of fire boost.
Increased attributes from +3 to +5.
Factional Warfare and Insurgency BalanceWas being abused by new freshly injected characters to take advantage of the 20% damage boost in ships like Marauders and Dreadnoughts, or PVP smurf accounts rather than being used by new players. Removing the damage bonuses and increasing the attributes on it from +3 to +5, to compensate it, which should make it actually more useful for new players and remove the abuse cases.
Respawn time for NPCs has been significantly increased
In Equinox we fixed battlefields being cheesed by holding a single battlecruiser NPC alive, however with that fix, players feel like Battlefields are now too tedious and not rewarding enough and this has caused a reduction in fighting and PVP in and around battlefields. To address this, we are approximately doubling the time between NPC waves.
Drop rates of Encoder Splice and Decoded Packages from FW Operation Centers (Rearguard Data Sites) has been approximately doubled.
Doubled the effectiveness on advantage of the Propaganda Broadcast Structure and the Listening Post objective deployables.
Propaganda Broadcast Structures and Listening Outposts advantage deployables are not being used outside of key system sieges. We’re trying to improve this by increasing their availability and effectiveness.
Tether Radius on the Pirate FOBs has been dropped from 100km to 50km
A key complaint from anti-pirate players in insurgencies is that the Pirate FOBs have such huge tether ranges that it makes it incredibly difficult to siege as pirate aligned players can remain tethered and invulnerable until they want to engage while close to their ships even in long range setups, so we’re bringing it down to a value that should still feel very comfortable for players coming in from the shipcaster, but less powerful as a tool used against players trying to siege the FOB.
Reduced the number of Factional Warfare Small NVY-5 and Small ADV-5 sites. A slightly increased amount of Small NVY-1s and Small ADV-1s will appear in their place to keep the potential number of victory points generated per day the same.
Reduced the total number of the insurgency Small ADV-5 sites, their chance to spawn has been rolled into increasing the number of Medium and Large ADV-5 sites which spawn instead.
The Respawn time of all insurgency ADV-5 sites has been increased (slowed down) to keep LP and Corruption generation rates similar with an increased number of Medium and large ADV-5 sites spawning.
Another common complaint with FW and Insurgencies is the amount of multiboxing destroyers in the warzone. We’re trying to address this by shifting the FW sites back towards 1-man sites and the insurgency 5-person sites away from Smalls and into Mediums and Larges. We’re doing this because it’s fairly difficult to contest 5 Destroyers inside smalls with less than 5 pilots, but much easier in Mediums and Larges where 2-3 Navy Cruisers/HACs or 1-2 BCs can engage them. Having slower responding but larger, more rewarding 5-person sites will hopefully also increase the number of them that are contested.
Added appropriate salvage to the Angel and Guristas FOB wreck.
Drone Relic Sites can now appear in class 1-3 Wormhole space at a similar rate to the existing pirate faction relic sites.
Drone Relic Sites can now drop Atavums.
Lowered the overall drop rate of Atavums from Relic Sites.
Structure-bashing NPCs in Emergency Aid sites will now orbit their targets at a closer range.
Repair effects are now less effective on structures within Emergency Aid sites.

The Deathless Circle has deployed Planetary Trustbreaker Arrays to steal passkeys for planetary defense networks ahead of Vanguard assaults. These sites have fallen under attack by Drifter forces!
Deathless Trustbreaker Under Attack sites are appearing in pirate Insurgency FOB systems.
Capsuleer fleets can choose to protect the Trustbreaker Array for the duration to receive a reward from the Deathless. 5 capsuleers are recommended for this challenge.
Alternatively, those who do not wish to support the Deathless can wait for the structure to generate PDN passkeys before destroying it. Many groups would pay handsomely for any such commodities seized from the wreckage!
Regardless of their motivations, capsuleers are limited to bringing standard T1 cruisers or below within the site.
Sequencing is returning to its original time duration.
Added an indicator for new SKINs in your Paragon Hub collection.
Added indicators for new design elements in your collection in SKINR.

Patch Notes for 2024-11-22.1
Features & Changes:Missions & NPCs:We have adjusted and refactored NPC warp in behavior and spawners in some nullsec anomalies to make their warp ins much more compact, which will make these anomalies much better for AOE farming (Stormbringer, Thunderchild and Smartbombing).

All Drone Hordes and Patrol sites.
The Regular base version of the Rally Points.
Last week, we increased NPC bounties to counteract the income reduction caused by NPC's warping in instead of spawning in place.
We are maintaining the 30-40% NPC bounty increase we made last week, which has already increased total nullsec bounties to higher than what they were before Revenant, however, with the addition of this set of changes we will be monitoring the economy and we will potentially make adjustments to bounties or anomalies if needed in the future.
The site’s beacon has been moved back to the Acceleration Vector area.

Lowered the Scan Resolution on the common variation of the NPC Dreadnoughts so they will now take a longer time to lock.
Added an option to enable/disable ‘compact mode’ in the Ship Info window settings.

Fixed a rounding error when trying to take infomorphs - You can now always take the maximum amount of infomorphs and it won’t fail if you have spare cargo which is a multiplier of 0.1m3 but not enough to hold them all.
Fixed an issue where killmarks could be displayed for off-grid ships through d-scan.
Fixed an issue where ship rotation sound effects (switching between tabs) could play when selecting the current tab.

Patch Notes for 2024-11-15.1
Features & Changes:Miscellaneous:Revenant DLI rewards for Day 10 and Day 14 have been swapped so players don’t have to login for all 14 days to get the biggest reward.
With the renovation update to Nullsec anomalies, and bug fixes for the NPC dreadnoughts released in Revenant, we did not intend to significantly impact Nullsec income with the changes to the NPCs warping in instead of spawning in place. We also have not made any intentional changes to the AI used by the NPCs which would cause them to attack drones more frequently.
To address these concerns, we are increasing several Battleship and Battlecruiser NPC bounties found primarily in Nullsec by between 30-40% to compensate for the reductions in efficiency for AoE farming (Smartbomb, Stormbringer and Thunderchild ratting) due to the NPCs warping in and potentially requiring higher level of activity for increased drone management for drone setups. We are also happy for this to be a significant boost for more active forms of ratting that were not as directly impacted, such as Marauder ratting.
Increased the bounties on several NPCs found primarily in Nullsec Anomalies by 30-40%.
This results in the following total average bounty increases for these popular Nullsec anomalies:
Hubs: 28.40%
Rally Points: 28.50%
Patrols: 30.20%
Havens: 31.70%
Forsaken Hubs: 34.50%
Hordes: 34.70%
Sanctums: 35.70%
Forsaken Sanctums & Teeming Hordes: 36.00%
Increased the Radius of the Zarzakh Raitaru item traders to be the same as a regular Raitaru (So players don’t have to be so close to it/inside the 3D Asset).
Increased the minimum interaction range needed to trade with the item traders from 2.5km to 10km.
It’s now possible to black ops bridge and take conduit jumps with the Tholos and Cenotaph.
Added missing German translation for some ship quotes and attributions in the Ship Information Window.
Added missing German translation for a couple of words and tooltips in the Ship Information Window.
Fixed an issue where the SKINR shortcut and the ship name could be missing from the SKINs subtab of the Personalization section in the Fitting window.

It’s no longer possible to take encrypted infomorphs from a Mercenary Den that passively regenerated enough shields to go over 50% while reinforced.
Standard combat NPCs will no longer occasionally select drones as primary targets.
EDENCOM dreadnought NPCs will now always warp in within 40km of the Stellar Observatory.
Triglavian NPCs will now attack EDENCOM NPCs unprovoked within the Assault Vector area.
Raptor NPCs will now use railguns rather than pulse lasers.
The primary material slot is now correctly applied to the Bane and Revelation Navy Issue within the SKINR.
The primary material slot is now correctly applied to the Bane and Revelation Navy Issue within the SKINR.
Fixed the name of the item trader site name in Zarzakh.
Added a missing tooltip for the Ship Insurance icon.

Fixed an issue where the character info was missing from the sidebar and the Overview tab for the character’s assembled ships
It’s now possible to view the Planets section of the Agency in Wormhole space, so that you can view the Planetary Industry card.

The Future of EVE: Where Legends Begin
8. May 2025 13:00
Glorious capsuleers!
With echoes of celebration still ringing in our ears, Fanfest 2025 has officially wrapped, and what an experience it’s been! From community-driven panels to jaw-dropping reveals, the EVE community brought the heart of New Eden to life across three unforgettable days in the hallowed halls of Harpa. With a bold new EVE Online expansion, a deep dive into Vanguard, EVE’s evolving MMOFPS experience, and the strongest showing yet of a player-driven universe, Fanfest 2025 made one thing clear: the future of EVE is in excellent hands.
Trade Hub Shenanigans
The Trade Hub was a hive of activity this year, where capsuleers from every corner of the galaxy converged to enjoy old favorites (EVE Art Corner! EVE Merch Store! Lady Brewery Beer!) and new wonders (Experience Spatial Audio, Iceland Gaming Expo, UI Safe Space). Alliances were made and broken over intense rounds of Titan Forge’s EVE War for New Eden board game, and players tried their luck at the Hyper Wheel in the name of raising funds for charity. High-five a dev, anyone?
Throughout Fanfest, the Trade Hub functioned as the beating heart of the event, where attendees ate, drank, and made plans for EVE tattoos together. There was incredible fan art and a magical atmosphere with something for everyone.
Panels and Presentations
Community voices led the charge across dozens of insightful panels over 3 days of epic programming. Day 1 was all about connection, with standout sessions like EVE for Everyone, where streamers and devs discussed inclusion across the cluster, and Weaponizing EVE for Good, highlighting the EVE community’s charitable initiatives.
The Little Things panel on Day 2 was a fan-favorite session where CCP developers showcased a series of small but impactful quality-of-life improvements stemming from direct player feedback. The highlight of Little Things was the opportunity for players from all over the world to share their insights and make requests for changes that would make meaningful improvements to their gameplay. Did people have opinions? Oh yes! Players and devs alike enjoyed lively dialogue during this panel, where laughs (and great ideas) were shared.
Other favorite sessions included the Drifter Summit YC127, UNDOCK: EVE from a New Player Perspective, The Art of EVE - A Visual Showcase, EVEconomics, and Day 3’s Inventing the Universe Through Astrophysics.
And of course our special guest speakers presented their keynotes: Dr. Becky Smethurst knocked it out of the park with It’s Not Easy Growing a Super Massive Black Hole and Dr. Ronald Turner presented Helping to Make the EVE Universe a Reality: The NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program and joined us for fascinating conversation at the Real Life Space Panel.
EVE Keynote - Where Legends Begin
Excitement was running high for the EVE Keynote, kicked off by CEO of CCP Games, CCP Hellmar.
Top billing went to EVE: Legion, the next major expansion for EVE Online launching 27 May. Legion ushers in a brand new era in New Eden, built on unity, ambition, and the limitless potential of cooperation. Highlights included a focus on corporate identity, Freelance Jobs, new tools for sovereignty, and two devastating new warships: the Triglavian Babaroga marauder and Angel Cartel Sarathiel dreadnought.
And the good stuff kept on coming. Other juicy upgrades included:
Major map enhancements to better serve players
Improved base navigation for better functionality
Cruiser and capital balance changes
Visual overhaul for some cruisers – and more!
In addition to these exciting improvements, devs revealed some major post-Legion expansion themes including capital escalation, diversifying capitals in space, resource gathering, and pioneering.
The keynote also revealed interesting tidbits that we learned over the last year - for starters, your dreadnoughts did 86 billion in damage ! We found out which player alliances had endured for 10 years or more (actually amazing), and EVE Galaxy Conquest Season 4 was introduced as the biggest evolution yet – with greater fleet capacity and more intense gameplay.
Rounding out a keynote brimming with innovation, it was announced that a foundational poetry book of verses defining life in New Eden – where players share their wisdom – is in the works. EVE is mythology in the making.
Purpose is Power - Legion Expansion Keynote
Watch the full Legion Expansion Keynote on YouTube!
The much-anticipated Legion expansion keynote dug deeper into the mechanics of this upcoming release, and players can look forward to a galaxy more interconnected than ever when Legion launches.
Capsuleers applauded the reveal of Freelance Jobs, a brand-new way to connect players to corps via player-made tasks and give experienced players the chance to share their knowledge by mentoring newcomers in all things EVE. Plus, Freelance Jobs are a great way to grow strong, healthy corps that combine the enthusiasm of new recruits with the wisdom of seasoned veterans, and support alliances against their rivals.
Other reveals included updates to nullsec sovereignty with the announcement of three new upgrades providing more flexibility, customization, and scalability. The capability to immediately capture existing skyhooks was well received, as was the Sarathiel’s ability to use a capital micro jump drive, even when in siege mode.
We introduced:
Nullsec sovereignty tools: new upgrades, system-wide modifiers, and skyhook capture mechanics
Ship balance passes: capital ships and cruisers get tuning
Corporation palette: the new corporation palette tool for visual customization (everyone gets a color picker!) makes it easier to personalize your ships and better express corporation identity both in- and outside of the game
Robust ESI updates: these play a major role in bridging the gap into New Eden, a lifeline affecting how EVE connects to everything around it
The Legion expansion trailer introduced capsuleers to a new world of possibilities that they can anticipate, starting 27 May. Read about the in more detail!
EVE Vanguard Keynote
The spirited EVE Vanguard keynote on Day 3 revealed where this cutting-edge, boots-on-the-ground experience is heading. We introduced the world of EVE Vanguard and what awaits players in Early Access, showcasing why EVE Vanguard will set a new standard for the MMOFPS. From the systems and vision shaping the Vanguard experience, to the potential for both Vanguard players and EVE’s most powerful alliances to shape the war from its foundations, this was one to watch.
EVE Vanguard highlights included:
New weapon systems and armor classes
Procedural biomes and expanded combat zones
A revamped drop system and persistent progression
Vanguard Founder’s Program on Discord
The next open playtest event, Nemesis, begins September 16. Populate planets with Vanguard Bastions and test out new suits and weapons – this will be the final pre-alpha test before EVE Vanguard enters Early Access in Summer 2026.
See the Full EVE Vanguard Keynote here!
The Extracurriculars
No one goes to Fanfest for the presentations alone – even though they’re amazing. That’s because the additional parties are ridiculous and the organized tours are literally life-changing. Attendees leave Iceland with memories for a lifetime – not only from the buffet of incredible knowledge and talent on offer during the event, but also from the opportunities to socialize, connect, and explore all that this chilly island in the north has to offer.
This year, capsuleers enjoyed bar mixers and a LAN party, a Hackathon, Queeraoke and metal mayhem, city walking tours, foodie tours, tours of the EVE monument, and tours inside an actual glacier. You flew, hiked, walked, and drove, saw pearls of west Iceland and gems of the south coast. And when you were tired of the all-night dancing? It was time for a beautiful Sunday soak in the Sky Lagoon.
Fanfest 2026 Announced
Mark your calendars: Fanfest 2026 returns to Reykjavík 14-16 May next year! Tickets are already available via Eventbrite. Expect more reveals, intriguing player stories, and new ways to shape the future of EVE.
EVE is Forever - You are EVE
To our community: thank you for joining us at Fanfest 2025! Whether in person or across the stars via stream, it’s your passion that fuels New Eden. The evolution of EVE lives and dies with you, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the friendship and innovation you bring to the game.

6. May 2025 11:00

In a final pushback under the codename Wrath of Tyrannos, the clash is set to reach its zenith. Starting today, the culmination of this month-long event sees Labyrinth Complex and Nexus Point sites appearing in highsec and lowsec, respectively, with the latter appearing in lowsec as Locus Point sites.

Legion Expansion Launches on 27 May
2. May 2025 17:00
The EVE keynote at Fanfest was packed with exciting news about EVE’s upcoming Legion expansion, the limited-time open pre-alpha access event for Vanguard in September, exciting summer news for EVE Frontier and a variety of other updates. You can watch the keynote on Twitch or catch up on all of today’s events over on CCP TV.
Legion expansion is imminent
The highlight of the Fanfest keynote was the announcement of EVE’s next expansion - Legion - releasing on 27 May!
Legion ushers in a new era in New Eden – one built on unity, ambition, influence, and the strength of capsuleers working together. Make your mark through Freelance Jobs that connect you to legendary players who have made EVE Online what it is today, and to those that are creating the New Eden of tomorrow. Reach beyond the ranks of your corporation and harness the talent of eager recruits! Fly as legion, under one banner, commanding devastating new warships that redefine battlefield power and leverage new sovereignty upgrades to strategically customize your space for maximum control.
Whether rising as an independent pilot or building an empire, this is your time to lead, inspire, and redefine the future.
More details will be revealed during the expansion keynote at 12:30 UTC on 3 May, which you can watch live on CCP TV.
Connect. Collaborate. Conquer.
A revolution in capsuleer collaboration, Freelance Jobs empower corporations to reach beyond their ranks and harness the talent of capsuleers eager to prove themselves!
Corporations can expand their operations, give purpose to potential recruits, and fuel their momentum and reputation. Whether you’re building an industrial empire or wielding formidable fleets, you can lead with conviction and scale with confidence.
New pilots can directly impact a living universe from day one! Freelance Jobs offer meaningful, player-created opportunities that reward curiosity, commitment, and courage. Earn ISK while building a reputation, gain priceless experience, and discover the many paths open to you. Connect with real corporations and real ambitions when taking your first steps or returning with something to prove.
Your Brand. Your Colors. Your Legacy.
Legion also introduces the Corporation Palette, allowing corporations to craft a visual identity as bold and distinctive as their ambition through full-spectrum color selection to represent their vision. Your colors are a statement of unity and boost pride, cohesion, and recognition as your influence grows across the cluster. Whether you want to broadcast your philosophy, rally your members, or simply stand apart, your palette is yours to define.
Amass Firepower, Command Destruction
Two fearsome new warships bring ultimate firepower and resilience, designed to dominate the battlefield and inspire awe.
The Babaroga, a Triglavian marauder, delivers brutal entropic disintegrator damage and its bastion module unleashes record-breaking subcap DPS.
The Sarathiel, an agile and fierce Angel Cartel dreadnought, unleashes fast, long-range capital-class destruction, enjoys big bonuses to capital projectile damage and falloff, and the unique ability to use a capital micro jump drive (CJMD) in siege mode!
Shape Your Space
New sovereignty upgrades will bring more control and dynamism to your nullsec territories. Mold your space and expand your strategies with powerful new sovereignty upgrades that provide new exploration opportunities and even greater leverage over your resources.
Firstly, new upgrades are being introduced that let you generate new colony resources by utilizing existing ones. Each one comes in three tiers, allowing for more flexibility when shaping your space to match the activities and ambitions of you and your corpmates.
Four new upgrades that consist of paired bonuses are also being added, allowing sovereignty owners to tailor their systems to fit their preferred combat styles, ships, and modules. For example, one of the system modifiers will apply a gamma effect to benefit your shield doctrines and capacitor capacity. Another plasma effect system modifier will benefit your armor comp and module overheating.
Finally, an improved version of the exploration upgrades that spawn data and relic sites are being re-introduced, complete with a new distribution system that will affect the spawn rate of these sites for several systems instead of just one. These upgrades will also have a guaranteed spawn rate upon installation and a chance at an escalation path across each of the tiers with new rewards.
Furthermore, orbital skyhook conquest costs will be greatly reduced with the ability to capture existing skyhooks, making your road to conquest more streamlined.
These upgrades will bring greater flexibility and opportunity to nullsec, enabling alliances to invest in infrastructure that reflects their ambitions and adapt more rapidly to changing circumstances.
The result is a more dynamic, rewarding sovereignty system that offers corporations new ways to support their members, compete on equal footing, and build a lasting legacy.
But Wait, There is More
Legion will also bring sweeping balance changes to cruisers and capital ships, along with a range of quality-of-life updates. check out the EVE Legion keynote tomorrow to learn more.
Introducing Nemesis!
Also announced was Nemesis, a limited-time Open Pre-Alpha Access event for EVE Vanguard.

Celebratory capsuleers!

This energy will grow exponentially over the next few days, and we can’t wait for what’s next. Tune in to the Live Stream throughout the weekend!
Player presentations: Our shared stories
Day 1 boasted a variety of fantastic presentations. Some of the highlights included EVE for everyone - a discussion on what inclusivity means, an opportunity to share personal stories, and a look at what initiatives are being taken in-game and within the community to make New Eden more welcoming for all pilots.
Player presentations included Weaponizing EVE for Good! by long-time EVE Streamer and EVE Partner Rahne, which showcased the power of the EVE community to rally together to make a positive impact in the world, from charity fundraisers to community-driven initiatives.
Focusing in on the new members of the EVE community, UNDOCK: EVE from a New Player Perspective by EVE Partner The Boojum explored why the experiences of rookie pilots are so very valuable. Sharing his insights as a new player, he shared his thoughts on what it’s like to enter a long-established MMORPG, along with salient advice on how rookies can successfully carve out their own adventures.
Drifter Summit YC127
Today’s Drifter Summit took a look back at the Drifters' influence on New Eden and the events that have transpired over the last several months. Convened at the behest of the Sisters of EVE, facilitated by the Arataka Research Consortium, and represented here by Uriel Anteovnuecci and DutchGunner, the summit featured players who’ve made significant contributions to their factions during the Race for the Hives, and who were specially invited to attend this RP-lite narrative event as delegates for their chosen faction.
Trade Hub treasures
Diverse and wondrous things were seen in the Fanfest Trade Hub, from glorious EVE inspired original art, to Titan Forge gameplay, and fully costumed capsuleers.
The Art of War for New Eden
Presented by Rixx Javix, one of the EVE Community’s most celebrated artists, we were immersed in the creative journey behind EVE: War for New Eden, with a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how the upcoming board game evolved from concept to production.
Charity dinner at CCP HQ
Fanfest wouldn’t be complete without an inspiring opportunity to meet, greet, and eat with EVE developers and CCP’s CEO at the Gróska headquarters. Tonight’s dinner featured an evening of low-key networking with the CCP community and an exciting chance for players to engage with developers, ask questions, and exchange ideas. To top it off, proceeds from the dinner went to support Barnaspítali Hringsins, the Children’s Hospital of Iceland.
Metal mayhem at day’s end
We’re calling it Capsuleer Carnage! As the first full day of official Fanfest 2025 programming comes to an end, capsuleers are converging for a wild night at Lemmy, Reykavík’s fave live rock music venue. Labelled a no-holds-barred, late-night bar brawl, this event features the sonic assault of CCP's very own hell-raising DJ duo, CCP duckling and CCP Rzarector. While capsuleers and CCP-ers alike bond over a shared love of metal mayhem in downtown Reykjavík, the dawn of a new day is quickly approaching. We’ll see you back at it tomorrow!
