Winter Balance Update

In this balance pass, we are hoping to address some long-standing community concerns with projection and overpowered weapon systems - while also cutting down and boosting some outliers to hopefully promote alternative options for a more vibrant death and destruction filled ecosystem.

Weapon Systems:

Entropic Disintegrators

Triglavian weapons have been very powerful for a long time, especially since they feature medium ranges with better than blaster tracking, while in many cases, pre-ramp DPS can also be on par or close to other ships which operate at the same range. While we originally looked into reducing their tracking, we decided that the better alternative was to lean into their identity as a ramping damage weapon. Triglavian weapons are being adjusted to have slightly lower base damage, but they will retain the same damage at max spool as they have now by increasing the maximum ramp multiplier. The Mimesis implant set and Nergal/Ikitursa will end up having a small damage increase at max spool. We are also increasing the damage multiplier per cycle so it will still take around 30 cycles of the weapon to reach max ramp.

• Base damage reduced by 20%

• Damage multiplier per cycle increased from 5% to 7%

• Damage multiplier max increased from 2.5x to 3.125x

This should make them weaker at killing tackle ships, since the initial damage when target swapping is lower. This will also help other alternative options that fill the same role stand out more, like in the case of the Omen Navy Issue vs the Vedmak, with the Omen Navy Issue now offering much better initial DPS.

The Triglavian AT ships have also been adjusted to maintain their unique quality of reaching max ramp in 20 cycles instead of 30 cycles.

• Hydra - Additional damage multiplier per cycle increased from 0.5% to 0.75% per level of the Covert Ops skill.

• Tiamat - Additional damage multiplier per cycle increased from 0.5% to 0.75% per level of the Recon Ships skill.

Note: We have chosen to not adjust the capital weapon variation (Ultratidal) at this time.

Rapid Light Missile Launchers

Rapid Light Missile Launchers have been incredibly powerful for some time, especially when combined with range bonuses. As we re-balanced the Cerberus in the Viridian Expansion last summer, we intentionally removed the light missile range bonuses from the ship. In this balance pass, we are removing all the remaining per level range bonuses to Rapid Light Missiles, to match the precedent set with Rapid Heavy Missiles, which do not increase with Bastion or Spaceship Command skills.

Note that role bonuses from ships will still apply just like with Rapid Heavy Missiles (Mordus Legion Ships and Combat Battlecruisers).

• Caracal - Missile velocity bonus now only applies to Heavy and Heavy Assault Missiles.

• Osprey Navy Issue - Missile velocity bonus now only applies to Heavy and Heavy Assault Missiles.

• Onyx - Missile velocity bonus now only applies to Heavy and Heavy Assault Missiles.

Ships:

Marauders

While we are happy with the on-grid power of Marauders since the adjustments we made in the Viridian Expansion, Marauders can still feel oppressive in certain scenarios. Marauders currently only warp 12.5% slower than T1, Faction and T3 Cruisers, which doesn’t leave much room for them to out-maneuver Marauders when choosing to avoid them. It also does not give players much reason to choose smaller hulls over a Marauder when travel time is a consideration for PVP and PVE. To tackle this, we’re reducing the warp speed of Marauders down to the same base level as T1 and Faction battleships.

• Warp speed for the Marauder Class (Paladin, Golem, Kronos, Vargur) reduced from 3.5 AU/s to 3.0 AU/s.

Black Ops

• Cloak Velocity Speed Role bonus increased from 6.5x to 7.5x to match the current stated trait role bonus of 650%.

The trait role bonus wasn't being applied properly.

Field Command Ships

In an earlier balance pass, we removed the Command Burst range bonuses from the Field Command group of Command Ships in exchange for an increase to Command Burst strength. This change, however, has made them feel a bit too difficult to use while skirmishing, so we are re-adding the Command Burst range bonus at Combat Battlecruiser strength.

• Added 50% Role Bonus to Command Burst Range to the Field Command subgroup of Command Ships (Absolution, Nighthawk, Astarte, Sleipnir).

Astarte

The Astarte is currently the least used Command Ship and it struggles to compete with the cheaper Brutix Navy Issue hull. We also boosted the Deimos in an earlier balance pass which has made the extra ISK cost for upshipping into the Astarte hull not feel as worthwhile as it once was. To help address this, we are giving the Astarte a small bump in rep power to help it stand out more as a tankier alternative to the Brutix Navy Issue.

• Armor Repairer bonus increased from 7.5% to 10% per level of Gallente Battlecruiser skill.

Nighthawk

Because the Nighthawk is overperforming in wormhole space and becoming oppressive, we are toning down on its damage by lowering the Rate of Fire bonus, but partially compensating it by increasing the Kinetic Damage bonus. Our aim here is to slightly lower the Nighthawk’s damage output and shift it more into Kinetic so players have more options to counter them outside of firewalls, such as fitting Kinetic Hardeners, Reactive Hardeners and bringing Tech II Gallente ships.

• Rate of Fire bonus for Heavy and Heavy Assault Missiles reduced from 10% to 7.5% per level of Command Ships skill.

• Kinetic Damage bonus for Heavy and Heavy Assault Missiles increased from 7.5% to 10% per level of Caldari Battlecruiser skill.

Exequror Navy Issue

The Exequror Navy Issue was the least used faction Cruiser in the game prior to Uprising. We are happy we managed to pull it out of the abyss it was in, but it’s now at the very top of the pile along with the Osprey Navy Issue and has become incredibly dominant.

• Medium Hybrid Damage bonus reduced from 25% to 20% per level of Gallente Cruiser skill.

Bellicose

The Bellicose continues to have low usage as both an Ewar Platform and a Combat Cruiser. With the changes made to Rapid Light Missiles, we want to make sure there are strong Tech I options for going all-out with medium missiles. This is why we are increasing the speed and powergrid output of the Bellicose, to help it stand out more against the Caracal as a speedier alternative for shield setups and help enable armor setups.

• Max velocity increased from 240m/s to 260m/s.

• Powergrid output increased from 700 tw to 780 tw.

Republic Fleet Firetail

Prior to Uprising, all 4 navy Combat Frigates (Comet, Slicer, Hookbill and Firetail) had similar usage, with the Firetail slightly trailing. Post Uprising, the other 3 ships have increased in usage considerably, but the Firetail has been left behind. We are adding a smaller falloff bonus to help boost the Firetail’s versatility, especially for Auto-Cannon setups.

• New bonus added, 5% bonus to Small Projectile Falloff per level of Minmatar Frigate skill.

Insurgencies:

• The closest Forward Operating Base, or Zarzakh, will now appear in the loyalty points section of the wallet when looking at Malakim Zealots or Commando Guri LP.

Modules:

• 🤝 It is now possible to pre-overheat modules while under the effects of jump cloak. (This is the temporary invulnerability and cloak you have from recently arriving in a new system from a Stargate, Shipcaster, Ansiblex or Wormhole.)

User Interface:

• Whenever an Insurgency campaign is won by the pirates, or the anti-pirates, that side will increase their ambition modifier by +1 if they currently have equal or more ambition than the other side.

• If an Insurgency campaign is won by the side with less ambition, it will reduce the ambition modifier of the other side by -1.

• The Ambition Modifier can go as high as +13, requiring a side to fully corrupt or suppress 20 solarsystems for victory or to make the FOB vulnerable.

• Information about the Ambition Modifier can be found ingame in the pirate insurgency guide page in the agency.

• Added a new insurgency filter to the starmap and the classic starmap.

• New Graphics, Audio and VFX have been added to Insurgency solarsystems and the pirate FOB to reflect the corruption and suppression state, campaign state and the Ambition Modifier.

  • As corruption goes up, stargates and stations will start to feature pirate billboards, electrical faults, fires, smoke, and clouds.

• Fixed a client launching issue on macOS 10.14. Please note that macOS 10.14 will be deprecated soon. You can find more information here: Updated System Requirements - Support for EVE Mac OS 10.14 and Below Ending 8 Feb 2024

Patch Notes For 2024-01-09.1

Features & Changes:

Exploration:

• We’ve made some changes to DED sites which can spawn in high-security space (Difficulty 1/10 through to 4/10). Some of those DED sites required keys to be acquired in order to activate certain acceleration gates to move on to the next room of the site. We’ve changed those rooms so now those acceleration gates no longer require keys, and now just require all the pirate NPCs to be killed in the room to progress to the next room. We’ve made this change because with the old keys, if a player warped out of the site, or was destroyed in the site, or simply decided to keep the key, then the site would then often be incompletable by other players and would still persist in the solarsystem until it naturally despawned days later, frustrating explorers who put in effort to scan it down. We’ve opted to only do this for 1/10 through to 4/10 for now to avoid altering PVP balance in the higher rated lowsec/nullsec DED complexes where players can get some level of safety in a site once they’ve made it through the gate that requires a key.

Patch Notes For 2023-12-12.1

Features & Changes:

Insurgencies:

The Ice Refinery Heist has been added as a new activity in the Pirate Insurgencies.

• Large, fleet-oriented sites that will spawn when corruption or suppression reaches stages 3 and 4. The Ice Heist will share the LP reward with up to 30 pilots before being diminished.

• The Ice Heist will allow T1, T2 and T3 ships of battleship size and below to enter. Depending on if you’re a pirate, opposing militia member, or a neutral player will determine where you land in the site. Neutral players will get a suspect timer on entering.

• To succeed in the Ice Heist, players will need to be within 5,000m of the new guided tanker objects, and using the radial menu, right click menu, or selected items, start ‘guidance’ on the tanker and it will start flying towards their factions' loading bay/scaffolding for extraction.

• Groups will earn 1 point for each tanker ship guided back to respective home bases.

• The first side to reach 10 points will be rewarded and will increase corruption/suppression accordingly.

• A tanker can only be guided by one player. The tanker will stop being guided if the ship guiding it is no longer within 10km or is destroyed.

• Be aware that there are opposing NPCs which will focus ships which are guiding tankers.

AIR Daily Goals:

AIR now presents Daily Goals, a perfect opportunity to gain rewards for activities you’re already doing or have something to do when you’re unsure what’s next!

• After each downtime, players are assigned a set of four daily goals, each aligning with distinct career paths: Explorer, Industrialist, Enforcer, and Soldier of Fortune.

• The set of goals is the same for all players each day.

• Successful completion of these goals rewards players with both ISK and EverMarks.

• Players who accomplish at least two of the four daily goals are additionally granted Skill Points.

• The AIR daily goal interface has been integrated into the AIR Opportunities window.

• ISK rewards are taxed by the player’s corporation and EM rewards are duplicated, giving the same amount of EM to the player as well as the player’s corporation.

• All unclaimed Corporation Projects and AIR Daily Goals rewards that are older than 30 days will be claimed automatically. This process will start in January 2024.

• AIR Daily Goals replaces the Daily Challenges system.

Corporation Projects:

• The Scan Signature project type has been updated. Now only the first successful scan of a particular cosmic signature by a particular character is recognized as a contribution to the project. This still allows multiple characters to contribute by scanning the same signature each, but each character can contribute to the project only once per particular signature.

Patch Notes For 2023-12-05.1

Features & Changes:

Events:

Winter Nexus Event!

• The Winter Nexus event has returned to New Eden! This in-game event will run until downtime on January 4th 2024.

• 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, Sansha combat boosters, and ice storm filaments.

• A new set of daily login gifts are available over the course of the Winter Nexus event including snowballs, ice storm filaments, new Aurora Universalis skins, 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 4th.

• 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. 

Universe:

• CONCORD has updated the security ratings of Villore, Bereye, Hek, and Parchanier to 0.9, 0.9, 0.8, and 0.9, respectively, following another security audit in these systems. CONCORD does not expect further updates in the foreseeable future.

• Several empire intelligence networks have been alerted to reported sightings of high-profile members of Arkombine arriving at The Fulcrum in Zarzakh.

Defect Fixes:

User Interface:

• Fixed an exception which prevented the corruption score from updating in the info panel for the solarsystem whenever pirates captured an insurgency site.

Universe:

• Security audits continue throughout core Gallente space, with CONCORD reporting that the security ratings of Villore, Arnon, and Parchanier have all increased to 0.8. Bereye, the Federation’s Judicial Branch capital, received an increase in Federal garrison numbers and saw its security rating rise to 0.8 as well. In the Minmatar Republic, Hek’s security rating rose to 0.7 as RSS paramilitary police troops arrived in large numbers.

Patch Notes For 2023-11-28.1

Features & Changes:

Universe:

• The continuing chaos brought upon by the Pirate Insurgencies has encouraged the Gallente Federation to carry on with their security audits, with Villore’s rating increasing further to 0.7. Navy strongholds, installations, and outposts have been constructed in Arnon and Parchanier to increase their defensive power as well, raising their security to 0.7.

• The Minmatar Republic, in response to the Angel Cartel insurgencies, has similarly built military facilities in Hek, raising its security status to 0.6.

Patch Notes For 2023-11-24.1

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

• Fixed an insurgency bug where after the pirates won, a FW Ihub could be invulnerable until downtime after the pirates gave it back.

• Fixed the glowmap on the Thrasher Fleet Issue’s boosters.

Patch Notes For 2023-11-23.1

Features & Changes:

Pirate Insurgencies:

• Increased the amount of suppression gained when the empire militias complete insurgency sites by 33%.

• Decreased forecasting time for future insurgencies from 48h to 24h.

• When a former insurgency FOB system ends the period of pirate occupancy after a pirate victory, it will now start at 100 points over the victory point threshold required to make the IHub vulnerable, instead of 500 points over the threshold.

• Pirate insurgencies will now only spread within the empire space controlled by their primary insurgency enemies. This means that the Angel insurgency will no longer spread into Caldari/Gallente regions, and the Guristas insurgency will no longer spread into Amarr/Minmatar regions.

• The factional warfare HQ systems for each empire (Onnamon, Intaki, Mehatoor, and Amo) have a base suppression level of 2 and can never drop below that level.

Universe:

• The dramatic appearance of the pirate insurgencies has caused the Gallente Federation to begin a security audit of some potentially vulnerable key systems. The Federation Senate headquarters system of Villore has been deemed insufficiently secure given its proximity to the warzone and relatively low security levels. Multiple new Federation Navy facilities have begun appearing in the Villore system and this increased Navy presence has caused the security status of Villore to increase from 0.5 to 0.6.

Patch Notes For 2023-11-22.1

Defect Fixes:

• Fixed a rare issue where solarsystem info panel would fail to display if the corruption/suppression service timed out when a client was trying to connect.

• The Caldari State have held military control of the newly built Samanuni to Athounon gate for an extended period of time thanks to the efforts of loyalist capsuleers enlisted with the State Protectorate.

Patch Notes For 2023-10-05.1

Features & Changes:

Events:

The Crimson Harvest has begun! This Blood Raiders themed event runs until downtime on Monday November 6th 2023.

• Limited time combat and hacking sites are appearing all over Highsec, Lowsec, Nullsec, and W-space, belonging to the opposing forces of the Blood Raider Covenant and the Order of St Tetrimon.

• Crimson Gauntlet and Tetrimon Base combat sites can be found in most areas of space. These sites should be approached with caution, and capsuleers are advised to fly a battlecruiser, battleship, heavy assault cruiser, or even more powerful vessels if they wish to investigate these locations. Rewards for looting the battleship NPCs found at the end of the sites include items that can be traded for isk, skins, boosters, clothing and more!

• Crimson Harvest Network Node and Tetrimon Network Node data sites are also appearing across New Eden. These hacking sites contain network node structures that can be accessed for great rewards!

• The Blood Raiders are capitalizing on the chaos erupting all over New Eden and are setting up more advanced bases in the warzone. Tetrimon loyalists are also deploying in the area to match their forces. These advanced versions of the combat and hacking sites can only be found within the areas containing the most heated fighting between Blood Raider and Tetrimon forces: the Blood Raider controlled systems within the Delve region and within the Eugidi, Angils and Hed constellations. These advanced sites are rarer and more challenging than the standard versions of the sites but they provide much greater rewards. Bringing a friend or two helps reduce the risk immensely, but beware of other capsuleers who may be searching for the same loot! 

• The most elusive and valuable strongholds of the Blood Raiders and Order of Tetrimon can only be found by obtaining a rare escalation from the advanced combat sites.

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

• Every day of the Crimson Harvest will bring devilish login rewards. Alpha and Omega players get separate rewards, with Omegas enjoying both sets every day, and upgrading at any time during the event unlocks all previous Omega rewards. The treats on offer include boosters, SKINs, EverMarks, a generous amount of Skill Points and more. Get prepared and plan ahead, as not only will there be rewards given every day to those logging in, the 25th login during Crimson Harvest will be rewarded with 250.000 skill points for Omega and 75.000 for Alpha capsuleers.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

• The Mamba, Mekubal and Metamorphosis can no longer enter NVY plexes in Factional Warfare.

• Removed a duplicate light drone trait element from the Mamba.

• The Zarzakh gate will now list what ships can enter when you try to take a capital ship through.

Patch Notes For 2023-10-03.1

User Interface:

The Character Select Screen has been updated to the Crimson Harvest theme for the upcoming Event.

Events:

Zarzakh:

• The Deathless continue to gain influence and mastery over the system of Zarzakh and have erected Deathless Retribution Emplacements around the ancient jovian stargates, The Fulcrum and the Deathless Construction Site at the sun. These new missile battery based sentry towers will attack any capsuleer with a retribution timer in their presence. The emplacements also have a limited amount of electronic warfare ability, and will target paint and attempt to break the locks of ships which incur their wrath.

Patch Notes For 2023-09-28.1

Features & Changes:

Events:

The Deathless is asking for help from Capsuleers to power up ‘The Fulcrum’ and unlock more of Zarzakh’s secrets. Capsuleers who choose to assist him will be given Deathless circle reward tokens which can be exchanged in loyalty point stores for early access to the new destroyer designs recently completed by the Guristas Pirates and the Angel Cartel, or sold for a profit at Angel Cartel and Guristas Pirates NPC stations.

• Venture into drifter hives, destroy the ancient drifter guardians at the end and collect elements from different hives to combine them into Coalesced Elements. Be aware that these sites are intended for groups of well equipped capsuleers and are very dangerous. Alternatively, entrepreneurs may be able to acquire them from the market from capsuleers who have already adventured deep into these hives.

• In all classes of wormhole space, probe down sleeper relic and data sites using the “Forgotten” and “Unsecured” site name prefix, and acquire Element Containment Vessels from relic sites, and Element Control Data from data sites. Be aware that these sites are guarded by Sleeper NPCs unlike other relic and data cosmic signatures so be prepared for combat.

• Once you have a Coalesced Element, an Element Containment Vessel and an Element Control Data item, travel to Zarzakh, and use the ‘access’ option now available to deposit all 3 together into the Fulcrum to recieve your reward - a deathless circle loyalty token.

• Your Deathless circle loyalty token can then be taken to any Angel Cartel or Guristas Pirates station, and used in the Loyalty point store for a 1 run BPC of the Mekubal or Mamba respectively.

• Alternatively, The Angel Cartel and Guristas Pirates will also reward capsuleers 5 million ISK for each Element Containment Vessel and Element Control Data they sell to them inside their stations, or 50 million ISK for each Deathless Circle Loyalty token.

• For those who wish to oppose The Deathless - The Society of Conscious Thought is also awarding 5 million ISK for each Element Containment Vessel and Element Control Data brought to their stations in Geminate.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Patch Notes For 2023-08-01.1

Features & Changes:

Factional Warfare:

"With the Uprising expansion, factional warfare space needed to be ready to handle a sudden influx of players looking to try out the new content, and so the availability of sites was tuned to prepare for that. This worked out nicely for the initial expansion as we didn’t run out of things for people to do. In the following months the initial wave settled into the new and healthy baseline of players we see today, and so we’re making some adjustments to the total number of sites in FW space to better fit the current environment. With this rebalance of site availability, we’re adjusting the relative frequency of Advanced to Navy sites, bringing those numbers a bit closer to even so it doesn’t feel so difficult to find things to do for those players looking to fly T2 or Pirate Faction ships in FW space. We’re also adjusting VP values to increase the relative value of larger complexes over smaller ones, as this should better reward the increased investment these sites often involve and drive conflicts over systems to a smaller number of critical objectives, encouraging fights and conflicts between factions looking to seize control."

Update Details

• Battlefield Victory Point value increased from 500 to 2,000.

• Victory Point Values of FW complexes have been adjusted to increase the relative value of larger complexes compared to smaller ones.

  • Scout and Small complexes have had their VP decreased slightly, while VP from Mediums and Large complexes has been greatly increased.

• Distribution of FW complexes has been updated.

  • Large and Medium NVY-1 sites are now roaming spawns. This should make it easier for a group to clear out the sites in a system for a little while without being overwhelmed by respawn rates.

  • Ratio of NVY to ADV sites spawns have been adjusted from a frequency of approximately 3:1 to slightly below 2:1. This should help to make it feel better to bring T2 and pirate faction ships into faction warfare space, increasing variety while still preserving the lower investment niche offered by the NVY sites.

  • The number of 5-player complex spawns has been reduced.

  • Overall quantity of FW complex dungeon spawns has been reduced by approximately 30%. For a given set of frontline systems, this will lead to an approximate average of 6.5 FW complexes per system, down from 8.5.

• Respawn rates of FW complexes have been increased from 15 minutes to 20 minutes in frontline systems, 40 minutes in Command Operations, and 60 minutes in Rearguard systems. Combined with overall increased Victory Point values, theoretical minimum system capture time remains about the same for frontline systems.

• LP Value multiplier in Rearguard systems has been reduced from 0.5x to 0.01x. Complexes in rearguard systems are primarily intended to be tactical objectives rather than profitable ones and this change should help to discourage automation (bots) without decreasing the tactical value of these sites.

• Distribution of Operations Centers has been greatly increased, there will now be approximately 2x as many in space. This should make it much easier to find these sites and acquire the items needed to construct propaganda beacons and listening posts.

Victory Point Changes

• Scout NVY: reduced to 25 from 50

• Small NVY: reduced to 50 from 60

• Small ADV: reduced to 75 from 80

• Medium NVY: increased to 150 from 100

• Medium ADV: increased to 175 from 110

• Large NVY: increased to 250 from 120

• Large ADV: increased to 300 from 150

• Open Complex: increased to 350 from 200

• Battlefield: increased to 2000 from 500

Miscellaneous:

• LP and EM Personal Donations 

  • We are pleased to announce that players can donate LP to any player-owned corporation.

  • Players can also donate EverMarks directly to their corporation or Executive Corporation of an Alliance if the corporation belongs to one. Donations are only possible if the player has been a corporation member for at least 30 days.

  • The same 30 days rule applies to Executive corporation donations. The corporation and the Executive corporation must be part of the same Alliance for at least 30 days to unlock EM transfers.

  • LP and EM donation functionalities are accessible via respectable Wallets.

  • Players cannot donate LPs or EMs to NPC Corporations.

Patch Notes For 2023-07-25.1

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

• Manufacturing Lancer Dreadnoughts will now be counted in the activity tracker for T2 Extra Large Ship Manufacturing.

Localization:

Salutations,  

The following page will list patch notes for feature updates & changes in the Viridian Expansion - 11:00 UTC 13 June. We invite you to join the player discussion about the content of this release on the EVE Online Discord and the EVE Online Forums. 

Expansion Notes 21.05 - EVE Online: Viridian

Corporation Projects

In this expansion we are targeting the corporations and their abilities to better manage themselves and to better express their identity. 

We are adding a new tool to to be able to give directions to their members where individual contributions can be tracked as the corporations works towards their collective goals.

The projects and their progress are visible to every member of the corporation and the progress for each of the goals are updated automatically when it progresses for most tasks or manually for custom projects which are called Manual projects.

• The following projects are available: 

  • Manual - A free form type project that is an empty canvas; it is flexible and can be used for any purpose, with the caveat that the tracking of progress is manual. 

  • Deliver Item - Members can be mobilized to deliver items to the corporation, for the purpose of anything from buyback programs to the corporation acquiring materials for large manufacturing jobs. 

  • Destroy Non-Capsuleers - Contributions to this type of project are made by destroying Non-Capsuleers, optionally in a specific solar system. 

  • Damage Capsuleers - In a PVP fight, a member can contribute to this project by dealing damage to another player; thus being recognized and rewarded for their effort without having to strike the final blow. 

  • Mine Ore - A project that can be used to incentivize mining in a specific solar system to for example raise its Industrial Index. 

• Corporation CEO’s and Directors have access to the Project Creation Tool which they can use to create up to 100 active projects. They also have access to a special tab for each project that displays each member's individual progress towards the goal of an active project and how much they contributed when the project is completed.

• Corporations with an office in either a Station or an Upwell Structure will have a new hangar called Projects. This hangar can have items dropped into it that are required to progress the Deliver Items project. Unlike other corporation hangars, this one does not have configurable access and is only accessible to either the corporation’s CEO or Directors. Other members have drop access only. 

• Projects can be linked in chat and other text fields by dragging and dropping. 

Air Opportunities 

This is a new interface which replaces the old Journal and is intended to be a counterpart to The Agency. Where The Agency is a catalog of content, Opportunities is the presentation of content available now and could be of interest to you. 

• The Projects Tab and the AIR Opportunities window are inherently linked. Clicking a Project within the Projects tab brings a member to the Project’s entry in the AIR Opportunities window. 

• For a corporation member simply looking for a Project to work on, the AIR Opportunities window will be their primary means of accessing Corp Projects. 

Corporation Loyalty Points

• Corporation Taxes which previously were only contributed by members via NPC bounties will now also automatically levy Loyalty Point payouts at the same rates as set by the corporation. Loyalty Points are contributed for all Loyalty Point payouts such as those granted through Factional Warfare, Incursions or mission rewards. 

  • EverMarks are excluded from this as they are granted to corporations at a 1 to 1 ratio when a corporation’s member receives EverMarks by any means.

• Corporations now have their own Loyalty Point wallet to account for their Loyalty Points. Loyalty Points can be spent in Loyalty Point stores by either the CEO or Directors and works in the same way as normal Loyalty Point Store purchases except the Loyalty Points and any required ISK are deducted from the Corporation Loyalty Point wallet or Corporation ISK Wallet respectively. Where an LP store purchase being made by a corporation requires the provision of an item in addition to an LP payment, that item must be located in the personal Item Hangar of the character making the transaction.

• Loyalty Points in corporation Loyalty Point wallets can be donated to any other corporation. 

  • EverMarks are excluded from being traded between corporations.

SKINR - Super-Kerr Induced Nanocoating Resequencer

• A new in game customization tool, the allows CEO’s, Directors, and the newly created role of Brand Managers to create Nanocoating designs by applying Nanocoating's of their choosing to different areas of Upwell Structures. Nanocoating designs can then be applied to any of the Upwell Structure that the corporation owns in exchange for EverMarks for a limited duration. 

• Once the purchase is complete, Nanocoating Designs are then applied to all selected structures for all capsuleers to enjoy, or not. 

• The Brand Manager role has access to all corporation customization options, for now that is SKINR and the ability to spend EverMarks through those options. 

• Starting in the week of the expansion there will be a new way to acquire EverMarks through the Daily Challenges which use a similar cyclical fashion of various activities you are used where those previously only rewarded Skill Points. This adds a more passive but less direct yielding way than Paragon Missions to acquire them.

Tax Reforms

We are making a series of changes to how some taxes are calculated to increase the value of corporation infrastructure as an income source. They will be in the following areas: 

1. Broker’s fee in Upwell Structures. Instead of a percentage cut, a fixed rate will be taken by the SCC, providing more ISK for facility owners.

2. Industry Job Installation Fee. Taxes will be applied directly on the estimated item value, allowing facility owners to have a meaningful income stream even in low indexed systems. 

3. NPC Stations / Monuments: Manufacturing and Research factors removal. Leveling the field and encouraging industry spread across systems.

Broker’s Fee in Upwell Structures  The goal of this change is to give more control, increase the value of income sources to corporations and to increase the competitiveness of facility owners with the market. 

• There will no longer be a 50% cut taken from the total broker’s fee paid in structure facilities. Instead, this will be reduced to a fixed rate of 0.5%.

Example: if you were to make an order of a cost at 100,000 ISK in a structure, where the owner has set the broker’s fee at 10%, the following amounts would be going to the following wallets: 

Industry Job Installation Fee  Investing in industrial infrastructure is very expensive, this is felt especially by new corporations that are starting to make their mark on New Eden. Established groups have little incentive to grant access to their very costly infrastructure due to the income from such a bargain being mostly meaningless to them.

The goal of this change is to address both of those problems, to create options for newer corporations to access infrastructure without having to fork out for it fully and to give incentive to those that decide to do so. 

• All taxes for industry jobs will be applied directly to the Estimated Item Value instead of the System Cost Index adjusted Estimated Item Value. 

This change means that facility owners in a low indexed system can set their taxes to a very low value but still gain a meaningful income while still staying competitive. 

• Adjusted industry facility tax in NPC stations to 0.25% from 10%. 

• Adjusted Alpha clone tax to 0.25% from 2%. 

• Added a 0.25% tax that goes to the SCC. 

• The maximum tax that can be set for industry services will be capped at 10%. 

• You can now adjust your fees to 2 decimal places rather than being limited to 1. 

• We will be setting all current Player Ownership Tax profiles to 0.25%. This will need to be adjusted by facility owners as they see fit.

This will vastly increase competitiveness for facility owners. Even with it set at 0.25% the fee will earn the facility owner substantially more ISK.

The Formula  The general formula changes to: 

TIF = EIV * ((SCI * bonuses) + FacilityTax + SCC + AlphaClone) 

Where: 

• TIF: Total Installation Fee 

• EIV: Estimated Item Value, the value upon which the fees are calculated 

• SCI: System Cost Index 

• Bonuses: Any bonuses that are applicable 

• Facility Tax: Fixed tax for NPC stations set to 0.25% or tax rate set by facility owner.

• SCC: SCC surcharge, this is a fixed value and cannot be affected by anything 

• AlphaClone: Tax applicable to alpha clones, set at 0.25% 

The following tables represent the ISK flow in both Player Owned and NPC Facilities:

Player Owned:

NPC Owned

NPC Stations & Monuments  System Index Cost modifiers have existed since the creation of the Industry index system, but they are difficult to understand and identify through in-game means. Every NPC station capable of industry reduces the System Cost Index by a percent, while Sov Null Security Outposts granted their system a large permanent reduction depending on their type.

This powerful bonus invisibly shaped player behavior, while largely remaining out of sight for those not familiar with the System Cost Index modifiers. Our goal with this change is to create more opportunities for aspiring industrialists.

• Removed all System Index Cost modifiers. This includes removing the bonuses that extra stations provided to a system, and the Upwell Support facility bonuses which were present in Null Security systems that had an Outpost prior to being converted to a faction Fortizar in 2016.

Temporary Sales Tax Holiday  The previously mentioned changes will have an impact where in the short term the installation cost to manufacture will be out of balance. To counter this impact, we are temporarily lowering the Sales Tax for all market transactions.

• Reduced Sales Tax for all market transactions by 50% from 8% to 4%.

Lancer Dreadnoughts

We are introducing a brand-new Tech II Dreadnought class: . These powerful behemoths are capable of firing the type exclusive Disruption Lances.

• Lancer Dreadnoughts have been added to the default overview settings, those who are using a custom overview will have to add Lancer Dreadnaughts to their overview settings.

Bane

Karura

Hubris

Valravn

Lances  Each Lancer Dreadnought will be able to equip a racially specific Disruptive Lance. Disruptive Lances are a smaller version of the Titan Lances, doing about 1/3rd of the base damage of a Titan lance.

• Disruptive Lances apply a suite of debuffs to any ship that it hits, including:

  • Not being able to tether.

  • Not being able to warp out, dock, jump, or use a stargate.

  • Receiving only 50% of incoming remote repairs. 

• Disruptive Lances will do a 10km AoE energy neutralize around the lancer ship that activates it, like Titan lances.

• Disruptive Lances will provide a similar set of debuffs to the lancer, such as not being able to tether, cloak, dock or jump for 5 minutes after firing.

• Disruptive Lances can only be fired while in Siege mode and ships with this module fitted are unable to activate cloaking devices.

Skill Requirements  We are adding 3 new skills with the Lancer Dreadnoughts. 1 for manufacturing them, 1 for flying the ship itself, and 1 skill for the new disruption lancers.

• Lancer Dreadnoughts [x16]: 2,500,000,000 ISK at all empire school stations 

• Disruptive Lance Operation [x14]: 500,000,000 ISK at all empire school stations 

• Advanced Capital Ship Construction [x16]: 500,000,000 ISK at all empire school stations. 

• The Lancer Dreadnoughts skill book will be required to fly the Dreadnaughts. In addition to the racial Dreadnaught skill at level V. 

• Disruptive Lance Operation is needed to use the new lances, each level of this will reduce capacitor consumption of the lances by 5% 

• Advanced Capital Ship Construction is required to build Lancer Dreadnoughts. Each level will reduce the manufacturing time by 1%. 

Industry Information  BPOs for the Lances can be found for 500,000,000 ISK in the appropriate empire school station for the respective racial lance. 

Lance Blueprint Material: Zydrine: 20,000  Megacyte: 25,000  Isogen: 20,000  Nocxium: 25,000  Mexallon: 40,000  Pyerite: 1,000,000  Tritanium: 1,500,000

• Blueprints to build the Lancer dreadnoughts, are acquired from running invention jobs on existing Tech 1 Dreadnought BPCs. 

T2 Dreadnought Material Requirements: T1 Dread - 1 [Factional] Capital Reactor Unit - 1,700  [Factional] Capital Microprocessor - 1,500  [Factional] Capital Capacitor Unit - 1,500  [Factional] Capital Sensor Cluster - 900  [Factional] Capital Thruster - 900  [Factional] Capital Armor Plate - 400  [Factional] Capital Shield Emitter - 400  Morphite - 4000  Construction Blocks - 2000  R.A.M.- Starship Tech - 100

• Lancer Dreadnoughts will have the same restrictions for Upwell Structures docking as regular Dreadnoughts do. 

• Lancer Dreadnoughts will only be able to be manufactured in Low Security, Null Security in an NPC stations or with an Upwell Capital Manufacturing Service online in Low Security, Null Security or Wormhole space. The same as existing Dreadnoughts.

The following rigs will reduce the materials and time required for Lancer Dreadnought production.

• Large Structure Rigs 

  • Standup L-Set Capital Ship Manufacturing Efficiency I 

  • Standup L-Set Capital Ship Manufacturing Efficiency II 

• XL Structure Rigs 

  • Standup XL-Set Ship Manufacturing Efficiency I 

  • Standup XL-Set Ship Manufacturing Efficiency II 

Marauders

Ever since the rework to marauders back in 2021, they have seen a huge increase in use and we are incredibly happy that Marauders feel rewarding to fly and are aspirational to pilots across New Eden. They have however, become very dominant in all areas of space.

In general Marauders have a very potent combination of:

• High damage.

• High tank, including allowing it to catch reps even in large scale fleet fights.

• High mobility, even though the bastion locks them in place, it has a short duration.

• High range.

• High application.

• EWAR resistance which prevents most counterplay options.

This results in them being rather good at everything and lacking in possible counterplay. Faster fleets can’t avoid their damage, smaller fleets struggle to break them, clever FCs can’t bring EWAR counters. The best counter to these ships is a capital escalation, which is not available to many groups, particularly smaller ones or all areas of the game such as wormholes or inside an ESS.

Bastion Module 

Our goal is to create new weaknesses and therefore opportunities for counterplay in PvP for Marauders where they currently do not have many. These changes would lean into the class identity as being strong but immobile and offer smaller ships the chance to play around a Marauder with EWAR tools that are currently often useless in the face of its EWAR resistance bonus. 

• Duration Increased from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.

• Removed the electronic warfare resistance bonus to Sensor Dampener, Tracking Disruptor, and Target Painter resistance. 

The ship continues to retain its incredible firepower, tank, range and application but will now have a few weaknesses.

Kronos 

The Kronos is currently the weakest performing of the Marauders. We are giving it an additional midslot in exchange for a highslot to give it more utility for close range brawling. We are also making a small tweak to its survivability by shifting some of the structure HP into armor HP.

• +1 Midslot, -1 Highslot

• Increased Amor HP from 7,900 to 8,500

• Decreased Structure HP from 9,500 to 8,900

Vargur

The Vargur is performing the best out of all the Marauders right now for solo and small gang use. We are making adjustments to decrease the power of triple X-Large Ancillary Shield Booster fits by lowering the shield boost bonus slightly, and moving some shield HP into armor HP. At the same time we are improving the flexibility of the Vargur by adding an Armor Repair bonus and an extra lowslot in exchange for a highslot to match the paradigm set by the Kronos. 

• +1 Lowslot, -1 Highslot 

• Decreased Shield HP from 8,300 to 7,800 

• Increased Armor HP from 7,300 to 7,800 

• 7.5% bonus to Shield Booster amount changed to 5% bonus to Shield Booster and Armor Repair amount 

Paladin 

Currently the paladin is extremely dominant compared to other Marauders in very large scale fleet fights. We are lowering the optimal range per level bonus slightly to reduce its dominance.

• Reduced Optimal Range per level bonus from 7.5% to 5%

Mass Changes to Marauders 

Marauders are particularly dominant in wormholes due to their high power to mass efficiency. We are increasing the mass to be closer to Black Ops battleships. This will mean that players will need to be slightly more cautious about the number of Marauders they can bring to a fight in J-space. 

• Kronos : 148,000,000 kg (+54,520,000 kg)  

• Vargur : 150,000,000 kg (+53,480,000 kg) 

• Paladin : 160,000,000 kg (+67,755,000 kg) 

• Golem : 157,000,000 kg (+ 62,665,000 kg) 

• Agility for all Marauders has been improved to keep align times at similar values. 

Battleships

We are adding some power to the Maelstrom and the Rokh, as they were both underperforming compared to the Hyperion and Abaddon. 

Rokh 

The Rokh Currently shares the 8/6/5 slot layout with the Maelstrom, which outperforms it as a shield brawler. By increasing it to 7 Mid slots, the goal is to give it more flexibility when Blaster brawling over the Maelstrom. At the same time, we are also giving it a bit more fitting space, and a much bigger Drone Bay, with a smaller increase to Drone Bandwidth, which will add to its utility, especially when up close.

Longer range fits will benefit from the extra utility or tank the 7th Mid slot provides, especially when combined with the Large Railgun buffs.

• +1 Midslot, -1 Lowslot 

• Increased Drone Bandwidth from 50m3 to 75m3 

• Increased Drone Bay 50m3 to 125m3 

• Increased CPU from 780tf to 810tf 

Maelstrom 

We are generally happy with the Maelstrom’s identity as a Shield Boosting brawling projectile platform, it just needs a bit more power. We are improving the Maelstrom's speed, Shield Boost bonus, and Scan Resolution. Both the velocity and scan resolution were a little on the slower side for a Minmatar ship, especially when compared to the Hyperion.

• Increased Shield Boost bonus from 7,5% to 10% per level 

• Increased Max Velocity from 94m/s to 115m/s 

• Increased Scan Resolution from 117mm to 125mm 

Large Railguns 

Large Railguns are severely underperforming compared to other battleship sized weapons. We are Improving them relative to other weapon classes to make them a more viable option and to help improve the viability of several underperforming ships - such as the Rokh and the Kronos.

• +15% bonus to Tracking Speed 

• +15% bonus to Rate of fire. 

The tracking increase will place Large Railguns between Large Beams and Large Artillery for tracking scores, the rate of fire increase will improve their DPS making them more attractive while not increasing their alpha strike capability for large fleet fights. 

Zero-Point Mass Entangler 

There was not a particularly strong reason for disallowing this module in High Security and Low Security as it was a legacy it inherited from the older HIC module.

• Zero-Point Mass Entangler can be used in High Security and Low Security

Homefront Operations 

Each requires a group of pilots covering specific roles from hacking to hauling. Be warned; unlike most other sites, Homefront Operations can be lost if your team fails to meet their set objective.

The goal of these sites is to bring new and experienced capsuleers together to do new activities, help to establish social connections and introduce fleet gameplay.

• Sites are located in empire owned High Security systems, mostly focused around trade hubs or Career Agent systems.

• The enemies, narrative, and specific goals of a site are dependant on which empire's space it is found within.

• Some sites introduce hostiles hailing from new traitorous corporations, splintering away from their empire.

Abyssal Artifact Recovery:  Valuable artifacts buried within asteroids have emerged from Abyssal rifts. However, they aren't all that has made its way to the cluster. Break apart the asteroids and grab whatever you can before the dwellers of the Abyss overwhelm you. 

Suspicious Signal:  Your target is protected by an array of specialized emitters. While they're active, it is invulnerable. Hack the array to temporarily disable these defenses and give yourself a chance to take out the target. 

Dread Assault: An allied Dreadnought was dispatched to eliminate a target. Unfortunately, hostile forces are neutralizing its capacitor and preventing it from firing. Boost its charge, keep the enemy at bay, and the dread will take care of the rest. 

Raid: An enemy base has been found containing items your empire would like recovered. Tackle and destroy any hostile haulers that attempt to escape. Bring a hauler of your own to aid in retrieving the items from their smoldering wrecks. 

Emergency Aid: Hostiles are attempting to destroy an allied target. Repair any damage and keep the enemy at bay long enough to secure the site. The hostile forces cannot be allowed to complete their objective. 

Metaliminal Meteoroid: An asteroid comprised of ore valuable to the war effort has slipped into Empire space. Your goal is to mine it out before it plunges back to Abyssal Deadspace. Be careful; hostile forces in the area will attempt to disrupt and delay your efforts. 

Improved Objective System  We have vastly improved the objective system for agent missions and sites. The new objectives have modernized visuals, contain dynamic information, and include helpful interaction states. 

These new objectives are featured in the Homefront Operations and we have also implemented them for all the Career Agent missions, making them much clearer and more accessible. 

Ecosystem & Industry Changes 

We are making a lot of quality-of-life changes to various aspects of the economy, as well as reducing some of the bottlenecks that currently exist, especially for capital production. 

The changes to the Capital Core Temperature Regulators and Neurolink Enhancers will lower the cost of all Capital Ships. We are also changing the PI consumed by the Life Support Backup Units and Auto-Integrity Preservation Seals from P1 to P2 planetary interaction commodities. This will make hauling the build materials for them much easier. 

Blueprint Changes:

Patch Notes For 2023-03-14.1

Features & Changes:

Events:

A brand new Factional Campaign has launched - The Shipcaster Shadow War

Capsuleers can choose to enlist for one of the major 4 empires in their efforts to steal technology from the other empires, master new Triglavian technology and then construct their own fully functional shipcaster.

• Content includes Hacking, Combat, Salvaging, Mining, Industry and PVP gameplay.

• Rewards include exclusive Penumbral Shadow ship SKINs for the faction that you choose to support, dozens of new boosters for each faction and more.

Players can sign up for a faction using the agency.

• You can preview the rewards for each faction before you choose to join them.

• Your choice will not impact what future campaigns you can participate in.

Research, Besieged Labs and Waylaid Courier sites can be found in lowsec in Factional Warfare systems controlled by each empire with their respective technology, as well as in high security space in and around the empires chosen HQ systems. Be aware, all sites will become visible on the overview when a capsuleer warps to them.

• Research Data Node hacking sites require core scan probes to locate, and you'll need a data analyzer to access the containers. These hacking sites are limited to Navy faction and Tech 1 frigates.

• Waylaid Courier Salvaging sites will require a player to destroy NPCs and have a fitted salvager module - due to the complexity of the encryption used for the classified courier wrecks, salvaging drones are not capable of accessing them. These salvaging sites are limited to Tech I and Faction destroyers, and Tech I, faction and Tech II frigates.

• Besieged Research Labs will require dangerous combat. Destroy NPCs which have reinforced an empire laboratory, and once you've cleared them out, destroy the lab and take the contents for yourself -  they can be completed solo but expect a challenge, you may want to bring friends. These dangerous combat sites are limited to Tech I and Navy battlecruisers, and Tech I, faction and Tech II cruisers, and all frigates and destroyers including Tech 3 and below.

• Steal and recover research data fragments, index files, decryption keys and datacore blueprints from these sites, manufacture datacores using the blueprints, and then turn them in to your faction for reward crates and event progression points used to unlock more rewards.

You can turn in the datacores at laboratories which have been setup in each empire's HQ system.

• Amarr - Mehatoor

• Caldari - Onnamon

• Gallente - Intaki

• Minmatar - Amo

Transport Relay research associated sites will be initially present in Caldari occupied factional warfare systems, and in the highsec around Onnamon - in the Aokinen and Minnen constellations

Stellar Transmuter research associated sites will be initially present in Amarr and Minmatar occupied factional warfare systems, and also including the highsec around Mehatoor and Amo - in the Kisana, Ryra, Tiat and Ani constellations.

• The locations of where these sites will be available will increase as each faction gains mastery over each research.

• These sites will give ALL capsuleers a suspect timer when taking the acceleration gate into the site, so be prepared for intense PVP action.

• Be aware that this means that legal combat can happen between otherwise friendly players, such as members of allied militias. You never know who might happen to be on someone elses payroll!

The Construction Phase will unlock once a faction completes BOTH the relay transport and stellar transmuter research projects.

• Once the construction phase is completed, the shipcaster will be complete!

Factional Warfare:

Direct Enlistment is now available. You are now able to join factional warfare militias as an individual without leaving your corporation.

• Corporations can choose to limit which factions their members can enlist for in the enlistment whitelist which can be found under the corporation menu under the wars section.

• To sign up, go to any station belonging the appropriate faction you wish to join, and selecting the 'enlist me' option in the factional warfare window.

• You can un-enlist at anytime in the factional warfare window.

• There is a 24 hour cooldown when un-enlisted before you can directly enlist again.

• Amarr and Gallente players will no longer be at war.

• Players in these groups will no longer be able to capture FW complexes in their former allies' warzones.
