Patch Notes for 2026-10-06.1

Features & Changes:

Crimson Harvest:

The Blood Raiders have once again launched an assault on New Eden! This year, in addition to their normal harvest, Pochven has become a battleground.

• Capsuleers can choose to align with either the Blood Raiders or the Order of St. Tetrimon.

  • The Blood Raiders seek to learn the secrets of Triglavian biotech and establish a permanent foothold in Pochven.

  • The Order of St. Tetrimon seeks to thwart the Blood Raiders, and if they prove their fitness the Triglavians may retreat from some Minor Victory Systems in Amarr space.

• A capsuleer’s alignment also determines which SKINs they will receive as they progress the reward track.

• There is much more to earn within the reward track, such as a blueprint copy for the new Akoman Blood Raider Attack Battlecruiser!

• Capsuleers can earn tokens which can be exchanged at item traders for additional rewards:

  • Rewards include SKINs, new and returning Officer modules, remote armor repairer mutaplasmids, and more!

  • These traders can be found within Raravoss, Vale, Otela, Ahtila, Sakenta, Gammel, Sosala, Kamela, Anila, Ibani, Sakenta, and Shera.

• Pods will have a 50% implant drop chance. Outside highsec, capsuleer ships will drop 90% of their loot.  

• Crimson Gauntlet and Tetrimon Base combat sites now have a chance to become a flashpoint for the disruptions within Pochven:

  • Rifts may tear open, allowing Triglavians, Rogue Drones, and Drifters to spill out!

  • Destroying these invasions grants additional rewards.

  • Note: destroying these Triglavians will have no impact on your standings.

• In YC127, capsuleers suppressed the threat posed by Hollow Clones in Biocybernetic Incident sites. However, it appears the danger was not fully contained, and new outbreaks have been reported in Hollow Outbreak and Origin sites across New Eden.

• Recover Criterion Ciphers to access new Criterion of Fitness sites:

  • These sites offer capsuleers a chance to prove themselves to the Collective.

  • Three waves of challenges will be found within.

  • The more efficiently a wave is cleared, the more dangerous the following will be!

  • The greater the mastery, the greater the rewards.

  • Note: destroying these Triglavians will have no impact on your standings.

• New Pochven wormholes have begun appearing, acting as the staging points for both Blood Raiders and the Order of St. Tetrimon:

  • These appear within Blood Raider-controlled systems in the Delve region, as well as the Eugidi, Angils, and Essin constellations.

  • These wormholes function like normal Extra-Pochven wormholes, with escalating phases and roaming enemies.

• Daily login rewards include Skill Points, boosters, SKINs, and more.

• The Crimson Harvest escalates in the final week, with the reward track being extended.

• Localization for Crimson Harvest will arrive on Wednesday 10.07.2026.

Pochven:

• Rebalanced Drifter and Sleeper NPC lock times:

  • Most NPCs will now lock significantly slower.

  • Drifter Cruisers will now lock faster.

Patch Notes for 2026-09-22.1

Cradle of War Major Update

Features & Changes:

Force Projection and Ansiblex Jump Bridges:

Major changes have been made to Ansiblex Jump Bridges. Full information can be found in the Force Projection dev blog.

• Ansiblex Jump Bridges now use capacitor, with a total capacity of 1250 TJ.

  • Average recharge equivalent: ~200 TJ every 60 minutes.

  • Total recharge time from 0: ~6.25 hours.

  • The Ansiblex capacitor uses the same non-linear recharge model as ship capacitor.

  • The Ansiblex capacitor is not affected by remote capacitor transmitters or energy neutralizers.

• Each ship class now has a capacitor cost, ranging from 1.00 TJ for capsules, shuttles, haulers and freighters up to 19.00 TJ for Marauders and Rorquals. Full per-class values can be found in the Force Projection dev blog.

• Ansiblex capacitor cost is calculated from the distance between the endpoint of the jump and the owning alliance's capital system, divided into five zones:

  • Zone 1 — 0 to 5 LY from the capital system: 0x multiplier (free).

  • Zone 2 — 5.1 to 10 LY: 2x multiplier.

  • Zone 3 — 10.1 to 15 LY: 6x multiplier.

  • Zone 4 — 15.1 to 20 LY: 9x multiplier.

  • Zone 5 — 20.1 LY and beyond: 15x multiplier.

  • Because cost is based on the endpoint, jumps back toward the capital system cost considerably less than jumps away from it.

• Removed the ability for Access Control Lists (ACLs) to grant Ansiblex Jump Bridge access to pilots outside the owning alliance.

  • ACLs can still limit who within the owning alliance can use an Ansiblex. This allows alliances to restrict access to Ansiblex Jump Bridges that they want to reserve for strategic operations or limit for any other reason.

  • Restricted Ansiblex use to capsuleers in the alliance that currently holds sovereignty over the system containing the starting point of the jump.

• Removed the ability for capitals to use an Ansiblex Jump Bridge.

  • Rorquals, Freighters, and Jump Freighters can still use Ansiblex Jump Bridges.

• Reduced the total number of Tenebrex Cyno Jammers per system to 1, down from 3.

Factional Warfare & Insurgencies:

Insurgencies:

• Reduced the armor reinforcement timer for the Insurgency Forward Operating Base (FOB) to 3 hours, down from 24 hours.

• Reduced the Insurgency FOB armor timer variance to 1 hour, down from 3 hours.

  • This means the Insurgency FOB now rolls a timer between 2 and 4 hours when reinforced.

• Reduced Insurgency length to 7 days, down from 14 days.

• Increased the Insurgency forecasting period to 48 hours, up from 24 hours.

• Reduced the maximum ambition modifier to 5, down from 15.

  • This means that at maximum ambition, a side must win 10 systems, down from 20.

• Reduced the corruption level at which Insurgencies spread to 3, down from 4.

• Increased the maximum contribution LP payout for winning to 1,500,000 LP, up from 464,300 LP.

• Increased the contribution payout multiplier for winning to 1x, up from 0.75x.

• Reduced the contribution payout multiplier for losing to 0.4x, down from 0.5x.

• Increased the personal corruption or suppression needed for maximum contribution payout to 45%, up from 15%.

• Reduced the Ice Heist LP payout to 150,000 LP, down from 160,000 LP (the same as Factional Warfare (FW) Battlefield sites).

• Increased the Ice Heist respawn time to 4 hours, up from 3 hours (the same as FW Battlefield sites).

• Changed Ice Heists and Battlefields to persist their respawn times across downtime.

• Made the Ice Heist tanker immune to stasis webifiers.

• Changed Mining Ambush ADV-10 to Mining Ambush ADV-5, which now scales rewards up to 5 players. No other changes have been made to the site for now.

• Added a new site, the Moderate ADV-3, an Insurgency variant of the Moderate NVY-3 complex found in FW.

  • Spawns at stage 2.

  • Static complex.

  • 60-minute respawn (90-minute respawn in stage 5).

  • Generates 52,500 LP.

  • Creates 1.5% corruption or suppression.

  • Grants a 20% bonus to Battlecruiser per-level skill bonuses, as the FW Moderate does. (Note: this does not apply to bonuses from the Command Ships or Expedition Command Ships skills.)

• Increased the corruption and suppression generated by Small ADV-1 and Small ADV-2 sites to 0.25%, up from 0.2%.

• Increased the corruption and suppression generated by Medium ADV-1 and Medium ADV-3 sites to 0.5%, up from 0.4%.

• Reduced the respawn time of Small ADV-1 and Medium ADV-1 complexes to 15 minutes, down from 20 minutes.

• Changed the Large ADV-1 complex to a static complex with a 40-minute respawn. The same number will spawn per day, but they are now more reliable for pushing corruption or suppression in specific systems.

• Reduced the respawn times of multi-player payout sites in stage 5 corruption/suppression systems.

  • The LP earned per hour should be roughly the same once the Moderate ADV-3 site is included.

We're making several adjustments to Insurgencies, turning them into more of a chaotic race where both sides look to win instead of focusing solely on maximizing the payout from the sites themselves.

To that end, we're redistributing some of the value from the individual sites into the overall reward for winning the Insurgency, while also making changes to the Insurgency mechanics themselves. At maximum contribution, players will now earn more than 4x as much LP as before from the final payout. Additionally, since the 1-character sites generate the same amount of corruption and suppression as the multi-player sites, solo players and smaller groups will see larger amounts of LP if their side wins.

For the Insurgencies themselves, we're reducing the maximum length from 14 days to 7, reducing the ambition modifier from 15 to 5, and increasing the corruption and suppression generation of Small and Medium sites by 25%. Further, we're making the Large ADV-1 site static for groups that want more agency over the Insurgency's spread. Lastly, we're adjusting the FOB reinforcement timer, reducing it from 24 hours to 2 to 4 hours. We've seen players effectively prolong the Insurgency by self-reinforcing their FOB and then letting it repair, trying to hold the Insurgency in stasis while earning rewards. An incredibly clever tactic, for sure, but one that reduces gameplay options.

With a tighter timeline, backstabbing your own allies now carries a higher cost and may cause the Insurgency to time out. Overall: more agency, more content, and a renewed reason to fight.

Factional Warfare:

• Changed all frigate and destroyer NPCs found in Scout and Small FW complexes to drop tags rather than midshipman insignias.

  • These tags are used in FW LP store offers for frigate-sized ships and modules. The midshipman tags were previously only sold for ISK.

• Removed the Small Interceptor-1 complex.

• Added a new Small AF-1 complex.

  • Only allows Assault Frigates to enter.

  • New Assault Frigate NPCs spawn here, with a rare chance to drop military campaign boosters and Penumbral Shadows SKINs.

  • Static complex in Command Ops systems with a 40-minute respawn time.

  • Roaming complex in frontline systems with a 20-minute respawn time.

  • 25,000 LP Base (37,500 LP in a Frontline).

  • 150 Victory Points.

  • Be warned: all NPCs in this complex will have warp disruptors fitted!

Pochven:

• Reduced the optimal fleet size for Observatory Flashpoints to 12, down from 15.

  • The per-pilot payout is unchanged.

  • This results in a 20% reduction in total payout value.

  • The amount of EDENCOM Data from the structure is unchanged.

• Increased the optimal fleet size for Vigilance Points to 12, up from 10.

  • The per-pilot payout is unchanged.

  • This results in a 20% increase in total payout value.

  • The amount of Vigilance Point Data loot from the structure and officer NPCs is unchanged.

• Doubled the damage that Stirring NPCs in Vigilance Point sites deal to drones.

Both the Observatory Flashpoint and Vigilance Point sites had a mismatch between their difficulty and reward, though coming from opposite directions.

Decreasing the optimal fleet size for an Observatory Flashpoint will increase the overall per-pilot ISK reward while increasing the challenge for those who don’t overfill the site.

Increasing the optimal fleet size for Vigilance Points should open the site up for a broader range of fleet comps and help bring the site’s value more in-line with other content. To offset the increased viability of drone boats, the anti-drone Stirring NPCs will deal more damage when attacking drones.

• Increased the number of roaming NPC fleets within the region.

• Improved the AI used by roaming NPCs that were not spawned by a wormhole.

• Extra-Pochven wormholes have been changed:

  • Reduced the time between phases to 30 minutes, down from 60 minutes

  • Increased the warp-in point to 75 km from the wormhole.

  • Added new "scout" roaming NPCs that spawn when the wormhole is first warped to.

  • Changed roaming NPCs to linger for a time after their corresponding wormhole has closed.

Several changes have been made to increase the amount of roaming NPCs found in the region. These NPCs are a unique part of Pochven, with players able to join in with large NPC battles or lurk and wait to salvage.

• Intra-Pochven wormholes have been buffed:

  • Increased the base mass stability of these wormholes to 750,000,000 kg, up from 100,000,000 kg.

  • Increased the base lifetime of these wormholes to 12 hours, up from 4.5 hours.

The initial version of intra-Pochven wormholes were both too temporary and too mass limited for groups to make good use of. They have been buffed significantly to encourage locating and securing these backdoor paths in the region.

Wormholes:

C1-C3 Combat Sites:

• Each site has been given a full visual upgrade.

• Replaced many Large Collidable Objects with Non-Interactable Objects to reduce overview clutter.

• NPCs have had their AI updated:

  • NPCs will now split their targeting (both damage and EWAR) between different capsuleers.

  • NPCs will no longer attack drones.

  • NPCs will make better use of microwarpdrives.

  • NPCs will more intelligently orbit and warp around a site.

• Objectives have been added to the Info Panel to show progress within the site.

• The pop-ups that appeared when warping to a site have been replaced with one-off Aura transmissions.

• Changed Unsecured Frontier Receiver sites so that capsuleers must destroy, rather than simply attack, the Sleepless Defender to spawn the fourth wave.

These sites are some of the first content a player may come across when exploring wormholes. As such, we wanted to update the visual fidelity of the site, while modernizing them to be more similar to other anomalies and complexes. The new NPCs should be a bit less clunky to interact with, and behave more like those found in more recent content and in event sites.

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

• Decreased the drop rate of hybrid drones by 50%.

• Increased the amount of Fabricator data by wormhole class:

  • C1-C3: 33% increase.

  • C4: 25% increase.

  • C5/C6: 20% increase.

• Added new LP store offers within Pochven that accept Fabricator data in exchange for exclusive items:

  • Hybrid Drone Specialization skill book:

    • Increases Hybrid Drone damage by 3% per level.

  • Radical Drone Link Augmentor Mutaplasmid:

    • -30% / +50% CPU.

    • ±20% Drone Control Range bonus.

  • Radical Drone Navigation Computer Mutaplasmid:

    • -30% / +50% CPU.

    • ±20% Drone/Fighter Speed bonus.

  • Radical Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancer Mutaplasmid and Radical Omnidirectional Tracking Link Mutaplasmid:

    • -30% / +50% CPU.

    • ±20% Drone/Fighter Falloff bonus

    • ±20% Drone/Fighter Optimal Range bonus.

    • ±10% Drone/Fighter Tracking Speed bonus.

    • ±10% Fighter Explosion Velocity bonus.

    • ±10% Fighter Explosion Radius bonus.

  • Each offer is available at all stations owned by the Triglavian Collective.

The value of Hybrid Drones dropped significantly from when the site was first introduced. As such, the ratio between Hybrid Drone value and Fabricator Data value has been adjusted. A larger portion of the overall value was focused in Hybrid Drones for low class sites, so their Fabricator Data increase reflects this.

New outlets for the Fabricator Data have been added to give those running the site an alternative to raw ISK. The new mutaplasmids offer the potential for powerful Abyssal modules, while the skill book lets players specialize with the versatile Hybrid Drones.

• Increased the range at which NPCs warp to and engage ships.

• Made NPCs immune to warp disruption.

• Reduced the damage Interdictors take from NPCs to 20% of normal.

A common tactic for running the site had players position outside the Fabricator’s range while keeping a few tanky ships within to keep the site alive. To keep the site more engaging, NPCs will now travel much further beyond the stability range to attack their foes. This goes hand-in-hand with the Interdictor damage scaling to help encourage contesting these sites.

• The time between waves now scales based on the previous wave's difficulty tier:

  • Low: 18 seconds.

  • Moderate: 15 seconds.

  • Severe: 12 seconds.

  • Critical: 6 seconds.

• Prior to wave 5, the time between waves will always be 6 seconds.

The time between waves was a frequent pain point for players. The time is intended to allow enough time to end the site, but it did not adjust based on the relative power of the present ships. Now, players can spend less time waiting and more time shooting!

• The transmission that appears when destroying the Fabricator before wave 100 will not show in subsequent sites.

• Changed Info Panel objectives to remain visible after the Fabricator is destroyed.

• Changed the Duration timer to begin only after wave 5 has started.

• Added dedicated Market sections for Hybrid Drones.

Ships:

Assault Frigates:

• Harpy:

  • Increased the Small Hybrid Turret optimal range bonus per level of Caldari Frigate to 15%, up from 10%.

  • Replaced the 10% Small Hybrid Turret optimal range bonus per level of Assault Frigates with a 5% tracking speed bonus.

• Valravn:

  • Increased Shield EM resistance to 45%, up from 25%.

  • Increased Shield Thermal resistance to 40%, up from 30%.

  • Increased Armor EM resistance to 80%, up from 70%.

  • Increased Armor Thermal resistance to 50%, up from 43.125%.

Marauders & Black Ops:

A few years ago, the mass of Marauders and Black Ops ships was increased to make them less efficient in wormholes. After several balance passes to both Marauders and Black Ops, and new content added to wormhole space, we’re reducing the mass values of all Marauder & Back Ops Battleships as follows:

Note: Inertia Modifier values have been scaled to maintain align times.

• Kronos: 118.4 million kg, down from 148 million kg.

• Vargur: 120 million kg, down from 150 million kg.

• Paladin: 128 million kg, down from 160 million kg.

• Golem: 125.6 million kg, down from 157 million kg.

• Babaroga: 114.4 million kg, down from 143 million kg.

• Marshal: 112.5 million kg, down from 150 million kg.

• Panther: 111.6 million kg, down from 148.8 million kg.

• Python: 106.3 million kg, down from 141.7 million kg.

• Redeemer: 112.7 million kg, down from 150.3 million kg.

• Sin: 106.3 million kg, down from 141.7 million kg.

• Widow: 113.3 million kg, down from 151.1 million kg.

Babaroga:

• Reduced the number of Zero-Point Field Manipulators used to manufacture the ship to 4,800, down from 6,666.

• Reduced the number of Zero-Point Field Manipulators received when reprocessing the ship to 2,400, down from 6,666.

  • These values are still divisible by 3.

Miscellaneous:

• Vigilant:

  • Increased the Medium Hybrid Turret falloff bonus per level of Gallente Cruiser to 15%, up from 10%.

• Phobos:

  • Increased the Medium Hybrid Turret optimal range bonus per level of Heavy Interdiction Cruisers to 15%, up from 10%.

Skills:

• New characters are now created with additional skills injected at level 0 covering the ships and weapons of the other three races.

• The total number of Skill Points granted at character creation is unchanged. New players will no longer need to purchase the racial Frigate, Industrial, and Small Turret skills before branching out into other races' ships.

Balancing:

• Increased the cost of declaring war on a corporation or an alliance to 500,000,000 ISK, up from 100,000,000 ISK.

  • Existing bills remain at 100,000,000 ISK; any new bills issued and any new wars use the updated cost.

We’re not completely happy with highsec wars and want to create more breathing room for smaller corporations and to somewhat discourage ‘carpet bombing’ of war declarations. The cost of declaring war has not changed in a very long time. In early 2019, The formula was simplified and was set to the previous average price, which itself had not changed in almost two decades https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/war-war-sometimes-changes.

This new cost should still leave some cost recovery possible from destroying structures (Astrahus Quantum Cores are worth 600,000,000 ISK), but it will cut down on the profit to be made from knocking down a corporation's first Athanor, and make issuing a large number of war declarations more costly, encouraging war groups to better select their targets.

Technical:

• Stage 1 of updating all Python code to Python 3.

• Details can be found in: DEVBLOG: The Move to Python 3 begins.

Patch Notes for 2026-08-20.1

Features and Changes:

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

• The Fabricator will now be invulnerable until wave 5 has been completed.

• The Fabricator, Nanoswarms, and NPCs will now be immune to Smartbomb damage.

• Disruptive Lances will now deal only 5% damage to the Fabricator, Nanoswarms, and NPCs.

• Vorton Projectors will now deal 10% damage to the Fabricator, Nanoswarms, and NPCs.

• Nanoswarms can now be repaired.

Smartbombs were previously disabled within these sites. They were enabled again with a signficant damage penalty so they could be used in pvp scenarios. Unfortunately, this led to performance issues as players were incentivized to spam Smartbombs to overcome the damage reduction. NPCs have now been made fully immune so Smartbomb spam is no longer encouraged.

Disruptive Lances were missed when other AoE effects were being nerfed within the site so have been given the same damage reduction as Bombs.

Vorton Projectors are a much more limited AoE effect, and as such have had their damage reduction scaled back a little. The site mechanics play strongly into their niche, so we will continue to monitor and adjust so they can feel powerful without entirely trivialising the content.

Defect Fixes:

User Interface:

• When creating a corporation or alliance the UI window updates again as expected.

Patch Notes for 2026-08-19.1

Features and Changes:

Missions & NPCs:

• Updated backend data processing for agent missions.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Patch Notes for 2026-08-17.1

Patch Notes for 2026-08-11.1

Patch Notes for 2026-08-06.1

Features and Changes:

• The Avalon Flotilla has come to Hirtamon. This landmark site houses the Avalon itself, a roaming fortress, forged by the Vanguard to offer all warclones the one thing they most need: a home.

• The Amarr's Blessed Exchange campaign has received enough support for them to begin construction of the Deaconry of Economic Oversight. Extending from the existing Amarr VIII (Oris) - Emperor Family Academy station it marks the first signs of their potential success.

• The Deaconry will be visible from orbit, as all modest Amarrian buildings should be.

Localization:

• Added localization for the new Khanid Cyber Knights SKINs

Patch Notes for 2026-08-05.1

Features and Changes:

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

• Increased the staggering time when spawning an NPC wave.

• Added a new NPC to the site, the Infested Drone Naglfar, with the following behavior:

  • Only spawns during large Severe and Critical threat waves.

  • Is equipped with a Capital Energy Neutralizer.

  • Has far greater EHP and DPS than existing Fabricator NPCs.

  • Is vertical

Note that this NPC is equivalent to several battleship-tier NPCs. While the overall DPS of a wave will largely remain the same, the Infested Naglfar spawns will be more focused on specific targets rather than being spread out. This, combined with its powerful neutralizer, will mean logi will need to stay on their toes.

The average number of NPCs spawned during later Severe and Critical threat waves should see around a 10-15% decrease in NPC numbers to compensate for the Infested Naglfar. We've also increased the staggering time when a new wave spawns, and these two changes will help balance the load in later waves where the Rampant Drone Fabricator would sometimes fail to progress.

We've been really impressed with the various strategies that groups have taken to complete the Rogue Drone Fabricator site, and we're excited to see them further develop. Let the Rogue Drone annihilation continue!

Miscellaneous:

• New Khanid Cyber Knight SKINs have been added

Patch Notes for 2026-07-30.1

Features & Changes:

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

• Added additional staggering when spawning large numbers of NPCs to improve performance.

Defect Fixes:

Miscellaneous:

• Minmatar Pilot Expert System is now displaying the correct icon.

Patch Notes for 2026-07-28.1

Features & Changes:

Operation Avalon:

• Item traders for Operation Avalon have been removed.

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

• Stability can now only be lost from wave 5 onwards.

Some players were deliberately starting and abandoning sites to force them to despawn. Now, a site can only become abandoned after wave 5 has been started. As a bonus, this change also gives players a chance to leave and refit their ship if they notice they forgot something.

• Rebalanced NPC spawns to favor larger ships.

In effect, this lowers the amount of ships in a wave without changing the overall DPS. There should be fewer Frigate and Cruiser NPCs and more Battlecruiser and Battleship NPCs. On average, this should result in a 10-15% decrease in the number of NPCs during later waves.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

• Making Mounts of Molehills (2 of 10) can now be completed by mining Veldspar-0-Grade.

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

• Fixed an issue where the site could become stuck after all NPCs are destroyed.

User Interface:

• Fixed FPS drop when opening Opportunities Window.

• Fixed issue that caused titles to obscure a character’s name when looking at their show info window.

Patch Notes for 2026-07-23.1

Features & Changes:

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

• Added the Rampant Drone Fabricator site back to C1-C6 wormhole systems.

• Increased the maximum wave to 100 (from 30).

• The site will now escalate threat level based on a point system, dubbed "Rampancy", determined by the ships in proximity to the Fabricator.

  • The first escalation, equivalent to the previous Battleship Escalation, occurs at 12 Rampancy.

  • The second escalation, acting as a new middle escalation tier, occurs at 36 Rampancy.

  • The final escalation, equivalent to the previous Capital Escalation, occurs at 72 Rampancy.

  • The current Rampancy value will appear in the Info Panel objectives between waves.

  • The threat level of the upcoming wave will now appear in the Info Panel objectives between waves.

  • Each ship will add an amount of Rampancy as shown in the table below:

Rampancy allows players much more control over the level of risk and reward they want to take on. Given these sites are now exclusive to wormholes, Rampancy also plays into deciding how to make the best use of available mass in wormhole connections. The thresholds have been set so most setups prior to this change will continue to face the same level of difficulty.

• The total quantity of Fabricator Data accrued within the Fabricator will now appear in the Info Panel objectives.

• Reduced the ECM strength of NPCs.

• Destroyer-sized EWAR NPCs will now use Sensor Dampeners rather than ECM.

  • Note: These NPCs will appear with the "Bewildering" prefix.

• Battlecruiser-sized EWAR NPCs will now use Target Painters rather than Stasis Webifiers.

  • Note: These NPCs will appear with the "Scrutinizer" prefix.

• Added four new Nanoswarms:

  • Light Squadron Nanoswarm (Light Fighter Damage Bonus).

  • Rapid Squadron Nanoswarm (Fighter Velocity Bonus).

  • Focuser Nanoswarm (Turret Optimal Range Bonus).

  • Prolonging Nanoswarm (Missile Flight Time Bonus).

• Nanoswarms will now be vulnerable during the following waves:

  • 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, 45, 65, and 85.

• Drone rewards can now begin dropping from wave 1.

• Reduced the per-wave drop chance of drones.

• The average drop quantity of drones will now scale as the wave count increases.

  • Note: In effect, while these drones will drop more rarely, the quantity will scale much higher. The resulting average number of these drones dropped by wave 30 has slightly increased.

• All sizes of TP-I, SD-I, and TD-I Hybrid drones have been added as possible drops.

  • Note: These drones have a significantly lower drop rate than the existing drone types. They have been added as an addition and will not dilute the existing drone rewards.

• Increased the damage applied in C5/C6 sites.

• Smartbombs are no longer blocked within proximity of the Fabricator.

• Smartbombs, Bombs, and Vorton Projectors will now deal 95% less damage to the site's NPCs, Nanoswarms, and Fabricator.

Bombs were being used to clear waves almost instantly, regardless of the wave number. To avoid having to block the modules themselves, the damage of AoE effects has been reduced significantly when applied to NPCs and objects within the site. This allows players to use these weapons in any PvP that occurs within the site while still requiring active gameplay to progress it.

• Decreased the additional damage applied to Carrier ships to 40% (from 50%).

  • Note: Command Carriers will receive the full 100% damage increase like other Capital ships.

• Decreased the site's respawn timer.

• The Fabricator can now be repaired.

• Improved the visuals of the site.

• Updated the icon for Rampancy Data Dump commodities.

• Updated various messages for better clarity and to reflect the site's evergreen status.

• Fabricator NPCs are now separated into overview groups based on their hull sizes.

  • Note: These groups are part of the default Overview, but will need to be enabled for existing custom Overview settings.

Universe:

• As the Minmatar Republic’s ‘Starkmanir Restoration’ campaign starts to show early signs of initial success, the first group containing the most hopeful Starkmanir settlers have arrived in the Minmatar War HQ system of Amo, preparing to eventually resettle their historic home of Starkman Prime (Currently registered as Arzad II) if their campaign is a success. The other six tribes have pledged escort fleets to Starkmanir’s settlers, providing security to any Starkmanir pilgrims traveling to Amo, and will eventually escort them to Arzad if the campaign is a success.

Pochven:

• The site of the Urhinichi Continental has been given a permanent landmark to commemorate the best view in the region.

3rd Party Developers:

ESI:

• Fixed an issue where newly created characters, corporations, or alliances could be incorrectly reported as non-existent on ESI until the next server downtime if their ID had previously been queried via ESI.

Patch Notes for 2026-07-14.1

Features & Changes:

Universe:

• The Caldari ‘State Corridor Initiative’ celebrates early success as they reach 11 of the 30 completed objectives needed to realize their campaign ambitions. Stargate projects in the systems of Ienakkamon and T-LIWS have started entering the construction phase.

• The Gallente Federation’s ‘Operation Rogue Edge’ equally celebrates similar success, almost achieving 10 of the 30 completed objectives needed to get a firmer grasp on rogue drone technology. Stargate construction in Renyn has also entered the construction phase, with potential pair locations being surveyed in the Ellmay and Jufvitte solar systems.

Patch Notes for 2026-07-09.1

• The equipped title is not visible anymore in the selected item window of a structure that’s being controlled.

Patch Notes for 2026-07-07.1

Features & Changes:

Operation Avalon is here!

Avalon Investigations:

Avalon Investigations will begin appearing throughout Empire space, from high to null-security systems. Additional investigations can be activated by Vanguard warclones as they complete Expeditions. Ongoing investigations appear both in the Map and the Opportunities window, under the Interstellar Events category.

Roaming Haulers and Hidden POIs:

Within these investigated systems roaming haulers, AEGIS Squalls, will travel between new sites and hidden POIs. Haulers have a variety of valuable loot in their cargoholds. Hidden Points of Interests include:

• Hacking sites

• Salvaging sites

• Combat sites

Hidden POIs can only be located by scanning down haulers as they visit these locations, and contain much more valuable rewards.

Standard Sites:

In addition to the hidden POIs, standard versions of these sites can be found both as anomalies and cosmic signatures. While their rewards are not as high as their hidden variants, they are much more common and make for a reliable way to increase influence within the system.

Influence will be increased with every site completed. Once 100% influence is achieved, a special site containing additional rewards will appear. Completing this site will bring the investigation within the system to an end. Keep an eye out for the AEGIS Director and their exclusive Aralez combat drones!

Avalon Traders:

Vanguard Resonant Cyphers can be found in all sites and the roaming haulers. These tokens are highly sought after by Avalon traders, who will be more than happy to exchange them for unique rewards! These traders can be found throughout New Eden in the following systems:

• Amarr

• Sifilar

• New Caldari

• Kinakka

• Poitot*

• Dodixie

• Ostingele

• Rens

• Hadozeko

• SL-YBS

*Did you know Poitot is the only named system in Syndicate?

The items that can be acquired from traders include:

• Volatile Boosters - extremely short-duration boosters with powerful effects.

• Poteque 'Prospector' Salvaging SV-906 - an Implant that boosts Salvage retrieval by 6%.

• New Vanguard-themed SKINR components.

• Breach Control - A new faction damage control that can be activated in a pinch to reduce incoming Breacher pod damage for 120s.

• A Unique Vanguard-themed character background.

Seasonal Challenges:

Capsuleers can complete various challenges to progress the Season reward track. Rewards for progression include Skill Points, Arkombine Arisen SKINs, boosters, and more. The final reward provides a Capsuleer with a Ranking Vanguard Resonant Cypher. This special token can be exchanged at the previously mentioned traders for additional rewards:

• Salvation Arkombine Arisen SKIN.

• Aeon Arkombine Arisen SKIN.

• Lorharyth’s Modified Inertial Stabilizer - a brand new Officer Inertial Stabilizer!

Daily Login Rewards:

Each day, capsuleers can log in to receive additional rewards. These include more Skill Points, Arkombine Arisen SKINs, boosters, and more!

  • Reduced the number of NPCs present from 6 NPCs to 4 NPCs.

  • The NPCs will now take more than twice as long to respawn.

  • Added a new effect to the site, which will always be present, which gives all Tactical Destroyers a +500 bonus to Shield, Armor and Structure hitpoints so players are more incentivized to bring them over other destroyer hulls without limiting smaller ships through gate restrictions.

• Battlefields have been reverted to their previous state before the Cradle of War expansion.

  • Freighters will no longer spawn.

  • LP payout increased from 50k to 150k.

• Slightly increased the NPC respawn timers for the scout BSC-1 occupier spawner, with a slower respawn time for NPCs when Offensive plexing for a better balanced Oplex vs Dplex time.

• You no longer need to set safety to red to use Micro Jump Field Generator modules in lowsec, since these module effects don’t cause suspect or criminal flags even when they effect other players. They are now usuable with full green safety.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

• Fixed an issue where saving a new custom probing formation would break the probe scanner window account wide.

Patch Notes for 2026-06-25.1

Features & Changes:

Balancing:

• We are continuing to closely monitor how the Military Campaigns have been progressing and have decided to make further adjustments for upcoming Objectives. In general, the rate of how much a individual can personally contribute to an objective's community progress is being increased, allowing for players who want to commit more effort to their faction to be able to make meaningful progress.

• Adjusted the mass of the HISC-99 Ice Heist Tankers so that they are now much harder to bump far away in the site.

• Adjusted the agility of the HISC-99 Ice Heist Tankers so they have similar acceleration times as now when linking to the objective and guiding it to the goals with the additional mass.

Military Campaigns:

• Slightly increased the amount of Imperial and Republic Intelligence Exfil sites available for Amarr and Minmatar bulwark systems to account for them having slightly fewer bulwark systems. They now have the same amount of sites as Caldari and Gallente available.

Balancing:

Defect Fixes:

Audio:

Gameplay:

• The final 3 freighters now spawn slightly earlier at 98% in FW battlefields, to fix a rare issue with them sometimes not spawning if the site is captured on the same tick.

• Fixed the Average Frontier Deposit wormhole mining site sometimes having the asteroids much further away than intended based on the direction of the sun in the system.

• Fixed the non-interactable asteroid in the Isolated Core Deposit wormhole mining site having a larger radius than the model size, which was stopping players from cloaking in the dungeon while not being close to the asteroid.

• Fixed defect with the Vision of Greatness causing NPCs to spawn very far away.

Patch Notes for 2026-06-19.1

Features & Changes:

Balancing:

We've been closely monitoring how Military Campaigns have been progressing and processing the feedback you've provided. We have decided to make some adjustments for upcoming Objectives.

We've changed the values in future Objectives to require fewer total participants. This means that we've also redistributed the payouts so that an individual completing their personal contribution will make more ISK.

This update will only apply to new Objectives revealed over the course of the Campaign, starting with those appearing from 20 June.

Overall we're really happy with the commitment and engagement we're seeing from Capsuleers and want to ensure that Campaigns feel interesting, fair and rewarding. Since this a new and fairly dynamic system we'll continue monitoring feedback to see if there are any other adjustments needed going forward.

Kybernauts,

Totality Day is here, marking six years since the Triglavian Collective forged the Domain of Pochven. In that spirit, a gift* has been left for you in the New Eden Store!

Inside your Triglavian-themed crate you’ll find fireworks, SKINR components, a new character background, and 10 free PLEX!

*This gift is available to all of you who played for 12 hours or more between 13 October 2025 and 12 October 2026.

Triglavian SKINs in the NES

While you’re in the NES, you can further honor the Collective by picking up Triglavian SKINs, available for individual purchase for a limited time.

The Azdaja Extirpated line, introduced last Totality Day, now extends to Triglavian Tech II hulls, from the Nergal assault frigate all the way up to the Babaroga Marauder.

The Kybernaut Clade SKINs, released by the propagandists of Intriguerre to declare allegiance to the Collective, and the Blackfire Steel SKINs, whose dark steel and red highlights echo the fiery black heart of Triglavian ships, are also available with a 40% discount!

Now is the time to complete your collection and stand out in a fight.

Get these SKINs until 20 October:

Triglavian Pilot Expert System

If you want to get a feel for the Collective’s vessels, you can choose from a multitude of Triglavian ships to fly, and the NES is now offering a new Triglavian Pilot Expert System, which gives access to a 51 skills and unlocks the ability to fly 6 different Tech I Triglavian sub-capital ships for 7 days.

Triglavian ships are renowned for their Entropic Disintegrators, which ramp up damage the longer they stay locked on target, backed by resilient armor tanking and dedicated hulls for remote repair. With their distinctive Abyssal design, they reward pilots who commit to the fight.

This is a fantastic way to try out Triglavian vessels before committing to the full training queue. The Expert System will remain available in the future as well.

Totality Day Twitch Drops

From today until 11:00 UTC on 17 October you can obtain the Totality Day Accelerator by watching any of the Drops-approved Twitch channels (and that's most of them!) for four hours, so connect your EVE and Twitch accounts and check out some great EVE content!

The Totality Day Accelerator grants +13 to all learning attributes for 72 hours - a number which is appropriately divisible by three in addition to providing a nice boost to your skill training speed!

Happy Totality Day!

Capsuleers,

The Crimson Harvest is raging, and the conflict between the Blood Raiders and the Order of St. Tetrimon shows no signs of slowing down, with the Triglavians caught up in the carnage as well.

The last day to begin logging in with a chance to claim the big Skill Point haul is 13 October, so make sure you don’t miss out. The day 21 haul gives Alphas 75,000 SP, and Omegas an additional 250,000 for a grand total of 320,000 SP. In total, the track awards 125,000 SP to Alphas, and 525,000 to Omegas, for a whopping 650,000 SP in all!

Capsuleers who upgrade along the way will also receive all previous Omega rewards retroactively from the beginning of the event.

On 27 October, the conflict will intensify and the seasonal track will extend, bringing even more rewards, so start tackling the different sites available today. From familiar, returning combat and exploration sites and Hollow Outbreaks, to new Criterion of Fitness sites, there’s something for capsuleers of all experience levels.

Blood Raider and Tetrimon Crimson Mark SKINs are obtainable by logging in every day and through the seasonal reward track for completing event challenges, alongside other loot including Skill Points, SKINR components, boosters, and cerebral accelerators.

As usual during the Crimson Harvest, PvP combat becomes just that bit more exciting, with 90% loot drop now live – but only outside highsec. In addition, pods continue to have a 50% implant drop rate everywhere. This adds even more risk and reward to the chaos.

If you need help to tackle the many activities on offer during the Crimson Harvest, perhaps even moving on to the more challenging and lucrative sites, updated Community Fittings are now available.

If you’re looking for more help, capsuleers across New Eden have already put together excellent community guides and videos to get you through any stumbling blocks.

Save Now

Crimson Harvest Packs have landed in the EVE Store, providing Omega, PLEX, Skill Points, Sanguinary Savant SKINs, themed SKINR components, and more, while select PLEX purchases also include Sanguinary Savant SKINs.

In addition, you can spend your PLEX on individual Sanguinary Savant SKINs in the NES.

Keep your scanners active for further EVE Store offers, and Crimson Harvest Twitch Drops as Totality Day is just around the corner.

Now is the chance to log in, gear up, and reap your share before the Harvest reaches its crescendo.

Capsuleers, 

The Blood Raiders have begun their harvest, and this time they have developed a taste for Triglavian blood. Using the recent instabilities in the nature of space to push into Pochven, they are set on establishing a permanent foothold, while the Order of St. Tetrimon does everything within its power to stop them. If the Blood Raiders are victorious, they will continue to have a presence in Pochven. If the Order of St. Tetrimon are victorious, the Triglavian minor victory status will be cleared from some systems in Amarr space. The stakes are high, so it is time to choose your side and get into the fight. 

The Crimson Harvest runs until 3 November, bringing combat and hacking challenges to every corner of New Eden, with opportunities for capsuleers at every level of experience. Take on seasonal challenges, reap daily rewards, and hunt for valuable loot. 

At the end of the seasonal track, a brand-new prize is waiting: a blueprint for the new Akoman Blood Raider attack battlecruiser, which will, for now, only be obtainable as a part of the Crimson Harvest. Also, new officer modules will be part of the rewards claimable at item traders. 

Take a look at some of the terrors flooding through the bloodgates: 

Choose Blood or Order 

Once again, capsuleers must decide whether to support the Blood Raiders or the Order of St. Tetrimon, earning points on a seasonal reward track determined by their allegiance. 

Side with the Blood Raiders to earn Blood Raider Crimson Mark SKINs for the Damavik, Vedmak, Drekavac, and Leshak, or choose the Order of St. Tetrimon and deck out the Nergal, Kikimora, Ikitursa, and Leshak with Tetrimon Crimson Mark SKINs. These particular SKINs can also drop from Crimson Harvest event sites. There are also Blood Raider Crimson Mark and Tetrimon Crimson Mark SKINs for different hulls that can be claimed through daily login rewards. 

The Triglavians have challenges of their own. Recover Criterion Ciphers from Crimson Harvest combat and exploration sites to unlock the new Criterion of Fitness sites: timed solo encounters across three waves, where faster victories bring greater challenges and bigger rewards. The Criterion of Fitness sites can be found across all space, including nullsec, Pochven, and wormholes. Destroying Triglavian NPCs in Criterion of Fitness sites will not affect Triglavian Collective or EDENCOM standings. 

The Shadows of the Past 

Not every outbreak from last year's Crimson Harvest was eradicated. Upwell-themed Hollow Outbreak sites return among destroyed Avalanche wrecks, in three levels of difficulty. 

Class 1 Hollow Outbreaks can be found in highsec, wormholes, and Pochven, and are geared toward Tech I frigates, making them the perfect starting point for rookies engaged with the AIR Career Program. 

Class 2 sites appear in highsec, lowsec, Pochven, and wormholes, and are open to Tech II frigates and Tech I destroyers, as well as anything smaller, for even greater rewards. 

The most dangerous Class 3 Hollow Origin sites can be found in lowsec and Blood Raider-controlled nullsec in Delve, where capsuleers can take anything up to a Tech III tactical destroyer into the fight. Keep an eye out for automated shuttles escaping the sites carrying extra loot. 

The Bloodshed Spreads 

The familiar Crimson Gauntlet and Tetrimon Base combat sites return, and can erupt into unexpected confrontations as Triglavians, Drifters, or Rogue Drones emerge through unstable rifts.

You will not lose standings when destroying these Triglavians, though positive Triglavian and EDENCOM standings can still be earned when defeating the Drifter and Rogue Drone enemies. Even combat sites in highsec can escalate into tougher encounters with greater rewards. 

Explorers will find returning hacking sites throughout New Eden, including nullsec, with more challenging sites in Blood Raider controlled systems in the Delve region and the Eugidi, Angils, and Essin constellations. Keep an eye out for a bonus Triglavian container to hack – its contents can include particularly rare and valuable loot. 

New Pochven-style wormholes have appeared in Blood Raider regions of lowsec and nullsec, defended by Triglavian, Blood Raider, or Tetrimon forces. Attacking Triglavian forces guarding these wormholes on the lowsec and nullsec side will result in a drop in standings with the Collective. Blood Raider and Tetrimon forces also roam Pochven itself. 

And wherever capsuleers clash outside highsec, destruction is especially lucrative. During the Crimson Harvest, 90% of items from ships destroyed in PvP drop as loot outside highsec, while pod kills have a 50% chance to surrender their implants. 

Reap the Rewards 

Every challenge you complete brings you closer to the greatest prize on the seasonal track: a blueprint for the Akoman, the first pirate attack battlecruiser, pairing battleship-sized weaponry with quintessential Blood Raider design – taking everything its target has. In addition, Mutated Blood Sample containers that drop throughout the event can be turned in at a number of item traders for highly desirable rewards including blueprints for new officer modules and existing faction modules, new remote armor repair mutaplasmids, as well as SKINs, SKINR components, boosters, and accelerators. 

Logging in throughout the Crimson Harvest also unlocks daily rewards, including Blood Raider and Tetrimon Crimson Mark SKINs for Triglavian ships, boosters, cerebral accelerators, and a major Skill Point cache on day 21. 

Crimson Harvest Packs have landed in the EVE Store, providing Omega, PLEX, Skill Points, Sanguinary Savant SKINs, themed SKINR components, and more, while select PLEX purchases also include Sanguinary Savant SKINs. 

In addition, you can spend your PLEX on individual Sanguinary Savant SKINs in the NES. 

With Totality Day on 13 October, expect some Triglavian-themed surprises and offers to come! 

Be prepared, because the Crimson Harvest will escalate as October draws to a close, with extra rewards added to the seasonal track. 

Whether cutting your path through combat sites, cracking open hidden containers, fighting through Pochven, hunting fellow capsuleers for their loot, or taking your first steps into seasonal events, there is blood to spill and rewards to claim for the entire month. 

Choose your allegiance. The bloodgates are open.
