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:

• Fixed a typo in the Advanced Capital Ship Construction skill.

• Added traits to the Stratios Emergency Responder

• Corrected the Dagon traits to include missing 5% Armor Repair amount per level from Minmatar Carrier. It has always had this bonus, it was just missing from the traits.

• Removed obsolete information from traits on the Entosis link modules that suggested fitting one would increase your base mass. This was an old penalty which was removed a while ago.

• Adjusted Orca traits slightly to be more consistent. -5% reduction in cost changed to 5% reduction in cost to match the consistency of how other traits are displayed.

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: 

Capital Core Temperature Regulator Blueprint 

• Integrity Response Drones: Decreased from 100 to 25 

• Self-Harmonizing Power Core: Decreased from 100 to 25

• Core Temperature Regulator: Decreased from 70 to 50

Ecosystem

• Jump Freighter wrecks now have an access difficulty of -10 to match all other T2 Ships. 

We are making Capital Ship Components easier to export and import. 

• Reduced Volume from 10,000 m3 to 2,000 m3 

We are increasing the availability of the content that drops the Capital Ship control items. 

• Increased spawn chance by 100% for the following sites: AEGIS Capital Ship Security Facility, AEGIS Secure Transfer Facility, AEGIS Capital Construction Forge, Overmind Nursery Grove.

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.

• They are best heard when zoomed in on the ship.

Turret impact sounds have been enhanced.

• Turret impact sound prioritization is now better calibrated during large scale battles.

Patch Notes For 2022-12-15.1

Features & Changes:

Events:

The Winter Nexus event has returned to New Eden! This ingame event will run until downtime on January 3rd 2023.

• 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 sets, 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 and Sansha combat boosters.
• A new set of daily login gifts are available over the course of the Winter Nexus event including snowballs, ice storm jump filaments, new Aurora Universalis skins, Sansha combat boosters, and up to 510k skill points. Players can receive all of these rewards by logging in at least 13 days between now and January 3rd.
• In addition to the above fantastic gifts, a brand new expert system has been included which will allow all players, including alpha accounts, the ability to fly an Endurance and fit a Ice Mining Laser to mine ice for 4 days. 
• Keep an eye out for multiple wintery Abyssal Proving ground events over the next month, including 1v1 T1 Cruisers with T1 modules only from December 16-19, a T1 Destroyer with T1 modules FFA from December 30 - January 2, and a 24 hour only 2v2 Battleships arena on January 7th - January 8th. All of these proving events will feature a special set of environmental effects that increase afterburner speed bonuses by 100% and reduce heat damage suffered by overheating modules by 50%. The battleship 2v2 will feature a repeatable challenge that grants 100 million ISK for doing 10,000 damage in the arena.
• The Chilling Spree snowball challenges have returned, providing bonus SP each day for launching festive snowballs at other players in a game-wide snowball fight!
• Get your hands on the brand new Yoiul's Ascent fireworks available in the Daily Login Campaign, season reward track and from loot! 

Miscellaneous:

Alliance and corporation emblems are now available on the following 186 ships:

• All Cruisers
• Mining Barges (T1 and Exhumers)
• All remaining Destroyers
• Non-Capital Industry
• All remaining Frigates
