Eager Capsuleers,

The newest narrative-driven expansion, Uprising, introduced new ships to command, the ability to proudly fly your colors with corporation and alliance emblems, a clear path to the warzone, immersive new Upwell hangars, and a series of Factional Warfare changes that usher in the future of war in New Eden. Just a week later, the Uprising continues with the latest update live today, which brings even more fresh content and refinements to EVE.

As of today, you and your fellow pilots now have access to the thrilling world of Factional Warfare battlefields, offering even more Uprising content to sink your teeth into. These new battlefields give pilots yet another way to embrace a distinct blend of action-packed combat.

HOW IT WORKS

The Factional Warfare battlefields let two teams battle it out over specified areas and will spawn across the cluster, with new openings appearing in The Agency and via the Factional Warfare interface. Use an Acceleration Gate to journey to the ...

Gladiatorial Capsuleers,

Alliance Tournament XVIII is fast approaching! This weekend, the qualified teams have been practicing hard to prepare for the annual bloodbath in the arena that will take place as the first of two weekends of combat, but before gazing at the explosions, it’s time to look at the epic prizes that are up for grabs this year – both for the competitors, and for those cheering on their teams.

Prize Ships

We know you’ve all been itching to see specifics for the prize ships for this year’s tournament. Earlier we had announced that we would rerelease the Mimir and the Freki and we still withhold that as a future possibility. However, the rewards this year will be two entirely new ships that take inspiration from the iconic Mimir and Freki and we’re delighted to be able to share their stats with you here today:

Geri:

Assault Frigate 5-4-4, 3 Missiles, 2 Turrets

10mbit bandwidth, 50m3 bay

Assault Frigate Bonuses per level:

• 7.5% bonus to Light Missile and Rocket Explosion...

Ambitious capsuleers,

Multiple Character Training (MCT) is now available at 50% off its full price over in the EVE store. The discounted price runs from 11-15 November, celebrating Singles Day.

MCT gives you the ability to simultaneously train and develop skills across multiple characters on a single account. As such, MCT presents an opportunity to bypass training one character at a time, letting you increase your potential and influence across the start cluster. Whatever your goals in New Eden are, this limited-time offer will get you to them faster!

MCT has also made its debut in the New Eden Store (NES)! You can finally trade PLEX for MCT, so if you have PLEX to spend, MCT offers a powerful return on investment for NES customers. Just like the one in the EVE Store, MCT cannot be traded, and may only be used by active Omega accounts.

Head to the EVE Store by 15 November to take advantage of the unmissable MCT saving.

Energized Capsuleers,

Fuel the frenzy during the Alliance Tournament XVIII with not one, but two 24-hour 1v1 Abyssal Proving Ground events, clashing capriciously in powerful cruisers starting at downtime on Saturday 12 November and finishing the weekend with frenetic Frigate combat on Sunday 13 November!

Loyal capsuleers,

EVE Online’s exciting new narrative-driven expansion is here and live now, so it’s time for you to choose your fight and join the Uprising! The introduction of brand-new navy dreadnoughts and destroyers brings even more variety to the battlefield as well as intimidating new visuals. In addition, the future of war arrives as Factional Warfare has received a significant update with the launch of the Frontlines and Advantage systems, focusing capsuleer efforts on emerging conflict hot spots. On top of all that, you can now fly your colors proudly in the warzone – and anywhere in New Eden - with corporation and alliance emblems on ships, which you can also enjoy in the incredible enhanced audio and visual environment of new Upwell hangars!

As the tensions have steadily but significantly escalated between the empires of New Eden in recent months, conflicts will continue to ignite across the cluster in the wake of the stellar transmuter accident and the invasion of Intaki. ...

Security Conscious Capsuleers,

As part of the Uprising expansion, we are making some important changes that will largely affect players in Highsec. The goal of these designs is to address the following issues:

• Griefing of new players and low value targets
• Risk vs Reward dynamic of Abyssal Deadspace filaments
• Shortage of legitimate player targets in high security space

To achieve these goals, we’ll be introducing the following new restrictions and limitations:

• Limit tethering for players with low security status in Highsec
• Docking restrictions for outlaws in high security space
• Changing the security settings for Alpha accounts and removing the option to disable safety (“Safety red”)
• Updated rulesets for Abyssal Deadspace filament activation

Griefing versus Ganking

It's important to distinguish between Highsec ganking and griefing. Highsec ganking is a valid and necessary playstyle, where players will 'suicide gank' high value targets and offset the loss of their ships from the loot...

Salutations spacefriends and welcome to another Community Beat.

Its been a hectic couple of weeks since the last Community Beat so without further ado lets jump in and see whats been happening.

Faruzen en Divalone : First Myrmidon Navy Issue Killed

It's not often that an opportunity arises to be the first at something in EVE Online, let alone document that achievement.

On 15th October the Myrmidon Navy Issue ship named 'Spirit of Serthoulde' belonging to Faruzen en Divalone was destroyed. This represents the first loss of a Myrmidon Navy Issue since they were introduced late last month.

At the time of its demise the ship had 15 killmarks in the service of the Gallente Federation. Check out its final moments in this video captured by Luka Zaharin.

Concerned capsuleers,

Last week, scientists who had been monitoring the progress of the Imperial Prototype Stellar Transmuter in the Turnur system raised the alarm that the star would reach a "terminal phase" around 17:00 New Eden Standard Time on 2 November, as covered in this news article and in the most recent episode of The Scope.

Planetary industry workers on Turnur I were evacuated from the planet and capsuleers were warned to proceed with caution upon entering the system, particularly around the projected “terminal phase”.

As the warning signs escalated, capsuleers across the star cluster watched with concern.

Consequently, the scientists’ fears were well founded and they were right to raise the alarm. At 17:00 New Eden Standard Time on 2 November, the planet closest to Turnur was scorched beyond recognition after being hit with intense radiation and superheated plasma from the star as covered on CCPTV.

Despite the warning and the risks, a large number of capsuleers deliberate...

The unstable stellar energies unleashed by the cataclysm in Turnur are beginning to affect capsuleer vessels within the system. The disaster also appears to have had a destabilizing impact on local space, increasing wormhole activity.

Hotshot capsuleers,

The Uprising expansion, officially landing 8 November, will unleash 16 new ships into New Eden! These new ships let capsuleers get behind the controls of some powerful new technology.

In recent weeks, pilots across the star cluster have already been collecting blueprints and uncovering new frigates and battlecruisers as part of Empire Frontiers, following the Triglavian Collective’s invasion.

Now, however, eight additional new ships for a total of 16 are due to be made available across New Eden, with each empire producing its own fresh frigate, battlecruiser, destroyer, and dreadnought variant. The result of countless hours of careful work making sure the debuting ships complement the world and balance of EVE, Uprising’s new vessels offer every kind of pilot tempting new options, whether you’re focussed on combat, industry, exploration, enforcement, or carving your own role.

Get a feel for the power that is coming:

Trick or treating capsuleers,

Something spooky is happening in the EVE Store and New Eden Store this Halloween. Devilish deals seem to have appeared as a special treat for capsuleers. In the EVE Store, you´ll find a range of PLEX packs with free Sanguinary Savant SKINs and select ones with a 13% discount! 13 might be unlucky for some, but not to the pilots of New Eden.

The PLEX deals are as follows:

• Get 250 PLEX and receive a free Punisher SKIN

• Get 500 PLEX and receive a free Punisher and Dragoon SKINs

• Get 13% off 1000 PLEX and receive a free Punisher, Dragoon, and Prophecy SKIN

Curious capsuleers,

Over the last several months, the race has been on amongst the empires to be the first to gain access to Stellar Transmuter technology by fighting for control over the Turnur, Egmar, and Vard systems and building upon this coveted technology.

However, concerns grow as the research into the Stellar Transmuters begins to have some unforeseen implications. As covered in the latest episode of the Scope, the Turnur system's star appears to have been destabilized beyond recovery by the activity of the Prototype Stellar Transmuter placed in orbit by the Amarr Empire. Stellar radiation emitted by the star has been fluctuating at ever shorter intervals, seemingly heading towards an imminent crescendo.

Scientists raised the alarm upon calculating that the interval between radiation spikes had been decreasing in a linear manner, indicating that a "terminal phase" would be reached at around 17:00 New Eden Standard Time on 2 November.

One leading theory about what may occur d...

Competitive capsuleers,

The Uprising expansion – a major new narrative-driven update for EVE Online – is just around the corner and in addition to getting a sneak peek to some of the features, you can participate in a mass test today that will allow you to display corporation or alliance emblems on your ship, which in the Uprising expansion will be the initial phase of Heraldry in EVE, first announced at Fanfest 2022.

To take part in the scheduled fleet fight at 17:00 UTC today, 27th of October, start by visit the Paragon Loyalty Points Store in the Jita Trade Hub beforehand (available starting at 15:00 UTC) where you will be able to obtain emblems for free to put on your ships. Once your colors are on display, activate a SKIN on that ship and get yourself to the FD-MLJ system at 17:00 UTC today to join the fight!

For more details on how to get involved check out this dedicated forum post.

Brave Capsuleers,

With Halloween Horrors haunting New Eden, the year’s spookiest Abyssal Proving Grounds (APG) event returns. The Crimson Harvest APG takes the form of a frigate free-for-all, and is set to deliver some terrifying action. This unique Proving Ground 28-31 October.

For this year´s Crimson Harvest APG, all ships that dare to enter will receive a bonus that increases Stasis Webifier Range by 40%, increased Energy Nosferatu and Neutralizer drain by 30%, improved Turret damage by 20%, and added an additional +500 base armor and hull hitpoints, while causing Energy Nosferatu modules to drain capacitor regardless of your own capacitor level.

Capsuleers will also find high numbers of exploding Bonus Nexus objects littering the Proving Grounds. These powerful spheres detonate when a ship comes into close proximity, triggering a blast that applies weapon and mobility buffs to your ship – but not your rivals’; unless they arrive at the Nexus within one-to-two seconds of you. That m...

Fantastic capsuleers!

EVE Vegas was this weekend, and with just over 200 official attendants it’s one of the largest player meets in North America. We were happy to attend and share with players a little bit of what we’ve been up to since Fanfest, and what they can expect with the Uprising expansion just around the corner in November.

We’ve been focusing on five pillars of gameplay. Firstly, giving players tools to create stronger organizations. We have also been working with players and the CSM to prioritize dozens of Quality of Life changes for all types of players, some of which you have seen, like changes to the SMA and COSMOS agents.

Next is more forward-looking, specifically what the future of warfare looks like, and creating systems and tools that help you all blow one another up. Enriching player identity through visuals like corporation and alliance emblems on ships has been another focus, allowing you and your friends to proudly display your space flags! Finally, investing in...

Combative capsuleers,

The Uprising expansion – a major new narrative-driven update for EVE Online – is coming in November and brings with it the biggest overhaul to Factional Warfare that New Eden has ever seen. The arrival of Frontlines will be a big change to how the empires' militias compete for control of the warzones on Tranquility.

To encourage participation during the testing period on Singularity and thereby obtain as much valuable feedback as possible on this new feature we are hosting a Frontlines Wargame on the Singularity test server with some cool rewards to be granted on Tranquility for individual capsuleers and player corporations who distinguish themselves!

The wargame will commence at 14:00 UTC on 26 October when Singularity becomes accessible to players after the initial state of the Amarr/Minmatar warzone on Singularity is set up and it will conclude at 14:00 UTC on 4 November when Singularity will be taken offline and analysis of the outcome will begin.

There will a...
