Illustrious Capsuleers,

Caldari Union Day is upon us once again with more gifts, rewards, and content than ever before. This annual event celebrates the strength of both the State, and the Caldari Workers Union. Union Day also serves as the time where all eight Caldari megacorporations will come together to host a planning summit for the following year.

This year, the State will be holding a friendly competition between megacorporations for the rights to Jita 4-4's security contract. The corp that wins the contract will become the new protectors of Jita, standing proud at the gates of New Eden’s commercial centre! As a Capsuleer, you can join up as a corporate champion for corp that best represents you. Help them win the contract in the Union Day activities while winning yourself some unique rewards along the way!

The celebrations begin now, running for 12 days through until 6 September.

Economical Capsuleers,

As any seasoned pilot will tell you, upgrading to Omega gives you the full EVE experience. And from 20-to-22 August, you can get 15% off the regular price of Omega over at the EVE store[secure.eveonline.com].

That’s a massive saving, and one that doesn’t come around too often. So, if you want to taste the full EVE Online experience – or make a great saving while extending your existing Omega Clone state time – this sale offers a perfect opportunity.

Omega lets you unlock double skill training speed, access advanced pilot skills, take the reins of a wide range of EVE's best and biggest ships, make use of the full contracts system of trading, and much more besides. Put another way, it lets you do more and experience more in EVE Online.

You can also spend PLEX to buy Omega time, and enjoy all those gains. Head to the New Eden Store between 20 and 22 August and you can get 15% off of 1 month or 12 months of Omega.

Welcome back to the Beat!

We often say that EVE players rock our world. Since our last Beat, that has actually been quite literal! CCP Studios, based in Reykajvik, has played home to some serious geological activity in the last two weeks. After a series of earthquakes, the Geldingadalir volcano became active once again. If you’d like to bring some Icelandic ambiance into your homes, check out the live coverage of the activity below:



But we’re not going to be stopped by some pesky lava! This week we take a look back at some developer chats, marvel at AI inspired art, and look forward to some player events in and out of game. Let’s get to it!


Text-to-image generators have been all the rage this summer, and players have been creating everything from great memes to jaw-dropping art. Over on Twitter, Veetor – who you may know as the creator of the Abyss Tracker[abyss.eve-nt.uk] - fed some screenshots from the Abyss through MidJourney and came up with some amazing shots...

International capsuleers,

http://www.eveonline.com has now launched in Korean, elevating the EVE experience for all Korean-speaking players; and growing the community for pilots globally.

Going forward the EVE Store, EVE Academy and EVE News will all be available in Korean. Meaning the full suite of supporting content is now translated. What’s more, the AIR Career new player experience now has a Korean language voice over.

The new translation of the EVE Academy and AIR Career program also makes EVE more welcoming for the global Korean speaking audience. Attracting new players is always a plus for all that play EVE, making for a bigger, more vibrant global community.

To celebrate the Korean language update, two new starter packs have also been introduced, bringing players a range of SKINs inspired by Korean culture, and they’re available to all players globally.



The Cosmic Fire Pack lets new pilots light up New Eden with a selection of those SKINs, plus Skill Points, Omega, PLEX, pilot ... Read more

Warzone Capsuleers!  

It’s been several months since Fanfest, where we announced major updates to Factional Warfare. Since then, there has been a lot of progress made to bring some of the ideas discussed during those presentations and roundtables to life. For those that want to revisit this topic from Fanfest, you can watch the EVE – A Living Universe Presentation here.  

There are a lot of exciting elements when it comes to Factional Warfare, and here you can get an update on how things are progressing on the frontlines of development as we march towards introducing these features later this year.   

For those looking to dive in on these topics, tune in to the CCPTV stream tomorrow [www.twitch.tv](4 August) at 15:00 UTC with CCP Psych & CCP Aurora!

When the exploration of Factional Warfare began, one major thing that was considered was the scale of warzones as they are currently very spread out. When each system is essentially the same as the next, and the optimal strategy ... Read more

Devoted Capsuleers,

Amarr Foundation Day is here and it’s time for a free-for-all in the Proving Grounds. Four Capsuleers will enter, but only one will leave a victor! Choose from the Tormentor, Punisher, or Executioner and fit it with meta 0 modules, meaning Tech 1 only and no named modules. This event runs from 5-8 August so there’s plenty of time this weekend to have some Proving Grounds fun.

To bring newer Capsuleers up to speed, be sure to use your Amarr Foundation Day Expert System from your daily gifts during the Foundation Day celebrations to get Amarr Frigate 5 and all the skills you need to win!

To spice up the combat, during this proving ground event a large Tachyon Cloud with a 40km radius will be located in the center of the arena. Ships located within this cloud will receive an additional bonus that increases velocity by 200%, decreases ship inertia by 50%, and increases signature radius by 100%.

And as always, further restrictions apply to how you can fit your ship to en... Read more

Zealous Capsuleers,

Prepare to raise the banners high, dust off the theorycrafting spreadsheets, and blow the war horn. The time for the next Alliance Tournament will soon be upon us as we return for the 18th time!

Alliances will once again be sending up to ten of their most versed combatants to fight it out in the arena for glory and epic prizes. They’ll be broadcasted out to the rest of the cluster with their teams and the EVE community cheering on for their conquest! Experienced Casters and Commentators also will be joining us to help break down the tournament content for viewers and (hopefully) assist with who they would put their channel points on to win even more prizes!

Today's announcement will primarily highlight the key dates in the next few months to help everyone schedule around the Tournament a little better. They will be summarized in bullet point fashion at the end of this article as well. Also, as is tradition, we will outline a few of the changes and smaller det... Read more

The seven-day festivity takes place from 2-to-9 August, with pilots from across New Eden encouraged to make the pilgrimage and join in with the many events that make Foundation Day an unforgettable celebration. The deep faith and towering might of the Amarr empire must never be forgotten!



What can you expect to find at this year’s Foundation Day?

Pilots that log in for five of the national holiday’s seven days will be able to claim a number of themed items and Foundation Day essentials. There are separate rewards for Alpha and Omega pilots – and if you’re an Omega you get both.

Expectant capsuleers,

EVE’s Summer of Streams is set to continue, with a wealth of unmissable content due across August, following on from a packed July[www.eveonline.com] filled with CCPTV broadcasts, dev blogs, and Q&As.

Summer of Streams gives you a chance to get closer to the development and evolution of EVE, welcoming you behind the scenes as the dev teams share what they’ve been up to, and where things are going. And in August they’ll be sharing more insights on Faction Warfare, Frontlines, the development of arcs, the narrative-driven design approach, and more.

You can find all the current and future dev blogs here on EVE News[www.eveonline.com], while the streams take place over at CCP TV[twitch.tv]. For all the times, dates and latest updates, meanwhile, EVE’s official Twitter feed is the place to keep an eye on.

But what exactly is happening in August? Here’s the current schedule:

Looking back at nearly 20 years of EVE’s player data can be quite the journey, and there’s nothing we love more than discovering what you get up to each day in New Eden. Even one player across a single year can leave quite an impact, as you can see in your end of year personalized videos:


This week 28th of July at 14:00 UTC, CCP Bjorn will be doing a CCP TV stream[www.twitch.tv] looking at what we can all learn from EVE Player Data, to follow the EVE Data & Analytics presentation from Fanfest 2022. That particular presentation highlighted the player data from the event attendees, showing their effect on EVE while exploring general gameplay statistics for their characters.

For those that that missed it, the full video recording can be found here:


To recap, here are a few highlights from that presentation, and some of the visualizations shared.


The visualization that perhaps sparked the most interest from Fanfest attendees was the race bar chart animation. It represe... Read more

In the past week, we have been made aware of several disturbing allegations that have taken place outside of our official channels yet, nonetheless have no place in the EVE Online experience. Some cases have directly violated our Event Code of Conduct[community.eveonline.com]. We take these allegations seriously and have already taken steps to investigate them, submitting evidence to proper authorities as appropriate.

While New Eden offers you the freedom of expression in the sandbox, we must balance in-game identity and freedom with the long-term health of the EVE player community, ensuring it is a space in which all feel welcome and safe. Any form of harassment, hate speech, intolerance, racism, or abuse taking place as outlined in the Real-Life Harassment and Threats policy[community.eveonline.com] will not be tolerated.

Battle-ready Capsuleers,

The new Abyssal Proving Grounds season is starting with a bang, with the first round focusing on high intensity 1v1 battlecruiser combat.

In this unique round – running 23-25 July exclusively – you’ll find the arena scattered with high numbers of exploding Bonus Nexus objects. Get too close to one and you’ll detonate it, triggering a blast that applies weapon and mobility buffs to your ship... but not your rival’s. And if they blow up a Nexus object, they’ll enjoy the same gains. It’s a sure-fire way to mix up the dynamic of each battle, bringing plenty of twists of fate and dramatic finishes.

If that weren’t enough, this Proving Grounds round introduces a repeatable challenge. Deal at least 7000 damage to your opponent in a single battle, and you’ll get a 20 million ISK reward.

All ships that enter the arena will also gain double the benefits of overheating the following module groups:

• Tackle Modules
• Propulsion Modules
• Repair Modules
• Resistance Modules
• Energy ...
