Daring capsuleers, 

The ongoing effort to create new career and specialization opportunities for budding SKINdustrialists  continues today with a new Equinox update. Several alterations were made in the on 25 July, including modifications to the cost and time requirements associated with SKINR, and a new skill that reduces Paragon Hub vendor fees. Today’s update continues that trajectory, adding the ability to try out any design elements in your creations and apply all nanocoatings to any slot, as well as several quality-of-life improvements. Furthermore, for the next twelve days, you can claim daily SKINR-themed rewards. At the same time, work continues on other important updates to Equinox, such as Skyhook raiding and more. 

UPDATE: In a happy little accident the DLI has been extended until 27 August and the total available skill points will be 425,000 for Omegas.

Howdy Spacefriends!

August is here, which marks us nearly 60% through the year, but much like conflict in New Eden, progress marches on!

In this edition of the Community Beat, we continue to review some of the kickass content you've all been making. We kick off with some of the :chefskiss: art that we've seen created the last couple of weeks - If you've joined any of the community team Live2Feed broadcasts, we occasionally drop into the ESSs when we roam around, so this one caught our eye for relatable reasons! Monzoobo was commissioned to produce some ESS banner art for Julio Von Matterhorn, which looked dope! Check out their Deviantart page; they also have some EVE-themed tarot cards! If you like their work, their commissions are open to new work, too!

In the realms of more tangible art, one of the artists we've previously featured, eetor, posted a beautiful 3d printed Machariel that they painted up. The camouflage colours look spot on, along with the black and white highlights on top! ...

Bold capsuleers, 

Your enthusiasm and dedication to EVE Online continually inspire our drive to deliver the best experiences possible, and we extend our gratitude for your support and passion. At the same time, we recognize that some of our ambitious goals for Equinox are taking a bit longer to achieve than expected. While we strive to get everything right, often it is not until capsuleers start interacting with the features in the live universe of New Eden that we can identify aspects that require fine tuning, balancing, fixing, or updating. During the post launch period we address issues that we have identified, actively monitor and gather data, and collaborate with the CSM and the larger community to make iterations based on your feedback.  Following recent updates and continuing over the summer, the focus is on delivering improvements in three key areas: 

• Further improving and balancing the Equinox sovereignty system and structures. 

• Balancing and improving the AIR Daily Goals experi...

Hello space friends, and welcome to the second Community Beat in July!

This time around we'd like to shine the spotlight on a few awesome videos that caught our attention. Starting off, we have Rist Gaming with his recording of the near 2 Trillion ISK fight that took place in Ignoitton over a Metenox Moon Drill last week. This massive brawl unfolds bit by bit in the vid where you see Rist piloting a Machariel at the start, and then multiboxes two Zirnitras as the fight progresses. Lowsec is popping. Check it out!

Next up, is a shorter video by deimos24, where he flies a Capacitor Flux Coil fit, cap stable Ferox Navy Issue. Gotta love fits that make the enemy think you must be running out of cap boosters soon, but little do they know you haven't chugged a single one!

The third video we'd like to shine a spotlight on is one by the infamous rhiload, who made a name for himself with the "ZKILL GUIDE" videos back in the day. In this video however, he's piloting a Minokowa and doing his best to...

Brave capsuleers, 

We want to acknowledge the concerns expressed by the community and CSM regarding the Equinox expansion and associated game changes.

We have been and continue to actively monitor and discuss the feedback, within CCP and with the CSM, to refine, plan and prioritize the next steps.  

The focus with Equinox was and remains making nullsec exciting and desirable, not just as a battleground, but as a dynamic homefront ripe with opportunities that will enhance the value generated from sovereignty systems (for corporations and alliances as well as for individuals).  

Today sees updates to various aspects of Equinox. Below is a high-level overview of these changes, with further details in the . This is just one of many steps forward, as we will continue to refine and adjust in the weeks ahead, with c...
