Sovereign capsuleers, 

It’s been nine days since Equinox launched, and you have certainly been busy! SKINdustrialists have been traveling far and wide to find SKINR components in space to craft thousands of amazing designs, while the new Upwell industrial ships have been snagging kills left and right, as well as doing their fair share of exploding. Over in nullsec, orbital skyhooks are stocking up on superionic ice and magmatic gas, and Metenox moon drills are busy harvesting. 

As part of the phased rollout of Equinox, IRIS has announced that the Paragon Hub will now allow the sale of player-created SKINs, three Homefront Operations have been added, tailored toward smaller groups, and there is an important announcement regarding the transition to the new sovereignty system. 

Unleash your creativity with SKINR

Capsuleers, your wait is over! The Paragon Hub is now fully open, allowing you to trade your SKIN masterpieces, created through . Buy, sell, and showcase your unique ship SKINs, enha...

Embrace the Thrill 

New Eden continues to evolve with updates that bring more rewards and risks to daring capsuleers. In Pochven, some community-requested quality-of-life changes have been made to the Observatory Flashpoints, while changes to Incursions provide ample time to prepare and engage in combat. The Triglavian Collective now targets only pilots with negative standings in minor victory systems, making travel safer for most while maintaining the thrill of combat for the brave.

Expansion Notes 22.01 - EVE Online: Equinox

Nullsec Sov Changes

The Equinox expansion introduces significant updates to nullsec sovereign space, with Upwell structures, notably the Orbital Skyhook, Sovereignty Hub, and Metenox Moon Drill.

Orbital Skyhooks, replacing Customs Offices, will be essential for extracting new resources like Power, Workforce, and Reagents from planets. However, this also introduces a new vulnerability as some of these structures can be hacked, and all of them can be destroyed by players, creating new opportunities for conflict and resource theft. Furthermore, their presence attracts pirate attention, adding another layer of r...

Capsuleers, 

The Equinox expansion is imminent, and with it come new changes to nullsec infrastructure. This blog will explain the mechanics of the new Upwell structures that will be introduced, including the new sovereignty hub, sovereignty upgrades, orbital skyhook and the resources that those structures will both generate and consume.  

Check out this overview of the structures and ships from Upwell: 

Introducing a new set of resources, all while making changes to sovereignty, is no small endeavor. New upgrades will require new resources, and those new resources take time to acquire. To ensure that everyone has a smooth and equitable transition period, different elements will be released gradually to avoid the overburdening of your logistics networks.

Out with the IHub, In with The Sovereignty Hub

The new sovereignty hub is a modular structure dedicated to governing a star system and the colonies and infrastructure within. Replacing the infrastructure hub (IHub) and territorial claim uni...

o7 spacefriends,

Coming at you one day earlier than usual, we are back with another edition of the Community Beat. As always this is your update on what's been happening in New Eden. This week, as we celebrate special milestones and space battles, we also marvel at new artwork and look back on bittersweet memories.

Celebrating 20 years!

Earlier this year we celebrated EVE University's 20th birthday and now it is Chribba's turn. Known as the most honest man in EVE, Chribba reached a special milestone on 31 May 2024, celebrating 20 years in his corporation. He's been part of his corp for longer than some of us have been alive... Think about that.

Congrats Chribba!

Bringing spaceships to life

We love seeing artists at work, and this video from Lloyd George is no exception. His ability to bring spaceships to life with just water, paint, and a brush blows our minds every time. Watching the process unfold is almost better than admiring the final product, if you ask us.

Lloyd also shows that i...
