Hello spacefriends and welcome to the first Community Beat for YC126! Or as it's known in meatspace: 2024. Let's begin...

EVE Online Careers Chart

Remember that huge, cool looking chart of EVE Online careers from a while back? You know the one. It looked a bit like this:

You may not have checked it out for a while since the original creator's last version dates from 2016. Well ICYMI, for the last two years the task of maintaining the chart has been taken up by a player called Mu'ad Diib.

With original creator Altrue's blessing and input, Mu'ad Diib has been updating and refining the EVE Online Career Chart and is still at it. Lots of activities have been added and there are some new features as well! For example with the interactive PDF version of the chart you can click on a career or category and be linked to appropriate EVE Uni wiki page on the subject, a useful guide or some other relevant resource.

You can always find the latest version here, so go check it out! You might get some i...

Vanguard Founders, 

Recently, the EVE Vanguard First Strike event saw legion take to the surface and help spread corruption in New Eden by fulfilling contracts on the frontlines. We are thankful to all who participated in this first experimental deployment of these new warclones in New Eden. This was merely the beginning and we want to take a moment to reflect on some of the learnings from the First Strike event, and take a look ahead at what is in store in the first half of 2024. We also encourage you to join the discussion on our Discord server, where you can get all the latest news and updates about EVE Vanguard, as well as connecting with other players and developers alike. 

BUILDING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMMUNITY

Both during and after First Strike, we have been watching and listening to vast amounts of feedback received from those who took part in the playtest event. There were several common themes so let’s dive into those: 

• Some players expected a more complete game than they got...

Welcome, capsuleers, to the final Community Beat of 2023!

Between 20th anniversary celebrations, two major expansions, EVE Fanfest, dozens of player meets, in-game tournaments & events, and thousands of hours of player-created content – you’ve made 2023 truly amazing!

To round out the year, we’ve got a special treat for you! Our in-house band, Crowd Kon7rol, has released a Christmas song. So sit back, pour some Quafe into a champagne flute, turn up the music, and enjoy the show!

Contributing To The Frontlines

Havoc certainly brought chaos to the frontlines. BearThatCares proved that you can contribute outside of running complexes or scoring PvP kills. Ships die in the warzone, and sometimes you just need to get back in the action! By building, importing, fitting, and listing those ships on contract, Minmatar Fleet was able to keep thousands of pilots in ships quickly. Turning a nice profit helps, too!

If you were sitting on the sidelines because you never viewed yourself a PvPer – h...

Celebrated capsuleers,

A new year is almost upon us, and what a year 2023 has been for EVE Online! The 20th year of New Eden was filled with excitement and chaos, with pilots pulling off heists, joining pirate factions, and filling the cluster with life and death.

“Wow, what a year! A fitting one for the 20th Anniversary, with two incredible expansions in Viridian and Havoc, a record breaking Fanfest, EVE Vanguard First Strike earlier this month, and whole lot more in between! I can say hand on heart that New Eden is full of life and vibrancy right now, evidenced both in higher concurrent capsuleers in space, but also in the unbelievable stories you continue to create. It’s incredibly exciting to again have boots on the ground in New Eden, and in the coming year, we will continue building on that core experience, creating an FPS experience with the community that we can all be proud of. We had and we hope you agree we've delivered on a lot of our promises to you. But we aren't done by...

It's that time again! Welcome back to another edition of the Community Beat. It's jam-packed full of content, as everyone has been inciting chaos.

Before we look at what's coming up, let's look at what's recently occurred. To start us off, we have 2-anniversary celebrations:

New Edens' first registered alliance turns 19 Years old!

The first-ever registered alliance in New Eden, Ushra'Khan, celebrated turning 19 years old on 25 November! It is an impressive accomplishment for an establishment in New Eden to continue for so long, and we offer our congratulations and hope to see them hit the big 20 next year!

The Magic Schoolbus project also turns 9 Years old!

CSM Member Mike Azariah usually tours the career systems in New Eden, dropping in, saying "hi!" in local chat in his Bowhead, and handing out free-fitted frigates, destroyers, and even the occasional cruiser to new pilots.

The initiative is sponsored by older players and runs on donations from individuals who donate isk and materials to g...

Intrepid capsuleers!

The new offers a faster, more seamless way to immerse yourself in EVE’s universe, and includes a host of community-requested features. Your characters are now front and center of the launch experience, and there are plenty of opportunities to personalize that experience too - just how you want it.

The new launcher also helps us deliver crucial security updates quickly and automatically, and makes reporting any issues you run into faster and easier than ever before.

As part of the rollout process, you’ll soon be prompted to accept this update from the existing launcher. Simply hit the upgrade button when you see it, and all of your accounts will be automatically transferred, making it easy to quickly warp back into New Eden. Now that the upgrade process is very nearly finalized, please be aware that the old version of the launcher is no longer available to download. 

If you’d like to manually upgrade right now, doing so is easy! You can also check out this help center ...

Formidable capsuleers,

New Eden is in turmoil, thanks to Havoc being wrought by pirate insurgents and empire militia fighting to suppress corruption. A brand new update to EVE Online’s Havoc expansion only adds to the chaos by introducing an exciting Ice Refinery Heist activity and AIR Daily Goals.

NEW EDEN IS SHAPED ON THE FRONTLINES

Recently, fearless mercenaries went boots-on-the-ground in the EVE Vanguard First Strike event, which gave Omega players the opportunity to jump into the new multiplayer sandbox FPS module for EVE Online. As Vanguard, players fuel the war machine, adding corruption to the frontlines, delivering vital resources to the EVE economy, and completing contracts that turn the tide of battle. The First Strike event was a massive success with the Vanguard adding to the corruption on the frontlines by completing contracts for the Angel Cartel and Guristas, pulling out materials and data of interest from the Bowhead wreckage. This event not only gave players the chance ...
