Adventurous capsuleers,

You valiantly drove back the Drifter forces and brought an end to the siege of Zarzakh, and have since then worked tirelessly to bring the Deathless the key to a mysterious shrouded structure. Many of you have reaped great rewards by trading Atavum for blueprints and ISK in Zarzakh, or by selling them at Society of Conscious Thought stations.

The Deathless has now made it clear that he will have uses for Atavum further down the line. The current collection efforts and rewards are temporary, but it seems that there will be further opportunities to gain riches from Atavum after that window closes. The artifacts will, therefore, still have value and stay relevant, so there are still ample reasons to hunt for them.

The Society of Conscious Thought has also announced that it is willing to buy journal entries from explorers, as they were written by a former SoCT member. This introduces more avenues for adventurous capsuleers to earn wealth and rewards, so there is no sh...

Allied capsuleers,

It’s been just over seven weeks since the tournament kicked off with the first rounds of feeder matches. The starting pool of 50 were whittled down to 28, which joined the top-four teams from last year in the regular 32-team, Double-Elimination bracket.

The alliances competing for glory are:

Capsuleers,

New Eden is as unforgiving as ever. Everyone battles for survival, but domination takes teamwork, and with the Revenant expansion launching on 12 November, your corporation is about to level up. Think unmatched organizational supremacy as AIR is handing you fresh tools and the sky is no longer the limit in ship customization, so you and your fleet can fly as one, under your banner, making New Eden yours.

A simplified path to ruling the stars

Corporations are the beating heart of New Eden, and the beating down of your enemies if you know how to use the tools. With Expanded Project Parameters you can now create complex goals under a single project and without the need for a PhD in logistics! Gone are the days of creating separate tasks for each ship type or location, so now you can do more of what you do best, be a great leader!

Hate it when your corp members fly the same old ships when you know that’s not going to win the war? Introducing Ship Insurance – the ke...

Greetings helpful capsuleers,

As you may have read in our recent announcement about the Revenant expansion coming in November, we will be adding a new damage-over-time (aka 'DOT') weapon to EVE Online. Implementing this new weapon system meant refactoring a significant amount of the code which handles damage application in the game.

Accordingly, we will be running a mass test on the Singularity test server on Wednesday 16 October from 17:00 to 19:00 UTC in order to test out this refactored code.

After the test we will analyze the logs and will grant a 5 rewards of 100 PLEX to the capsuleer who dealt the most damage in each of the following categories:

• Most damage dealt in a frigate-sized hull

• Most damage dealt in a destroyer-sized hull

• Most damage dealt in a cruiser-sized hull

• Most damage dealt in a battlecruiser-sized hull

• Most damage dealt in a battleship-sized hull

Additionally all mass test participants will receive 20,000 EverMarks. All rewards will be applied on Tranquility.

Please note y...

Council of Stellar Management 19

Although this is the Community Beat and usually focuses on player-created content, we would like to mention the CSM19 candidate interviews which took place on the official CCP Twitch channel recently. Over the last weekend CCP Swift and CCP Lumi interviewed dozens of candidates in 10 minute bite-sized chunks so you could get to know them and their platforms better. If you missed those streams but would like to know the candidates running for CSM19 in order to make a more informed decision then check out the VODs here, here and here!

If you’re unfamiliar with the CSM and what it means for EVE Online you can find out more here. In short, the Council of Stellar Management is a player advocacy group who are elected by EVE Online pl...
