Glorious capsuleers,

We’re now midway through 2023 and what a historic time it has been for EVE Online! So far, it’s been a packed year with a ton of exciting things happening in New Eden. You capsuleers have been busy having several trillion-ISK battles, adapting new strategies while building structures and taking others down. It has been remarkable to see the impact you have had as well as the number of firsts you have achieved: the first Keepstar killed in high-sec, the first rearguard system captured in the warzone, and the first shipcaster constructed for the Empires just to name a few.

Since the start of 2023, preparations and celebrations steadily ramped up into May, when EVE officially rang in its 20th anniversary. The capsuleer age has ushered in unforgettable celebrations, exciting moments, and recently the first expansion of the third decade, EVE Online: Viridian, which launched in June. Since the launch of Viridian, player corporations have been recruitin...

Greetings,

Effective immediately "Abyssal Tunneling" using filaments is an exploit.

This means that if you deliberately use a filament in System A during cluster shutdown to create a warp tunnel kick-out, and then deliberately use the same mechanic in a System B at a different downtime - just to get returned to System A - then you are intentionally using this exploit. This is an unintended mechanic of getting kicked out of a filament warp tunnel exactly when downtime hits.

Players who are found to use this mechanic will be subject to disciplinary actions as per the Terms o...

With the 19th Alliance Tournament less than a month away now, teams are deep into theory-crafting and testing their "It works on the spreadsheet" compositions via scrimmages with other teams and internal practices. Part of that practice is finding a Flagship that synergizes well with the composition, as well as the challenge of both finding someone with the skills to fly it and hunting down the modules that you wish to supply it with. The last thing you want to happen is for your flagship Raven to end up being equipped with the following: Lazers.

Flagships in the tournament are unique in that teams can bring just a single flagship, but should it meet its demise, it cannot be fielded again. However, where flagships gain their strength is the ability to not only circumvent ban restrictions but also module restrictions, resulting in some ...

Keen capsuleers,

As pilots continue to feverishly seek out and piece together Guristas design data, reports of fragmentary ship designs now being recovered from high-ranking Angel Cartel operatives illustrate an ongoing high-priority Salvation Angels initiative concurrent with Guristas efforts already underway.

Given the equal parts played by these underworld elements in the Guri Malakim raids this past May which saw the extraction of ancient data and technology from derelict Jove Observatories across the cluster, there can be little question that some manner of shared ambition has compelled the Guristas and the Cartel to pursue new designs.

But as more and more fragments fall into place, the seeming indifference of either organization to the revelation of what would typically be highly classified R&D increasingly suggests a deprioritization of security in favor of rapid development, leading many to wonder: just what could lead pirate faction...

Hello spacefriends and welcome to the latest Community Beat! New Eden never slows down and neither do you! Once again we’re spoiled for exciting developments from the community to talk about but here are some of the highlights that caught our attention over the last two weeks:

Guristas and Angel Cartel Data Fragments

Eagle-eyed EVE players have recently noticed that certain Guristas and Angel Cartel NPCs are dropping data fragments that, when stitched together, seem to show schematics of unfamiliar ships.

One such capsuleer is HongsamCandy who has been collecting fragments of a Guristas ship and by reconstructing them has hit upon what appears to be some kind of destroyer-class vessel, apparently based on the Corax hull:

Worldwide capsuleers,

Following the launch of pre-orders for the EVE 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition it came to our attention that not all denizens of New Eden were being treated equally due to shipping, duties and taxes of considerable variation being applied to orders.

Real world shipping, duties and taxes are simply a fact of life, and are sadly out of our control. We can, however, attempt to bring a degree of fairness to those who do show their support and make a purchase, and so this is exactly what we will do, through the gifting of PLEX.

For anyone who orders the 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition, a sum of PLEX will be gifted, based on the total extra cost incurred by the customer. Below is a table detailing the PLEX quantity that will be gifted:

Inquisitive capsuleers,

A plan has been set in motion.

In the wake of the Empires’ shadow war, Guri Malakim raids centered on pilfering ancient technology, and the recent notice of new market interests among certain pirate factions, capsuleer sources are now reporting the recovery of what appear to be classified Guristas ship development documents from the wreckage of high-ranking Guristas commanders across the cluster:

Tantalizing as they may be on their own, the unguarded spread of these documents among the ranks of the Guristas alongside other recent events hints at a much deeper potential purpose; whatever may have compelled the creation of these designs, it is certain that their discovery represents only the first step on the path to illuminating far larger ambitions taking shape somewhere in the shrouded corners of New Eden.

Whatever comes next is yours to discover, capsuleers; venture out in search of secrets hidden among the stars a...

Renegade Capsuleers,

A special Liberation Day pack has been added to the EVE Store. Pick one up, and you’ll get a new booster never before seen in New Eden, new Chainbreaker Khumaak SKINs for 8 ship hulls, Skill Points, and PLEX.

The new Heimatar Rise Accelerator, is inspired by the Minmatar uprising’s rallying call; the single word ‘rise!’. It offers a +6 bonus to all learning attributes. The Heimatar Rise Accelerator’s base duration is set at two days (or four days at max skill levels), so make sure to get the most out of it.

Alongside it are the familiar Agency boosters -...

Greetings from the northernmost capital in the world and host of EVE Fanfest 2023, Reykjavík city! Reykjavík is also the home of CCP, and the birthplace of EVE Online. Development of EVE began in the Icelandic capital in the late 1990s, with the game first launching there on 6 May 2003. Reykjavík remains the home of EVE’s development, and CCP’s HQ, which is based at the amazing Gróska creative community. The city was also host of the first Fanfest all the way back in 2004 – and is soon set to provide the setting for EVE’s 20th anniversary celebrations at EVE Fanfest 2023. There’s still time to book your Fanfest tickets and be part of EVE Online’s journey to forever. With the amazing EVE Online community getting ready to descend on Iceland’s capital and share their passion, friendship, and devotion to gaming’s greatest star cluster, it’s about time for some tips and advice on making the most of your Fanfest trip, from the best food to accommodation. With that in mind, let’s sta...

Capsuleers, 

The creativity of the EVE community never ceases to amaze and delight. Recently, in celebration of 20 years of EVE Online, we reached out and asked talented capsuleers to come up with original artwork, the best of which would be featured on special T-shirts, sold at the EVE Fanfest 2023 and in the EVE Merch Store. In addition to this, the best designs got pretty sweet prizes, which you can read more about here: Design a T-shirt for the EVE Online 20th Anniversary
