Capsuleers!

There is only one week left before the end of May – which means there is only one week left to make sure that your name appears on the Worlds within a World EVE Monument in Reykjavik.

The deadline for securing a spot on the monument was extended due to feedback, and to make sure that even players who couldn’t be Omega by the 6th of May didn’t miss their chance. Any player who is Omega during the month of May will have their character name included on the monument, and characters who are already listed will receive a chevron next to their name. This is the first time new names are being added since the monument was first erected ten years ago, so don’t miss out on this chance to be part of EVE’s unique legacy.

Capsuleers,

Welcome to the first in a series of articles that will put elements of the upcoming EVE Online: Viridian expansion in focus, preparing you for the big day in June when you will be able to dive in and experience it for yourselves. Viridian will be the first of two major expansions for EVE in 2023, bringing with it new tools for capsuleers to manage their corporations and set goals, to personalize Upwell structures, as well as engage in socially driven gameplay content. It will also provide more avenues for new and existing players to forge relationships as they fly and strive together for the glory of their corporation!

Another big element of the expansion will be the visual updates that add immersion, wonder, and depth to the universe of New Eden, specifically those being made to empire frigates, marauders, missile impact effects, and volumetric clouds – all of which will be discussed throughout this article, in the video below, as well a...

This edition of the Community Beat will be different as we take a moment to remember a dedicated friend our community has recently lost.

Vale ISD Dorrim Barstorlode and Bernie Nator

It is with a heavy heart that we write to inform you of the untimely passing of one of our esteemed community members and ISD volunteers, known in-game as Bernie Nator and ISD Dorrim Barstorlode.

Bernie was a stalwart in the EVE tournament scene and an active player within wormhole space. Bernie was a friend, mentor, and a beacon of positivity to everyone who had the good fortune of interacting with him. He was renowned for his friendly demeanor and camaraderie, making the universe of New Eden a welcoming place for both new and seasoned players.

His alter ego - ISD Dorrim Barstorlode - was a tireless contributor to our ISD volunteer program which he was a part of for over a decade. As a moderator on the EVE forums, he played a vital role in ensuring our community remained a resp...

Greetings, capsuleers!

In breaking news, a new means to travel into the heart of the warzone while also giving groups new tools to utilize and new objectives to fight over – the interstellar shipcaster – has been introduced into New Eden. The Caldari State and their loyalist capsuleers have achieved this historic milestone through a mastery of stellar transmuter technology and acquiring the necessary materials from dangerous areas of space. The Caldari have become the first - and so far only - empire to successfully construct an interstellar shipcaster, . State Chairman Akimaka Saraki praised these efforts as being "in the finest traditions of Caldari enterprise and ingenuity" during a recent briefing with the Chief Executive Panel and Executive General Heika Torigo.

This powerful new tool will allow pilots to quickly traverse the...

Capsuleers,

Today marks the roll out of new visual upgrades that enhance the beauty of EVE Online. Now you’ll witness unlimited shadows throughout New Eden. Where shadows used to be limited to 16 in busy scenes - now there are no restrictions, and they’ll look much clearer and sharper. You expect a shadow? You’ll see a shadow.

How the client implements the graphical settings for shadows has also been reworked. Shadows will now always be rendered at all settings other than ‘disabled’, with the filtering of shadows being adjusted to allow a balance between quality and performance. Your entire visual experience will now also be much smoother thanks to new anti-aliasing te...

Competitive capsuleers,

It’s that time again! Rally your best fighters, analysts, theory crafters, and spreadsheet enjoyers as the path to the 19th Alliance Tournament is right around the corner. Alliances will once again be sending up to ten of their most versed combatants to fight it out in the arena for glory and epic prizes. They’ll be broadcast to the rest of the cluster with their teams and the EVE community cheering on for their glory and conquest! Experienced casters and commentators will also be back again to help break down the tournament content for viewers and (hopefully) assist with who they would put their channel points on to win even more prizes!

Today's news announcement will primarily highlight the key dates in the next few months to help everyone schedule around the tournament a little better. They will also be summarized in bullet point fashion at the end of this article. As is tradition, we will outline a few of the changes and smaller details you ca...
