A new addition to the Triglavian ship tree, the Kikimora is a destroyer class hull designed by the Collective for patrolling abyssal deadspace and engaging in fast attack hit and run operations.
With EVE Online: Onslaught, capsuleers will be able to get their hands on this hull for the first time, giving access to a fast, light destroyer hull that excels at dictating the range of an engagement and dishing out damage.
New Eden is in an ever-evolving state and as we push toward the third decade, the next expansion for EVE Online is right on the horizon.
More quality of life changes, fresh balance, new precursor ships and content and more iteration on abyssal deadspace are right around the corner with EVE Online: Onslaught, as well as a whole host of new navigation structures that further enable capsuleers to become masters of their domain.
Based on community feedback and requests for a deeper look into the current effectiveness of these hulls, a balance pass is coming to Force Auxiliaries that aims to tweak both their remote and local repair abilities.
The October release will see the introduction of this new module that can be fitted to Heavy Interdictors as part of efforts to balance the use of heavy interdictors with oversized propulsion modules.
Based on community feedback, the Damavik will see some slot layout changes with this release that aim to make it a more versatile frigate.
Losing a low slot and gaining an extra mid slot should make the Damavik more versatile, giving a wider range of tactical fitting options.
With the October release, capsuleers will benefit from changes to interdiction nullification that will see the effect removed from combat interceptors (the Claw, Crusader, Raptor and Taranis).
These changes aim to preserver the unique role that interceptors play as scouts and tacklers, while introducing more significant trade-offs for the powerful mechanic that is nullification.
Several changes to ECM are coming with the October release that will provide more counter play options to those who find themselves on the receiving end of target jamming effects.
Pilots who find themselves target jammed will now be able to lock the vessel jamming them, to allow for retaliation and counter play against the effects of ECM.
This release will see fixes to a number of graphical issues, including incorrect display of the structure build effect, fixes for occlusion maps on Gallente frigates and tweaks to several skins and dirt levels.
The October release brings several small changes that aim to improve performance, including the removal of AOE damage effects when a titan class hull is destroyed, and optimizations that reduce the amount of unneeded data being sent to the client from the game server when a pilot engages warp.
The Rogue Drones return in this updated version of the Rogue Swarm Alert event, with new content! Enjoy exclusive new rewards such as the blueprint for a brand new drone type and the Cryptic Mimesis SKIN for Battleships, as well as Cerebral Accelerators. Engage in a new play experience and salvage loot from Rogue Drones and hack special containers. Get involved and combat the continuing advance and infestation of the Rogue Drones!
In this release, capsuleers will benefit from improved performance in scenes where many lasers are being fired at once.
Improved LOD and optimized audio will see signficant increases in performance for the EVE client when rendering fights that involve a lot of energy weapon effects.
With this release, new pilots will be able to enjoy the start of a series of updates to the New Player Experience.
This update focuses on delivering a new basic starter site for rookie pilots, as well as combat challenges displayed via The Agency and a new Agency UI for training tasks.
These challenges are repeatable, but new pilots will only be rewarded with skills upon first completion as part of the rookie orientation process.
With the arrival of the September release comes a whole host of quality of life improvements for capsuleers to enjoy - or "little things", as they're more commonly known.
With customization for the market ticker, activation of multiple SKIN licenses at the same time, refinement of navigation hotkeys so that they also work on wormholes, clearer UI tooltips and more versatile ship fitting simulation with improved tooling, there's something for everyone in this release's round of quality of life improvements.
With the September release, Upwell Cargo Deposit allows pilots flying outside any Upwell Structure to place items into their own personal hangar in the structure without docking, even if they do not have docking rights to the structure.
This means that couriers, freighter pilots and those looking to make fast deliveries will have more flexibility to be able to quickly drop off cargo or complete courier contracts.
From August 21st through to September 4th, pilots will be rewarded via The Agency for exploration of Abyssal Deadspace.
From Cerebral Accelerators to exclusive Triglavian SKINs and mutaplasmids for Ancillary modules that are only available through this event, pilots who complete abyssal challenges are sure to earn sizable rewards for the risks they take.
Rewards that are both time limited and exclusive will include "Singularity Storm" SKINs for Triglavian hulls as well as all new unstable mutaplasmids for Ancillary Armor Repairers and Shield Boosters of all sizes that are only available via this event.

Capsuleers have been able to decorate their ships with Super Kerr-Induced Nanocoatings for several years, and now the time has come to extend that functionality to the structures that the capsuleer empires of New Eden have created across the cluster.
SKINs are now coming to Upwell structures in a system near you!
Once again, the Amarr Empire is gearing up for its annual celebration of the coronation of Empress Catiz I.
With the celebrations come the ever-popular Imperial Jubilee SKINs, which will be expanded with this event to cover even more Amarr hulls for this year’s celebrations.
