EVE Vegas returns, and this year it we'll be carrying on the fifteenth anniversary celebrations in style as we head back to Sin City!
This year, we'll be returning to The Linq, right on the Strip in the heart of Las Vegas.
Once again we'll be heading back to Drai's for an epic party in the desert, as well as hosting all the usual presentations and roundtables where you'll see and hear more about what...
Read moreTo put control of nullsec space firmly in the hands of capsuleers in 2018, pilots will see a transformation of existing outposts and conquerable stations, which will be replaced by faction citadels.
The organization that controls each of these structures at the time of the change over will be granted a replacement faction citadel when they are removed, and landmarks will be created to preserve the heritage surrounding the conquerable stations and several notable outposts.
Since this is a sizeable undertaking, this changeover will occur in a standalone release on June 5th, the week after deployment of the summer expansion, Into The Abyss.
Check out more details in the dev blog!
With Into The Abyss, Planetary Interaction will see some significant UI and UX improvements. These changes will make planetary installations easier to maintain and improve the flow and visual feedback during initial setup.
New indicators will show when nodes aren't fully set up, new pinning mechanics will make it easier to drop multiple nodes of the same type, and a whole host of new tooltips will give guidance on how to use various elements of planetary interaction, guiding capsuleers through setup with more detail than ever before.
An entirely new weapon system with wildly different characteristics to anything seen in New Eden before, Entropic Disintegrators have no falloff range and build power over time, reaching a peak damage discharge 50% greater than their initial damage at activation.
In the hands of a skilled pilot these new weapons can prove devastating, however capsuleers will need to manage range and utilize solid tactics, as Entropic Disintegrators deactivate and discharge once their target drifts out of optimal range, resetting their damage potential.
The Triglavian Collective possess biotechnology with the capability of altering resources and modules in the abyss. This technology takes the form of artificial mycoplasmid colonies that can be harvested from within abyssal deadspace, and unleashed on existing modules.
These mutaplasmids will alter the properties of modules in unpredictable ways, sometimes increasing their bonuses and making them more efficient, and other times rendering them less capable than before.
Capsuleers should be careful when taking the risk on potential experimentation, but the rewards for being bold could vastly increase the value of their hardware.
A true behemoth from the abyss, the Leshak utilizes Triglavian weapons technology to boast the highest potential destructive power of any sub capital class vessel in existence.
Battleship pilots who can get to grips with piloting the Leshak will be revered on the field of battle, and feared by any capsuleer their crosshairs fall upon.
A solid damage platform that utilizes Triglavian weapons technology, the Vedmak is a fearsome cruiser with the ability to dictate engagement range and the staying power to remain on the field for lengthy engagements.
Capsuleers who master this cruiser may be among the best pilots in the cluster.
A staple part of the Society of Conscious Thought's expeditionary fleets, the Gnosis class battlecruiser is always in high demand. The Society will once again issue one of these to each capsuleer that holds Omega clone status, in addition to a matching XV branded anniversary SKIN.
On May 7th, these will be placed in the redeeming system of every account that's active in the 30 days prior to the fifteenth anniversary, and holds Omega account status at some point during that period.
As part of the fifteenth anniversary celebrations, the Society of Conscious Thought will be awarding capsuleers with the Apotheosis class shuttle, plus a fifteenth anniversary XV branded SKIN.
On May 7th, these will also be placed in the redeeming system of every account that's active in the 30 days prior to the fifteenth anniversary, regardless of clone state.
The fifteenth anniversary theme extends to this XV striped capsule SKIN, which will also be issued to capsuleers as part of the fifteen year celebrations.
On May 7th, this SKIN will be available in the redeeming system of every account that's active in the 30 days prior to the fifteenth anniversary, regardless of clone state.
With the fifteenth anniversary celebrations, the Society of Conscious Thought will issue an all new Praxis class battleship to each capsuleer that holds Omega clone status, in addition to a matching XV branded anniversary SKIN.
On May 7th, these will be placed in the redeeming system of every account that's active in the 30 days prior to the fifteenth anniversary, and holds Omega account status at some point during that period.
