Everyone loves turning glorious space boulders into ravaged husks of their former selves, and with this release there'll be a new effect to go along with it that our rock-chewing pilots will be able to enjoy!
The addition of this effect marks the start of the introduction of this kind of visual feedback for all manner of objects in space, with more effects to be added in future releases after this initial test.
The Winter Caravan, led by EVE Online streamer Bjorn Bee and featuring a fleet of EVE developers, came across a number of formidable player fleets and had a real fight on their hands!
The new Yoiul Festival YC121 SKINs are now available in EVE Online's New Eden Store for a range of ships, but only until 8 Jan 2019, so embrace the holiday spirit and decorate your craft accordingly!
With the December release, new stunning visual improvements to planets are bringing auroras to New Eden for capsuleers across the cluster to enjoy. They may be rare though, so be sure to join in on the hunt to witness them!
There has never been a better time to join a corporation in New Eden!
The December release will see the first iterations on balance to war declarations, with further tweaks to come in early 2019. Corporations in high-security space are now more protected, as they are only vulnerable to war declarations if they have certain assets in space – either an Upwell Structure, a Starbase or a Customs Office.
The Crimson Harvest is back for this winter!
Sporting new sites, visuals and content, pilots will be able to run the gauntlet and engage in a new play experience to obtain a unique new material through both mining and combat. This will allow capsuleers to construct their own cerebral accelerators!
As always, pilots will need to access the Crimson Harvest objectives via The Agency, decide which objectives they want to tackle, then take on the challenges to rack up agency points.
The Crimson Harvest will run from October 23rd through to November 5th. Be sure to take part to earn exclusive rewards!
To round off this year's additions to the Triglavian ship tree, the December release will see the introduction of the Rodiva class tech I cruiser and its tech II counterpart, the Zarmazd class logistics cruiser.
These two hulls will benefit from an all new Triglavian themed remote repair module designed around the same weapons characteristics as the Triglavian Entropic Disintegrator.
Industrialists, colonizers and manufacturers can rejoice with the release of the Onslaught expansion as an easier to read and more compact overview for managing planetary installations becomes available!
Everything at your fingertips. At all times.
The new global search option coming with EVE Online: Onslaught puts every piece of information in New Eden just a quick search away.
Look for it in the top left of the client once the Onslaught expansion arrives!
As EVE Online: Onslaught arrives, pilots will an overhaul of visual effects around stargates, as these structures come to life with new animations, effects, textures and tweaks to geometry, breathing fresh life into one of the most widely used set of structures in New Eden.
With the winter expansion, capsuleers will benefit from a new activity tracker that will monitor and display their achievements in New Eden, along with providing context for their character's development and progress.
The activity tracker will also show avenues of further progression that pilots can take, highlighting other areas of New Eden's wide array of gameplay that they can explore.
New areas of abyssal deadspace are always being uncovered and this time a Triglavian cache of significant value may be within reach.
In some solo cruiser abyssal deadspace pockets, pilots may find an additional gate to a new and unexplored area of Abyssal deadspace that contains a new kind of cache. Hold the location long enough and the cache is yours.
Pilots should beware though, as their gate isn’t the only one into this new area, and they may find themselves up against other opportunistic capsuleers.
With EVE Online: Onslaught, pilots will now be able to take their wingmen into abyssal deadspace, with three-man frigate-based encounters.
Team up with your favourite friends and take on the Triglavian collective together for triple the rewards as part of new iterations on the abyss.
With the arrival of EVE Online: Onslaught, capsuleers will benefit from one of the most versatile structures offered by the Upwell Consortium yet – the Ansiblex class jump gate.
Able to be placed in range of the weapons systems of other Upwell structures, these gates can be linked together to form a capsuleer built highway between the stars, allowing travel between systems on a gate network built by capsuleers, for capsuleers.
Continuing the push toward the retirement of older starbase technology, the Pharolux Cynosural Beacon packs all the functionality of the old starbase module and more into one convenient structure.
The Pharolux will provide corporations and alliances who have their own travel infrastructure with a solid and convenient way to move anything with a jump drive and includes access lists for more granular control over who has access to their cynosural network.
The Tenebrex Cynosural Jammer is the latest in a new line of structures on offer from the Upwell Consortium that replaces older starbase technology.
Allowing Alliances to exert more control over the space that they claim, the Tenebrex moves cynosural jammer technology away from needing an entire starbase set up into a more convenient and maintainable structure.
With EVE Online: Onslaught, capsuleers will gain access to this new Triglavian battlecruiser class hull that sports the first defensive bonuses on a hull designed by the Collective.
Built as an in-your-face brawler with armor resistance bonuses, the Drecavac is the first Triglavian hull to favour all out combat over speed and agility, adding new tactical options for those looking to specialize in piloting precursor vessels.
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.
