The Deathless Calls
Once Drifter forces had been pushed back by valiant capsuleers and the siege of Zarzakh ended, a mysterious, shrouded structure appeared in the system. Now, the Deathless has sent out a rallying message to capsuleers to “bring him the key,” in the form of Atavum artifacts which have been discovered in various relic sites across New Eden. A recent attack on a Thukker convoy transporting goods to Zarzakh revealed a haul of Atavum, giving rise to speculation about its value, which has now become apparent.
The Deathless promises handsome rewards for anyone who brings Atavum to Zarzakh, although there is sure to be plenty of demand among other interested parties around New Eden.
Powerful New Deathless Ships
The Deathless has unveiled powerful new instruments of war – the Tholos destroyer and Cenotaph battlecruiser. Designed for bold, close-range combat, these ships will be the first to employ unique SCARAB breacher pods for sustained damage over time. This new technology will allow capsuleers to damage and disrupt enemy vessels from within, adding powerful new stratagems to warfare in New Eden.
These Minmatar-Caldari hybrid ships are perfect for pilots who relish high-risk, high-reward gameplay, whether in solo operations or fleet warfare. Armed with covert ops cloaking devices and a bonus to stasis webifier resistance, they can slip into enemy ranks undetected and unleash devastating damage, rewarding skilled capsuleers who make the most of their hit-and-run capabilities. Designed for brawling, they are powerful weapons that will provide a tactical edge in the ongoing war.
From Workforce to Wealth
Revenant also introduces mercenary dens – deployable structures that produce encrypted infomorphs by harnessing workforce. These infomorphs are highly sought after by the Deathless and can be exchanged for new and valuable rewards. Shortly after the launch of Revenant, mercenary dens will start generating activities called Tactical Operations, and engaging with (or ignoring) these activities will influence the production of encrypted infomorphs and impact a skyhook’s workforce output.
Furthermore, mercenary dens are vulnerable, and hostile pilots can potentially disrupt operations, further influencing workforce output and encrypted infomorph generation. This introduces new resources, activity, and potential for conflict in nullsec.
Achieve More with Enhanced Corp Projects
The Revenant expansion brings powerful new ways to strengthen and streamline corporation efforts, giving capsuleers even greater opportunities to contribute. Organization leaders of New Eden will gain more control and flexibility over their Corporation Projects, enabling them to tailor goals and tasks for maximum efficiency while also enhancing the experience for current or potential members.
Expanded project parameters add flexibility, allowing creators to set comprehensive, complex, and diverse goals. This enables leaders to create one project with multiple contribution options – such as mining in multiple locations or targeting various ship types and ship groups. Select project types will support expanded parameters on launch day, and more will be added later.
The new Ship Insurance project type will offer a streamlined way to automate ship replacement programs, providing a seamless and guaranteed compensation system based on the loss value. This project type will be added in an update shortly following the expansion launch and will support expanded project parameters.
Project deadlines will help corporation leaders prioritize goals and communicate the urgency and importance of specific projects, helping members prioritize their efforts. New project participation limits also enable more equitable involvement across members.
SKIN Your Corp
Revenant brings a powerful update to the Paragon Hub that enhances organizational cohesion and a collective sense of unity and belonging. Through increased sharing functionality, those responsible for designing identities that match their corporation’s might can now unleash their creativity across space, with capsuleers able to obtain these SKINS directly, tax-free, from their corporation’s Brand Managers, for whom no fees are applied.
Creativity Multiplied
Customization has never been more exciting or plentiful, as Revenant will introduce secondary and nested patterns to the SKIN design process. Designers can now apply a second pattern to their SKINs, creating complex layered designs for a unique and personalized look.
A multitude of new patterns, ranging from bold geometric designs to more intricate and expressive visuals, will inspire capsuleers to push the limits of their designs, offering new ways to stand out in New Eden.
For capsuleers seeking spontaneous creativity or quick inspiration, a new “randomize” button will allow you to instantly generate new designs by cycling through combinations of patterns and colors. Whether you’re refining your corp’s signature look or experimenting with a personal style, the randomize function offers endless possibilities at the click of a button.
Partner with Paragon
Designers looking to delve deeper and become SKINdustrialists can take advantage of a new skill: Executive Paragon Partnership. This lowers fees associated with Paragon Hub transactions, increasing the profit margin and expanding the creative economy around SKINR customization. Partner with Paragon to carve out a name as a top designer in New Eden, shape the visual identity of your corporation or alliance, and profit from your unique creations.
Your Ships Elevated
With the Revenant expansion, ships take center stage as the updated ship information window offers a more dynamic and immersive way to view your ship’s details. Every aspect of your ship will be elevated, from stats and capabilities to visual presence, helping you make more informed decisions by offering an enriched understanding of its role and potential. The new interface also allows you to browse and apply SKINs directly, adds new view modes, and much more.
Reach Your Goals with EverMarks
For those who find certain daily goals out of reach or outside their playstyle, the ability to pay EverMarks to complete AIR Daily Goals will be added shortly following the expansion launch. This allows capsuleers to focus on the activities they enjoy the most, while still progressing and achieving their goals. It’s an effective way to maximize freedom and choice, offering the ability to stockpile EverMarks and use them strategically.
EVE Vanguard’s New Event & Update
From 28 November to 9 December, the Vanguard descend planetside, impacting the ongoing war in New Eden on a grander scale in EVE Vanguard’s biggest update yet.
