Party-prepping Capsuleers!
EVE’s 19th birthday is upon us, and you can now celebrate Capsuleer Day XIX in New Eden with an exciting new challenge!
While CONCORD enforces order, a shadowy network of smugglers has begun to spread its influence across New Eden. Starting today until 24 May, Capsuleers are tasked with infiltrating the smugglers’ sites, but can expect twists and turns along the way.
New Combat & Hacking Sites
New combat and hacking sites are appearing all over New Eden, and CONCORD will reward Capsuleers who take the fight to the smugglers!
You can use scanner probes to discover the Smuggler Dead Drop hacking sites, and then confiscate their loot using your Data Analyzer modules.
The event combat sites are accessible to any combat ships of battlecruiser size or smaller. The best ships to use are Tech I combat battlecruisers, heavy assault cruisers, strategic cruisers, or command ships.
The hacking and combat sites both contain incredible loot, including smuggler lockboxes that can be traded for ISK, various SKINs, limited time combat boosters, cerebral accelerators. This event heraldsthe return of the coveted Glamourex standings boosters!
CONCORD is also rewarding Capsuleers that attack the smugglers with an agency reward track. Receive points for fighting and hacking, along with rewards such as combat boosters and new SKINs.
