EVE Online Dev Tracker

Rapid capsuleers,

Revenant just got a , and the evolution continues. New Eden now moves faster, flows smoother, and feels more vibrant than ever. The new is now live, boosting performance and unlocking a more responsive, immersive experience for DirectX 12 and macOS. Battles unfold with greater fluidity, your ship reacts with razor-sharp precision, and the vastness of space stretches before you with even greater clarity.

This is not just an upgrade – it’s evolution in motion. With an average of 10-30% higher FPS in busy scenes, every decision, every dogfight, and every daring escape is now sharper, faster, and more thrilling than ever. And this is only the beginning, paving the way for even more graphical enhancements in the future.

That Friday feeling has arrived, which also occasionally means it's Community Beat Day!

We wanted to celebrate the educators in New Eden for this edition of the Community Beat as the people who help us understand the universe can sometimes go urecognised for their efforts, so we wanted to give a small thank you to those who have helped players across the universe. Learning takes many forms in New Eden, for example, videos to help educate players who have been away for an extended period of time, and you want to help them get caught up. Say no more, this video from BushidoMaru caught our attention to help with exactly that!

Capsuleers,

A wave of impactful updates has landed in New Eden, addressing everything from capital ship production costs to Factional Warfare and force projection. These changes, shaped by community feedback and discussions with the CSM, set the stage for a more balanced, engaging, and competitive universe.

Industrial Overhaul

Manufacturing capital ships and Tech I battleships is now cheaper, reducing the resource strain and making fleet deployments more feasible. Lower costs mean less risk when bringing these hulls to battle, reinforcing their role in fleet warfare.

The Drifter Crisis is escalating as the empires, corporations, and pirate factions of New Eden push back. Capsuleers are called upon to take up arms in a Race for the Hives, not for personal glory, but to help their chosen faction claim a Drifter wormhole system.

Capsuleers, 

The storm is breaking. The time to act is now. The Drifter Crisis is escalating as the empires, corporations, and pirate factions of New Eden push back. Capsuleers are called upon to take up arms in a Race for the Hives, not for personal glory, but to carve out a future for their chosen faction in the war against the Drifters.

Fight for Your Faction

A seasonal challenge and reward track has been introduced, giving capsuleers the chance to score points for one of 10 factions as they push back against the Drifter threat. While they share a common goal, these factions are not allies. They are rivals, each seeking to claim power, resources, and strategic footholds in the war, as they rac...

Performance-hungry capsuleers

A recent EVE Evolved blog discussed how Quasar allowed for big improvements in how network communication is managed for features like SKINR. In this final installment of a series of dev blogs spotlighting EVE Evolved initiatives, the conversation moves nicely onto client performance and discusses a graphical rendering improvement scheduled for release in March.

Trinity

From flying in small, beautiful dungeons to fleet fights containing thousands of players, the number of situations players can find themselves in is vast. This provides a lot of technical challenges that are unique to EVE Online, all of which impact how the game feels and plays.

One of those challenges is “How do you display all of thi...

TL;DR 

• A number of mining changes are going out to alleviate a number of problems in Nullsec. 

• We don’t anticipate these will be a one-and-done fix. 

• I’ll check in with the community every two weeks and we’ll make additional adjustments around every four weeks until we get the ecosystem to a healthy place. 

Hey folks, I’m CCP Okami, the Game Design Director on EVE Online. 

I started on the EVE Online team while we were shipping Equinox and I’ve been here ever since. As a lot of you know, Equinox was a super challenging expansion, especially from a design perspective, and I feel like I’ve been through a trial by fire, both learning EVE, understanding the community, and trying to support the design team in iterating to a place where we can all feel content. 

We’re not quite there yet and like most things in EVE, this will take time. 

Today I want to talk about m...

Dear players,  

The aim for this dev blog is to shine some light on monetization goals, new products and branding when it comes to packs and bundles and how it all fits into the game monetization pillars – progression, convenience and identity.

The Road to Here

The existing strategy for the starter packs and career packs has been to serve a wide array of players, from a completely new player to a veteran with 15+ years of experience. This, however, meant that the packs contained items that a new player perhaps didn't understand, a veteran didn't need, or price points that didn't reflect players’ current gameplay level or commitment. Players making their first steps in the Air Career Program, running level 4/5 missions, Faction Warfare, or Lowsec piracy, Nullsec or Wormhole space PvP have very different needs.  ...
