EVE Online Dev Tracker

Hello spacefriends and welcome to the latest Community Beat! New Eden never slows down and neither do you! Once again we’re spoiled for exciting developments from the community to talk about but here are some of the highlights that caught our attention over the last two weeks:

Guristas and Angel Cartel Data Fragments

Eagle-eyed EVE players have recently noticed that certain Guristas and Angel Cartel NPCs are dropping data fragments that, when stitched together, seem to show schematics of unfamiliar ships.

One such capsuleer is HongsamCandy who has been collecting fragments of a Guristas ship and by reconstructing them has hit upon what appears to be some kind of destroyer-class vessel, apparently based on the Corax hull:

Worldwide capsuleers,

Following the launch of pre-orders for the EVE 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition it came to our attention that not all denizens of New Eden were being treated equally due to shipping, duties and taxes of considerable variation being applied to orders.

Real world shipping, duties and taxes are simply a fact of life, and are sadly out of our control. We can, however, attempt to bring a degree of fairness to those who do show their support and make a purchase, and so this is exactly what we will do, through the gifting of PLEX.

For anyone who orders the 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition, a sum of PLEX will be gifted, based on the total extra cost incurred by the customer. Below is a table detailing the PLEX quantity that will be gifted:

Inquisitive capsuleers,

A plan has been set in motion.

In the wake of the Empires’ shadow war, Guri Malakim raids centered on pilfering ancient technology, and the recent notice of new market interests among certain pirate factions, capsuleer sources are now reporting the recovery of what appear to be classified Guristas ship development documents from the wreckage of high-ranking Guristas commanders across the cluster:

Tantalizing as they may be on their own, the unguarded spread of these documents among the ranks of the Guristas alongside other recent events hints at a much deeper potential purpose; whatever may have compelled the creation of these designs, it is certain that their discovery represents only the first step on the path to illuminating far larger ambitions taking shape somewhere in the shrouded corners of New Eden.

Whatever comes next is yours to discover, capsuleers; venture out in search of secrets hidden among the stars a...

Renegade Capsuleers,

A special Liberation Day pack has been added to the EVE Store. Pick one up, and you’ll get a new booster never before seen in New Eden, new Chainbreaker Khumaak SKINs for 8 ship hulls, Skill Points, and PLEX.

The Heimatar Rise Accelerator’s base duration is set at two days (or four days at max skill levels), so make sure to get the most out of it.
