Gladiatorial Capsuleers,

Alliance Tournament XVIII is fast approaching! This weekend, the qualified teams have been practicing hard to prepare for the annual bloodbath in the arena that will take place as the first of two weekends of combat, but before gazing at the explosions, it’s time to look at the epic prizes that are up for grabs this year – both for the competitors, and for those cheering on their teams.

Prize Ships

We know you’ve all been itching to see specifics for the prize ships for this year’s tournament. Earlier we had announced that we would rerelease the Mimir and the Freki and we still withhold that as a future possibility. However, the rewards this year will be two entirely new ships that take inspiration from the iconic Mimir and Freki and we’re delighted to be able to share their stats with you here today:

Geri:

Assault Frigate 5-4-4, 3 Missiles, 2 Turrets

10mbit bandwidth, 50m3 bay

Assault Frigate Bonuses per ...

Ambitious capsuleers,

Multiple Character Training (MCT) is now available at 50% off its full price over in the EVE store. The discounted price runs from 11-15 November, celebrating Singles Day.

MCT gives you the ability to simultaneously train and develop skills across multiple characters on a single account. As such, MCT presents an opportunity to bypass training one character at a time, letting you increase your potential and influence across the start cluster. Whatever your goals in New Eden are, this limited-time offer will get you to them faster!

MCT has also made its debut in the New Eden Store (NES)! You can finally trade PLEX for MCT, so if you have PLEX to spend, MCT offers a powerful return on investment for NES customers. Just like the one in the EVE Store, MCT cannot be traded, and may only be used by active Omega accounts.

Loyal capsuleers,

EVE Online’s exciting new narrative-driven expansion is here and live now, so it’s time for you to choose your fight and join the Uprising! The introduction of brand-new navy dreadnoughts and destroyers brings even more variety to the battlefield as well as intimidating new visuals. In addition, the future of war arrives as Factional Warfare has received a significant update with the launch of the Frontlines and Advantage systems, focusing capsuleer efforts on emerging conflict hot spots. On top of all that, you can now fly your colors proudly in the warzone – and anywhere in New Eden - with corporation and alliance emblems on ships, which you can also enjoy in the incredible enhanced audio and visual environment of new Upwell hangars!

As the tensions have steadily but significantly escalated between the empires of New Eden in recent months, conflicts will continue to ignite across the cluster in the wake of the stellar transmuter accident and the inv...

Security Conscious Capsuleers,

As part of the Uprising expansion, we are making some important changes that will largely affect players in Highsec. The goal of these designs is to address the following issues:

• Griefing of new players and low value targets
• Risk vs Reward dynamic of Abyssal Deadspace filaments
• Shortage of legitimate player targets in high security space

To achieve these goals, we’ll be introducing the following new restrictions and limitations:

• Limit tethering for players with low security status in Highsec
• Docking restrictions for outlaws in high security space
• Changing the security settings for Alpha accounts and removing the option to disable safety (“Safety red”)
• Updated rulesets for Abyssal Deadspace filament activation

Griefing versus Ganking

Concerned capsuleers,

Last week, scientists who had been monitoring the progress of the Imperial Prototype Stellar Transmuter in the Turnur system raised the alarm that the star would reach a "terminal phase" around 17:00 New Eden Standard Time on 2 November, as covered in this news article and in the most recent episode of The Scope.

Planetary industry workers on Turnur I were evacuated from the planet and capsuleers were warned to proceed with caution upon entering the system, particularly around the projected “termin...

Hotshot capsuleers,

The Uprising expansion, officially landing 8 November, will unleash 16 new ships into New Eden! These new ships let capsuleers get behind the controls of some powerful new technology.

In recent weeks, pilots across the star cluster have already been collecting blueprints and uncovering new frigates and battlecruisers as part of Empire Frontiers, following the Triglavian Collective’s invasion.

Now, however, eight additional new ships for a total of 16 are due to be made available across New Eden, with each empire producing its own fresh frigate, battlecruiser, destroyer, and dreadnought variant. The result of countless hours of careful work making sure t...

Trick or treating capsuleers,

Something spooky is happening in the EVE Store and New Eden Store this Halloween. Devilish deals seem to have appeared as a special treat for capsuleers. In the EVE Store, you´ll find a range of PLEX packs with free Sanguinary Savant SKINs and select ones with a 13% discount! 13 might be unlucky for some, but not to the pilots of New Eden.

The PLEX deals are as follows:

• Get 250 PLEX and receive a free Punisher SKIN

• Get 500 PLEX and receive a free Punisher and Dragoon SKINs

• Get 13% off 1000 PLEX and rece...

Curious capsuleers,

Over the last several months, the race has been on amongst the empires to be the first to gain access to Stellar Transmuter technology by fighting for control over the Turnur, Egmar, and Vard systems and building upon this coveted technology.

However, concerns grow as the research into the Stellar Transmuters begins to have some unforeseen implications. As covered in the latest episode of the Scope, the Turnur system's star appears to have been destabilized beyond recovery by the activity of the Prototype Stellar Transmuter placed in orbit by the Amarr Empire. Stellar radiation emitted by the star has been fluctuating at ever shorter intervals, seemingly heading towards an imminent cres...

Fantastic capsuleers!

EVE Vegas was this weekend, and with just over 200 official attendants it’s one of the largest player meets in North America. We were happy to attend and share with players a little bit of what we’ve been up to since Fanfest, and what they can expect with the Uprising expansion just around the corner in November.

We’ve been focusing on five pillars of gameplay. Firstly, giving players tools to create stronger organizations. We have also been working with players and the CSM to prioritize dozens of Quality of Life changes for all types of players, some of which you have seen, like changes to the SMA and COSMOS agents.

Next is more forward-looking, specifically what the future of warfare looks like, and creating systems and tools that help you all blow one another up. Enriching player identity through visuals like corporation and alliance emblems on ships has been another focus, allowing you and your friends to proudly display your space flag...

Combative capsuleers,

The Uprising expansion – a major new narrative-driven update for EVE Online – is coming in November and brings with it the biggest overhaul to Factional Warfare that New Eden has ever seen. The arrival of Frontlines will be a big change to how the empires' militias compete for control of the warzones on Tranquility.

To encourage participation during the testing period on Singularity and thereby obtain as much valuable feedback as possible on this new feature we are hosting a Frontlines Wargame on the Singularity test server with some cool rewards to be granted on Tranquility for individual capsuleers and player corporations who distinguish themselves!

The wargame will commence at 14:00 UTC on 26 October when Singularity becomes accessible to players after the initial state of the Amarr/Minmatar warzone on Singularity is set up and it will conclude at 14:00 UTC on 4 November when Singularity will be taken offline and analysi...

Courageous capsuleers,

As EVE’s major new narrative-driven expansion Uprising approaches, you can start gearing up for the big day by testing the Frontlines and Advantage systems on the Singularity test server now!

The new Frontlines feature in Factional Warfare (FW) will draw pilots closer to the borders of their opponents and present new rewarding challenges that focus capsuleer efforts towards key, emerging conflict hot spots where empire history will be written! Systems in a FW warzone can have different operational states which are designated as follows:

• Frontline - adjacent to an enemy-controlled star system, the absolute heart of the battle, and the highest level of reward!
• Command Operations - adjacent to a Frontline system, vital for strategic supremacy with standard LP rewards.
• Rearguard - when none of the above apply, a relative safe zone in the maelstrom.

The operational state of the FW system will determine its ...

Frightful capsuleers,

In space, nobody may be able to hear you scream. But through Halloween, New Eden will be filled with blood-curdling cries of delight as a new season of terrifically terrifying events begins in celebration of the spookiest time of the year.

What that means is that pilots can get some monstrous enjoyment from a range of special events, offers, rewards, loot drops, and more across the Halloween period, running 20 Oct-1 Nov. There’s a lot going on, and if you miss out it might haunt you for years. To make sure that never happens, here’s a roundup of Halloween Horror’s grotesque wonders!

CRIMSON HARVEST

The focal point of this year’s Halloween Horrors season will be the Crimson Harvest, which lets pilots throw themselves into the bloody conflict between the frightfully powerful Blood Raider Covenant and the Order of Tetrimon, an Amarr-aligned order of fundamentalist warrior monks. Head into the star cluster between 20 October and 1 Nove...

Glorified Kybernauts,

Two years ago, following months of ceaseless conflict between the tenuously united Empires under EDENCOM, the resurfaced Triglavian Collective, and innumerable capsuleers or Kybernauts aiding both sides, the campaign of Liminal Proving heralded by Zorya Triglav came to a close.

As a 27th system processed into Final Liminality, the Collective evoked Totality from the transmuted stars, altering spacetime between them to bridge the boundary between New Eden and Abyssal Deadspace. Weaving the systems together with conduit gates, each Clade soon claimed their Krai – and the leviathan conduit-loop construct known as the Domain of Pochven was defined.

Today, Kybernauts across New Eden celebrate the second anniversary of the formation of Pochven on Totality Day, a capsuleer holiday started by those who aided the...
