EVE Online

Festive capsuleers,

It’s that time of year again, when we feast, exchange gifts, and reminisce about the past. And what a year it’s been! This year has seen exciting developments for EVE Online, including the release of the Uprising expansion, bringing new ships, updates to Factional Warfare, and more space goodies; the welcoming of Spanish speaking players into Nuevo Edén; the return of EVE Fanfest to Iceland; improvements to the new player experience; EVE Evolved setting the course for the future, with features designed to enhance the sensory experience of New Eden like never before; and so much more. New Eden is vibrant and full of life as EVE enters its 20th year, giving us even more cause for celebration.

This year was all about coming together. The EVE community is the lifeblood of New Eden, and this year was an amazing one, full of achievements, accomplishments, and incredible experiences. Together you’ve had fun blowing each other up, exploring the far reach... Read more

Knowledgeable capsuleers,

With the holiday season upon us and EVE Online’s 20th anniversary just over the horizon, the time has come to put out the call for player presenters at EVE Fanfest 2023!

Attention capsuleers,

War-hungry capsuleers,

The face of war in New Eden has changed since the launch of Uprising, EVE’s latest narrative-driven expansion. The conflict between the four main empires has seen noticeable escalation over the last several months. They are beginning to directly intervene in the warzones, and the diplomatic ties they once shared seem to be increasingly ignored. The Uprising expansion ushered in a suite of new navy ships, corporation and alliance emblems for ships, new immersive Upwell hangars, and major changes to Factional Warfare (FW), signaling the future of war arriving to New Eden.

Now that the expansion has been live for several weeks, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the changes to Factional Warfare and give you a sneak peek into what’s coming up next in the warzone.
FACTIONAL WARFARE- PAST AND PRESENT Before the Uprising expansion, one of the key desires of players was to make Factional Warfare easier to navigate and easier to locate the... Read more

Just as with the previous packs, each is filled with items that accelerate your early progress, giving you a chance to taste more of the full EVE experience, and letting you try on SKINs and other cosmetic items for size.

Industrious capsuleers,

Ever since the Uprising expansion went live on 8 November, there’s been a lot happening and a lot to do in New Eden. Factional Warfare activity has significantly increased, the arrival of new capsuleer communities in New Eden has been celebrated, new settings for EVE’s trusty overview have entered testing, Black Friday offers have gone live, and you can participate and benefit from absolutely all of that and more this weekend!

FACTIONAL WAR ROOM
Following the release of Uprising, Factional Warfare (FW) has heated up with over 5,300 new pilots enrolling in faction militia groups to participate! As a result of increased FW activity, the map of New Eden has changed – and continues to change – based on player activity. Whether Alpha or Omega, recruitment drives have been active across the cluster, with players of all experience levels being employed across a variety of activities.

With the updated ship restrictions on the various c... Read more

Why Photon? Photon is a massive undertaking to overhaul the EVE User Interface. The current UI is functional, so many players have asked why we chose to embark on a large project like this.

During its twenty year development, EVE has seen many features, all with specific user interface needs. Some of these features have pushed the UI into new territory, exploring new ways to improve the interface, but not always with an established design language in mind. This has made parts of the UI less than cohesive, even confusing, and difficult to master. In addition, maintaining many UI styles is ineffective, leading to increased development time.

Last year saw the formation of a dedicated User Experience team, whose primary responsibility would be the in-space experience of EVE Online. As EVE’s user interface allows access to nearly every feature while in space, there was a lot to consider. Efficiency and sustainability need to be considered, not only from a development ...
