EVE Online

Attention, capsuleers!

EVE Online continues to evolve and invest in the day-to-day experience of its players and its technological foundations to stay on course for a successful third decade in New Eden. This now includes the full rollout of the sparkling new Photon UI, as well as improvements to the multiple overview feature, Tranquility server hardware upgrades, and more!

Also evolving are the fortunes of New Eden’s great empires and EVE Online’s events, moving more purposefully towards a narrative-driven schedule instead of the previously established annual calendar of in-game events. This will be informed by the roadmap for upcoming happenings in EVE, first introduced in the Producer’s Letter[www.... Read more

Everyone knows that the best part of EVE is winning- and for those who like to keep track of how they’re doing, Factional Warfare leaderbo... Read more

Calling all capsuleers,

This year’s Fanfest is poised to be an unforgettable celebration of the game and its players, making it a must-attend for anyone passionate about EVE Online. Some of the spectacular events of this year’s festival are now being announced, starting with European Space Agency (ESA) senior advisor for Science & Exploration Mark McCaughrean’s guest lecture on the James Webb Space Telescope and Daði Freyr’s musical performance at the Party at the Top of the World.

Space can be a solitary place, with its vast distances and empty voids. This makes companionship all the more precious and important, and it’s no secret that the EVE community is the heart and soul of New Eden. Which is why it’s always a special time when players get together in Iceland for Fanfest, and this year’s celebration is extra special, as we celebrate 20 years of EVE.

Greetings capsuleers,

Strategy, knowledge, and preparedness are vital to succeed in the harsh competitive world of New Eden. For many playstyles in EVE, access to and understanding of data can spell the difference between victory and defeat.EVE has been referred to as spreadsheets in space, and there will soon be even better opportunities to excel at the game (see what we did there?).

Data extraction from the game is about to become easier than ever before with a new EVE Online Microsoft Excel add-in, developed in collaboration with Microsoft, which will allow players to log in and pull in-game data directly into spreadsheets. This can be both generic New Eden data as well as character-based stats, such as wallet balance, recent market orders and asset information. The ability to easily work with these figures in any number of ways will even the playing field in data driven warfare and democratize intelligence gathering, without requiring coding knowledge.

Attention capsuleers,

It’s time to kick off yet another action filled year, as EVE gets closer to its 20th anniversary and the start of the third thrilling decade in New Eden. This year promises to be filled with intrigue, action, and events.

Uprisen capsuleers,

It’s an incredibly thrilling time to be a capsuleer in New Eden as we embark on a new year in EVE Online. The frontlines have been buzzing with activity and some big shifts are happening in the political landscape. Since the launch of the Uprising expansion in November 2022, the activity in New Eden has exceeded our wildest expectations with active player counts swelling since release and - more importantly - pilots being more active in space. Particularly notable has been the sharp 75% increase in PvP kills in lowsec as well as the 11% PvP kill increase in highsec despite the additional restrictions on ganking and changes to Abyssal Deadspace following the release. This has pushed industry and mining significantly, with navy ship production rising 14,709% and capital manufacturing seeing a 34% bump!

Now that we have entered a new year and are marching toward EVE’s 20th anniversary, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on last year, the latest e... Read more
