EVE Online

Welcome back to the Beat!

We often say that EVE players rock our world. Since our last Beat, that has actually been quite literal! CCP Studios, based in Reykajvik, has played home to some serious geological activity in the last two weeks. After a series of earthquakes, the Geldingadalir volcano became active once again. If you’d like to bring some Icelandic ambiance into your homes, check out the live coverage of the activity below:



But we’re not going to be stopped by some pesky lava! This week we take a look back at some developer chats, marvel at AI inspired art, and look forward to some player events in and out of game. Let’s get to it!

AI Generated Art
Text-to-image generators have been all the rage this summer, and players have been creating everything from great memes to jaw-dropping... Read more

International capsuleers,

http://www.eveonline.com has now launched in Korean, elevating the EVE experience for all Korean-speaking players; and growing the community for pilots globally.

Warzone Capsuleers!

Devoted Capsuleers,

Amarr Foundation Day is here and it’s time for a free-for-all in the Proving Grounds. Four Capsuleers will enter, but only one will leave a victor! Choose from the Tormentor, Punisher, or Executioner and fit it with meta 0 modules, meaning Tech 1 only and no named modules. This event runs from 5-8 August so there’s plenty of time this weekend to have some Proving Grounds fun.

To bring newer Capsuleers up to speed, be sure to use your Amarr Foundation Day Expert System from your daily gifts during the Foundation Day celebrations to get Amarr Frigate 5 and all the skills you need to win!

To spice up the combat, during this proving ground event a large Tachyon Cloud with a 40km radius will be located in the center of the arena. Ships located within this cloud will receive an additional bonus that increases velocity by 200%, decreases ship inertia by 50%, and increases signature radius by 100%.

And as always, further restrictions ... Read more

Zealous Capsuleers,

Prepare to raise the banners high, dust off the theorycrafting spreadsheets, and blow the war horn. The time for the next Alliance Tournament will soon be upon us as we return for the 18th time!

Alliances will once again be sending up to ten of their most versed combatants to fight it out in the arena for glory and epic prizes. They’ll be broadcasted out to the rest of the cluster with their teams and the EVE community cheering on for their conquest! Experienced Casters and Commentators also will be joining us to help break down the tournament content for viewers and (hopefully) assist with who they would put their channel points on to win even more prizes!

Today's announcement will primarily highlight the key dates in the next few months to help everyone schedule around the Tournament a little better. They will be summarized in bullet point fashion at the end of this article as well. Also, as is tradition, we will outline a few ... Read more

In the past week, we have been made aware of several disturbing allegations that have taken place outside of our official channels yet, nonetheless have no place in the EVE Online experience. Some cases have directly violated our Event Code of Conduct[community.eveonline.com]. We take these allegations seriously and have already taken steps to investigate them, submitting evidence to proper authorities as appropriate.

While New Eden offers you the freedom of expression in the sandbox, we must balance in-game identity and freedom with the long-term health of the EVE player community, ensuring it is a space in which all feel welcome and safe. Any form of harassment, hate speech, intolerance, racism, or abuse taking place as outlined in the ... Read more

Battle-ready Capsuleers,

The new Abyssal Proving Grounds season is starting with a bang, with the first round focusing on high intensity 1v1 battlecruiser combat.

In this unique round – running 23-25 July exclusively – you’ll find the arena scattered with high numbers of exploding Bonus Nexus objects. Get too close to one and you’ll detonate it, triggering a blast that applies weapon and mobility buffs to your ship... but not your rival’s. And if they blow up a Nexus object, they’ll enjoy the same gains. It’s a sure-fire way to mix up the dynamic of each battle, bringing plenty of twists of fate and dramatic finishes.

If that weren’t enough, this Proving Grounds round introduces a repeatable challenge. Deal at least 7000 damage to your opponent in a single battle, and you’ll get a 20 million ISK reward.

All ships that enter the arena will also gain double the benefits of overheating the following module groups:

• Tackle ...

Build-loving Capsuleers,

Since the Star Citizen community challenged us to a LEGO build off a lot has happened. The Battle of the Bricks event has seen LEGO master builders and newcomers alike recreate classic ships from EVE Online and Star Citizen, with each community keen to prove they are the best when it comes to reimagining spacecraft in the iconic bricks.

The submissions from both communities have been incredible and varied, from the playfully minimal to the mind-blowingly ambitious, via the likes of fascinating LEGO Technic builds.

With all the submissions in as digital renders, now comes the fun part. The best LEGO builds sent in will now be built in LEGO live on a special stream that will bri... Read more

Greetings, Capsuleers!

It’s been a while since our last update on the efforts of the Security team in their battle against Real Money Trading (RMT), botting, account hacking, and fraud – so without further ado, let’s jump right into this comprehensive overview and update on EVE’s security!

Who is Team Security? First, we’d like to cover who exactly is on the team, and what each member does. In the past year there have been both leavers and joiners, with the current team comprising:

• CCP Grimmi and CCP Stinger, two full time security analysts whose existence is dedicated to hunting down bot farms and credit card fraudsters.
• Senior GM Aisling and Senior GM Huginn, who focus on anti-RMT (ISK or Item selling/buying) and account security.
• A team of programmers who work on bot detection software tools while also sharing their time across other Customer Support projects.
