EVE Online

Supportive Capsuleers,

It’s that time of year once again: get ready for another action-packed GM week, running from 5-9 September! Festivities include in-game events, contests, streams, prizes, and more; there’s something for every Capsuleer to enjoy, so jump in, meet the GMs who maintain the world of EVE and join the celebrations!

EVENTS
Whack-a-Bot – 5 September at 16:30 UTC


The always-popular Whack-a-Bot event, taking place in Yulai, lines up an array of ships and pilots identified as using CONCORD-prohibited automatic piloting technology in progressing size – teleporting them to a battlefield of hungry Capsuleers, rearing and ready to tear them apart! This event will also be streamed on the official CCP Twitch, so even if you can’t make it to Yulai, you’ll be free to sit back and enjoy the carnage!

Bold Capsuleers,

The fourth & final volume of EVE: Capsuleer Chronicles is available now!

Raravoss falls to the Triglavian Collective, assisted by those who chose to side with them against the Empires; amid the chaos, join one Amarrian Capsuleer who long ago rejected the teachings of his youth as he reaches out to aid the Minmatar Ria, and follow the two as they attempt to escape the irreversible consequences of Final Liminality.



For the empyreans of New Eden, among whom killing is merely one of many means of communication, there is nothing more valuable than trust – and when one places trust in another, whether it be hard-won or a last-ditch gamble, they may in their darkest hour see it returned. On the tumultuous borderline of change, how will this chapter of two immortals’ lives conclude? Jump in and find out!

Calling all pilots!

In celebration of this fine Union Day, a very special 2v2 frigate frenzy is coming to the Abyssal Proving Grounds. This event will run from 2-5 September and will allow use of the following ships: Merlin, Kestrel, and Condor.

Getting into the spirit of the festivities, these dramatic duels will feature team-based frigate combat, and the gauntlet is thrown to Caldari frigate enthusiasts of all abilities, bringing together grizzled veterans and young hot shots.

What would a Union Day celebration be without a universally accessible event? In a bid to entice budding new Capsuleers , module choices for the event are limited to Meta 0 base modules only.

This special frigate frenzy is a true test of skill, meaning that you will be required to battle without the aid of the following: weapon disruptors, sensor dampeners, shield rechargers, shield power relays, shield flux coils, shield boost amplifiers, and core defence field purger... Read more

Story-Loving Capsuleers,

The narrative prelude to upcoming Factional Warfare changes is officially underway ushering in a new era in EVE development. Arcs act as the driver for introducing new features in EVE while also allowing you, the capsuleers, to interact with the story and in some cases, even impact it directly.

Narrative arcs have become the framework for planning, designing, and implementing Factional Warfare changes with the goal of using arcs to guide future development of EVE’s living universe overall. You can read more about the upcoming Factional Warfare changes in the EVE – A Living Universe Presentation ... Read more

Illustrious Capsuleers,

Caldari Union Day is upon us once again with more gifts, rewards, and content than ever before. This annual event celebrates the strength of both the State, and the Caldari Workers Union. Union Day also serves as the time where all eight Caldari megacorporations will come together to host a planning summit for the following year.

This year, the State will be holding a friendly competition between megacorporations for the rights to Jita 4-4's security contract. The corp that wins the contract will become the new protectors of Jita, standing proud at the gates of New Eden’s commercial centre! As a Capsuleer, you can join up as a corporate champion for corp that best represents you. Help them win the contract in the Union Day activities while winning yourself some unique rewards along the way!

The celebrations begin now, running for 12 days through until 6 September.

Economical Capsuleers,

As any seasoned pilot will tell you, upgrading to Omega gives you the full EVE experience. And from 20-to-22 August, you can get 15% off the regular price of Omega over at the EVE store[secure.eveonline.com].

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!

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

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
