Noble Citizens of New Eden,

It is once again the time of year when we set out to assemble the next Council of Stellar Management, which will closely collaborate with CCP Games in the ongoing development of EVE Online. The democratic elections we are about to embark on are a unique tool within the gaming industry, providing unparalleled access to developers and embodying the tremendous value we see in shaping the future of the game hand-in-hand with the players who have shaped the world and history of EVE into what it is today. We cannot express enough how deeply appreciative we are for the dedication and passion the EVE community has demonstrated in the game’s nearly nineteen years, and for every invaluable player who is ready and willing to offer their time and work with us to continue improving the world’s largest living work of science-fiction!

Though we unfortunately were not able to welcome the council to Reykjavik this term for the yearly CSM summit, th... Read more

Strategic Capsuleers,

Running for 24 hours from 23 - 24 April, this Proving Grounds clash asks you go head-to-head and flex your combat skills. It’s also the perfect chance to get a feel for a newly revamped classic hull.

With millions of market transactions and hundreds of thousands of explosions every day, keeping New Eden running smoothly – and still setting records after nearly 20 years – is a monumental task. Like our players, we’re constantly on the hunt to push boundaries. In the last two years, we’ve made significant changes to the hardware behind Tranquility, resulting in almost daily records for EVE downtime (among other things). But to see where we are, it’s important to look at where we’ve been.

Back in 2005, only 2 years after launch, EVE was already setting records as a standout single-shard universe. New Eden was generating some 1,250 database calls per second which added up to over 60 million per day! As more players came online, the servers struggled to keep up. Game features were taking over 20 seconds to load, making everyday tasks in New Eden such as warping across the galaxy, completing market transactions at the new major market hub Jita 4-4, and upgrading your ship...

Capital Capsuleers,

A new update is now available to test on the Singularity test server[community.eveonline.com] bringing sweeping changes that are sure to shake the landscape of capital combat and structure defense.

For starters, the blueprints of industry components used to manufacture battleships, capitals, and supercapitals will be adjusted to lower manufacturing times and costs. Dreadnoughts, in particular, will see their costs become significantly cheaper, giving you more chances to use them in space without as much impact on your wallet.

You can find all the juicy details on the EVE forums... Read more

Competitive Capsuleers!

The Hunt is upon us! As part of the ongoing celebrations you’ll be able to test your mettle in an exciting new Proving Grounds, built around brutal 1 v 1 Assault Frigate combat!

As always, there’s a fresh twist to proceedings in this new event, which is scheduled to run from 15-18 April. Modules are restricted to Meta 5, but you’ll enjoy a 10% bonus to kinetic and thermal missile damage while fighting in the arena!

All Assault Frigates qualify for this new encounter, but certain modules are banned from this new format:
