EVE Online | The Scope - Chemal Tech Convoy DestroyedMar 26, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsWatch as Alton Haveri reports for the Scope on the destruction of a Chemal Tech convoy by capsuleers after leaked intelligence compromised their route and cargo. Chemal Tech geneticists recovered from the wreck of the deep space transport at the center of the convoy are now in capsuleer hands. https://store.steampowered.com/app/8500/EVE_Online/EVE Online | Pulse – Convoy Attack, March Vanguard PlaytestMar 25, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsThe Pulse comes to you from the heart of Jita 4-4, your source of news from EVE Online! This episode contains details on the following: 00:00 - Intro 00:21 - EVE Online: Havoc update 01:54 - EVE Vanguard First Strike January playtest 02:39 - Directors’ Letter 02:55 - Anger Games 6 03:13 - EVE: War for New Eden Kickstarter 03:28 - New Starter Packs 03:48 - Outro GET READY TO JUMP INTO EVE VANGUARDMar 21, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings Vanguard, In the past few months, legions of warclones have gone boots-on-the-ground to try out EVE Vanguard, the sci-fi sandbox FPS set in New Eden, thereby helping to forge the future of the broader EVE Universe. Soon, the doors will open once more, allowing valiant warclones to try out a new mining prototype, a new warclone suit, contribute to suppression in the system, and much more. The upcoming First Strike playtest kicks off at 12:00 UTC on 21 March and runs until 12:00 UTC on 25 March, and is open to all Omega players as a part of Founders’ Access. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/088484bcf158dcb1f96763b0155d4a8e8a0b3864.jpg BUILDING THE NEW BATTLEFIELD As EVE Vanguard continues to evolve, the community’s feedback following each First Strike playtest leads to subtle yet impactful enhancements. The latest build introduces a new mining laser prototype, bringing a strategic layer to resource gathering, essential for survival and accomplishing contract objectives. An early version of a mining laser will be included in players’ default inventory, allowing the mining of ore and opening of tech vaults. Vanguard can passively scan for these resources when the mining laser is equipped, and coupled with the introduction of new mining contracts, this opens up brand new content and dynamics to the battlefield. In addition, minable resources have been added to crafting recipes, and energy ammo can now only be crafted using mined resources (click to watch a video below). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/db75b433051e44d772461d9dc6a1c38f8e647af1.png The new Vanguard build also introduces a new warclone suit, as well as a new and updated suit for NPCs. These updates aim to deepen tactical gameplay and visually distinguish Vanguard from NPCs on the battlefield. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/a12db766841e2501572dc3c84ed9e4f9d3be9f73.png Another notable addition in the latest iteration is the introduction of suppression contracts, bringing new dynamics to EVE Vanguard. Warclones now have a choice between sides in the ongoing struggle between order and disorder in New Eden. All corruption contracts have received suppression versions, leveling the playing field between the two sides. In addition, NPCs now drop ammunition as well as biomass, with higher ranking enemies dropping more kinetic ammo than their lowlier counterparts, and elite NPCs drop energy ammo. All this marks the beginning of added complexity and depth coming to EVE Vanguard. In addition to the introduction of these in-development features, several fixes and improvements have also been made, based on player feedback:  Combat and rewards have received balancing improvements. Multiple server performance improvements have been made, including fixes to server and client crashes. An issue with deployable shields being active longer than they should has been fixed. An issue has been fixed, which allowed players to perform multiple actions simultaneously, that should have been mutually exclusive, such as hea...EVE Online dev CCP's blockchain "survival experience" Project Awakening is getting a closed playtest in MayMar 13, 2024 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunCCP Games have shared a few more details about Project Awakening, a new game or at least, "survival experience" set in the Eve Online universe, which is getting a closed playtest from 21st May 2024. Project Awakening is a single-shard affair - that is, one in which all players inhabit the same world, rather than being split up across servers or instances. It's "built upon the principles of freedom, consequence, and mastery within a living universe", and "represents the next step in CCP Games' journey to create virtual worlds more meaningful than real life", which, you know, wind your neck in. Read more CCP reveals first details of survival game set on a single shard in the EVE universe, but wait: here comes the blockchainMar 13, 2024 - PC GamerEVE developer CCP games announced last year it was working on a blockchain-based game set in the space MMO's universe, codenamed Project Awakening, and has now revealed the first details and an upcoming playtest. The Icelandic studio rather boldly says this is the next step in its quest to "create virtual worlds more meaningful than real life."

A new update sees an influx of strategic enhancements, focusing on enriched Factional Warfare experience, quality of life improvements, and the much-requested return of Loyalty Point (LP) donations. Many of the changes being implemented are in direct response to community requests, specifically proposals for ship rebalancing via the Council of Stellar Management (CSM), which recently concluded its annual summit in Reykjavik. UNITED THROUGH LOYALTY Cooperation within corporations is a cornerstone of EVE Online, and the return of LP donations is a key step toward further fostering this vital aspect of gameplay. Since LP donations were paused following the release of the Havoc expansion for monitoring the new ecosystem, many groups & communities within the warzone and beyond have expressed a strong need to have this re-enabled sooner rather than later. The ecosystem will continue to be monitored, so in anticipation of the potential impact on the economy and to ensure a balanced environment, a future update will introduce a tax system to these transactions. This enhancement is part of EVE's ongoing commitment to respond to community feedback and to refine the in-game experience, making cooperation not just a part of survival in New Eden but a thriving aspect of its rich, player-driven narrative. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/86dfe2f36590d082fdaed6d8410ac6258f2696a9.jpg FACTIONAL WARFARE ELEVATED The EVE community has pointed out myriad opportunities for rebalancing through the CSM, and this feedback has been instrumental in the changes implemented in the new update. In the spirit of fostering a more dynamic and competitive Factional Warfare environment, significant ship rebalances are being introduced to enrich capsuleers' strategic options in New Eden. The essence of these changes lies in addressing the dominance of certain ships, such as the Exequror Navy Issue, Osprey Navy Issue, and Caracal, which have historically overshadowed their counterparts due to their superior range and damage capabilities. These vessels receive slight adjustments to ensure they don’t dramatically surpass the diversity of viable ships in their respective classes. Furthermore, the Bellicose and the Republic Fleet Firetail receive much-needed enhancements to affirm their place in the combat ecosystem. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/7ac3b95d323ee4de5ddaf39e66b084e98423510d.jpg TACTICAL TWEAKS Throughout the cluster, nuanced adjustments are being introduced to refine the PvP experience, particularly for veteran pilots. These tweaks, grounded in player input, aim to subtly enhance the strategic diversity and balance of ship performance, making engagements more dynamic without drastically altering the established combat landscape. Marauders will experience a minor reduction in warp speed, a change designed to subtly a...New Starter Pack available now!Feb 16, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsUp-and-coming capsuleers, Starting your journey in New Eden is an exciting prospect, and you can get going even faster by securing a Starter Pack, which includes valuable items like 7 days Omega, Core Ship Operations Expert System, two Basic Glamourex Boosters, and stunning SKINs to decorate your ships. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2830570/ This pack will enable you to speed up your skill training, increase your standings with the factions of New Eden, and look amazing while doing it, all for a fantastic price.

This is a crucial move forward in the effort to deepen immersion and streamline the journey into New Eden. Customize Your Launch You will now get into space faster, as you choose your character right there in the new launcher. The new launcher sports a sleek and modern look, easier navigation, automatic updates, and improvements to security and performance. In addition, capsuleers now have brand new methods of personalization, including the ability to customize the way they select and launch a character, account, or groups of characters simultaneously. What to expect When you first open the EVE launcher after the rollout on 7 February you will get prompted to update, and as you opt in the process will start. Should you choose to wait, the new version will automatically be installed the next time you open the launcher. All your user accounts and settings will be migrated into the new version automatically, and any unnecessary files related to the old launcher will be removed from your system. Any known EVE system shortcuts will be added to the new browser, as well as a shortcut to EVE Vanguard, the in-development FPS module for EVE Online. FAQ You’ll find all the details about the new launcher on the EVE Support website but here are some of the most common questions about the new launcher: Can I go back to the old launcher? The rollout on 7 February is permanent, and the old launcher will be deprecated. Rest assured, however, that the new one does everything the old one did, and more. The old launcher left behind some files on my system. How do I get rid of them? The old launcher leaves behind some important files and registry keys. Removing those may have adverse effects, and possibly require reinstalling EVE. Additional cleanup will be performed in a future update. The update failed and nothing starts right now. In the unlikely event of this happening, download and install a copy of the launcher from eveonline.com/download. Do not uninstall the old launcher, since that will remove EVE altogether. I had personalized shortcuts that are now gone! We tried our best to prepare for as many scenarios as possible, but sadly we can’t anticipate all the different customizations our players may have thought of, so some breakage can’t be helped. I use Isboxer or other third-party tools, and everything is broken after updating. Please get in touch with the developer of the software you are using. We can provide them with limited assistance, but we do not officially support any third-party launchers. Some features are not working anymore since updating the launcher. Please submit a bug report so we can fix the issue. There is a button at the top right of the launcher that looks like a bug that takes you to the bug report feature. I have just updated the launcher, and now it’s asking me to update again. Don’t worry, this is normal. We are const...First Strike Post-Deployment ReportFeb 2, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings Vanguard, Recently, legions of warclones took to the battlefield to aid in the corruption of New Eden, lending their hand in the collaborative development of EVE Vanguard. This was the second First Strike playtest, and it was action-packed and explosive.  The Deathless puts a premium on the valor of warclones, and has kept meticulous records on Vanguard actions and achievements on the battlefield. Here are some highlights from the most recent deployment: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/c2c176ef52b06e56f2a07c95635b7fef74f4ad7e.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/fd83ea6883f72c066851d78a61ea396231226742.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/8abd3600b089de9084f00da9e5642d17de6d51ca.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/c44af5e40c61b4c7752e98158784a00083cdea9e.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/2d599d590aa256eca2aeaf12828a33656dd7bc1b.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/6ff70da37408d2f73527296f46396b84d5a558bb.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/967bf2e3f2be325845febd6b2d1498586602ace6.png DUTY CALLS The continued participation and feedback of the community in these playtests are supremely helpful in the development of EVE Vanguard. We hope to see legions of new and returning warclones in the next one, which will be in February, as announced in the Vanguard roadmap, taking place from 22 to 26 February. The event will be open to all Omega players, as in previous playtests, and there will be impressive rewards up for grabs. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/e6d5f614fd0544bd62b8b82598084e6daf695e5f.jpg We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield. EVE Online | Pulse – Havoc Update, Vanguard PlaytestJan 26, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsCapsuleers!

Jump Back into EVE VanguardJan 23, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsAttention Vanguard, It is nearly time to go planetside once more. The next First Strike playtest for EVE Vanguard is taking place from 12:00 UTC 25 January - 12:00 UTC 29 January, opening the doors once again to the in-development FPS module for EVE Online. The event is open to all Omega players as part of Founders’ Access.   ADVANCING IN FORMATION EVE Vanguard is a work in progress, being developed in collaboration with you, the community. This upcoming playtest will welcome even more warclones by opening server access in the Asia Pacific and South American territories.  The First Strike playtest event in December provided a wealth of insights which have already been put to good use in the upcoming build. Issues have been identified, bugs have been fixed and minor changes have been made, all of which would not have been possible without participation and feedback from you, the Founders. We look forward to welcoming you to the First Strike January playtest, whether you were a part of the last playtest or are a brand new Founder, and want to thank you in advance for providing vital insights to help further develop the FPS module for EVE Online. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/088484bcf158dcb1f96763b0155d4a8e8a0b3864.jpg Among the improvements and adjustments that were made based on player feedback after the playtest in December are fixes for some exploit issues discovered by players, UI changes, bugs, and more, along with numerous smaller alterations. Here is the full list of changes made for January’s playtest build:  An exploit allowing players to avoid melee cooldowns by switching ammo has been fixed. An exploit related to fire rate being connected to mouse clicks, allowing very rapid firing with no cooldowns, has been addressed. A UI change has been implemented, fixing an issue that prevented players from looting if their inventory was full. Clones appearing to be walking around after being shot dead have been addressed. A problem that caused issues with reporting players after they had left their squads has been fixed. Collisions and assets have been adjusted to address an issue with multiple players falling through the floor. An issue causing squad mates’ ping markers to get stuck on screen after re-cloning has been addressed.  An error causing the contract UI to stay on screen when extracting and redeploying into the same session has been fixed.  A fix was made to prevent AR map icons from disappearing when switching window across monitors.  An issue with changing input and output audio devices has been addressed.  An issue that caused ammo to be duplicated when shooting and changing ammo type has been fixed.  Streaming stats have been fixed to prevent flickering.  A fix has been implemented to prevent the use of macros to increase fire rate. An issue preventing users from quickly looting energy cells has been addressed.  Numerous crash fixes have been implemented.  A new informational splash screen has been added.  Numerous installation fixes h...Insurgencies Intensify - Havoc UpdateJan 16, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsAmbitious capsuleers, The Havoc expansion for EVE Online was introduced last November, and has been a big hit with capsuleers, introducing the chance to align with pirates or fight against them, in a gripping struggle between suppression and corruption. Nothing is static in New Eden, including Havoc, and the first update of the new year is now live, bringing adjustments to Pirate Insurgencies, graphical updates, certain NPCs respecting pirate alignment, and more. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/7b172a672b9f2e6afe92ffb822cc0a8458f5dfe3.png Modify your ambitions Among the things announced on stage at Fanfest 2023, when the Havoc expansion was revealed, was the inclusion of an Ambition Modifier, which adjusts the number of points needed to win an Insurgency. The Ambition Modifier has now been implemented in Havoc, and it will affect the side that regularly wins Insurgencies by requiring more system wins for subsequent victories. In effect, this means that the more victorious one side is, the more it will take to keep the winning streak going. This will make the struggle between suppression and corruption more balanced, the fight more gripping, and the achievement of victory all the sweeter. Capsuleers now have improved oversight when it comes to the status of systems, as a filter can be applied to the new and classic star maps to view corruption and suppression in Insurgency systems. Additionally, the pirate FOB in the main Insurgency system now visually displays the level of corruption or suppression, as well as the current Ambition Modifier level, making it a lot easier to see the system’s status at a glance. Also, stargates and selected stations in corrupted systems now fly pirate banners, giving a better feel for pirate-affected space by setting the tone immediately upon entry. All of this combines to bring added quality of life to pilots involved in the struggle between pirates and militias, help capsuleers strategize more effectively, and add to the immersion in affected systems. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/bca73475d3aad2b9a40ffb60e5dede61babcdc58.png Honor among thieves Since the introduction of Havoc, countless capsuleers have seized the opportunity to align with the Angel Cartel or the Guristas to bring corruption to various systems around New Eden. Impressed with the performance of capsuleer insurgents, Esri Hakuzosu of the Guristas Pirates has issued new orders to roaming patrols in the system of H-PA29 - they will now no longer fire upon those capsuleers enlisted with the Commado Guri. Rafik Zohar has relayed similar orders to Angel Cartel forces in G-0Q86 and Turnur, such that roaming patrols will not attack those who have pledged their support to the Malakim Zealots. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/7ba779b5002decc5ece7900ef5741946d94f14b1.jpg The chaos continues It has been a wild time in New Eden, and the Havoc continues.

The 20th year of New Eden was filled with excitement and chaos, with pilots pulling off heists, joining pirate factions, and filling the cluster with life and death. “Wow, what a year! A fitting one for the 20th Anniversary, with two incredible expansions in Viridian and Havoc, a record breaking Fanfest, EVE Vanguard First Strike earlier this month, and whole lot more in between! I can say hand on heart that New Eden is full of life and vibrancy right now, evidenced both in higher concurrent capsuleers in space, but also in the unbelievable stories you continue to create. It’s incredibly exciting to again have boots on the ground in New Eden, and in the coming year, we will continue building on that core experience, creating an FPS experience with the community that we can all be proud of. We had ambitious goals for this year and we hope you agree we've delivered on a lot of our promises to you. But we aren't done by a long shot, we will accelerate into the third decade with renewed vigor and commitment, having laid stronger foundations during 2023, we are already working on the next two expansions for EVE Online in 2024 and have a clear vision of where we are going. I believe the future is bright, and I can't wait to see how you'll shape it with us in 2024." -Snorri Árnason, EVE Game Director {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/f6ef443b8aa9336c0e91367dd5012b9fb5cb0b19.jpg THE PULSE HOLIDAY SPECIAL The Pulse Holiday Special is the perfect excuse to curl up with a hot drink and bask in the warm glow of festive viewing.

ADVENTURE OF CHRISTMAS EVE – CROWD KON7ROL CCP...Havoc update: Set goals, pull off heistsDec 12, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsFormidable capsuleers, New Eden is in turmoil, thanks to Havoc being wrought by pirate insurgents and empire militia fighting to suppress corruption. A brand new update to EVE Online’s Havoc expansion only adds to the chaos by introducing an exciting Ice Refinery Heist activity and AIR Daily Goals. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/909d734f519f00c32582b7c90c15fd51b099dea8.jpg NEW EDEN IS SHAPED ON THE FRONTLINES Recently, fearless mercenaries went boots-on-the-ground in the EVE Vanguard First Strike event, which gave Omega players the opportunity to jump into the new multiplayer sandbox FPS module for EVE Online. As Vanguard, players fuel the war machine, adding corruption to the frontlines, delivering vital resources to the EVE economy, and completing contracts that turn the tide of battle. The First Strike event was a massive success with the Vanguard adding to the corruption on the frontlines by completing contracts for the Angel Cartel and Guristas, pulling out materials and data of interest from the Bowhead wreckage. This event not only gave players the chance to experience the action of EVE Vanguard, but also provided valuable feedback to aid in the creation of an authentic FPS experience within the EVE Universe. We extend our thanks to everyone who participated, and look forward to the next Vanguard event, coming in January. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/e0457b5963af52ebd37a6a4242ccccf5cb22f845.png ICE HEIST, BABY As Pirate Insurgencies crop up in more systems around the cluster, new opportunities for illegal pirate activity and wealth accumulation are appearing in the war zones of New Eden. As of today, large fleet-oriented sites will start spawning in Insurgency systems at corruption or suppression stages 3-4. These Ice Refinery Heists include a new resource-movement interaction, allowing pirate-aligned capsuleers to raid the refineries, fight off security, and earn rewards. In turn, faction-aligned pilots can defend the sites by fighting off the attackers and evacuating the tankers to their home base. Groups will receive a point for each tanker ship they guide back to their home base. The first side to retrieve enough tankers wins Loyalty Points and standings rewards, with points subsequently added to corruption or suppression in the system, depending on where their loyalties lie. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952729/a9a2e88373bd49e500cb8ca127ecc28b1fd5fa7e.jpg AIR DAILY GOALS If all this action isn’t enough, capsuleers now have even more activities to take on in New Eden, with the introduction of AIR Daily Goals, an upgrade to daily challenges.

Watch as Alton Haveri reports for the Scope on the latest developments from Pirate Insurgency zones, where the Guristas Pirates ambushed a task force including heavily modified Mordu’s Legion Bowhead freighters. With one of the freighters crash-landing on the planet of Hevrice III, it is rumored that the Deathless Circle have deployed experimental “Vanguard” clone troops to the planet to retrieve equipment valuable to their interests. The Scope is the leading news agency in the world of EVE. Though based in the Gallente Federation, the company takes pride in its total independence and operates separate agencies throughout New Eden.
