Tetrimon Frontline Base and Dark Blood Gauntlet sites can now also be found in the lowsec constellations of Semou, Jayal, and Hed.[/p][p]Battle-hardened capsuleers will find no shortage of foes or rewards.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]New Rewards, New Power[/h2][p]The seasonal reward track has been extended, bringing new items and a final reward crate containing at least a blueprint for any available Blood Raider ship – with the most fortunate capsuleers landing the fabled Dagon or Molok.

[p][/p][h2]A Resource Rush[/h2][p]Mining is now becoming increasingly dynamic, rewarding, and fiercely contested, with mysterious hyperspace fractures revealing volatile asteroids, rich in a powerful ore.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Discover Phased Fields and bring your fleet to harvest great riches, but at great peril. Dispatch new phase anchor deployables to be able to mine the mysterious asteroids and the prismaticite they contain but act fast before the fracture closes.[/p][p]Prismaticite, a new type of erratic and extremely valuable ore, refines into different minerals at random, although by using reactions to reprocess the ore, you control the outcome.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]New industrial and exploration ships expand strategic options, but danger lurks at every junction. The fight for resources fuels creation, destruction, connection, and conflict across the cluster.[/p][p]Whether you rise to build or strike to destroy, every story begins with ore.[/p][p][/p][h2]Pioneer: A New Mining Destroyer[/h2][p]Level up your industry game with the Pioneer, a perfect middle ground between a mining frigate and mining barges. [/p][p][/p][p]Even brand new capsuleers can obtain this new mining destroyer after only a few hours in New Eden, and fly it as Alphas. There is even more to unlock for Omegas, too, so this vessel can scale as you realize your industrialist ambitions.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]In all, there will be three versions of the Pioneer, including a Tech II version and a Consortium Issue variant.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Odysseus: Exploration Command Ship[/h2][p]Lead your fleet further afield with this new exploration command ship and conquer uncharted territory.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]With new expedition command bursts and a massive new exploration hold, you can stay out longer, venture further, and carry more loot back home.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Mining Refined[/h2][p]Resource harvesting is getting more responsive, immersive, tactical, and rewarding than ever before.[/p][p][/p][p]Faster Mining Cycles[/p][p]While total yield remains the same, faster mining cycles make the process more responsive and dynamic. Feel progress every second as your lasers tear through asteroids in shorter, more engaging bursts.[/p][p][/p][p]Mining Crits[/p][p]Critical mining hits bring a thrill to every operation, offering a potential bonus yield on successful strikes from your mining lasers. All mining lasers have a chance for critical hits, but skills and modules can improve your odds.[/p][p][/p][p]Mining UI/UX Improvements[/p][p]The mining interface has been reworked, with clear, real-time data and a cleaner presentation integrated into the space scene itself. New scanners will work faster and give you clear, color-coded readouts so you can quickly see which asteroids will be worth your while, and many more improvements have been made to the mining experience.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Highsec Mining Improved[/p][p]Highsec mining has never looked better. New visual updates and the return of anomaly sites bring omber and kernite back to highsec. Complete them for a rare chance at highsec mining escalations or use your scan probes to discover hidden combat sites with valuable ore.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Mining Mutaplasmids[/p][p]Mutate your mining modules and drones for potential bonuses. The new Mining Mutaplasmids introduce risk and reward to industry fittings, letting you push your yield and efficiency to unpredictable extremes.[/p][p][/p][h2]A new way to see the stars.[/h2][p]A tactical, easy-to-read 2D map gives capsuleers the clarity they need for planning and exploration. It’s a long-requested feature that enhances both accessibility and strategic gameplay.[/p][p]The new 2D view delivers improved system visualization, clear jump ranges, and dual data overlays, offering precise navigation and sharper tactical insight directly in-game. It’s the map new pilots needed and veterans wanted (thanks for all the feedback!).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Both 2D and 3D maps will feature ore availability indicators, enhanced data readability, and customizable scales, including logarithmic options, for greater clarity in every view.[/p][p][/p][h2]Learn the Ropes with a New Epic Arc[/h2][p]Whether you’re warping into New Eden for the first time, or just want to explore everything the new expansion has to offer, a new accessible and brief epic arc has got you covered.[/p][p]Explore and experience the new mining content through an introductory narrative journey, intended to test a new way to introduce expansion content. At the end, you will have a new Pioneer mining destroyer to launch your mining career.[/p][p]This new arc will introduce the Catalyst expansion to pilots of all experience levels, and help new capsuleers set goals and discover some of the wonders of New Eden.[/p][p][/p][h2]PLEX Logs[/h2][p]Monitor your PLEX-flow with new personal PLEX transaction logs, bringing transparency by showing where it comes from and how it’s spent. The first iteration will display entries for the last 30 days, with a cap of 2,000 entries, covering inflow and outflow.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Carriers Forward[/h2][p]Carriers are receiving a buff to utility, a visual refresh, and a reduction in manufacturing cost. These are not drastic changes, but rather incremental adjustments so we can monitor the effects and work with capsuleers to refine their role in the ecosystem.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Get an Early Taste[/h2][p]You have an opportunity to see the new hyperspace fractures, rare asteroids, and more mining improvements in advance by jumping into a mass test on the Singularity test server from 17:00 –19:00 UTC on 23 October.

We do, however, welcome any feedback on design, balance, and user experience.[/p][p][/p][p]Check out this forum post for all the details on the mass test.[/p][p][/p][h2]Catalyst Arrives 18 November[/h2][p]Prepare to dive into the heart of New Eden’s next great transformation. The rush begins soon, be ready to mine, fight, and rise.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[p]Capsuleers,[/p][p]The Blood Raiders have begun their harvest, and the Order of St. Tetrimon is mobilizing against them. The time has come to choose your side and get into the fight. Start unlocking your rewards today![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]This year, the Crimson Harvest has something for capsuleers of all experience levels, including brand-new Upwell-themed sites.[/p][p]Take on seasonal challenges, reap daily rewards, and sink your teeth into all-new activities. Don’t forget that in the final week, the horrors will intensify and the seasonal reward track will be extended to include a reward crate containing a Blood Raider ship blueprint.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Biocybernetic Incident Sites[/h2][p]Upwell’s experiments with cloning technology, in special biocybernetics facilities, have gone terribly wrong. The locations of these incidents are now combat sites across all space.[/p][p]The sites require pilots to stay within a designated perimeter for a certain period of time, fighting waves of enemies, and ultimately taking on an even more formidable foe. Keep the Opportunities Info Panel open to see how much time is left, and watch out for shuttles attempting to leave the site laden with valuable loot. Catch them before they get out to make these sites even more lucrative.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Keep your eye out for unstable generators within these locations that can be used tactically to damage many enemy ships at once – and also your own, if you’re not careful.[/p][p]The Biocybernetic Incident sites are showing up in highsec, lowsec, nullsec, and wormhole space, and are accessible to capsuleers of all experience levels. This includes rookies engaged with the AIR Career Program, who can try the sites geared toward Tech I frigates. Once you have cut your teeth on the easiest of these sites, you can gear up and gain confidence to move up a tier using a Tech I destroyer or Tech II frigate, for even greater rewards.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The hardest sites are perfect for Tech III destroyers, especially Confessors and Svipuls, following the recent ship balancing in the Legion Major Update.[/p][p]Because these incident sites are a messy situation for Upwell, they have blocked their own EDENCOM ships from entering them.[/p][p][/p][h2]Blood and Order: an Escalating Conflict[/h2][p]In addition to the new Biocybernetic Incidents, the usual Crimson Harvest sites return, now capable of triggering escalations in nullsec, lowsec, and highsec. All of the returning combat sites offer possible chance encounters among the wreckage that may link directly to the Upwell horror unfolding across space, and they are more likely within wormholes.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Explorers will find familiar hacking sites, where they may encounter shuttles engulfed in flames, which go on to explode, leaving a wreck you can hack into for extra reward.[/p][p]During the Crimson Harvest, there is a 50% chance of implants dropping from capsules destroyed in PvP. In addition, starting 10 October, there will be a 90% loot drop from ships destroyed in PvP everywhere except highsec.[/p][p]The daily login rewards and seasonal challenge track are especially lucrative during the event, with vast caches of Skill Points, and stunning Deathglow Remnant SKINs, along with PLEX, boosters, and more.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]For all the details on this year’s Crimson Harvest, see the previous news item.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h2]Prepare With Two New Packs[/h2][p]The perfect way to prepare for the bloodshed ahead, as Crimson Harvest begins, is by checking out two new packs that have arrived in the EVE Store.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]First, there’s the Reign of Blood Pack, aimed at experienced capsuleers. Those tackling the hardest Biocybernetic Incident sites can make their Confessor look its best in a stunning Sanguinary Savant SKIN before undocking.[/p]

• [p]1,000 PLEX[/p]
• [p]10 Skill Extractors[/p]
• [p]648,000 Skill Points[/p]
• [p]6 Blooded Steel metallic SKINR elements[/p]
• [p]3 Scars of Sarikusa pattern SKINR elements[/p]
• [p]Malediction Sanguinary Savant SKIN[/p]
• [p]Confessor Sanguinary Savant SKIN[/p]
• [p]Damnation Sanguinary Savant SKIN[/p]

[p]Then there’s the Biocybernetic Pack, which is more suitable for newcomers to New Eden.[/p]

• [p]15 days Omega[/p]
• [p]2 Enforcer Operations Expert Systems[/p]
• [p]100,000 Skill Points[/p]
• [p]Expert ‘Boost’ Cerebral Accelerator[/p]
• [p]Cruor Sanguinary Savant SKIN[/p]
• [p]Executioner Sanguinary Savant SKIN[/p]

[p]This offer is available until 4 November.[/p][p]The time to get started is right now. Grab your pack, face the bloodshed, and start earning your rewards today![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[p]Capsuleers, [/p][p]Blood will reign in New Eden as the Blood Raiders embark on their annual harvest. From 6 October to 4 November they will drain clones, spread terror, and carry out grim rituals. The Order of St. Tetrimon rises again to stop them. Who will you side with? [/p][p]This year brings more chaos than ever, with rogue Upwell research unleashing fresh darkness. New anomalies burn across New Eden, spawning horrors both factions seek to harvest or destroy. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Find a host of new and returning activities through the Agency and AIR Opportunities window. Furthermore, if you choose to engage in PvP combat during Crimson Harvest, there is a 50% chance of destroyed capsules dropping implants. [/p][p]In the final week of the Harvest, the horrors will intensify and the seasonal reward track will be extended to include a final reward crate containing a Blood Raider ship blueprint. More surprises will be announced as well, so keep your eyes on the unfolding bloodshed.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Choose Your Side [/h2][p]As always, capsuleers can choose to align with either the Blood Raiders or the Order of St. Tetrimon to earn challenge rewards and progress along the seasonal track. [/p][p]Both routes lead to riches, but choose carefully. The blood remembers, and the Order never forgets. [/p][p][/p][h2]Upwell Research Gone Wrong [/h2][p]New Biocybernetic Incident sites appear across highsec, lowsec, nullsec, and wormhole space as Upwell clone research goes awry. They were designed as labs, but now they are tombs. [/p][p]In an attempt to mitigate a somewhat messy situation for them, Upwell has blocked its own EDENCOM ships from entering these sites. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Stay within a designated area for a set duration, fight off enemy waves, and try to blast rogue shuttles loaded with valuable cargo. Be careful, as there are unstable generators in the sites which can be destroyed, causing damage to all close by. Make sure to keep your distance, but keep in mind you can use them strategically. [/p][p]Easy sites, for Tech I frigates, appear in highsec. Medium, for Tech II frigates and Tech I destroyers, can be found in all space. Hard ones, for Tech III tactical destroyers and below, appear in lowsec, nullsec, and wormhole space, no longer limited to Blood Raider regions. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Whether you’re a veteran of New Eden, or fresh out of the AIR Career Program, you can get involved.  [/p][p]Capsuleers flying Confessors and Svipuls will find them especially suited for the high-end content, following the recent balance pass in the Legion Major Update. [/p][p][/p][h2]Returning Rituals [/h2][p]Familiar battlegrounds return for enforcers, including Blood Raider and Tetrimon combat sites. [/p][p]Crimson Gauntlet and Tetrimon Base sites may now trigger an escalation, which means that for the first time, escalations can occur in all space except wormhole space.  [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Tetrimon Frontline Base and Dark Blood Gauntlet sites will also return and appear exclusively in Blood Raider space in lowsec and Delve. [/p][p]There are chance encounters within returning combat sites that may link directly to the Upwell horror unfolding across space, and they are more likely within wormholes. These encounters increase the rewards to be had from a site, so keep an eye out for any suspicious wrecks. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Explorers will find familiar hacking sites, where they may encounter shuttles engulfed in flames, which go on to explode, leaving a wreck you can hack into for extra reward.  [/p][p][/p][h2]Reap the Rewards [/h2][p]The harvest is a time for reaping, and great rewards are to be expected as usual. Log in daily to claim a massive cache of Skill Points, boosters, new Deathglow Remnant SKINs, and more. Omega capsuleers earn rewards on both Alpha and Omega tracks. [/p][p]Complete seasonal challenges to unlock even more, including SKINR components and after the event enters the final week, a final crate with a rare Blood Raider blueprint. [/p][p]Everything you do brings you closer to the ultimate prize. Do not sleep on the reign of blood. [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h2]More News:[/h2][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p] [/p]
