Operation Nemesis FAQ

[p]Q: How long does the event run?[/p][p]A: The event will run from 16 September to 2 October 11:00 UTC for both EVE Online and EVE Vanguard.[/p][p] [/p][p]Q: What is Operation Nemesis about?[/p][p]A: Operation Nemesis is a World Event playable in both EVE Online (the space above) and EVE Vanguard (the ground below). In EVE Vanguard, you are a warclone mercenary, recruited by the factions of New Eden and the secretive Deathless Circle to uncover advanced technology. But standing in your way is Mordu’s Legion, a formidable force determined to stop you. Your mission: disable Upwell defenses, push back Mordu’s Legion, and recover valuable secrets hidden across the combat zone. These secrets will reveal the location of high value convoys traveling through space. Capsuleers in EVE Online respond by intercepting and looting these convoys to recover additional intel. Complete expeditions for the factions of New Eden, uncover intel, and fuel the war machine [/p][p]Two separate games, one joint operation. Your actions on the ground in EVE Vanguard will leave a lasting impact in EVE Online! [/p][p][/p][p]Q: How does Operation Nemesis work across both games?[/p][p]A: As you complete expedition assignments in EVE Vanguard, you contribute Global Points toward a progress gauge that is shared by the global community of warclones. Each time the progress gauge fills, new raidable convoys will appear in different areas of space in EVE Online, including highsec, lowsec, and nullsec. Capsuleers can then scan or probe these convoys to intercept them and steal their loot. The loot in question consists of Sealed Projects Crates which can then be traded at Deathless Wraith Traders to unlock rewards.  [/p][p]To learn more about the link between these two games, now and in the future, please check out our recent Dev Chat featuring CCP Okami and CCP Collins.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Please note: Completing assignments in EVE Vanguard will contribute Global Points, but the progress gauge will only be displayed in EVE Online for this operation. [/p][p][/p][p]Q: What rewards can I earn for playing Operation Nemesis?[/p][p]A: Your actions in both EVE Online and EVE Vanguard will advance you along a personal reward track with milestones for unlocking SKINR components, SKINs, Sealed Projects Crates, and more.  (This should be familiar to capsuleers who have participated in seasonal events like Crimson Harvest or Winter Nexus).[/p][p]Please note: Playing as either a capsuleer or warclone will contribute toward your personal reward track, but rewards and progress will only be available in EVE Online for this operation. [/p][p][/p][p]Q: Is this an EVE Online event, or an EVE Vanguard event?[/p][p]A: It’s both! Consider this a New Eden event on two fronts. Whether you’re attacking from above in the immersive sandbox setting of EVE Online or eliminating enemies in a more visceral FPS experience in EVE Vanguard, your actions carry weight and consequences.  [/p][p][/p][p]Q: Are the events in EVE Vanguard connected to what is happening in EVE Online?[/p][p]A: Yes, they are. While these are separate games, they exist within the same vast universe – a living breathing world shaped by familiar factions, legendary characters and most importantly, you, the intrepid capsuleer or the merciless warclone. This operation is yet another chapter in the history of New Eden, where even the smallest actions can have a lasting impact. And this is just the beginning. In future World Events, we may see even more, deeper connections between the two games.  [/p][p][/p][p]Q: Is my character in EVE Vanguard the same character in EVE Online? [/p][p]A: No, they are not the same. In this operation, you play as a capsuleer in EVE Online or as a warclone in EVE Vanguard. While the two roles are different, they are aligned to the same cause and contribute to the same greater conflict. When you log into EVE Vanguard, you will use your EVE Online account, but the connection is currently recognized only at the account level. We're still refining how closely these experiences will be intertwined in the future, so stay tuned as this concept evolves! [/p][p][/p][p]Q: I haven’t played EVE Online before. Will I be able to participate in this event if I choose to play EVE Vanguard only?[/p][p]A: Of course! Simply download the EVE launcher here and create your EVE account. Once you have created your account and installed the launcher, you should see an EVE Vanguard icon. Download the game and jump right into the operation as the warclone you were destined to be.  [/p][p][/p][p]Q: I belong to a corporation in EVE Online. Is this event designed for corporation or alliance play?[/p][p]A: While we do encourage everyone capsuleers and warclones alike to join the conflict, this event is primarily PvE (Player vs. Environment), where New Eden’s factions work together to take down Mordu’s Legion. However, you can certainly fleet up or squad up with friends. Consider having someone deploy on the ground and another taking flight to protect the space above, and watch as convoys spawn and are subsequently destroyed through your combined efforts. [/p][p][/p][p]Q: I’m a new or returning player, how can I access Operation Nemesis?[/p][p]A: This event is accessible from the EVE launcher, which you can download from our website, or by launching from your preferred storefront (Steam/Epic). After logging in or creating your free account, you can install the EVE client. Once installed, you will see two icons to the left: one for EVE Online and one for EVE Vanguard. Then the only thing left to decide is where you will make your stand: on the ground (EVE Vanguard), or in space (EVE Online) or both?  [/p][p][/p][p]Q: The community gauge is filled and I'm in the system where a convoy is shown on the Map. However, my directional scanner isn't picking up a convoy in EVE Online what am I missing?[/p][p]A: In the Overview Settings, click the "Filters" tab and ensure that "Vanguard Entities" are selected. These convoys will not be picked up otherwise. [/p][p]Please note: Operation Nemesis is another step in developing a shared universe for EVE Online and EVE Vanguard. While activities in both games contribute to the event loop, the experience is still in active development so some actions made by your Warclone or Capsuleer will not be reflected across both games. [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
