Loyalty to Lowsec is now live!
Greetings,
The Loyalty to Lowsec update is now live!
[h3]Faction Warfare[/h3]
As mentioned throughout last year, there are changes to Faction Warfare in EVE Online to improve the overall experience of Capsuleers engaging with this feature. This begins with increased Loyalty Point payouts for PvP kills made during Faction Warfare. At the same time, Loyalty Point payouts for Faction Warfare missions given by agents were reduced, which will increase the relative value of combat in Faction Warfare.
In addition, there is an increase in the activation area that surrounds acceleration gates. This allows Capsuleers to enter Faction Warfare combat complexes with less chance of being tackled or stopped before entering the main complex area. This effectively re-introduce the player-emergent behavior of 'gate sliding', and is supported by the introduction of perimeter lighting around the acceleration gates to indicate the extent of the activation region surrounding it.
As if that wasn't enough love for Faction Warfare, this feature also see brand new gated capture sites that allow entry for all ships of battleship size and smaller added. This presents a perfect opportunity for Capsuleers to make use of the brand new and exciting Frigate Escape Bay feature!
[h3]Increased PvP Loot Drops and Warp Speed Increase[/h3]
Why stop there with the Lowsec love? As part of the Loyalty to Lowsec update, there will be an increase to the loot dropped from PvP in Lowsec space and an increase to warp speed in Lowsec between 24 March and 6 April. These limited time changes will promote further PvP activity in Lowsec, undoubtedly having an effect on how Capsuleers make use of them during Faction Warfare, in no small part due to the significant speed boost Battleships will enjoy!
There will also be an additional task added to the daily PvP challenges of the Skilling is Just a Means event that runs until 14 April. Capsuleers will be offered an extra 10,000 Skill Points daily for killing one of the NPCs defending the Faction Warfare capture sites, so that makes 20,000 Skill Points available every day!
