Space trading and warfare MMO Eve Online isn't looking half bad for its age at 18 years old. CCP are looking to keep those ships in ship shape with what they're calling a "significant new visual update" to make space more colourful with shader and lighting updates. The update has hit the Singularity test server as of today, so you can check out the changes.

The Art Department has been hard at work cooking up new delights for you, and it’s time to open the doors and let you have a peek. On 23 June, the Singularity test server will play host to significant new updates, such as:
- Shader adjustments
- New lighting changes
- The colors of New Eden becoming brighter and deeper
- Gradients smoothing out and highlights being better represented

These changes are part of an ongoing commitment to improving and developing EVE Online well into the third decade. By deleting the gray coloring, these upgrades will bring New Eden to life like never before.

The team is currently in the process of adjusting and fine tuning, and that’s where you come in. So please go ahead and hop onto Singularity at some point after 23 June, have a look around, and submit your feedback. With your help, let's keep EVE at the vanguard of graphical excellence!

More on all of this later - but for now, please log in and share your discovery with us, by taking screenshots, comparing the visuals, and so forth!

Clandestine Capsuleers,

The Enter the Portal update is now live on Tranquility, bringing powerful buffs to the Black Ops class of Tech II battleships, rebalancing of Covert Ops exploration ships, and an increase to chained targets for Vorton Projectors. Black Ops ships fitted with a Covert Jump Portal are also now able to use the slick new Conduit Jump feature to jump into battle alongside their covert comrades.

When using a Conduit Jump, the Black Ops battleship will act as an Anchor, taking nearby covert cloak-capable ships and other Black Ops within 10km to the destination as Passengers. In addition to getting your fleet on grid faster, this also comes with the benefit of using much less fuel than a Bridge at just 1,000 Isotopes per lightyear for the fleet.

Thanks to player feedback after the release on Singularity, the passenger count for a Conduit Jump has been bumped up from 10 to 30, helping you conduct a covert ambush more easily. Additionally, the cargo capacity and targeting range of every Black Ops battleship has been increased as a quality-of-life improvement.

These new changes will make your Black Ops drops more powerful than ever so why not show off with the new Fireblade and Iceblade Guerilla SKINs while you’re at it?

On another note, we love EVE Online, so it should not come as a surprise to anyone that the average logon time among all players who participate in the CSM elections is a little over 160 days. It is awesome to see such unwavering passion over the years from you
The next few weeks are going to be dedicated to onboarding of all CSM members. It is an important period where we will go over all the ground rules and ensure we are on the same page in terms of expectations from one another. Therefore, even if the new council is in immediate effect, please be reasonable with your requests and understand that it may take a few weeks before everyone is up to speed.
