Quality Capsuleers,

The March release for EVE Online will bring with a number of changes that aim to improve Capsuleer quality of life in New Eden!

As of 23 March, you will be able to install multiple Jump Clones in the same station or structure, as long as it has a Clone Bay facility. This is something that many in the community have been asking for!

Additionally, fitting a Burst Jammer module will disable interdiction nullification, making it less oppressive when fit to nullified Interceptors.

Following on from last year’s From Wormholes With Love update, there will be changes to the jump caps of certain classes of wormhole. The mass allowed to jump through Class 1 through Class 6 wormholes has been increased to allow more flexibility for wormhole travel and control.

Additional details on the wormhole mass change:
Note that this is just the single-transfer mass limit, not the total mass of the hole, with the goal of making rolling a bit easier. High class holes are being given additional restrictions to continue to bar super capitals from moving through them and the increase is not enough to allow capitals access to lower class holes such as C4s.

In an update to the Target Spectrum Breaker module, it will be reworked to reduce a ship’s signature radius for a short duration and will still be locked to Battleships on release.

Be sure to check out the changes on the Singularity test server!

Exuberant Capsuleers,

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and get a free ship SKIN when you buy 1 month of Omega from EVE Online’s in-game New Eden Store, and also when you buy 1100 PLEX from the EVE Store until 11:00 UTC on 22 March!

For every 1 month Omega purchase you make in the New Eden Store, you’ll get the stunning Metamateria Exotica SKIN for the Nergal.

And if that’s not already worth celebrating, you can also get the Tengu Ultra Jungle Magneto SKIN free with every 1100 PLEX purchase from the EVE Store!

Act fast and get into the celebratory spirit!
