EVE Online News

[h2]Competitive capsuleers,[/h2]

The effort to make New Eden a more engaging place with a level of detail that takes you deeper is always ongoing. Audio is a major part of that effort, both setting the tone and atmosphere of EVE, and giving players critical cues that can inform their strategic approach. With that in mind, we invite all pilots to join a mass audio test focused on turret movement and impact sounds and help make EVE Online an even better experience.


The test will take place on the Singularity server. To take part in the scheduled fleet fight at 17:00 UTC Monday, 6 March, gather in the FD-MLJ system.

Those joining the test are encouraged to engage in fleet fights to allow for monitoring of performance issues and crashes, while pooling feedback on the audio experience of large-scale battle.

To access Singularity, change the server from Tranquility to Singularity in the bottom right corner of the launcher and log in as normal. More detailed instructions on connecting to Singularity are available here. When logged in on Singularity use the command /moveme in any chat window and select the system FD-MLJ from the pop up to be relocated to the testing system.

For more details on how to get involved in the mass audio test check out this dedicated forum post.

[h2]Attention, capsuleers![/h2]

You may have noticed that as part of the ongoing narrative arc in New Eden, the long-established alliances between major empires have started to fracture. This is highlighted in the latest episode of The Scope where Alton Haveri reports on the cracks appearing in Caldari-Amarr, and Gallente-Minmatar relations as the empires race to develop transport and power technologies, and credible allegations of espionage circulate.

With relationships cracking, the empires are more desperate than ever for capsuleer support through Direct Enlistment. This much-anticipated feature mentioned in the Producer’s Letter is now available for testing on the Singularity test server. Direct Enlistment allows you to participate in Factional Warfare (FW) activities on behalf of any of the empires without needing to leave your current corporation or alliance.

Within the Direct Enlistment feature, Personal Enlistment allows a capsuleer to enroll via this new pathway, enabling FW participation without leaving a currently unaligned player corp. Joining FW via the currently existing pathways (joining a militia corp) would come under Group Enlistment.

It is possible that within any player corp there may be members siding with any of the four main empires, but for those who want to avoid diplomatic incidents, corp directors can select which of the four they will permit their members to personally enlist with.

Be sure to check out The Scope to stay informed of all the significant narrative developments, jump on Singularity now to test out Direct Enlistment, and then join the discussion on the EVE Online forums!

[h3]Generous capsuleers,[/h3]

Again, you have come together to aid those in need, this time in the wake of the earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria. The latest PLEX for GOOD campaign has been a showcase of gamer generosity, with the EVE community raising $26,140 that will be split equally between Ahbap and Doctors Without Borders. Various capsuleers from different groups and across different activities within the community came together and organized drives and events. You gathered in a massive brawl in Pochven over the weekend and ran public community fleets throughout the week over on Twitch, donated extremely rare memorabilia as well as donating Alliance Tournament price ships from Alliance Tournament XVIII. It has been heartwarming to see this kind of solidarity on display in New Eden.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provides humanitarian aid to people affected by war, pandemics and natural or man-made disasters worldwide. MSF has been providing aid to victims of the earthquake since it struck, treating injured patients and providing invaluable medical aid and supplies to the area.

Ahbap is a Turkish local non-profit NGO (non-governmental organization) leading the support efforts in Türkiye.

[h3]HOW THE MONEY WAS RAISED[/h3]

As ever, the EVE community has held firm to its core values of kindness and humanity. By contracting PLEX to the in-game character CCP PLEX for GOOD, an account operated by CCP Games, they each contributed to this effort. In addition, EVE developers, hailing from all over the world, made personal donations to the PLEX for GOOD effort.

Millions have been displaced and over 46,000 have lost their lives in the aftermath of this tragedy, and now is the time for empathy and solidarity. In the face of such devastation, it is inspiring to see the EVE community come together to provide aid.

[h3]STILL WANT TO DONATE?[/h3]

If you are still looking to donate to help those impacted by the earthquakes, we encourage you to make a direct donation to one of the following organizations who are actively providing aid:

MSF - Doctors without Borders

AHBAP

UNHCR

UNICEF

Red Cross

[h3]A FINAL NOTE[/h3]

As before, the PLEX for GOOD campaign has shown that in addition to being a place of fun and adventure, New Eden brings amazing people together to do great things. Capsuleers in distant star systems have yet again banded together to make a real impact outside of New Eden, and for that we are truly grateful.
