EVE Online News

Spanish-speaking capsuleers,

EVE Online is about immersion in a rich universe, one that capsuleers have helped shape from the beginning. To that end, we were thrilled to announce at Fanfest that the EVE experience would soon be available in the Spanish language. With the soft launch of the long-requested and highly anticipated Spanish client live now on the Tranquility server, you can now jump in and enjoy EVE en Español for the first time!

European Spanish is the foundation, but the aim is to faithfully incorporate the shared terminology and culture that you, EVE’s Spanish-speaking community, have developed over the course of EVE’s lifetime. To that end, we’ve partnered up with a number of Spanish-speaking players to make this happen, and would like to give huge thanks to DR4GONS, Juvenius, orik Kado, Rei Arzi, IcyMind Arierep, Vizary Stahl, and Juno Swanteisger for their invaluable assistance.



The live soft launch on Tranquility consists of a partially translated EVE client, and is now offering every Spanish-speaking capsuleer the opportunity to dive in, experience it, and provide feedback to further refine what will eventually be a fully translated client.

Get directly involved on the official EVE Spanish Forum to share comments & feedback and help develop EVE’s Spanish language experience!

To celebrate this eagerly awaited moment, you can get 50% off a 3-month Omega purchase. This offer is exclusively available to Spanish-speaking capsuleers, and it’s the perfect way to take the first step on the journey to EVE’s full Spanish release!

The storied communities and friendships forged between New Eden’s intrepid capsuleers have always formed the heart and soul of EVE, and we’re excited to bring you, the Spanish-speaking players, an accessible way to fully share in the invaluable EVE community – starting with the soft launch and culminating in a full Spanish release in Q4 2022.

Fly safe – we’ll see you in space!

Greetings Spacefriends we are back again with another hit of the Community Beat!

Let’s have a look at some of the community-created content from the last few weeks and what’s coming up!




The Caldari Union Day event recently ended and all of you made some amazing contributions towards deciding who was going to be awarded Jita 4-4’s Security Contract and become the new protectors of Jita. This year’s winner, squeezing in a victory by 0.21% of all the points, was Wiyrkomi!



CCP Fozzie has posted the stats on the forums as well - we'd love to hear what you did for the event too, did you score big? Who did you support?

Whilst we're on the topic of Union day though:
Archur State Mountain Report has been covering some of the developments in the story arc for several months now and their latest video brings us news on the construction project being worked on by the Caldari over in Samanuni, as well as a few highlights on the recent Union Day:

This last week saw the return of GM Week, a week-long of some of the community's favorite interactions with our GM team. One of those events, was an “Armed Piñata Hunt” and Eric Nguyen over on Twitter snapped and posted some incredibly cool shots from the event:



Be sure to check out their Flickr album too which is filled with other beautiful pictures!




If you are not aware of the music wizard that is “aulorana equlisers” (aka EQ), it’s time to introduce you!EQ has been producing music for a little while now - the last time we tuned in to one of his streams he was remixing some of the Hybrid/Railgun Turret sounds and trying to use it as a backing track to an Eve song. His latest compilation that has been published is an Eve Parody of the old Beatles track “Come Together” which he has appropriately named, “Fleet Together” Check it out:

EQ Is also on Spotify as well if you want to check out some of their other content.



T’Amber is an incredibly creative individual, playing around with creating wild ship skins and ship attachments, from Ears on Avatars to animated. His most recent one, (with the help of DerSchmale on GitHub for the code to do it and Corvus for the idea) has been with the addition of Googly eyes!


Googly eyes really do make everything better.




To a lot of Wormholers, the deity known as Bob is something that blesses/curses the realm based on favour, and it’s felt that occasionally, sacrifices need to be made to Bob. In celebration of Wormholer Mark Resurrectus being voted by the players onto the CSM, a promise of a sacrifice of a Zirnitra was made, in thanks to Bob for blessing them. On September 17 at 2200 UTC a Zirnitra will be sacrificed at the sun in the wormhole system of J1347029, so if you can navigate your way through wormholes and find the system, feel free to watch, shoot at them, or come for the fireworks.




Making friends in space is one thing, but if you get the chance, meeting them in person is also a great way to make even more friends! The newest addition to the list is EVE Down Under (EDU) which will be returning at the end of November, check out the video for everything you need to know about the AUTZ below!

• September 8 - 11: Eve North East (USA)
• October 15: EviEnna
• October 20 - 23: EVE Vegas (USA)
• November 26 – 27: EVE Down Under

Space-based alternate reality EVE: Online is getting another expansion focusing on factional warfare this November, devs CCP Games have announced.

Battle-ready capsuleers,

The universe never stands still, and EVE Online’s first narrative arc has already been building tension between the empires. Now, the stage is set to bring about an intense, thrilling future in New Eden. The time to choose your battle, fly your colors, and reap the greatest rewards that victory and loyalty can offer draws near!

Uprising is a brand-new narrative-driven expansion for EVE Online launching in November, ushering in major improvements to Factional Warfare (FW), introducing a suite of new ships in addition to a plethora of balance changes to existing ships, corporation and alliance logos on your vessels as part of the introduction to heraldry, new visually immersive hangars, and more.

The first narrative arc has already begun with the discovery of an abandoned EDENCOM structure after its cloak began failing over a storm planet in the system of Athounon. Capsuleers have also found mysterious construction sites across space, with some believing these to be stellar harvesters and stargates being independently constructed by the empires, leaving the tenuous peace between them at risk.

Keep your eyes open as the narrative arc progresses, and be sure to take part as the story unfolds. Your involvement will help shape New Eden by revealing fresh features to help in future battles, including brand-new ships in-game, some of which will be unveiled much sooner than others. The introduction of these new ships will increase the diversity of tools available to a wide array of capsuleers, from those just starting their journey to more established veterans, while bringing some serious visual intimidation to the battlefield!



The Uprising expansion brings many significant changes to Factional Warfare some of which are outlined in the State of the Union news item including a complete rework of complexes, and a new advantage functionality that allows you to give your chosen Faction an edge in FW.

This part of the expansion aims to evolve Factional Warfare into a more intense and exciting combat playstyle for FW enthusiasts. There will be more incentives to support and fight for your favorite Empire, a wider array of opportunities to contribute to the war effort across the warzone, and new events will be introduced creating more possibilities for empires to issue campaign objectives to those who enlist.

This is only the beginning! There are even more exciting improvements following this expansion that will help open the gates even further to Factional Warfare in EVE, with a significant update that includes factional allegiance, targeted for Q1 of 2023. This will allow players to aid a Faction in FW irrespective of corporation or alliance.

A phased rollout of Factional Warfare improvements enables us to observe how players in the current FW ecosystem interact with the features without tipping the scales too drastically too quickly. Allegiance is a focus to address, as we know many capsuleers are excited about Factional Warfare and are eager to get involved.

For those pilots not currently enlisted in FW, there will still be plenty for you to do across the warzone, roles to perform, stories to partake in, and amazing rewards to earn.



Furthermore, the new Frontlines in Factional Warfare will draw pilots closer to the borders of their opponents and present new rewarding challenges that focus capsuleer efforts towards key, emerging conflict hot spots where empire history will be written!



Alongside this big shake up of combat strategy, opportunities to earn rewards that unlock Heraldry on ships will be made available. Corporation and alliance logos on ships will act as the introduction to Heraldry, with many more customization options on the horizon following this initial launch such as citadel SKINs and holograms on ships.



If that wasn’t enough, there will be massive enhancements to Upwell hangars that will ramp up the visual immersion while docking and undocking in New Eden. The special attention put into this visual upgrade helps ensure that when you undock from your new hangar, you’ll still get out into space at a speed that is on par with other structures in the game. What better way to admire those fantastic alliance logos and new ships than in a beautiful new hangar?



From now until the release of Uprising in November, there will be a steady stream of updates and content as shown in the roadmap below, while the narrative arc will also continue to advance the story in-game. Our goal moving forward is to unveil more of our roadmap to the community as time progresses. Stay alert, keep your eyes to the stars, your warp drive ready, and your ammo loaded.



The time is quickly approaching for capsuleers across the cluster to rise up, unite under their banners, storm the frontlines, and do it in style!
