Greetings New Eden,

The Noble Citizens of New Eden have spoken, and after tallying the votes, we are delighted to present you with the 17th Council of Stellar Management. We welcome all the new (and previous) council members and are looking forward to continuing our close collaboration with the community on another exciting year in EVE Online.




This year, we saw 30814 confirmed votes with the players from the following top 15 countries leading in the number of votes cast:




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 178 days. It is awesome to see such a continued unwavering passion over the years from you
The next few weeks and even months are going to be dedicated to the 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.

Thank you to all those that voted and Fly Safe o7

Proud Capsuleers!

The glorious Federation Day parades return for 2022, offering pilots the chance to show off their firework-flinging skills at parades in the Luminaire, Villore, Dodixie, Lirsautton, Alentene, Orvolle, and Octanneve systems.

Also returning from last year’s celebrations are the special mining blitz events, and stunning monuments where you can pay tribute.

This year’s celebrations also go hand-in-hand with a special Grand Prix event. While you raise a glass to the glorious Gallente Federation, why not take part in a race around New Eden to further show your support?

[h3]Cloudy with a chance of carnage[/h3]

No event would be complete without a fresh new Proving Grounds challenge to tackle. Taking place between 24-27 June, this Proving Grounds event focuses on turret damage, and includes an intriguing new twist.

A huge Tachyon Cloud at the center of the arena provides a 300% boost to velocity, and a 50% reduction in ship inertia. As well as finessing your ship fits, you’ll also need to play carefully with this environmental effect if you’re to emerge victorious.

[h3]Celebrate with the EVE community[/h3]

On 25 June you can also enjoy a player hosted event taking place in Luminaire from 18:00 UTC! Throw your fireworks around, light up your ships, and wow the crowd to earn cash prizes and a selection of SKINs.

There’ll also be a bonus trivia quiz, poster design competition, and plenty more besides. Head over to the thread on the official forums for all the details.

[h3]Free gifts and new challenges[/h3]

Log in for at least eight days during the event and you’ll earn a selection of SKINs, and boosters! Fresh seasonal challenges will also be available, giving you even more opportunities to earn rewards.

[h3]Special sales & the return of Federation Police SKINs[/h3]

The Federation Police SKINs will make a very welcome return to the New Eden Store for the duration of the event, along with an expanded collection of Luminaire Rising SKINs.

A selection of Federation-themed bundles will also be available on the EVE Store, packed with Skill Points, boosters & SKINs. Dress up in style as you race around New Eden!



See you at the celebrations!

Battle-hungry Capsuleers!

To mark Anger Games 5, another intense Proving Grounds awaits you. This time, you’ll need to fit your best battleships and go toe-to-toe in a 1v1 showdown scheduled for 12 June.

To spice things up, you and your opponents will enjoy double the benefits of overheating the following module groups:
- Tackle Modules
- Propulsion modules
- Repair Modules
- Resistance Modules
- Energy Warfare Modules
- Turrets
- Launchers

In other words, expect this one to go off with a bang!

A tough challenge demands juicy rewards, of course. Dish out at least 15,000 damage to your opponent, and you’ll receive a 100m ISK reward for your efforts. Even better, the challenge is repeatable, giving you the opportunity to make some serious bank throughout the day.

As always, there are certain restrictions to keep you on your toes when planning your fits. You won’t be able to enter the combat arena if you have a ship within your frigate escape bay, and you must only fit a single Local Repair Module (shield or armor).

Tech 2 rigs are also banned, along with the following modules and rigs:
- Sensor Dampeners
- Weapon Disruptors
- Shield Boost Amplifiers
- Shield Rechargers
- Shield Power Relays
- Shield Flux Coils
- Core Defense Field Purger Rigs
- Core Defense Capacitors Safeguard Rigs
- Core Defense Operational Solidifier Rigs
- Auxiliary Nano Pump Rigs
- Nanobot Accelerator Rigs

Start preparing now for this single-day Proving Grounds event, and make sure you pack a punch if you want to make the most of those repeatable ISK rewards!

Be sure to check in on the finals of the Anger Games tournament action too. Watch live on CCP TV.

First-class Capsuleers,

The Abyssal Proving Grounds are home to some of the most dramatic, entertaining and energetic PvP action New Eden has to offer. And for 11 June only, they are open for an event that’s perfect for new pilots... and nostalgic veterans that like a unique challenge.

If you’re new to EVE Online, or still to taste the thrill of Proving Grounds combat, this is the event for you and your starter ship. And if you’ve put hundreds of hours into mastering competitive play, it’s time to prove how skilful you really are by showing what’s possible with a classic corvette and a friend.

2v2 corvette combat is the focus, meaning diving into the action at the helm of one of EVE’s most basic, underpowered spacecraft – the corvette that is every Capsuleer's first class of ship. The result will be fun and frantic in equal measure, as pilots join this Anger Games special. And thanks to the 2v2 nature, you’ll be working side-by-side with an ally – another reason this is the ideal time for new players to take a trip to the Proving Grounds.

Still haven’t got your first corvette? Pick one up for free at any citadel or station!

This Proving Grounds round is open to Impairor, Ibis, Velator, and Reaper hulls. Furthermore, fleets entering this round can only include one of any specific corvette hull.

All ships that enter will also receive a bonus that doubles the benefits gained from overheating the following module groups:

• Tackle Modules
• Propulsion Modules
• Repair Modules
• Resistance Modules
• Energy Warfare Modules
• Turrets
• Launchers

Ships that join the action are limited a maximum of one fitted local repair module (shield or armor). Pilots will also be restricted to Meta 0 modules. Additionally, sensor dampeners, weapon disruptors, shield boost amplifiers, shield rechargers, shield power relays, shield flux coils, and core defense field purgers are all banned in this event.

Want to join in with the action? Then pick up some Proving Filaments and get yourself over to the Proving Grounds on 11 June. As ever, the Proving Grounds leaderboards will allow you to track Capsuleer performance through the event.

And make sure not to miss out on the main Anger Games tournament action. You can keep up with the full schedule here, and watch live on CCP TV from now until 12 June!
