[h3]Industrious capsuleers,[/h3]

The planets of New Eden have long presented rich opportunities for resourceful industrialists to extract and refine the materials that keep the cluster thriving. Now, there is a new way to streamline your Planetary Industry (PI) operations: Templates, allowing you to set up a planetary colony and save it to a PI browser. You can then share your layouts with your fellow capsuleers and corporation members, or use them to set up a new colony much faster than before.



Starting today, you can opt-in to test out these new work-in-progress templates using the Feature Previews tab in the Settings menu (by pressing 'Esc'). While not a big revamp of Planetary Industry, this is a quality-of-life improvement intended to simplify colony setup and management. The doors are being opened today so you can start kicking the tires and help us work out the kinks.

Your feedback will be crucial in shaping this and future updates, so please share your insights through the dedicated forum thread.

[h3]Capsuleers,[/h3]
The ongoing insurgencies are only intensifying, and a decision has been made to keep Vanguard forces on the ground longer. To that end, YC126.11.28 Groundbreak is being opened up to free access and extended until 12:00 UTC on 12 December. This means all access barriers are being removed, allowing all warclones to join, no codes or subscriptions required. In addition, Vanguard contribution to system corruption and suppression in the cluster will be increased over this coming weekend, so make sure to take advantage of this boost while it lasts. 



If you have been waiting in the wings, now is the perfect time to go boots-on-the-ground in EVE Vanguard, the in-development sci-fi MMOFPS set in the EVE Universe. Furthermore, if you have friends you want to play with, they can now join you planetside for free. Make sure to check the system requirements to ensure you have a good experience, and remember that the game is still in early development, so your participation and feedback can help shape its future. 

[h2]REWARDS IN SPACE AND ON THE GROUND[/h2]
Besides the glory associated with valor on the battlefield, participating in the current operation comes with additional rewards, in EVE Online and EVE Vanguard. Omega clones who go boots-on-the-ground will receive a crate containing one of 16 Arkombine Arisen SKINs, four of which have not been released before.* To be eligible, you need to deploy in EVE Vanguard for more than 10 minutes. The reward crate will be claimable in the New Eden Store from 23:59 UTC on 13 December. 



Additionally,  as warclones who spend more than one hour on the ground during the event will receive a stunning new gun skin, Seykal Fury, at a later date. 



*Alpha players who earned their reward before 12:00 UTC on 5 December will also receive their crate at 23:59 UTC on 13 December.
