Researching the Rogues

Epic Capsuleers,

As part of the Gateway Quadrant, the brand-new Researching the Rogues event is now live in EVE Online! This is a great time to dive into New Eden with Researching the Rogues, which offers daily challenges and rewards, daily login gifts, plus combat and hacking sites until 11:00 UTC on 4 October.

Also, as EVE Online has just launched on the Epic Games store, there are exciting new packs in the EVE Store, so there’s plenty to celebrate and get involved in right now!

[h2]Researching the Rogues[/h2]
Rogue Drones have been a regular nuisance and threat in recent years across the cluster, but now Capsuleers are urgently being called upon by the Association for Interdisciplinary Research (AIR) to defend their research sites from attack by these drone assailants.



There are all-new combat and exploration sites across all space, with the greatest rewards available in Lowsec from Advanced Drone Outgrowth Colony and AIR Rogue Drone Researchers sites. The combat sites are designed to be run only by tech 1 frigates, faction frigates, and tech 1 destroyers. Rewards include new AIR SKINs, returning Cryptic Mimesis SKINs, cerebral accelerators, new time-limited AIR scanning boosters, returning blueprint copies for the 'Subverted' JVN-UC49 drone, plus overseer’s personal effects that can be sold in-game for ISK.

Adding to the allure of these sites, a series of combat and exploration challenges will unlock further rewards such as more AIR boosters and new AIR Laboratories SKINs for Sisters of EVE ships when successfully completed.

On top of all that, there will be free daily rewards for logging in to EVE during Researching the Rogues, with Omega Capsuleers getting even better rewards than Alphas. The daily login rewards include AIR boosters, new Semiotique Sports SKINs, and thousands of Skill Points. Remember, if you upgrade to Omega after the event has started, you can claim any Omega rewards missed.



All of the above will run until 11:00 UTC on 4 October, so there’s no time to lose!

[h2]Epic Games Store Launch & New Packs[/h2]
EVE Online is now available via the Epic Games store, providing a fresh gateway into New Eden for eager Capsuleers taking their first steps in this universe of opportunity and adventure. To celebrate their arrival and this occasion, brand-new Bronze, Silver, and Gold Starter Packs, plus a Cyber Suit Pack have been launched in the EVE Store! These packs contain Omega, PLEX, thousands of Skill Points, as well as stunning Semiotique Superluminal SKINs and apparel.



Each pack is available for purchase once per account, paving the way for Capsuleers to warp straight into the action in style, with boosted skill training and PLEX to spend!

[h2]New Eden Store[/h2]
To further celebrate the launch of EVE in the Epic Games store, you can now buy the fantastic new Semiotique Superluminal SKIN on the popular Astero and Stratios Sisters of EVE ships for 110 PLEX each in EVE Online’s New Eden Store.

Used by elite corporate executives and celebrity brand ambassadors of one of New Eden's largest FTL communications corporations - Semiotique Superluminal - this glamorous SKIN is the ultimate way to stand out from the Capsuleer crowd.

GM Week is Back!


Revelrous Capsuleers,

Another exciting and action-packed GM Week starts today! All week long, until 23:59 UTC on 24 September, jump online and join your fellow players and GMs for a multitude of fun events – both in and out of game – including streams, in-game content, contests, and more!
[h2]CONTESTS[/h2]
We’ll be conducting all kinds of exciting contests throughout GM Week, spurring on fun activity and rewarding winners with great prizes!

Cosplay Contest

Entries for the EVE Cosplay Contest, announced several weeks ago, will be accepted all week until 23:59 UTC 24 September - and winners will be announced by 8 October, two weeks after the submission deadline. We’re looking forward to seeing the very best of the dazzling EVE style that players can create, and rewarding them with fabulous prizes, which you can read more about in the Cosplay Contest Announcement!



“Bad” Fan-Art Contest

Submit your best EVE-inspired memes, badly drawn art, propaganda, or anything else you can think of in this contest’s forum thread, where the winners will be chosen based on number of likes. Submissions must be in PDF, PNG, or JPEG format, with a max size of 1920x1080. The winning entries will be displayed as backgrounds in the meeting rooms at CCP’s HQ!

Limerick and Ice-Breaker Contest

Break out your wordsmithing skills! Players are invited to craft an EVE-related limerick or conversational ice-breaker, to be submitted via Twitter using the #gmweekwordsmith hashtag. Limericks should follow the traditional format – (see here)), and ice-breakers should be written as if you were sparking up a conversation with a Capsuleer, be it for business, friendship, desirable cooperation, or anything else.

Winners will be awarded 1000 PLEX and two SKINs as prizes, and runners-up will receive 500 PLEX and one SKIN. In addition, all winners will be given bundles of collectible items associated with GM Week! While this is indeed a contest of witty and comedic wordsmithing, we kindly ask that you please be mindful of the content of your entries – EVE is a PEGI12 game, after all, and social media platforms all have their own measurements of what crosses the line. With that said, have fun!

*All contests run from the beginning of GM week until 23:59 UTC on 24 September

Back to Basics in the Proving Grounds!

Nostalgic Capsuleers,

Return to your foundations in a new Abyssal Proving Grounds event, where four pilots dive into thunderdome combat against one another aboard one of the four Empires’ Corvettes! Board one of these humble and capable vessels for free at any station or citadel, and go all-out as you fight your way to the top!

This event begins at 11:00 UTC on 17 September, and runs until 11:00 on 21 September.

The ruleset for the event is as follows:
- Only the Impairor, Ibis, Velator, and Reaper may enter
- Modules and drones are restricted to meta level 4
- Pirate implants are not allowed

Prepare for combat on equal footing, gaining invaluable combat experience aboard ships you can easily afford to lose while utilizing any combat tactics you can think of: keep an eye on your orbit, get a handle on different types of weapons and EWAR, predict your opponents’ own moves, or even take a crack at manual piloting for fine-tuned movement!

We're looking forward to an accessible and exciting event, bringing in Capsuleers of any age and experience level to rage against one another in the Proving Grounds. Board your Corvette, kit it out with any modules you can imagine, and grab your filaments – found in Abyssal Deadspace, in Triglavian wrecks in Pochven, or on the ingame market – as you demonstrate your mastery of every Capsuleer’s first class of ship and ascend the Proving Grounds leaderboard, achieving glory and earning special rewards!
