Eve Online freelance jobs get a much-requested upgrade, transforming deliveries

The introduction of Eve Online freelance jobs with the Legion update was one of those small but significant changes that makes you wonder why it didn't exist before. Allowing corporations to outsource jobs to all players across New Eden, it lets people who might not be part of a big group get a bit more of a sense of the space MMO's community, while also earning some ISK along the way. Now, developer CCP is expanding the system with the introduction of a new, highly requested delivery job type that can enable quick, streamlined movement of goods across the galaxy.

Freelance Delivery Jobs are Here

[p]Timely capsuleers, [/p][p][/p][p]Since the launch of Freelance Jobs capsuleers and corporations have found various incredible ways to put them to good use, nefarious and noble. Creating your own SRP programs, recruiting like-minded capsuleers to corporations, competing in PvE competitions, creating your own missions, focusing efforts in Factional Warfare, and just getting your name out there. Space is active, and you’re the ones creating the action!  [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]But one thing has been missing, because some deliveries take longer than expected. Others arrive precisely when they mean to. The latest update to the Legion expansion brings the much-anticipated addition of the “Deliver” job type to Freelance Jobs – a logistics addition that will take your creativity to the next level, allowing you to set up buyback programs, regular fuel delivery tasks, and so much more. Many of you have asked for this addition since day one (and we hear you: day one would have been nice). [/p][p]A special thank you goes out to everyone who participated in the Singularity test and those who made their voices heard via Discord, forums and Reddit. [/p][p][/p][h2]Delivery made simple [/h2][p]This new job type allows corporations to request item deliveries directly to the Freelance Job, streamlining logistics and stimulating the movement of goods across New Eden. Allowing the delivery of the item to the job itself enables you to run concurrent requests for the same item without issue. No hangar space clashes, no asset pileups, just clean, trackable contributions. And for the freelancer, yes, it all happens ship-to-job, straight from your cargo hold. [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]For corporations, it’s a way to tap into the capsuleer market for swift and scalable logistics. For freelancers, it’s a chance to earn ISK by moving materials and making your mark.  [/p][p]Ownership transfer, contribution records, and payouts all happen seamlessly. It’s the delivery method you’ve been waiting for. Just a bit late. [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h2]A Sizzling Summer[/h2][p]This summer is proving to be quite a busy time in New Eden. Legion recently saw a Not-so-little update and capsuleers have been busy generating killmails in nullsec and lowsec, PLEX trading has just become tradeable from anywhere, and between 15 and 22 July, Solar Fest is coming, bringing some hot drops for SKINR and more. Make sure you log in daily during Solar Fest to receive some amazing goodies, including a never-before-seen color-shifting gloss nanocoating. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Throughout July, several partnered EVE streamers will be taking over the CCP Twitch channel for guest streams. Expect diverse gameplay, across multiple time zones and in various languages. Plus, each week brings an exclusive Twitch Drop (only on the CCP channel).  [/p][p][/p][p]Don’t miss out on all the action this summer! [/p]

Eve Online has changed how pilots buy and sell its fancy golden space ticket known as Plex

Skullduggerous space MMO Eve Online has changed the way its glittering golden subscription token is sold in the hellish hypercapitalist void. The change affects Plex, a shiny type of trade good you can use to re-up your subscription to the game. From now on, the ethereal digigood will be sold on a magical "global" market across the entirety of space, as opposed to being sold locally from region to region.

Global PLEX Market Now Live

[p]Capsuleers, [/p][p]The global PLEX market is now active, creating a single unified market region where all PLEX trades are visible and accessible, regardless of location (Abyssal Space excluded). All PLEX trades are now pooled into one unified market, with purchases still delivered to your Vault. No hauling or travel needed, just pure liquidity. [/p][p][/p][p]With today’s release all outstanding PLEX orders were cancelled, and fees will be reimbursed within a few days.  [/p][p][/p][p]Please note, that global PLEX market prices will not be visible in private structures (e.g. citadels and keepstars) across New Eden, but trading from private structures with ACL restrictions will remain the same; you will not be able to buy items from, or sell items to, orders in stations that you cannot access. Listing taxes are still based on standings and location, no changes here. [/p][p][/p][p]For all the details on what has changed, check out the recent dev blog or today’s patch notes.  [/p][p][/p][p]You can also check out this recent podcast episode where CCP Rattati and CCP Swift discussed the changes with CCP Monty: [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[p]You can also listen to the episode on Spotify.[/p]
[p]The Global Market for PLEX is both a stepping stone and a learning opportunity for us, which always goes well together, with your feedback shared on Discord, the forums, with your elected CSM representative, or wherever you fly. We will closely monitor how this goes and continue iterating on removing the trading frictions. Keep the feedback coming and stay tuned for future updates! 🤝 [/p]
