Drifter Crisis: Defend New Eden

Capsuleers,

A storm is brewing in New Eden. The Drifters have begun their largest offensive yet, launching coordinated strikes across highsec and lowsec star systems to test the limits of those who defend New Eden. The empires are under attack, and you are called upon to respond.

[h2]Crisis Sites[/h2]
As the Drifters extend their aggression in New Eden beyond Zarzakh, capsuleers will encounter them in multiple systems in highsec and lowsec, and pilots of all skill levels are called upon to assist in beating the threat back. Various sites and activities are available to Tech I ships up to battlecruiser class. These engagements are perfect for small gangs and provide opportunities for exploration, salvaging, and enforcer career followers to thrive. Eliminating threats will unlock a Crisis Resolution operation at the heart of the affected systems, the successful completion of which will force the Drifters to withdraw and regroup.

[h2]Fight for New Eden and Great Rewards[/h2]
Dark forces are gathering in New Eden. Your faction needs you to help defend against the Drifters, fighting off this early wave of attacks. The rewards for those who rise to the challenge include significant ISK payouts, in addition to the glory of victory. Will you stand against the Drifters and protect the future of New Eden?

Communication is Key – Local Chat Test

Chatty capsuleers,

The communications channels of New Eden are about to become clearer. As part of EVE Evolved, local chat, the lifeblood of social connections and battlefield intelligence, is moving to the state-of-the-art Quasar infrastructure. This evolution will deliver increased reliability and stability, so you can focus on what truly matters: strategy, survival, and supremacy.

To ensure this system is battle-ready, your presence is needed in the upcoming Singularity Mass Test on 31 January at 18:00 UTC. Answer the call and earn 150 Large Skill Injectors, as a token of gratitude for your service. The Skill Injectors will be awarded on Singularity, which will remain open until 3 February for further testing, so you can have some fun with your SP during that time. Note that only the participants of tomorrow’s mass test are eligible for the Skill Injectors.

Find more details about the test and rewards here.

[h2]Information is Power[/h2]
A dependable local chat system is essential for maintaining situational awareness, identifying threats, and forging alliances. A failure in communication could cost you a ship, a fleet, or a war. This is your chance to be on the frontline of improving a tool that shapes the very fabric of New Eden.

Fly safe and stay in touch!
