Equinox Expands: A New Update

[h2]Sovereign capsuleers, [/h2]
It’s been nine days since Equinox launched, and you have certainly been busy! SKINdustrialists have been traveling far and wide to find SKINR components in space to craft thousands of amazing designs, while the new Upwell industrial ships have been snagging kills left and right, as well as doing their fair share of exploding. Over in nullsec, orbital skyhooks are stocking up on superionic ice and magmatic gas, and Metenox moon drills are busy harvesting. 

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
As part of the phased rollout of Equinox, IRIS has announced that the Paragon Hub will now allow the sale of player-created SKINs, three Homefront Operations have been added, tailored toward smaller groups, and there is an important announcement regarding the transition to the new sovereignty system. 

[h3]Unleash your creativity with SKINR[/h3]
Capsuleers, your wait is over! The Paragon Hub is now fully open, allowing you to trade your SKIN masterpieces, created through SKINR. Buy, sell, and showcase your unique ship SKINs, enhancing the personalization of your fleets, make massive profits from your artistic talents, and start building your design empire. Paragon is thrilled to support capsuleers in expressing their individuality and creativity. 


In an official statement, Paragon’s cybernetic liaison, IRIS, emphasized the importance of this new platform: “We are on a journey to help our capsuleer partners be more. By expanding the Paragon Hub, we are providing a unique opportunity for creativity and community engagement.”

In celebration of the launch of SKIN trading in the Paragon Hub, several EVE developers have crafted exclusive SKINs using SKINR. These one-of-a-kind creations will be sold in the Paragon Hub, with all proceeds (and associated fees) being donated to Art Without Borders, an Icelandic charity focused on the visibility of artists with disabilities. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of EVE history and contribute to a worthy cause. Keep an eye on the Paragon Hub as of today for these rare finds and make sure to check back frequently to see the latest offerings from talented capsuleers.

Promote your designs on social media using the hashtag #SKINRShowdown and inspire others with your creativity. Paragon and IRIS are here to support you in making a name for yourself as a SKIN design powerhouse in New Eden. The SKINR journey will continue with exciting updates and upgrades in upcoming releases and expansions, with plans already in place to add the ability to share designs, more group-focused features, as well as new design elements and more.

[h3]TRANSITION TO THE NEW SOVEREIGNTY SYSTEM [/h3]
The Equinox expansion introduces new Upwell structures and customization opportunities: the sovereignty hub, sovereignty upgrades, the orbital skyhook, and the Metenox moon drill. These structures harvest and make use of a whole new set of resources to New Eden. These resources redefine what makes a system or constellation valuable, adding unprecedented topology to sovereign nullsec space.


Originally, the transition to this new system of sovereignty was due to start today on 20 June, however the start of the sovereignty transition is now being delayed until 27 June. This decision has not been taken lightly, and there is great appreciation for the impact that these changes will have. By listening to your feedback, discussions, and communicating extensively with the CSM, there are a few small changes that will be made in order to bring this new system more in line with how it was intended to be.

Next week you will get a full rundown of all the iterations being made, along with a breakdown of the new upgrades and what you can expect from each one. Giving you the right toolset to empower you to write your stories is the absolute priority. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

[h3]SMALL FLEETS, HUGE IMPACT [/h3]
In response to player feedback, three new Homefront Operations sites have been introduced, specifically tailored for groups of three players and set in highsec space. This change addresses the difficulty many capsuleers faced in consistently meeting the five-player requirement, allowing smaller teams to engage in these operations.


The new operations include Stabilize Rift, Salvage Research, and Traffic Stop. In Stabilize Rift, capsuleers will navigate a site filled with fully charged Destabilizing Arrays that must be drained using energy neutralizers. The objective is to reduce all batteries to below 20% charge simultaneously, all while managing enemy NPCs that attempt to recharge them. Salvage Research involves securing encrypted data from wreckage before the site’s reactor explodes. In Traffic Stop, capsuleers must use cargo scanners to identify NPCs smuggling Contraband Data and destroy them before they dock, while ensuring that no more than three civilians are harmed, otherwise the operation will be terminated

Only Tech I frigates and standard Tech I destroyers are permitted to enter these sites and the first pilot to activate the acceleration gate claims ownership, forcing others outside their fleet to face a suspect timer when activating the gate.

[h3]CELEBRATE SOLSTICE[/h3]
In addition to the reinvigoration of nullsec, and continuing with the new upgrades, planetside combat zones are more action-packed and dangerous than ever. The Solstice event for EVE Vanguard runs from 12:00 UTC on 20 June – 12:00 on 1 July, bringing the biggest update yet, including a stunning yet hazardous new map to conquer, new activities, objectives, and cool gadgets, in addition to gun SKINs, and much more. There has never been a more exciting time to jump into the in-development sandbox FPS.


[h3]MERCH STORE SKIN GIVEAWAY [/h3]

Classic colossal sci-fi MMO revamps the most dangerous part of space

One of the key aspects of capitalism is that no resource can go unexploited. Even in lawless areas of space filled with raiders out for your blood in the far future that's still true. In the latest expansion for EVE Online the notoriously dangerous nullsec zones are being opened up for exploitation, and you and your fellow space-capitalists are all invited.

The Equinox Expansion is Now Live

Aspirational capsuleers,

The rejuvenation of nullsec has begun! New Upwell structures are now available to corporation and alliance leaders, to shape sovereign space in their image, and pilots can fly new defense-capable industrial ships into a new era. Creative capsuleers are empowered to design personalized ship SKINs for themselves or their organization and tackle new and improved goals and Corp Projects. In addition, the biggest update to EVE Vanguard since December is coming in the Solstice event, introducing a new map, weapon modifications, and more.

[h3]To celebrate the launch of Equinox, all capsuleers can now claim 7 free days of Omega by visiting the New Eden Store (offer available until 20 June). [/h3]

Seize control as EVE Online: Equinox, the first major expansion of 2024, goes live.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]NULLSEC RISES [/h2]
The Equinox expansion aims to to make null security space more meaningful and active, endowed with more customization options for content and activities, and creating topology. Star systems are seeing impactful changes, with planets now being integral to each system's function, dictating their strategic importance.

Equinox empowers capsuleers to shake up the status quo in nullsec with the introduction of major new Upwell structures. The orbital skyhook replaces and retains the customs office's function and enables the extraction of new colony resources. These structures are tempting for the criminal element, introducing a periodic risk of encountering a Pirate Orbital Blockade, which can lead to rewards in ISK as well as enhanced defensive rating for the solar system. Blueprints for the orbital skyhook will be available upon the launch of Equinox.



The sovereignty hub is replacing the territorial claim unit and the infrastructure hub on 20 June, thereby enhancing sovereignty management, upgrade mechanics, and gameplay in capsuleer-controlled systems. Its key feature is sovereignty upgrades, allowing alliances to improve and customize their space by detecting previously undiscovered ores or new, harder combat anomalies. All existing infrastructure hubs will be visually represented by the new sovereignty hub model (including name and description) on expansion day, but the window to transition to the new functionality will start on 20 June and remain open until November.

The expansion introduces three new colony resources: Power, workforce, and reagents. These are required to fuel the various upgrades available to the sovereignty hub, impacting the customization options available in that territory.

Another deployable structure in Equinox is the Metenox moon drill, powered by fuel blocks and reagents. It can be deployed at moons in lowsec, nullsec, and wormhole space, and while less efficient than manual extraction, it automatically collects the resources obtained from mining and refining moon ore. Metenox blueprints will be available from 13 June.

You can start building all the sovereignty upgrades as soon as the expansion launches, and the moon drills once the blueprints become available. You will then have a few days to strategize and start gathering reagents, so you can power them up as soon as their respective systems go live. With the Equinox suite, Upwell sets out to redefine the strategic importance of system locations within the universe. It enables capsuleers to shape sovereign space in their image and bring added control to their territories.

[h2]Transports with Teeth[/h2]
The Equinox expansion introduces a formidable lineup of new Upwell industrial ships, enhancing the fleet capabilities of capsuleers venturing into the resource-rich expanses of nullsec.
  • The Squall, a base Tech I hauler.
  • The Deluge, a sleek Tech II blockade runner variation of the Squall.
  • The Torrent, a robust deep space transport.
  • The Avalanche freighter, the largest ship from Upwell.

Each is equipped with a large infrastructure hold, able to store essential items for owning and upgrading sovereign space. Despite their primary role as industrial ships, all four boast considerable missile firepower for their size, to deter potential aggressors keen on plundering their valuable cargo.

[h2]New Colors for New Eden[/h2]
Equinox also brings new hues to New Eden through SKINR for ships, which empowers you to craft your unique identity and make each ship a true statement of expression through the design of unique custom SKINs. The possibilities are vast: from adorning your own ships or strengthening the collective identity of your group to embarking on a new creative career.

Offering a robust palette of design elements as well as extensive customization options, capsuleer creativity will truly explode. With SKINR you can move, rotate, and resize patterns, as well as colorize distinct sections of your ship, ensuring even the smallest tweaks create stunning, unique outcomes.



“This is the beginning of a colorful new era for New Eden,” Paragon’s cybernetic liaison, IRIS, said in an official announcement. She added that you can already acquire colors and patterns in the Paragon Hub to fuel your creations, and on 20 June the Hub will extend to trading sequenced SKINs, giving capsuleers time to craft amazing SKINs to sell.

To celebrate the launch, Paragon will be presenting you with daily gifts for the next 7 days, to get you off to a strong start as SKIN artists. Paragon claim this is just the beginning of SKINR for ships, and that the future is bright for this “suite of innovations that puts the power squarely where it belongs; in your hands.”

Capsuleers are encouraged to promote their designs on social media using the hashtag #SKINRShowdown. Embrace your creativity and watch it soar with SKINR!



[h2]Goal by Goal to Domination[/h2]
Equinox introduces significant enhancements to AIR Daily Goals, adding a monthly reward track to offer more incentives for completing daily activities across all professions. This new addition includes a 12-step progression system where rewards are granted every third step, as well as two new goal types.

Equinox also brings a comprehensive update to the corporation window, with a modern and user-friendly interface. Additionally, three new types of Corporation Projects are introduced: Ship Loss, Earn Loyalty Points, and Salvaging.



Various aspects of ship interactions are being refined to enhance the overall experience for capsuleers and make New Eden’s vessels and the requirements for flying them easier to understand. When you meet the requirements to activate a new ship, you will receive a notification and can navigate to the ship tree, where unlocked ships will be highlighted. The new additions make skill training and hangar management easier and more accessible than ever before.

[h2]Epic New Era for EVE Vanguard[/h2]
This month will see the biggest update to EVE Vanguard since launch, with the Solstice event, running from 20 June-1 July, introducing major improvements and new content. The new additions include a brand-new map, new objectives and activities including shield-protected vaults full of loot, a mining tether to facilitate resource discovery, proximity mines, and more. You will also get your hands on weapon modifications, an exciting, newly introduced feature. Furthermore, modifications and certain inventory items will be persistent across sessions, meaning you can bring your arsenal back with you, as long as you extract it successfully.

Since December, Vanguard warclones have been taking to planet surfaces in New Eden to duke it out in human-scale combat. Monthly playtests for Founders have been instrumental in informing improvements and changes to the game, which is still in early development with the help of the player community and those who have been active on the First Strike journey can look forward to epic rewards.

The Solstice event is available to everyone with Omega status. For those eager to participate in the event and witness the exciting updates to Vanguard, you can take advantage of 7 days Omega time for free, if you claim it no later than 20 June, or purchase the Warclone Omega bundle between 20 June and 1 July.



[h2]Carrier Revolution[/h2]

Equinox introduces a revolution in fleet dynamics as carriers are now empowered with the conduit jump capability, allowing them to transport up to 30 subcapital ships directly into battle. This enables smaller alliances to mobilize forces swiftly and engage in strategic maneuvers previously reserved for larger entities with titans.

In addition, carriers can now equip micro jump drives and capital micro jump field generators. These tools enhance battlefield control, offering the ability to reposition fleets and disrupt enemy formations with unprecedented precision. Whether you're leading a daring strike or providing critical support, the revamped carrier capabilities are designed to redefine your strategic gameplay and elevate your role in New Eden's vast conflicts.



Alongside this, twelve new faction light and support fighters have been introduced. Navy faction fighters are significantly more resilient than Tech I and Tech II fighters, and can withstand much more, but it comes at the expense of firepower and strength in electronic warfare, both of which are slightly lower than for their Tech II counterparts. Blueprint copies for the new fighters are available exclusively in empire Factional Warfare militia LP stores.

[h2]Embrace the Thrill[/h2]
As mentioned in the Directors’ Stream, New Eden continues to evolve with player-centric updates, bringing more rewards and risks to those who take on the challenge of Agency sites in Pochven. Incursions have gotten significant updates, with increased preparation time for combat, safer travel, and bounties to provide incentive for destruction. Furthermore, Homefront operations have been enhanced to help prevent griefing. More information about these exciting updates can be found here.



[h2]Manufacturing Enhancements[/h2]
Also mentioned in the Directors’ Stream, further changes are coming to the manufacturing landscape, making it more attractive for industrious pilots. Build materials are being reduced for certain projects, meaning faster and more efficient production, a new skill requirement for Genetic Mutation Inhibitors adds depth to the crafting process, and Loyalty Point (LP) stores will now offer ship blueprints exclusively, fostering a thriving manufacturing economy. These updates not only enhance the allure of production but also encourage players to become master craftsmen, driving the market and the universe of New Eden forward.

[h2]Stunning Destruction[/h2]


All New Eden planets have received a visual overhaul, with new high-resolution textures and enhanced shaders, adding more vibrancy, variation and detail. Bomb effects have also been updated to look more modern and have a bigger visual impact, making them feel more powerful and visceral than ever before. Distinct effects for different bomb types also improve gameplay readability and immersion. Destruction in New Eden has never been more stunning!



[h2]Stay Tuned for Twitch Drops[/h2]
As you venture into a rejuvenated nullsec, start a new career as a SKIN designer, set new and lofty goals, or all of the above, be sure to keep your eye on CCP TV for amazing Twitch drops, full of goodies to make your adventures more fruitful. Some of the treats you can expect to drop are EverMarks, SKINR design elements, so stay tuned.



[h2]Enjoy Free Omega Time[/h2]
To celebrate the launch of Equinox, all capsuleers can now claim 7 free days of Omega by visiting the New Eden Store (offer available until 20 June). Omega status unlocks access to EVE’s best ships, doubled skill training speed, the ability to sequence SKINs for Omega only ships, more rewards as you complete Daily Goals and Paragon missions and much more.

Thrilling Dynamics: New Equinox Details

Thrilling capsuleers, 

The Equinox expansion is only days away, and new additions are still being announced, the latest including new fleet dynamics, visual enhancements, balance updates, and more. These were among the exciting topics discussed in the recent Directors’ Chat, where CCP Burger and CCP Rattati and guests went over some of the things to look forward to when the expansion launches on 11 June, read on for exciting, previously unannounced news or more details read the in-depth patch notes

[h3]Embrace the Thrill  [/h3]
New Eden continues to evolve with updates that bring more rewards and risks to daring capsuleers. In Pochven, some community-requested quality-of-life changes have been made to the Observatory Flashpoints, while changes to Incursions provide ample time to prepare and engage in combat. The Triglavian Collective now targets only pilots with negative standings in minor victory systems, making travel safer for most while maintaining the thrill of combat for the brave. 


Homefront operations have been enhanced to foster balanced competitive gameplay. The first pilot to activate the acceleration gate claims ownership, forcing others outside their fleet to face a suspect timer and additional risks. Empire faction cruisers are now barred from gate access, and the payouts have been adjusted to promote more group activity. 

Wormhole space also sees significant changes in class 5 and class 6 cosmic anomalies and signatures. Escalation waves will now despawn if capital ships leave the site or stray beyond 100km of the warp-in point, meaning that they must remain on the field to trigger valuable drifter escalations, thus adding an element of risk for greater rewards. This update brings back the excitement of capital ship engagements, reminiscent of the early days when these sites required capitals to run effectively. Capsuleers can now choose their level of risk, with rewards scaling accordingly, promoting more dynamic and thrilling encounters in wormhole space. 


[h3]Master the Art of Production[/h3]
Manufacturing will also see significant improvements. Reductions in build materials for Vendetta and Vehement ships, the CRAB beacon, and Tech II capital guns make production faster and more efficient. Genetic Mutation Inhibitors will get a new skill point requirement, Mutagenic Stabilization, which makes its build time closer to that of other components and adds new depth to the crafting process. Ship blueprints will now be exclusively available from Loyalty Point (LP) stores, promoting a thriving manufacturing economy and encouraging capsuleers to become master craftsmen, driving the market and the universe of New Eden forward. Furthermore, Neurolink Conduits will no longer be required for pirate ship blueprints and replaced with new materials that will be available in relevant Pirate LP Stores. 

[h3]The Almighty Boosh[/h3]
Since the Uprising expansion, the capital meta has been looking ever healthier, with dread brawls becoming more and more common, specifically in lowsec. There is great interest in making sure that the capital meta continues to evolve, giving you new tools, new tactics, and new challenges to master. Equinox is all about adding new dimensions to space, making it logical to add a new dimension to capital warfare. 


Carriers will now be able to fit a pair of new modules: the Capital Micro Jump Field Generator (CMJFG) and the Capital Micro Jump Drive. These modules have a whopping 250km of range, allowing carriers to dictate the breadth of the battlefield. The CMJFG will be able to move 50 subcapital ships and 4 capital ships within a system - and yes, that includes capitals in siege/triage. Additionally, Equinox introduces conduit jumping for carriers, empowering them to transport up to 30 subcapital ships between systems, directly into the heat of battle. This game-changing feature will enable smaller alliances to swiftly mobilize their forces and execute strategic maneuvers previously reserved for larger entities equipped with titans. 

To ensure that carriers have a role outside of the large set-piece battles, they’ll also have a new innate ability: conduit jumping. With new objectives in space for the nomadic and raiding playstyles, the aim is to ensure that groups have more tools at their disposal. While fielding a carrier is a significant step up from a black-ops drop, the variety of doctrine choices – along with the new CMJFGs – will be a powerful new tool. 


Accompanying these changes are twelve new faction light and support fighters, each boasting significant resilience compared to their Tech I and Tech II counterparts. These fighters trade off some firepower and electronic warfare strength for durability, providing new tactical options for capsuleers. Blueprint copies for these new fighters are now available exclusively in empire Factional Warfare militia LP stores. 

As the prevalence of navy dreadnoughts has increased, their enhanced durability posed a challenge for Titans to maintain their battlefield dominance. To ensure that Titans remain potent threats, capable of countering the sturdier navy dreadnoughts, the Doomsday weapons on Titans have been enhanced, now dealing a formidable 3 million damage with max skills.  

[h3]Stunning Visual Enhancements[/h3]


The expansion will significantly upgrade New Eden's visual experience. All planets are getting new stunning high-resolution textures, enhanced shaders, and dynamic elements that bring them to life like never before. Upwell Citadels, including Athanor, Tatara, Raitaru, Azbel, and Sotiyo, will see lighting overhauls to enhance their visual appeal. Bomb effects will also receive updates, delivering a more modern and impactful visual representation that will enhance gameplay readability and immersion. Distinct effects for different bomb types ensure that every explosion is not only powerful but also visually informative. Did someone fire off the wrong type of bomb? Now it’ll be easier to tell who to blame! 


This update brings a new level of detail and vibrancy to the universe, making every corner of New Eden more captivating and immersive. 

[h3]Get Ready for Equinox[/h3]
A new era for New Eden is dawning with Equinox, now mere days away. The expansion promises to transform the cluster, offering thrilling new challenges, customization options, breathtaking visuals, and strategic opportunities for all capsuleers. Get ready to seize control on 11 June!
