New Eve Online event sets players against huge waves of powerful foes

Eve Online is a legendary MMO for many reasons such as its universe, the depth of the options available to you, and how game-changing you and your friends can truly be. It's a staggering game that often breaks free of its servers to bring stories out into the real world of skulduggery, backstabbing, and naked corporate greed. Now, it's time for a tale of war, as the Siege of Zarzakh has begun - and Eve Online players can play their part.

Zarzakh is under siege

[h3]Courageous capsuleers, [/h3]
The Siege of Zarzakh has begun! In this limited-time event, groups of 8-10 capsuleers must pass through perilous star systems to reach Horizon Siege Point sites and destroy Drifter siege engines. As the Drifters attack the four star systems with direct gates to Zarzakh, participating capsuleers can earn valuable rewards defending against the onslaught. Oh, and a tip? Keep your Opportunities info panel open when tackling these sites.

These dangerous systems aren’t for the faint of heart and travel here is hazardous. Drifters and Sleepers will also be roaming the star systems where attacks are taking place and sites will be limited to battlecruisers and smaller ships. With this in mind, fleeting up is strongly advised.

In response to these attacks, Zarzakh’s gates have now been placed under Emanation Lock. Capsuleers will only be able to leave Zarzakh via the gate through which they arrived until the 6-hour timer runs out. After 6 hours in-system, the Fulcrum will "naturalize" individual capsuleers as belonging in Zarzakh, letting them pass through any gate.


Joining this event lets capsuleers face off against increasingly powerful enemies, prove themselves in combat, and just possibly get the chance to lure Drifter officers to Horizon Siege Point sites. How? That’s for you to discover.


Recent news has revealed that the Deepflow Rift sites will be closing soon. The Society of Conscious Thought (SOCT) has detected a drop in the energy signatures in the deepflow coinciding with the Drifters’ assault on the gate systems. As these caused the rifts, SOCT scientists predict the deepflow will stabilize and rifts will cease to appear on 12 September.

New Challenges in Deepflow Rifts

Adventurous capsuleers,

Pilots across New Eden are witnessing a surge in hostile activity as mysterious rifts to Triglavian space have begun to appear. These time-limited Deepflow Rift sites have surfaced in both known space and wormhole systems, offering daring pilots the chance to face new challenges and claim valuable rewards. This comes amid a noted increase in Drifter and Triglavian Collective activity, the root cause of which remains unknown at this time.  

[h3]DEEPFLOW RIFTS PROMISE NEW CHALLENGES[/h3]
Beginning on 27 August, intrepid capsuleers can seek out these new rifts and engage in new and exciting activities. The limited-time Deepflow Rift sites promise significant rewards, including coveted Triglavian Survey Data and lucrative “blue loot,” but have the potential to lead to clashes with hostile Rogue Drones. Not only that, these sites will only be accessible in a certain time window, so warp in today and avoid missing out.


For those who take on the Deepflow Rift sites, it is important to keep the Opportunities info panel open. There, you will find the necessary guidance to help you tackle the rift, keep instability down to avoid Rogue Drone surges, and keep your expedition profitable.


[h3]ABYSSAL ARTIFACT RECOVERY REVAMP[/h3]
In high security space, the familiar Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites – part of Homefront Operations - have undergone significant updates, introducing fresh challenges and enhanced rewards. Capsuleers must now mine out the site before the timer ends. Those who find success will start the process all over again, facing off against increasingly difficult enemies, unpredictable weather effects, and shorter time limits. The further you go, the greater the reward. These updates ensure that capsuleers have ample opportunities to participate in the ongoing struggles and progress in New Eden, while also having access to valuable resources.

As the enigmatic forces behind these disturbances continue to advance their agenda, all capsuleers are encouraged to ready their ships and prepare for the trials ahead.


[h3]SEIZE YOUR CHANCE[/h3]
Whether you’re diving into the newly discovered Deepflow Rifts or navigating the enhanced Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites, New Eden is ripe with adventure. Prepare your ships, gather your allies, and make your presence known.

Equinox Update: SKINR Enhanced

[h3]Daring capsuleers, [/h3]
The ongoing effort to create new career and specialization opportunities for budding SKINdustrialists  continues today with a new Equinox update. Several alterations were made in the last update on 25 July, including modifications to the cost and time requirements associated with SKINR, and a new skill that reduces Paragon Hub vendor fees. Today’s update continues that trajectory, adding the ability to try out any design elements in your creations and apply all nanocoatings to any slot, as well as several quality-of-life improvements. Furthermore, for the next seven days, you can claim daily SKINR-themed rewards. At the same time, work continues on other important updates to Equinox, such as Skyhook raiding and more. 

UPDATE: In a happy little accident the DLI has been extended until 27 August and the total available skill points will be 425,000 for Omegas.

[h2]ENHANCED CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES [/h2]
Today’s update introduces the ability to try out any design element when crafting SKINs, whether you own them or not, enabling you to freely experiment with various elements to realize your creative vision, and then acquire them when you’re ready to sequence your designs. In addition, all nanocoatings can now be applied to any slot, opening more possibilities than ever before.  



Several quality-of-life improvements have also been added, including sorting nanocoatings by hue in the studio, streamlining the design process and speeding up the workflow. The interface now also links directly to the market or Paragon Hub if you need to quickly acquire the elements you’re missing for your masterpiece.  



In addition, for the next 12 days, you can claim daily SKINR-themed rewards, so be sure to log in every day to add to your collection of design elements and other components necessary to realize your artistic vision. Don’t miss stunning nanocoatings, sequencers, boosters, and up to 200,000 SP, perfect for training the recently added skills to further your design career. 

[h2]SHARING IS CARING[/h2]
Another update is coming very soon that introduces the ability to share your saved SKIN masterpieces through chat, whether you want to create an awesome design to fly with your friends, get specialized SKINdustrialists to sequence your creations, or just contribute to a vibrant SKIN ecosystem. 

[h2]LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD[/h2]
The ability to design SKINs using any elements regardless of ownership allows any capsuleer to freely explore the creative limits of SKIN design, contribute to the colorful tapestry of New Eden, and share your creative vision with the universe without needing to fund the sequencing or acquire all the necessary design elements.  

We look forward to seeing the latest SKINR creations flying in space.
