Nullification and Warp Module Update – Live Now!

Tactical Capsuleers,

An update that changes nullification and warp core stabilizer gameplay is now live, granting pilots of selected ships new tactical options.

The updates have ultimately been implemented to bring gameplay depth and subtlety to the use of nullification and warp core stabilizers, ensuring they serve a more meaningful role across EVE Online and its community.

Nullification and warp core stabilizers now stand as active modules with a very short activation time and a substantial cooldown between uses. That means select ships can now use them tactically, rather than limited ships being able to take advantage of nullification and warp core stabilizers.

The following ship classes are compatible with the new modules: Interceptors, Blockade Runners, Deep Space Transports, Tech I Industrials, Covert Ops Frigates, Luxury Yachts, and Strategic Cruisers.

This will work as follows:

[h3]Warp Nullification Module[/h3]
- Interceptors, yachts, and nullification subsystems now have passive nullification removed.
- Interceptors, yachts, and nullification subsystems have received a new role bonus: 80% reduced target range penalty and reactivation delay for interdiction nullification modules.
- Interceptors, yachts, and nullification subsystems have now received a new role bonus: 100% increased duration for interdiction nullification modules.
- Passive nullification has been added to all shuttles.
- New blueprints, seeding, and manufacturing data have been added for the new modules.

[h3]Warp Core Stabilizers[/h3]
Warp core stabilizers have been converted to an activated module. Penalties to ship performance remain as a passive effect, and only warp strength is improved when activated.

Warp core stabilizers now carry the following similar statistics:
- Warp Core Stabilizer I
- Activation cost: 80 Gj
- Active Duration: 10 seconds
- Reactivation Delay: 150 seconds
- Maximum number able to be fitted: 1
- Warp Scramble Strength: -2
- Targeting range reduction: -40%
- Scan resolution reduction: -40%
- Drone Bandwidth Penalty: -50%

Can be activated whilst under the effect of a stargate cloak.

Be sure to get a feel for how the updated gameplay will let you be a more tactical pilot in your next trip to New Eden!

Mobile Observatories – Live on Singularity

Observant Capsuleers,

The brand-new Mobile Observatory is now available for testing on the Singularity test server. This deployable will bring a new tool into the mix for defence against cloaking-based incursions into lowsec and nullsec regions. They will work by periodically pinging system wide, with a chance to decloak cloaked ships which may then be combat scanned and destroyed. To prevent this from having a major effect on active players, a new buff will be applied upon recent activation of your cloak which will offer resistance against the Mobile Observatory.

You can test this new deployable right now on the public test server, Singularity. Connecting to Singularity is as easy as clicking on the server option in the bottom right of the EVE launcher and switching from Tranquility to Singularity. You can then undock and test the functionality of the Mobile Observatory versus cloaked targets.

More information about Singularity can be found in the help article and you can provide valuable feedback in the test server feedback forums.

Nullification and WCS Updates – testing has begun!

Balanced Capsuleers,

A new update to nullification and warp core stabilizer gameplay is live on Singularity and pilots are encouraged to head to the Singularity server to try out the new changes.

Converting nullification and warp core stabilizers to stand as active modules that have a substantial cooldown between uses will add depth and alleviate concerns around their previous use as a powerful means to escape.

These updates ultimately look to add gameplay depth and subtlety, while ensuring they serve a more productive role across EVE Online and its community.
