Fly safe, friends!

Quality Capsuleers,

The March release for EVE Online will bring with a number of changes that aim to improve Capsuleer quality of life in New Eden!

As of 23 March, you will be able to install multiple Jump Clones in the same station or structure, as long as it has a Clone Bay facility. This is something that many in the community have been asking for!

Additionally, fitting a Burst Jammer module will disable interdiction nullification, making it less oppressive when fit to nullified Interceptors.

Following on from last year’s From Wormholes With Love update, there will be changes to the jump caps of certain classes of wormhole. The mass allowed to jump through Class 1 through Class 6 wormholes has been increased to allow more flexibility for wormhole travel and control.

Additional details on the wormhole mass change:
Note that this is just the single-transfer mass limit, not the total mass of the hole, with the goal of making rolling a bit easier. High class holes are being given additional restrictions to continue to bar super capitals from moving through them and the increase is not enough to allow capitals access to lower class holes such as C4s.

In an update to the Target Spectrum Breaker module, it will be reworked to reduce a ship’s signature radius for a short duration and will still be locked to Battleships on release.

Be sure to check out the changes on the Singularity test server!

Exuberant Capsuleers,

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and get a free ship SKIN when you buy 1 month of Omega from EVE Online’s in-game New Eden Store, and also when you buy 1100 PLEX from the EVE Store until 11:00 UTC on 22 March!

For every 1 month Omega purchase you make in the New Eden Store, you’ll get the stunning Metamateria Exotica SKIN for the Nergal.

And if that’s not already worth celebrating, you can also get the Tengu Ultra Jungle Magneto SKIN free with every 1100 PLEX purchase from the EVE Store!

Act fast and get into the celebratory spirit!

Adventurous Capsuleers,

Are you an aspiring explorer aching for the frontiers of space? Do you see yourself harvesting resources amidst the majestic asteroid belts of New Eden? If so, then brand-new Mindstorm Experience Packs will connect you to your dreams and allow you to glimpse your future self and career in New Eden!

Featuring new Expert Systems that grant you specific virtual skills and skill levels for a limited time, exploration-themed Mindstorm Experience Packs also contain a fully-fitted Tech 1 exploration Frigate that’s ready to fly, and even 10 PLEX that you can trade for ISK to help fund further vessels (in case you need a replacement). This experience is available for pilots of all four of New Eden’s great empires; Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, and Minmatar.

For those of you who harbor ambitions of a life amongst the cluster’s asteroid belts, the Mindstorm Mining Experience Pack contains the Mining Barge Operator Expert System that provides the virtual skills and skill levels necessary to operate a Mining Barge such as a Procurer for 7 days. It also comes with 50 PLEX that you can trade for millions of ISK to help you make that first Mining Barge ship purchase!

Taste your destiny as one of New Eden’s immortal elite as you experience a particular profession before committing fully to completing the required skill training.

The only thing left is to ask yourself is “Who do I want to be today?”

Experimental Capsuleers,

From today, a greater number of pilots have the opportunity to join a time-limited test of a cloud-based platform that allows a fully-featured EVE Online to be played in-browser, instantly.

Newly named as ‘EVE Anywhere’, the cloud platform has entered beta following a successful early-stage trial that saw EVE Online players explore the innovative and robust technology while helping improve its offering. The new test will help further shape and refine the platform while exploring the potential of wider availability in the future.

Conceived to expand the player community of EVE Online, EVE Anywhere removes barriers for newcomers, while providing veterans of New Eden with an extremely convenient way to access their game.
The early-stage trial has already demonstrated that potential, seeing first-time EVE Online players stay for longer, with higher numbers converting into full-time pilots.


EVE Anywhere enables instant access over supported browsers - Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox - and requires no downloads whatsoever. Supporting 1080p resolution and gameplay at 60FPS, it provides a way to play EVE Online unimaginable even a few years ago.

While the early tests of the cloud-platform were limited to new players in the United States, as of today all US-based pilots that meet connection speed and browser requirements will be offered full access to EVE Anywhere.

Omega pilots in the USA can currently enjoy EVE Anywhere for the duration of the new test at no additional cost, providing an opportunity to experience the new platform while there is no charge.

Newcomers to New Eden, meanwhile, will be invited to the cloud beta as part of their free EVE Online sign-up, while upgrading to Omega will enable them to continue exploring the game from their second session instantly via their web browser.


To begin your journey through EVE Anywhere, head over to the home page where eligible, logged-in pilots will find a 'Launch EVE Online’ button once you are signed in.

We look forward to welcoming you to the cloud and extend thanks to all players that help us test this ambitious new approach.
