EVE Online News

Fearless Capsuleers,

The Abyssal Proving Grounds are returning and they'll be better than ever for EVE Online's Phoenix Quadrant!

In an update to Quality of Life for the feature, the Proving Grounds will now have persistent in-game leaderboards so that you can track your progress (and that of others) across the events, as well as auto-rewarding of prizes. These QoL upgrades will apply to both Tranquility and Serenity servers!

The events themselves will feature many new formats for combatants to sink their teeth into, and as rewards there will be new SKINs for Battlecruisers (Brutix, Cyclone, Ferox, Prophecy) and Destroyers (Catalyst, Coercer, Cormorant, Thrasher).

Be sure to check out full details on how the Abyssal Proving Grounds events work and keep track of Capsuleer performance and prowess in these Proving Grounds events using the leaderboards!

The shape of New Eden has been altered forever in the aftermath of the Triglavian Invasion, so now it's time to rise from the ashes in "Phoenix", EVE Online's Quadrant 4! Following on from the fantastic Fight or Flight, Eclipse, and Zenith Quadrants in 2020, Phoenix will end the year spectacularly with big changes to Supercarriers, continuous balance and meta changes, as well as the Crimson Harvest and Yoiul Festival events.

With their invasion now complete, the Triglavian Collective's usurping of many star systems has changed the landscape of New Eden forever! Capsuleers have joined their cause, taken up arms against them, and in some cases have been forced to relocate to other systems.

EVE's colossal Supercarriers will be getting a major update in the Phoenix Quadrant, including the introduction of a new tactical clone ability, allowing destroyed player capsules to respawn immediately at a local fleet Supercarrier and into a new ship stowed inside the Supercarrier itself! There will also be a significant visual update to Supercarriers in this update.

The highly popular Abyssal Proving Grounds will carry on into the Phoenix Quadrant, allowing Capsuleers to continue pitching themselves into intense PvP combat inside Abyssal Deadspace with different formats, specific ship classes, and leaderboards!

Phoenix will also bring with it various themed seasonal events, celebrations, and login campaigns, including the return of the Crimson Harvest, as well as the Yoiul Festival. There will also be new, ongoing daily challenges that will develop into a robust system, giving Capsuleers more reasons to undock and engage!

Keep your eyes peeled for even more news on what's coming during the Phoenix Quadrant over the following weeks, including visual updates, meta changes, login campaigns, events and more.

In addition, the new Ascendant Phoenix and Blazing Phoenix Packs are now available to purchase for new and experienced players, marking the beginning of EVE Online's Phoenix Quadrant! Act fast, though, as both packs are only available until 11:00 UTC on 1 December 2020!

Fly safe!

Greetings,

Another Streamfleet Twitch vs EVE event is imminent, and this time around, things are going to be spooky!

The Streamfleet Twitch vs EVE 4 will commence on Saturday, 31 October at 16:00 UTC and feature a fleet of EVE Online streamers led by a record of seven experienced and well-known Fleet Commanders, such as BjornBee, Greygal, iBeast, BalefulDysnomia and even our own CCP Auroura! If you are streaming EVE Online on Twitch and would like to take part in this event, you can still register here.

Over the course of the event, apart from the total destruction and a thrill of roaming, there will be interviews with various FCs, CEOs and community members with a special focus on new player friendly corporations. All rookies are encouraged to join the show to learn a bit more about what they have to offer!

This is shaping up to be a chilling performance and CCP developers, Game Masters and ISDs will also be participating and bringing along some treats for those brave enough to clash with the roaming fleets! Rumour has it there will even be some physical prizes up for grabs, thanks to the streaming community.

The event will be mainly in English, but players from all around the world are welcome to join the fun.

See you on the grid o7

While the invading forces of the Triglavian Collective appear to have paused activity for the past few days following the fall of Krirald into Final Liminality, there are signs that could point to imminent escalation in activity. As a result, all Capsuleers are advised to attend the important status briefing stream on developments surrounding the Triglavian invasion on Sunday 11 October at 18:00 UTC.

EDENCOM Fleet Commander Arsia Elkin from Electus Matari and esteemed researcher Uriel Paradisi Anteovnuecci of the Arataka Research Consortium will join briefing host Carneros for this broadcast, which will include time for Q&A from the audience. For your convenience, the broadcast will feature an abridged history and background of the Triglavian Collective and their invasion of New Eden.

This stream will be delivered in English.

The data coming in to EVE Online's Project Discovery is now more complex than before, requiring even more accurate submissions by players. With Capsuleers continuing to provide valuable and usable data for the scientific community in helping to understand how COVID-19 affects immune systems, it's the perfect time to talk to some of the people involved in bringing this amazing citizen science initiative to EVE!

• Professor Ryan Brinkman - Distinguished Scientist, BC Cancer Agency and Department of Medical Genetics, University of British Columbia
  
• Associate Professor Jerome Waldispuhl - School of Computer Science, McGill University
