EVE Online News

A new Abyssal Proving Grounds event is now live in EVE Online, so make sure you have your Proving Filaments handy either from Abyssal Deadspace loot drops, or from the in-game market!

Until 11:00 UTC on 1 September, you can engage in 5v5 Corvette combat, meaning that the permitted hulls for this event are the Ibis, Velator, Reaper, and Impairor - with no modules higher than meta level 4 (T1 and Named). Pirate implants are also restricted. Furthermore, there is a limit of two corvettes of any given type in a single fleet.

Don't forget, you can keep track of Capsuleer performance and prowess in this event using the leaderboards.

If you need some fitting ideas for these little bruisers, Ashy aka Ashley Traynor has written up an article on her blog. Keep an eye out for these fittings using the Community Fittings filter of the in-game Fitting window as well.

But wait, there's more!



Later today, a crack team of our elite Interstellar Services Department volunteers will be throwing down in the Proving Grounds and streaming it live on CCP TV from 18:00 UTC/EVE. Tune in for some fun PvP action or grab some friends and seek them out in-game!

Don't miss your chance to get 15% off 30 days of Omega Clone State when purchased from EVE Online's New Eden Store before 11:00 UTC on 30 August!

The Dreaded Collective update is now live! There are changes to Triglavian vessels, including ammo damage upgrades to the Zirnitra that make it a strong competitor against other Dreadnoughts. There are also adjustments to elements of the Kikimora, Leshak, Vedmak and Draugur, bringing further balance to Triglavian ships.

These changes will have an impact on fleet doctrines, affect meta, and add further usability to specific vessels.

Wandering Capsuleers,

The Metaliminal Storms update is now live in EVE Online, meaning chaotic storms of Abyssal energy will start appearing randomly in nullsec space. These roaming storms will move slowly between star systems via the gate network.

The wandering weather will apply system effects, not unlike those seen in wormhole space and Abyssal Deadspace, with a core of systems that contain the strongest effects, as well as a periphery of additional star systems exhibiting weaker versions of those effects, also. The storms may even meet and collide in space!

These storms affect Capsuleer vessels in a number of ways, providing new challenges and opportunities across nullsec frontiers. In addition to the system effects, the core systems also have additional sites spawning that can be discovered by Capsuleers who venture into the storm for potential riches!
