[h2]Festive Capsuleers,[/h2]

Today the season of celebration has arrived in New Eden! With it comes Naughty or Nice and all the events therein!

[h3]13 days of EVE[/h3]
The popular 13 Days of EVE event returns for the holiday season, with free rewards available daily for logging in as an Alpha or an Omega between 12 Dec and 7 Jan. Upgrading to Omega will mean you get better free gifts plus all the Alpha rewards too! The improved rewards include an unreleased Permaband SKIN, exclusive Facial Augmentations, more snowballs, more Skill Points, more Boosters, more Abyssal Deadspace Filaments, and...you guessed it...even more besides!

[h3]Chilling Spree[/h3]
In addition - and back by popular demand but with a slight…holiday twist - you will once again be able to receive a great amount of Skill Points (and mysterious travel rewards) for completing daily NPC and Capsuleer-hunting challenges in the festively-named Chilling Spree event. Be aware though, you're going to need those snowballs from the 13 Days of EVE to complete the missions in Chilling Spree, so make sure you log in daily and stock up.

[h3]Melted snowballs[/h3]
Do you have melted snowballs from past events? You’re in luck! Head over to the Yoiul Festival Snowball Exchange located in numerous places in Hi-Sec and use the Meltwater-Snowball Exchanger to trade in those melted snowballs in exchange for brand new ones to use in Chilling Spree!

[h3]A mysterious travel filament[/h3]
Surprise gifts and visits are synonymous with this time of year, so keep an eye on your daily login gifts during the 13 Days of EVE, as you never know what you might get and where it might take you and your fellow pilots in Null-Sec! The RDLF-09 Filament is……especially exciting. These filaments are available exclusively during the holiday event, so make sure you don’t miss out on the opportunity to surprise your fellow capsuleers.

[h3]New Eden Store Sale[/h3]

Defenders and offenders of New Eden, the second chapter in the EVE Online - Invasion expansion is now live, and free to download for all players!

With Invasion Chapter 2 comes the introduction of a new Triglavian combat experience, one where you will have to choose between siding with the Empires or the Triglavian Collective in engagements, allowing for two paths through the encounters!

The awesome new Triglavian Dreadnought - the Zirnitra - also makes its bow in this new chapter. This new ship will prove a challenging adversary for Capsuleers, but also a desirable prize for those that can pilot it. There will also be new skills required for piloting the Dreadnought, as well as the monstrous new Ultratidal Entropic Disintegrator guns and new ammo for it.



There are updates to the Loyalty Point Store, meaning that you can now get an all new Mimesis Implant set in both mid and low-grade versions, giving a maximum damage multiplier bonus to Triglavian weapons for even more raw firepower from these already formidable weapons. There are also 16 new SKINs in the Firestorm line available!

This new chapter in the Invasion expansion also brings with it other new features too, including Shareable Bookmarks. This new addition allows Capsuleers to share specific locations in New Eden with alliance members and anyone else they choose, with control over access and duration.

Fly safe, Capsuleers, and prepare for further invasion!
