This year sees the celebration of a momentous milestone – 20 incredible years of EVE Online! As a testament to your commitment and the legacy you have built together over the past two decades, we’re expanding the EVE Monument, and now you have a unique opportunity to permanently carve your legacy into New Eden’s history.
The Worlds Within A World EVE Monument in Reykjavík, Iceland, is an awe-inspiring tribute to dedicated EVE pilots that was created as part of the celebrations around EVE’s 10th anniversary and is engraved with over half a million names for all to admire. Now, for the first time in 10 years, you have the rare opportunity to add your character’s name to the monument and forever join the legends of New Eden in being immortalized!
To have your character’s name engraved on the monumental expansion, make sure to have an active Omega account on 6 May 2023 (in any time zone), and your character with the highest amount of Skill Points will forever stand alongside the legends of New Eden. If you’re already among those immortalized on the monument, your loyalty for also being an Omega pilot on 6 May 2023 will be additionally honored with a prestigious titan chevron icon on the monument. Also for those already on the monument, you will be given the opportunity to choose which character to use for engraving in case there is a different character you have that has more Skill Points now than 10 years ago.
The expanded monument will be revealed at Fanfest 2023, with all tiles on the current monument renewed, along with an updated webpage that’ll allow you to zero in on the coordinates of the tile containing your legacy.
The fun doesn’t end there, though, as May will be filled with celebrations. Join the Capsuleer Day event starting on 2 May filled with unexpected twists and turns and exclusive anniversary themed rewards that can only be claimed by logging in as they will be soulbound, the stunning reveal of The Fabric of New Eden Mosaic and join us for a jaw-dropping fireworks show at Jita 4-4 on 6 May.
Don’t miss your chance to etch your legacy in history and celebrate 20 unforgettable years of EVE Online.
Become Imortalised in the 20th-anniversary Celebrations!
Capsuleers, the time has come to start celebrating!
As part of EVE Online’s 20th-anniversary celebrations, we want to pay tribute to the EVE community and its capsuleers by composing an amazing mosaic! The characters you have created, the stories you have lived, and the communities you have built form the fabric of New Eden and the universe which players enjoy today. Starting today you all have the opportunity to add your character portrait to the mosaic, whether you are an Alpha or Omega capsuleer.
To immortalize your character on the mosaic, you will need to log into EVE Online and complete three daily challenges between 2 March and 22 March. These challenges will alternate between the Skilling Spree, Mining Blitz, and Skillers in the Abyss. The opportunity to add your avatar to this historic tapestry is not to be missed and will be a piece of cake for a capsuleer! Those of you that successfully complete the challenges and qualify for the mosaic will receive an email confirmation within a few days, but make sure you are subscribed to the email list to see it.
Inspired by the stellar works of Chribba and Razorien, the mosaic kicks off the 20th-anniversary celebrations. With the mosaic due to be revealed in May, you will be able to find your character portrait on the mosaic online, as well seeing it in its full glory at EVE Fanfest 2023.
This is just the beginning, with many more special moments yet to come such as celebrating capsuleers’ impact on New Eden, Capsuleer Day in May, Fanfest 2023 – which promises to be the birthday bash of the century – and even more throughout the year.
See you in space, on the mosaic, and at Fanfest 2023!

February Update from CCP, Specially Copy/Pasted for you! <3
Original post can be read here. 2023-02-14 – By EVE Online Team
Attention, capsuleers!
EVE Online continues to evolve and invest in the day-to-day experience of its players and its technological foundations to stay on course for a successful third decade in New Eden. This now includes the full rollout of the sparkling new Photon UI, as well as improvements to the multiple overview feature, Tranquility server hardware upgrades, and more!
Also evolving are the fortunes of New Eden’s great empires and EVE Online’s events, moving more purposefully towards a narrative-driven schedule instead of the previously established annual calendar of in-game events. This will be informed by the roadmap for upcoming happenings in EVE, first introduced in the Producer’s Letter.
EVOLVE AND PROSPER
EVE’s user interface has evolved in collaboration with the EVE community, and the anticipated full rollout of Photon UI is here. With an overwhelming 94% adoption among players of the awesome Photon UI which offers a better experience for EVE players, the time was right to make it the default and only UI available.
A single, unified design style streamlines usability, improves learning, and reduces cognitive overload. Removing the old UI will enable faster feature iteration than ever before, and more frequent, easier implementation of updates. There will also be opportunities for new and cool features such as micro widgets to be implemented that would have been impossible with the old code.
Today’s update also allows you to toggle the default state of all compactable windows with a single checkbox, making it much easier to turn on Compact Mode in Photon UI by default for all windows that have that functionality.
In addition, the multiple overview feature has come out of beta and is now standard, with the maximum number of overview tabs increased! There is also now grouping available for overview presets, with added descriptions for the default filters to give players a better idea about each one’s purpose.
Features such as Compact Mode for Photon UI and multiple overviews allow for greater customizability, giving you the ability to tailor it to your specific playstyle. The improvements aren’t done, either, as the interface will continue to evolve and improve, so thanks to all capsuleers for their support and feedback thus far!
Further changes in Photon UI include your wallet balance now being added to the market window, updates to the docking/undocking animated notification, tweaks to item selection highlighting, and more! You can read the patch notes for more details.
Also, as part of the EVE Evolved initiative, the Tranquility live server has undergone some hardware upgrades, adding to the ongoing evolution and investment in EVE’s technical foundations. Stay tuned for a dev blog containing more details in the near future.
AN EVENTFUL FUTURE
EVE’s established calendar of events is also in the process of evolution, sparked by last year’s Uprising expansion as a major step towards regular narrative-driven content updates. As forces gather, tensions mount, and events unfold within New Eden between the four great empires, the exciting roadmap for EVE has a series of thrilling in-game events lined up to get stuck into. Having already gotten off to a strong start in 2023, you can also look forward to more new features, expansions, and huge celebrations throughout the year – including what promises to be an amazing 20th anniversary for EVE Online!
Keep your eyes to the stars as very soon a new narrative arc-related factional campaign will go live in-game pitting the Amarr, Minmatar, Caldari, and Gallente against each other in a tech race that will have seismic implications on the landscape of New Eden. This will set the tone for a year in EVE where some of the events you have come to expect at certain times of year will be replaced by arc-focused events. But don’t worry, instead of attending the Guardian’s Gala, the Angel Cartel have had more pressing matters to attend to. Their shift in focus will play out soon enough!
SINGULARITY OF VISION
In preparation for the upcoming events, and as indicated in the roadmap, you will soon be able to check out the new Direct Enlistment feature on the Singularity test server. This will allow capsuleers to participate in Factional Warfare on behalf of any empire they choose without having to leave their current corporation or alliance to join a militia.
This feature will be rolled out on Tranquility later this quarter, so go ahead and test it out!
FROM THE DIVINE TO THE METICULOUS – EVE STORE OFFERS
With so much on the horizon, now is the time to get prepared and look your best! The brand-new Divinity Pack in the EVE Store is perfect for fresh capsuleers, featuring 1 month of Omega for access to EVE’s best ships and skills, 250 PLEX to sell for ISK or spend in the New Eden Store, 150,000 Skill Points and a standard cerebral accelerator to boost your skill training goals. You’ll also get the stunning Heartsurge SKINs for the Keres and Hyena, plus Men’s and Women’s Obsidian Opulence Jacket character apparel.
Furthermore, the Heart-Shape Pack offers even more opportunity to flex and flaunt, with MCT, 1000 PLEX, 500,000 Skill Points, specialist cerebral accelerator, Heartsurge SKINs for the Kronos, Vargur, Phobos, and Broadsword, plus Men’s and Women’s Obsidian Opulence Jackets and Pants.
Both packs are available until 23 February and can only be purchased once per account.
DESIRE FOR DESTRUCTION – NES OFFERS
You can also lay your affections on two new bundles in EVE’s in-game New Eden Store! The Destructive Surge Bundle features Heartsurge SKINs for the Catalyst Navy Issue, Coercer Navy Issue, Cormorant Navy Issue, and Thrasher Fleet Issue, while the Dreadnought Desire Bundle features Heartsurge SKINs for the Moros Navy Issue, Naglfar Fleet Issue, Phoenix Navy Issue, and Revelation Navy Issue. Both are available only until 23 February, so don’t miss this popular SKIN’s first outing on the new navy ships!
With the player experience constantly evolving and improving, plus captivating narrative-driven events and features on the horizon, EVE’s exciting journey through its 2023 roadmap continues unabated towards forever! Don’t miss a beat and keep your eyes on happenings in-game, as well as upcoming features to test on Singularity, news of the next factional campaign, and be a part of the grand celebrations for EVE’s 20th birthday!
The newest narrative-driven expansion, Uprising, introduced new ships to command, the ability to proudly fly your colors with corporation and alliance emblems, a clear path to the warzone, immersive new Upwell hangars, and a series of Factional Warfare changes that usher in the future of war in New Eden. Just a week later, the Uprising continues with the latest update live today, which brings even more fresh content and refinements to EVE.
As of today, you and your fellow pilots now have access to the thrilling world of Factional Warfare battlefields, offering even more Uprising content to sink your teeth into. These new battlefields give pilots yet another way to embrace a distinct blend of action-packed combat.
HOW IT WORKS
The Factional Warfare battlefields let two teams battle it out over specified areas and will spawn across the cluster, with new openings appearing in The Agency and via the Factional Warfare interface. Use an Acceleration Gate to journey to the selected area, and you can join your wingmen to fight to control areas, defend bases, and battle for score through a ‘tug-of-war’ point-stealing mechanic.
Battlefields in Factional Warfare promise to bring EVE Online some of its most dynamic, energetic combat yet to be seen. And when one battlefield closes another spawns elsewhere, meaning there will always be more action to chase down.
EVEN MORE IN UPRISING
Aside from that, there are a series of other updates and refinements as part of the Uprising expansion you can read more about in today’s Patch Notes. You can be sure there’s more to come, as New Eden’s future is an exciting place with plenty in store.
For those who want a peek behind the curtain into all the love that went into Uprising, check out these development interviews:
Awesome New Details Taken Directly From EVEONLINE.COM
Battle-ready capsuleers,
The universe never stands still, and EVE Online’s first narrative arc has already been building tension between the empires. Now, the stage is set to bring about an intense, thrilling future in New Eden. The time to choose your battle, fly your colors, and reap the greatest rewards that victory and loyalty can offer draws near!
Uprising is a brand-new narrative-driven expansion for EVE Online launching in November, ushering in major improvements to Factional Warfare (FW), introducing a suite of new ships in addition to a plethora of balance changes to existing ships, corporation and alliance logos on your vessels as part of the introduction to heraldry, new visually immersive hangars, and more.
To see the original eveonline.com information release, click here.
The first narrative arc has already begun with the discovery of an abandoned EDENCOM structure after its cloak began failing over a storm planet in the system of Athounon. Capsuleers have also found mysterious construction sites across space, with some believing these to be stellar harvesters and stargates being independently constructed by the empires, leaving the tenuous peace between them at risk.
Keep your eyes open as the narrative arc progresses, and be sure to take part as the story unfolds. Your involvement will help shape New Eden by revealing fresh features to help in future battles, including brand-new ships in-game, some of which will be unveiled much sooner than others. The introduction of these new ships will increase the diversity of tools available to a wide array of capsuleers, from those just starting their journey to more established veterans, while bringing some serious visual intimidation to the battlefield!
The Uprising expansion brings many significant changes to Factional Warfare some of which are outlined in the State of the Union news item including a complete rework of complexes, and a new advantage functionality that allows you to give your chosen Faction an edge in FW.
This part of the expansion aims to evolve Factional Warfare into a more intense and exciting combat playstyle for FW enthusiasts. There will be more incentives to support and fight for your favorite Empire, a wider array of opportunities to contribute to the war effort across the warzone, and new events will be introduced creating more possibilities for empires to issue campaign objectives to those who enlist.
This is only the beginning! There are even more exciting improvements following this expansion that will help open the gates even further to Factional Warfare in EVE, with a significant update that includes factional allegiance, targeted for Q1 of 2023. This will allow players to aid a Faction in FW irrespective of corporation or alliance.
A phased rollout of Factional Warfare improvements enables us to observe how players in the current FW ecosystem interact with the features without tipping the scales too drastically too quickly. Allegiance is a focus to address, as we know many capsuleers are excited about Factional Warfare and are eager to get involved.
For those pilots not currently enlisted in FW, there will still be plenty for you to do across the warzone, roles to perform, stories to partake in, and amazing rewards to earn.
Furthermore, the new Frontlines in Factional Warfare will draw pilots closer to the borders of their opponents and present new rewarding challenges that focus capsuleer efforts towards key, emerging conflict hot spots where empire history will be written!
Alongside this big shake up of combat strategy, opportunities to earn rewards that unlock Heraldry on ships will be made available. Corporation and alliance logos on ships will act as the introduction to Heraldry, with many more customization options on the horizon following this initial launch such as citadel SKINs and holograms on ships.
If that wasn’t enough, there will be massive enhancements to Upwell hangars that will ramp up the visual immersion while docking and undocking in New Eden. The special attention put into this visual upgrade helps ensure that when you undock from your new hangar, you’ll still get out into space at a speed that is on par with other structures in the game. What better way to admire those fantastic alliance logos and new ships than in a beautiful new hangar?
From now until the release of Uprising in November, there will be a steady stream of updates and content as shown in the roadmap below, while the narrative arc will also continue to advance the story in-game. Our goal moving forward is to unveil more of our roadmap to the community as time progresses. Stay alert, keep your eyes to the stars, your warp drive ready, and your ammo loaded.
The time is quickly approaching for capsuleers across the cluster to rise up, unite under their banners, storm the frontlines, and do it in style!
Important: Theses packs are only available from 11 August to 8 September, from the EVE Store.
Eveonline.com has now launched in Korean, elevating the EVE experience for all Korean-speaking players; and growing the community for pilots globally.
Going forward the EVE Store, EVE Academy and EVE News will all be available in Korean. Meaning the full suite of supporting content is now translated. What’s more, the AIR Career new player experience now has a Korean language voice over.
The new translation of the EVE Academy and AIR Career program also makes EVE more welcoming for the global Korean speaking audience. Attracting new players is always a plus for all that play EVE, making for a bigger, more vibrant global community.
To celebrate the Korean language update, two new starter packs have also been introduced, bringing players a range of SKINs inspired by Korean culture, and they’re available to all players globally.
The Cosmic Fire Pack lets new pilots light up New Eden with a selection of those SKINs, plus Skill Points, Omega, PLEX, pilot apparel and more. It’s the perfect pack if you want to accelerate your progress and stand out from the crowd. The Ethereal Sky Pack, meanwhile, brings even more of those contents, letting you take your pilot to new places.
Over many weeks the EVE Online and Star Citizen communities have been locked in a contest to see who can design the best in-game ships made from LEGO®.
Now members of the EVE Online Community Team at CCP Games and Cloud Imperium teams will take to a special shared live stream to build at least one of the winning submissions, while fundraising for the amazing children’s hospital charity Extra Life.
The stream, running on 22 July 17:00 UTC, will see the EVE Online Community Developers make the best Star Citizen ship, while our friends at Cloud Imperium tackle constructing spacecraft from EVE Online.
You can also expect more daft challenges and donation-driven community interaction!
On Thursday 9 June at 17:00 UTC, CCP will be conducting a Mass Test on the Singularity server to test several graphical improvements, such as DirectX 12, LOD and texture compression changes.
How to connect to Singularity for this test:
Change the server from Tranquility to Singularity in the bottom right corner of the launcher and log in as normal.
More detailed instructions on connecting to Singularity are available here .
Please refer to this forum post for more information on the testing procedure.
When logged in on Singularity use the command /moveme in any chat window and select the system FD-MLJ from the pop up to be relocated to the testing system.
Your attendance would be most welcome! All participants will receive a small reward of two million skill points on Singularity.
So, if you’re like me and spent a long time doing missions for one faction, like the Gallente Federation, for example, then these missions will likely involve you fighting against NPCs of other factions, such as the Amarr Empire. This results in an increase in reputation for the former and a degredation of the latter… with long-lasting effects on your ability to deal with these factions, or indeed fly through their space, without being shot to shit!
One of my characters, Acesulfame Sorbate, suffers from this problem, as he cannot fly through Amarr systems without being called out for immediate termination. His standings with the Empire are -8.94, but if you add the offset provided by his diplomacy skills, he has an overall effective standing is -5.91. This would not necessarily be a problem, if he didn’t have business in their space.
What is the Solution?
So, I did some research and the only way to help increase his standings, so that he is not shot on sight, and able to utilise level 1 Amarrian mission agents to begin to build on his reputation further, is to undertake one of the time-consuming and long-winded epic storyline arcs. Completion of an Epic Arc gives the reward of immediate increased standings to a faction of your choosing, of between 7 to 8.75%, depending on your “Social” skill level.
The information I am using is from the UNIWIKI, and I’m only covering one of the four main epic storyline arcs (The Blood-Stained Stars); the one Ace has to use to get his reputation with Amarr Empire repaired to above -4.99. This storyline arc does involve travelling into Amarr space for a couple of missions, but is generally safe to do.
Side note: Whilst doing this Epic Arc, I trained the last level of “Diplomacy” to level 5, as it was only four at the time. This reduced my overall standing from Amarr Empire to -5.15, but this was still too low to not be shot on sight! I still needed to do the missions.
There are 51 missions to accomplish. Once you complete the final one, you get a boost to the standings of the faction you choose to assist, in mission 49 of 51 “The Missing Piece“.
It may seem daunting, and yes it takes some time to do, but a lot of the missions are either travelling to other agents or just warping into a deadspace area and observing what’s there. For the reward, the slog is well worth it.
The Missions
The following are the missions and their UNIWIKI description pages:
This mission was undoable with Ace, so I had to bring in my main account (who has good standings with Amarr) and I had him warp to Ace as he entered the site. Ace warped back to station and Cmdr Lox took out the bad guys and hacked the can for the item.
This mission was the same. Ace could not stay in the deadspace area long enough to achieve the objective so my main had to warp in on top of him and do it himself (and pick up the item from the container).
IMPORTANT: It is in this mission that you choose which faction to side with. Pick carefully as this will be the faction for which you will gain considerable reputation with, once the arc is complete. (The whole point of this exercise!)
So this guy is a nightmare to take down. I was in a Sunesis the entire arc, with light missiles and EM drones. Dagan is a shield repper, and you will need to make sure you swap ammo and drones to explosive and still wait forever to finally break him. You could also call out in local for help. I myself went back to help another who was struggling. The reason I didn’t ask myself is because I was concerned whoever showed up may have taken Dagan from the can, thereby messing up my mission!
I cannot reiterate how annoying this arc is, in length and of course maybe having to recruit help when in systems which hate you (if you are between -10 and -5, that is), but I finally finished the arc and my reward was a good boost to my Amarr standings.
My reputation with the Amarr Empire went from a base of -8.94 (-5.15 with skills) up to a new level of -7.29 (-3.83). This is a really good spot to be in, because now I can fly around Amarr space without being labelled a criminal. This still means I only have access to level 1 Amarrian agents, but this is fine with me, I can start to build on that with the right missions.
Words of Warning
If your standings are below -5.0, during the arc, and you need help from someone to avoid getting shot by Empire navies, be cautious about asking in local for a volunteer. They may well be okay and help but you would be an enemy in that system and any other player can tackle and fire on you. That would be a bit shit! Maybe consider asking a corp-mate.
When you have bumped up your reputation with the faction you chose, and you decide to continue to work on it using their mission agents, be careful which other standings you are affecting and by how much. You don’t want to have to do it all over again just to regain rep with another faction!
Good Luck out there, Capsuleer, and Fly Safe!
