To New Eden Capsuleers,
EVE Echoes will undergo maintenance on 2/26/2025 at 08:00 (UTC+0) and will take approximately 120 minutes to complete. During this time, players will be unable to log in to the game. We kindly ask for your understanding and patience during the maintenance.

New Implant Unit
Three new General Units suitable for Reactive Implants have been added.
Ship shield strength adjustment: Shield +10%. Recovery effects from self and Remote Shield Booster -10%.
Ship armor layering adjustment: Repair effects from self and Remote Armor Repairer +10%. Ship mass -5%. Armor -7.5%.
Ship radar enhancement adjustment: Scan Resolution +15%. Signature Radius +10%.
How to obtain: Obtain from Loot Crates of the new Inquisitor Cosmic Anomaly or through reverse engineering.

Inquisitor Cosmic Anomaly
Added the new Advanced Inquisitor Cosmic Anomaly. The pirate fleet is composed of regular ships of various tonnages, with Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain level enemies.
High-Sec is of regular difficulty (3 levels), while Low-Sec and Null Sec systems are of hard difficulty (5 levels). The lower the security level, the higher the discovery rate.
Currently, there may be two types of Inquisitor Cosmic Anomalies spawning simultaneously. After a while, only the new Advanced Inquisitor Cosmic Anomaly will remain.
Loot:
Faction Modules, Datacores, Neuroreactive Implant Units, Rig Blueprints, Drone Blueprints, Merits, Inquisitor Property (LP)

Notes:
In the new Inquisitor Cosmic Anomaly, the pirate fleet is fully equipped with Mk.IX Weapon Modules. As ranks increase, enemies will start to use Navy Issue and Faction Modules.
As early modules such as Mk.I to Mk.VII are gradually phased out, these early models will be removed from the market and construction systems in the future.

Freighter Update
The base warp speed of freighters has been increased from 1.37AU/s to 1.5AU/s. The maximum capacitor, capacitor recharge time, Signature Radius, Source Radius, and Sensor Strength (5 secondary attributes in total) have been appropriately reduced.
Charon. Flight Velocity +11%. Shield +11%. ST +33%.
Obelisk. Flight Velocity +12%. Armor +9%. ST +25%. Cargo hold increased from 290,000m³ to 310,000m³.
Fenrir. Flight Velocity +23%. ST +26%. Cargo hold increased from 295,000m³ to 300,000m³.
Providence. Flight Velocity +20%. Armor +15%. ST +20%. Cargo hold increased from 290,000m³ to 305,000m³.
Removed the Freighter Engineering skill's powergrid bonus for freighters.
Removed the unique bonus to freighters velocity.

Balance Updates
Venture series ships can now use Small Expedition series Needlejack Filaments.
Due to the immature early attribute design of the Neon Rain series Nanocore, this update has expanded and upgraded some secondary attributes (the attributes already acquired by the Capsuleer will not change). After reset, new attributes can be obtained. For details, please check the Nanocore interface. Subsequent optimizations and upgrades will be gradually carried out for other series of Nanocores.

Permanent Store Update
The Neon Rain series Nanocores are now permanently available, with the base price of the regular tonnage series permanently reduced. The value difference between Faction and non-Faction ship Nanocores will be eliminated in the future, with unified pricing for the same tonnage Nanocores (based on non-Faction ships).
The base price of the regular tonnage Neon Gas series Nanocores is permanently reduced, eliminating the value difference between Faction and non-Faction ship Nanocores.
To offer more ways to obtain some ships, new ships are now permanently available in the store. You can purchase limited-time ship supply draws from events, with a chance to obtain advanced ships including the Versatile Assault Ship, Guardian Dreadnought, and Marshal.

Stellar Clash: Soaring Dragon
The Stellar Clash: Soaring Dragon season will end after maintenance. We have received reports of improper behavior from some Corporations, such as using synchronizers and malicious score farming. Penalties will be imposed during the Public Announcement period, with severe cases resulting in immediate disqualification.

Optimizations
Added 3 new Battle Settings options, allowing you to enable or disable the damage number animations in combat (locking list, screen center, and near the ship model) separately.
Optimized the AI-Assisted Combat feature, which now tries to enable and maintain close-in weapon systems.
Optimized the display content of personal Business Cards, which now shows Rank and Friendly or Hostile relationships.
Optimized the level display of Corporation and Alliance Business Cards, which can now show Diplomatic Relationships.
Optimized the Wallet's filter button, simplifying it and removing some options.
Optimized the display effect of Rank in the Ship Info interface, which can now show the Current Rank.
Optimized the descriptions of the Bombard Tactics module and Siege Tactical module, which now shows Explosion Radius penalties.
Optimized the ship equipment configuration of the CONCORD police squad, which is now fitted with Warp Stabilization Rigs.
Optimized the names of Elite Wasteseekers in Relics Scramble, and their Rank as assessed by each Empire will now be displayed.
Optimized the exit position when leaving Nihilus Space and entering a normal System. It is now the same distance as after entering the Nihilus Well, reducing the chances of being knocked away.

Skin Optimization
Added Station external effects for the Soaring Dragon skin on Corporation Outpost and Capsuleer Outpost.

Bug Fixes

Fixed the issue where there might be no response when repeatedly delivering Corporation Supplies Gathering missions.
Fixed the issue where material info could not be viewed in the Nanocore Upgrade interface.
Fixed the issue where interfaces like Combat Logs might display erroneous text.
Fixed the issue where the Advanced Scanner might fail to scan.
Fixed the issue where the Corporation Management interface might not open after performing the Fortizar Jump in certain cases.
Fixed the issue of erroneous Implant Reset materials and Wasteseeker Combat Test Medal icons.
