2022-03-22

EVE Echoes will undergo maintenance on 3/23/2022 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 Content
New Item: Lazarus Unit
The Lazarus Unit is a sample made from scanning and analyzing the skill area of the Capsuleer brain. It also used a small amount of DNA extracted from their spinal fluid. Using the unit can increase the quota for resetting skill points.
Special Reminder: In the upcoming April balance patch, CONCORD will send free Lazarus Units to Capsuleers according to their tech level, so don't miss out!

Corporation Recruitment Improvements
Several recruit features were improved to help pilots better recruit for their corporations:
1. Share Corporation
A share button has been added to the Corporation Business Card and Corporation interface. Tap the button to share a templated simple Corporation profile to in-game channels or other apps, along with a QR code for players to scan and find your Corporation.
2. Better Direct Invitation
A new recruit feature has been added to the Corporation Members interface, where Corporation Managers can search for players meeting their needs, and directly send invitations.
*Pilots can disable the feature in settings so their name will not appear in search results.

New Eden Store Updates
1. Added 2 new novice capsuleer supplies to the page, including special ships, exclusive Nanocores, etc.
2. Added Lazarus Unit packs to the page.
