Patch Notes 0702

2024-07-02

Dear pilots of New Eden, 
EVE Echoes will undergo maintenance on 7/3/2024 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.  
 
Corporation Outpost Operations
Capsuleers can now operate Corporation Outposts and Corporation Citadels to participate in defensive operations.
After obtaining the combat authorization for the Citadel, tap the control button in the station interface to operate the Corporation Outpost. The operation method is the same as the Capsuleer Outpost.
This authorization can be granted to multiple members, but only one can control the Citadel at a time. The new operator will replace the previous one.
Compared to Capsuleer Outposts, Corporation Outposts and Corporation Citadels have stronger power output, with better locking and combat capabilities.

Enhanced Structure Modules
Developed based on Standard Structure Modules, they are suitable for Corporation Outpost fittings and include a total of 3 types of missiles and 3 types of electronic warfare equipment.
The powergrid requirement for Enhanced Structure Modules is much greater than that of the Standard type. Correspondingly, their firepower, strength, and range are significantly increased.
How to obtain: Manufacture them based on the blueprints purchased from the market.

New Spatial Rift Filaments
Added "Homeward-1" Spatial Rift Filament III. The special structure of this filament allows it to bypass cargo hold restrictions, enabling the use of the "Expedition" series filaments to enter the Kalevala Expanse even when it is stored in the cargo hold.
This new type of filament can capture the signal fluctuations from the last traversal through a spatial rift, allowing the precise return to the departure system after use. However, it takes longer to construct the route compared to ordinary models.
How to obtain: Buy directly from the market.

Balance Adjustments
Loot Crates in the Kalevala Expanse will no longer drop "Expedition" series filaments. Common models can now be purchased from the market.
In all regions controlled by Drone factions, other pirate factions' Nihilus Space sub-routes will no longer spawn.
If a Capsuleer's ISK balance is negative, they will not be able to accept Encounter missions.
For Capital Remote Repair Module, the large materials of its reprocessed products have been adjusted to extra large materials.
The max limit for anchoring similar Corporation affiliated structures has been increased to 25.

CONCORD Pass
Pass Start Time: UTC +0 July 1, 2024 00:00:00 - July 29, 2024 00:00:00
CONCORD Pass will start on July 1, 2024.

Optimizations
Valuation updated based on the market transaction record
Materials such as computing units will now show their reprocessing sources.
Reduced the maximum wait time for frequent speaking in the Novice, Alliance, and other similar channels.
Optimized drone's damage display. On certain interfaces, it will now show the value after bonuses.
Added the usage authority for Cloak Jammer Towers, which no longer requires the citadel management authority.
Wasteseeker Checkpoint that may spawn Quietus Carriers are now renamed as "Wasteseeker Capital Checkpoint."
Updated the icon for Signal Amplifier.
Volume information is now displayed in the interface for nearly all equipment.
