The romance of space and mecha: when the high-octane excitement of Super Mecha collides with the expansive universe of EVE Echoes, an unprecedented collaboration event is about to begin!

Super Mecha Champions Collab Store
Opening Time: July 17, 2024, 08:00 - August 7, 2024, 08:00 (UTC+0)
New items include Super Mecha Champions - Assault Module Shipping Container, Super Mecha Champions - Integrated Module Shipping Container, Super Mecha Champions - Blueprint Shipping Container, Super Mecha Champions - Structure Skin Shipping Container, etc.
General Units Drone Lucky Draw Box, Heavy Fighter - Siege Modification Supply, Fighter Refactoring and Lightweight Ship Refactoring Supply restocked.

Super Mecha Champions Collab Drones/Fighters
Drawing on data from the Super Mecha Champions competition, military corporations from various countries have developed the latest mecha-type drones. These new drones and fighters boast significantly enhanced performance compared to conventional models.
How to obtain: Store purchase, industry manufacture.
During the event, there is a chance to obtain blueprints by purchasing Equipment Transport Crates from the Collab Store, and they also have a chance to drop from Cosmic Anomalies such as Wasteseeker Checkpoints and Wasteseeker Maps.
This collaboration includes 8 types of drones/fighters, each with 3 variants for capsuleers to choose from:
Large Drone - Hurricane
A modified model based on the experimental data of the highly agile combat mecha, using a modified drone rocket system, while still retaining its original advantages in agility and firepower.

Sentry Drone - Pulsar Sentinel
A modified model based on the experimental data of the dual-form combat mecha. The Pulsar in its cannon form possesses high firepower. By compromising its propulsion power to charge the plasma pulse cannon in its transformed form, it deals immense electromagnetic and thermal damage.

Shield Repair Logistic Drone - Caramel Heavy Cannon
This logistic drone is a modified model based on the defensive mecha, equipped with military support AI systems and shield maintenance devices. Its rounded bear head design reflects the designer's preference for a cute style.

Armor Repair Logistic Drone - Bolide
This is a modified model based on the industrial robot, equipped with military support AI systems and armor maintenance devices. In its original design, it could retract its body into a spherical shape to pass through complex environments or slam into obstacles.

Light Space Superiority Fighter - Pulsar Light
The light humanoid form of the Pulsar possesses extreme agility and retains the plasma pulse rifle as its primary weapon, capable of rapidly tracking targets and inflicting electromagnetic and thermal damage.

Light Attack Fighter - Pulsar Heavy
The heavy humanoid form of Pulsar sacrifices some agility in exchange for increased firepower from its plasma pulse rifles. This allows it to track targets more swiftly and deal greater electromagnetic and thermal damage.

Heavy Attack Fighter - Hot Steel
Modified from the experimental data of the heavy combat mecha. Although its heavy armor and massive main weapon grant it excellent defense and formidable firepower, the heavy artillery equipped on its right arm can unleash thermal, kinetic, and explosive damage on targets.

Lightweight Ship - Sky Dome
Modified from the experimental data of the air combat mecha. Equipped with a tailored anti-air high-speed rocket launcher, it can effectively engage aerial targets and has considerable burst firepower.

Super Mecha Champions Collab Structure Skin
It will be available for a limited time in the Collab Store during the event, including three skins: Super Mecha Champions - Jaka, Super Mecha Champions - Joanna, and Super Mecha Champions - Ning, covering both Capsuleer Outposts and Corporation Outposts. The skins will include exterior and interior effects for the structures.
Capsuleers have a chance of obtaining a Capsuleer Outpost Skin Opt Box or a Corporation Outpost Skin Opt Box by purchasing the Super Mecha Champions - Structure Skin Secret Trafficking Container from the store.
Note: After the Corporation Structure Skin is activated, the ownership of the Skin belongs to the Corporation. If the Capsuleer who purchased the Corporation Structure Skin leaves the Corporation, they will lose the authority to use that skin.

Super Mecha Champions Collab Event Encounters
Opening Time: July 17, 2024, 08:00 - August 8, 2024, 0:00 (UTC+0)
