Patch Notes 0731

2024-07-30

Dear pilots of New Eden, 
EVE Echoes will undergo maintenance on 7/31/2024 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.  

Balance Adjustments
Added a new "Siege" Tactical Module with a 10-second activation time and a fuel usage of 50GJ that has new bonuses related to drones, with other attributes the same as Siege mode.
All Striker and Navy Issue Battleships (including Dominix Navy Issue). Removed the built-in Siege mode, and gained +1 midslot and a new bonus: Can fit Siege Tactical Modules.
How to obtain: Can be purchased from Jita Market - Tactical Modules - Regular Tactical Modules section.

Corporation Member Number Adjustment
After creating a corporation, the initial number of members has been adjusted from 50 to 200, and will no longer increase with the CEO's skill. The bonuses from Corporation Tech remain unchanged.
The Corporation Management skill has been removed. Capsuleers can reset it without consuming Lazarus Units.
(Known Issue: The Corporation Interface may display a maximum number of people lower than the actual value, but this does not affect the actual maximum number or the application feature. The interface will refresh after upgrading the "Personnel Expansion" Corporation Tech once.)

Market Adjustments
As the infrastructure for market deliveries becomes more sophisticated and the technology matures, all major Empires have opened up delivery permits for all capital ships.
You can now deliver any capital ship within the Empire to a Trading Center that supports delivery.
Deliverable Ships: All capital ships (including freighters and supercarriers)
Departure System: Any station in High-Sec or Low-Sec systems
Destination System: Choose one of the 6 major Low-Sec ITCs
How to Deliver: Repackage your ship and apply for delivery through the station menu.
Delivery Fee (ISK): 500,000,000 + 50,000,000 x Lightyears (Due to the massive volume and mass of Supercarriers, the delivery fee is doubled).

Corporation Tech Preview
With technological advancements, CONCORD plans to soon unlock the follow-up technology to the Enhanced Asteroid Detection Array - Moon Drilling Technology.
Anchor a Moon Drilling Array add-on structure and acquire the Corporation Tech for Moon Drilling to start Moon Drilling. After successful drilling, Ubiquitous Moon Asteroid Belts will be generated, allowing you to organize large-scale mining fleets for harvesting. Reprocessing Moon Ore can yield some Planetary Resources and new materials.
You need to reach Corporation Level 6 (Sanctum level) to upgrade this technology. Capsuleers can choose to prepare in advance or wait for the update and decide whether to upgrade based on the actual case.
(Hint: As it can only be used as an Advanced Corporation, this is just a preview, and it is not available yet.)

Optimizations
The Precision Guidance Theory skill has been adjusted to Explosion Radius -10%/-10%/-10%, aiming to simply the concept, and the bonus effect remains mostly the same as before the adjustment.
The Target Navigation Prediction skill has been adjusted to Explosion Velocity +10%/+12.5%/+15%, aiming to simply the concept, and the bonus effect remains mostly the same as before the adjustment.
Aeon Ship. Changed the bonus from Weapon Stability +5% to Explosion Radius -5%, aiming to simply the concept, and the bonus effect remains mostly the same as before the adjustment.
Since fighters always orbit the target at normal flight velocity, Orbit Velocity is no longer shown in their attribute descriptions.
The maximum number of saved locations after using the Wave Graph has been increased from 2 to 5, and the automatic location deletion time has been increased from a few seconds to 10 minutes.
Added the description "Not supported by insurance claims" for Capital Emergency Hull Energizer.
Module attributes will now show mathematical operators other than the minus sign, such as +35% and *80%, to improve readability. This may cause some module display values to change, but the actual values remain unchanged.
Optimized the prompt description for the Corporation Hangar (Note: Contents in the Corporation Hangar will be dropped or destroyed if the Corporation Outpost is destroyed or occupied, please retrieve the contents from the hangar promptly.)
After opening 120 Secret Trafficking Containers, you are guaranteed to receive a Death Wish Series Core Opt Supply.
