New Content
Capital Damage Control
Damage Control for Capital Ships, specially optimized for X-Large hulls. This model of Damage Control can be reused, providing higher resistance when not activated. When activated, the resistance boost is lower than the Basic model, but the activation time is longer.
In addition to the basic model, Amarr and Gallente have also launched their own versions of it:
Basic Capital Damage Control, lasts for 30 seconds. The unactivated resistance bonus is about twice that of Damage Control (note that this is not an Emergency Hull Energizer, and only the Vassago's Damage Control Activation Time bonus will be applicable among all Capital Ships).
Imperial Navy Capital Damage Control. The higher the energy requirements, the stronger the resistance.
Federation Navy Capital Damage Control, with a longer duration and restart time.
How to obtain: Manufacture them based on the blueprints obtained via reverse engineering.

Starbreak Nanocore
The brand new "Starbreak" series Nanocores. Reforge the stars with molten strikes. They can store and convert part of the dissipated energy from combat to repair the system and restore the shield and armor.
The Specialized Mode can be stored 3 times, after enabling:
· Increases its own Shield/Armor Max Limit by 30% and immediately restores Shield/Armor equal to 30% of current Shield/Armor Max Limit.
· Increases all Weapons and Drone Damage by 15%.
Note: The higher value between the ship's Armor and Shield determines whether Armor or Shield will be restored.
How to obtain: Get them from the Store, Interstellar Bazaar, and Region Development events.

New Lightweight Ship
New Assault, Integrated, and Augmented Lightweight Destroyers have been added. Thanks to the new materials, these models of Lightweight Ships have higher overall performance.
Assault. Focuses more on flight velocity, weapon range, and Stasis Webifier than on defense, with slightly lower firepower compared to Offense.
Integrated. Thanks to the addition of new materials and drone components, this model excels in various aspects, such as speed, weapon range, and fire control.
Augmented. Further improved on the basis of the Integrated model, with extremely strong overall performance.
How to obtain:
How to obtain: Assault. Manufacture them based on the blueprints obtained via reverse engineering.
Integrated and Augmented. Manufacture them based on the blueprints obtained from the Loot Crates in Wasteseeker Capital Cosmic Anomalies.

New Rigs
Added rigs for cargo ships and logistic drones.
Navigation Rigs: Mineral Hold Optimization and Structure Hold Optimization (Manufacture them based on the blueprints obtained via reverse engineering)
Drone Rigs: Drone Shield Recharge Stabilizer, Drone Shield Recharge Augmentor, Drone Armor Repair Stabilizer, and Drone Armor Repair Augmentor (Manufacture them based on the blueprints obtained from the Loot Crates in Wasteseeker Capital Cosmic Anomalies)
(These 4 types of Drone Rigs are effective for both Large Logistic Drones and Superheavy Logistic Drones)
