To New Eden Capsuleers, 
    We will apply a hotfix update on 2025/3/5 at 08:00 (UTC+0). Capsuleers can continue playing as normal without any disruptions. 

Alliance Update Preview
After the updates on the diplomatic entity cap and the Diplomacy Sustention Fee, the phenomenon of "Alliance Monopoly" in the entire universe has been alleviated. We have noticed that some Corporations have chosen to merge while others have opted to recruit new members. Overall, the number of Capsuleers joining Corporations in the entire universe has increased, and thus, we will continue with further optimization as planned.
"According to the assessment, given the current situation in New Eden, the most interesting and dynamic Alliance size is 10-15 Corporations, with a maximum limit of 200 members per Corporation. Currently, the number of Alliances in the entire universe with 21-30 member Corporations has dropped to fewer than five, and the member Corporations of all other Alliances have been reduced to below 20.
The upcoming relevant updates are as follows:
1. Alliance Member Size Fee
The Sustention Fee (ISK) is dynamically determined by the maximum number of member Corps in the Alliance within 7 days:
(1-15 Corps: Fee remains unchanged)
16-20 Members: Increased from Number of Corps x 100 Million to Number of Corps x 300 Million
21-25 Members: Increased from Number of Corps x 300 Million to Number of Corps x 1 Billion
26-30 Members: Increased from Number of Corps x 500 Million to Number of Corps x 2 Billion
Please note that the Alliance Sustention Fee is based on the Alliance size from the previous week. Therefore, if you plan to no longer maintain a super Alliance with more than 21 Corps, you need to split the Alliance or establish a Sub-Alliance in advance.

2. Corporation Diplomacy
Currently, when a Corporation has not joined an Alliance, it can establish diplomatic relations with other Alliances, and these relations remain effective after joining.
After the adjustment, if a Corporation joins an Alliance, the diplomatic relations between the Corporation and other Alliances will become invalid, and the diplomatic relations between Alliances will take precedence.
This does not affect the diplomatic relations between Corporations and other Corporations. In the future, we will evaluate whether to reduce the number of diplomatic relations that "Corporations joining an Alliance" can establish with other Corporations.

3. Ship Construction Cost
With the development of New Eden's Construction technology, more advanced Capital Ship Components Manufacturing Skills will be unlocked, further reducing the cost of manufacturing Capital Ships.
For some of the modules and drones with higher tech levels the manufacturing material requirements will also be gradually reduced slightly as technology matures.
We have also noticed that some low-tier modules and rigs are severely oversupplied. After reducing costs, we will optimize the insurance mechanism to boost the demand for low-tier items and reduce the burden of piloting Advanced Ships.
