Patch Notes for 2026-09-22.1

Cradle of War Major Update

Features & Changes:

Force Projection and Ansiblex Jump Bridges:

Major changes have been made to Ansiblex Jump Bridges. Full information can be found in the Force Projection dev blog.

Ansiblex Jump Bridges now use capacitor, with a total capacity of 1250 TJ.
- Average recharge equivalent: ~200 TJ every 60 minutes.
- Total recharge time from 0: ~6.25 hours.
- The Ansiblex capacitor uses the same non-linear recharge model as ship capacitor.
- The Ansiblex capacitor is not affected by remote capacitor transmitters or energy neutralizers.
Each ship class now has a capacitor cost, ranging from 1.00 TJ for capsules, shuttles, haulers and freighters up to 19.00 TJ for Marauders and Rorquals. Full per-class values can be found in the Force Projection dev blog.
Ansiblex capacitor cost is calculated from the distance between the endpoint of the jump and the owning alliance's capital system, divided into five zones:
- Zone 1 — 0 to 5 LY from the capital system: 0x multiplier (free).
- Zone 2 — 5.1 to 10 LY: 2x multiplier.
- Zone 3 — 10.1 to 15 LY: 6x multiplier.
- Zone 4 — 15.1 to 20 LY: 9x multiplier.
- Zone 5 — 20.1 LY and beyond: 15x multiplier.
- Because cost is based on the endpoint, jumps back toward the capital system cost considerably less than jumps away from it.
Removed the ability for Access Control Lists (ACLs) to grant Ansiblex Jump Bridge access to pilots outside the owning alliance.
- ACLs can still limit who within the owning alliance can use an Ansiblex. This allows alliances to restrict access to Ansiblex Jump Bridges that they want to reserve for strategic operations or limit for any other reason.
- Restricted Ansiblex use to capsuleers in the alliance that currently holds sovereignty over the system containing the starting point of the jump.
Removed the ability for capitals to use an Ansiblex Jump Bridge.
- Rorquals, Freighters, and Jump Freighters can still use Ansiblex Jump Bridges.
Reduced the total number of Tenebrex Cyno Jammers per system to 1, down from 3.

Factional Warfare & Insurgencies:

Insurgencies:

Reduced the armor reinforcement timer for the Insurgency Forward Operating Base (FOB) to 3 hours, down from 24 hours.
Reduced the Insurgency FOB armor timer variance to 1 hour, down from 3 hours.
- This means the Insurgency FOB now rolls a timer between 2 and 4 hours when reinforced.
Reduced Insurgency length to 7 days, down from 14 days.
Increased the Insurgency forecasting period to 48 hours, up from 24 hours.
Reduced the maximum ambition modifier to 5, down from 15.
- This means that at maximum ambition, a side must win 10 systems, down from 20.
Reduced the corruption level at which Insurgencies spread to 3, down from 4.
Increased the maximum contribution LP payout for winning to 1,500,000 LP, up from 464,300 LP.
Increased the contribution payout multiplier for winning to 1x, up from 0.75x.
Reduced the contribution payout multiplier for losing to 0.4x, down from 0.5x.
Increased the personal corruption or suppression needed for maximum contribution payout to 45%, up from 15%.
Reduced the Ice Heist LP payout to 150,000 LP, down from 160,000 LP (the same as Factional Warfare (FW) Battlefield sites).
Increased the Ice Heist respawn time to 4 hours, up from 3 hours (the same as FW Battlefield sites).
Changed Ice Heists and Battlefields to persist their respawn times across downtime.
Made the Ice Heist tanker immune to stasis webifiers.
Changed Mining Ambush ADV-10 to Mining Ambush ADV-5, which now scales rewards up to 5 players. No other changes have been made to the site for now.
Added a new site, the Moderate ADV-3, an Insurgency variant of the Moderate NVY-3 complex found in FW.
- Spawns at stage 2.
- Static complex.
- 60-minute respawn (90-minute respawn in stage 5).
- Generates 52,500 LP.
- Creates 1.5% corruption or suppression.
- Grants a 20% bonus to Battlecruiser per-level skill bonuses, as the FW Moderate does. (Note: this does not apply to bonuses from the Command Ships or Expedition Command Ships skills.)
Increased the corruption and suppression generated by Small ADV-1 and Small ADV-2 sites to 0.25%, up from 0.2%.
Increased the corruption and suppression generated by Medium ADV-1 and Medium ADV-3 sites to 0.5%, up from 0.4%.
Reduced the respawn time of Small ADV-1 and Medium ADV-1 complexes to 15 minutes, down from 20 minutes.
Changed the Large ADV-1 complex to a static complex with a 40-minute respawn. The same number will spawn per day, but they are now more reliable for pushing corruption or suppression in specific systems.
Reduced the respawn times of multi-player payout sites in stage 5 corruption/suppression systems.
- The LP earned per hour should be roughly the same once the Moderate ADV-3 site is included.

We're making several adjustments to Insurgencies, turning them into more of a chaotic race where both sides look to win instead of focusing solely on maximizing the payout from the sites themselves.
To that end, we're redistributing some of the value from the individual sites into the overall reward for winning the Insurgency, while also making changes to the Insurgency mechanics themselves. At maximum contribution, players will now earn more than 4x as much LP as before from the final payout. Additionally, since the 1-character sites generate the same amount of corruption and suppression as the multi-player sites, solo players and smaller groups will see larger amounts of LP if their side wins.
For the Insurgencies themselves, we're reducing the maximum length from 14 days to 7, reducing the ambition modifier from 15 to 5, and increasing the corruption and suppression generation of Small and Medium sites by 25%. Further, we're making the Large ADV-1 site static for groups that want more agency over the Insurgency's spread. Lastly, we're adjusting the FOB reinforcement timer, reducing it from 24 hours to 2 to 4 hours. We've seen players effectively prolong the Insurgency by self-reinforcing their FOB and then letting it repair, trying to hold the Insurgency in stasis while earning rewards. An incredibly clever tactic, for sure, but one that reduces gameplay options.
With a tighter timeline, backstabbing your own allies now carries a higher cost and may cause the Insurgency to time out. Overall: more agency, more content, and a renewed reason to fight.

Factional Warfare:

Changed all frigate and destroyer NPCs found in Scout and Small FW complexes to drop tags rather than midshipman insignias.
- These tags are used in FW LP store offers for frigate-sized ships and modules. The midshipman tags were previously only sold for ISK.
Removed the Small Interceptor-1 complex.
Added a new Small AF-1 complex.
- Only allows Assault Frigates to enter.
- New Assault Frigate NPCs spawn here, with a rare chance to drop military campaign boosters and Penumbral Shadows SKINs.
- Static complex in Command Ops systems with a 40-minute respawn time.
- Roaming complex in frontline systems with a 20-minute respawn time.
- 25,000 LP Base (37,500 LP in a Frontline).
- 150 Victory Points.
- Be warned: all NPCs in this complex will have warp disruptors fitted!

Pochven:

Reduced the optimal fleet size for Observatory Flashpoints to 12, down from 15.
- The per-pilot payout is unchanged.
- This results in a 20% reduction in total payout value.
- The amount of EDENCOM Data from the structure is unchanged.
Increased the optimal fleet size for Vigilance Points to 12, up from 10.
- The per-pilot payout is unchanged.
- This results in a 20% increase in total payout value.
- The amount of Vigilance Point Data loot from the structure and officer NPCs is unchanged.
Doubled the damage that Stirring NPCs in Vigilance Point sites deal to drones.

Both the Observatory Flashpoint and Vigilance Point sites had a mismatch between their difficulty and reward, though coming from opposite directions.
Decreasing the optimal fleet size for an Observatory Flashpoint will increase the overall per-pilot ISK reward while increasing the challenge for those who don’t overfill the site.
Increasing the optimal fleet size for Vigilance Points should open the site up for a broader range of fleet comps and help bring the site’s value more in-line with other content. To offset the increased viability of drone boats, the anti-drone Stirring NPCs will deal more damage when attacking drones.

Increased the number of roaming NPC fleets within the region.
Improved the AI used by roaming NPCs that were not spawned by a wormhole.
Extra-Pochven wormholes have been changed:
- Reduced the time between phases to 30 minutes, down from 60 minutes
- Increased the warp-in point to 75 km from the wormhole.
- Added new "scout" roaming NPCs that spawn when the wormhole is first warped to.
- Changed roaming NPCs to linger for a time after their corresponding wormhole has closed.

Several changes have been made to increase the amount of roaming NPCs found in the region. These NPCs are a unique part of Pochven, with players able to join in with large NPC battles or lurk and wait to salvage.

Intra-Pochven wormholes have been buffed:
- Increased the base mass stability of these wormholes to 750,000,000 kg, up from 100,000,000 kg.
- Increased the base lifetime of these wormholes to 12 hours, up from 4.5 hours.

The initial version of intra-Pochven wormholes were both too temporary and too mass limited for groups to make good use of. They have been buffed significantly to encourage locating and securing these backdoor paths in the region.

Wormholes:

C1-C3 Combat Sites:

Each site has been given a full visual upgrade.
Replaced many Large Collidable Objects with Non-Interactable Objects to reduce overview clutter.
NPCs have had their AI updated:
- NPCs will now split their targeting (both damage and EWAR) between different capsuleers.
- NPCs will no longer attack drones.
- NPCs will make better use of microwarpdrives.
- NPCs will more intelligently orbit and warp around a site.
Objectives have been added to the Info Panel to show progress within the site.
The pop-ups that appeared when warping to a site have been replaced with one-off Aura transmissions.
Changed Unsecured Frontier Receiver sites so that capsuleers must destroy, rather than simply attack, the Sleepless Defender to spawn the fourth wave.

These sites are some of the first content a player may come across when exploring wormholes. As such, we wanted to update the visual fidelity of the site, while modernizing them to be more similar to other anomalies and complexes. The new NPCs should be a bit less clunky to interact with, and behave more like those found in more recent content and in event sites.

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

Decreased the drop rate of hybrid drones by 50%.
Increased the amount of Fabricator data by wormhole class:
- C1-C3: 33% increase.
- C4: 25% increase.
- C5/C6: 20% increase.
Added new LP store offers within Pochven that accept Fabricator data in exchange for exclusive items:
- Hybrid Drone Specialization skill book:
  - Increases Hybrid Drone damage by 3% per level.
- Radical Drone Link Augmentor Mutaplasmid:
  - -30% / +50% CPU.
  - ±20% Drone Control Range bonus.
- Radical Drone Navigation Computer Mutaplasmid:
  - -30% / +50% CPU.
  - ±20% Drone/Fighter Speed bonus.
- Radical Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancer Mutaplasmid and Radical Omnidirectional Tracking Link Mutaplasmid:
  - -30% / +50% CPU.
  - ±20% Drone/Fighter Falloff bonus
  - ±20% Drone/Fighter Optimal Range bonus.
  - ±10% Drone/Fighter Tracking Speed bonus.
  - ±10% Fighter Explosion Velocity bonus.
  - ±10% Fighter Explosion Radius bonus.
- Each offer is available at all stations owned by the Triglavian Collective.

The value of Hybrid Drones dropped significantly from when the site was first introduced. As such, the ratio between Hybrid Drone value and Fabricator Data value has been adjusted. A larger portion of the overall value was focused in Hybrid Drones for low class sites, so their Fabricator Data increase reflects this.
New outlets for the Fabricator Data have been added to give those running the site an alternative to raw ISK. The new mutaplasmids offer the potential for powerful Abyssal modules, while the skill book lets players specialize with the versatile Hybrid Drones.

Increased the range at which NPCs warp to and engage ships.
Made NPCs immune to warp disruption.
Reduced the damage Interdictors take from NPCs to 20% of normal.

A common tactic for running the site had players position outside the Fabricator’s range while keeping a few tanky ships within to keep the site alive. To keep the site more engaging, NPCs will now travel much further beyond the stability range to attack their foes. This goes hand-in-hand with the Interdictor damage scaling to help encourage contesting these sites.

The time between waves now scales based on the previous wave's difficulty tier:
- Low: 18 seconds.
- Moderate: 15 seconds.
- Severe: 12 seconds.
- Critical: 6 seconds.
Prior to wave 5, the time between waves will always be 6 seconds.

The time between waves was a frequent pain point for players. The time is intended to allow enough time to end the site, but it did not adjust based on the relative power of the present ships. Now, players can spend less time waiting and more time shooting!

The transmission that appears when destroying the Fabricator before wave 100 will not show in subsequent sites.
Changed Info Panel objectives to remain visible after the Fabricator is destroyed.
Changed the Duration timer to begin only after wave 5 has started.
Added dedicated Market sections for Hybrid Drones.

- Increased Shield Thermal resistance to 40%, up from 30%.
- Increased Armor EM resistance to 80%, up from 70%.
- Increased Armor Thermal resistance to 50%, up from 43.125%.

Marauders & Black Ops:

A few years ago, the mass of Marauders and Black Ops ships was increased to make them less efficient in wormholes. After several balance passes to both Marauders and Black Ops, and new content added to wormhole space, we’re reducing the mass values of all Marauder & Back Ops Battleships as follows:

Note: Inertia Modifier values have been scaled to maintain align times.

Kronos: 118.4 million kg, down from 148 million kg.
Vargur: 120 million kg, down from 150 million kg.
Paladin: 128 million kg, down from 160 million kg.
Golem: 125.6 million kg, down from 157 million kg.
Babaroga: 114.4 million kg, down from 143 million kg.
Marshal: 112.5 million kg, down from 150 million kg.
Panther: 111.6 million kg, down from 148.8 million kg.
Python: 106.3 million kg, down from 141.7 million kg.
Redeemer: 112.7 million kg, down from 150.3 million kg.
Sin: 106.3 million kg, down from 141.7 million kg.
Widow: 113.3 million kg, down from 151.1 million kg.

Babaroga:

Reduced the number of Zero-Point Field Manipulators used to manufacture the ship to 4,800, down from 6,666.
Reduced the number of Zero-Point Field Manipulators received when reprocessing the ship to 2,400, down from 6,666.
- These values are still divisible by 3.

Miscellaneous:

Vigilant:
- Increased the Medium Hybrid Turret falloff bonus per level of Gallente Cruiser to 15%, up from 10%.
Phobos:
- Increased the Medium Hybrid Turret optimal range bonus per level of Heavy Interdiction Cruisers to 15%, up from 10%.

Skills:

New characters are now created with additional skills injected at level 0 covering the ships and weapons of the other three races.
The total number of Skill Points granted at character creation is unchanged. New players will no longer need to purchase the racial Frigate, Industrial, and Small Turret skills before branching out into other races' ships.

Balancing:

Increased the cost of declaring war on a corporation or an alliance to 500,000,000 ISK, up from 100,000,000 ISK.
- Existing bills remain at 100,000,000 ISK; any new bills issued and any new wars use the updated cost.

We’re not completely happy with highsec wars and want to create more breathing room for smaller corporations and to somewhat discourage ‘carpet bombing’ of war declarations. The cost of declaring war has not changed in a very long time. In early 2019, The formula was simplified and was set to the previous average price, which itself had not changed in almost two decades https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/war-war-sometimes-changes.
This new cost should still leave some cost recovery possible from destroying structures (Astrahus Quantum Cores are worth 600,000,000 ISK), but it will cut down on the profit to be made from knocking down a corporation's first Athanor, and make issuing a large number of war declarations more costly, encouraging war groups to better select their targets.

User Interface:

Achievements:

Improved the Achievements UI to make progress and milestones easier to follow.
Updated achievement card hover and expanded states to provide a clearer overview of milestone requirements and progress.
Updated the Achievements info panel to bring tracking more in line with AIR Opportunities.
Increased the maximum number of achievements capsuleers can track simultaneously to 5, with improved visibility of progress and upcoming milestones.

Miscellaneous:

Added YC128 Shifting-Spacetime Crate.
- There are 20 items in total, with a 5% chance for a specific item to drop and each are weighted equally.
- 500 PLEX
- Cerberus Yoiul Festival YC121 SKIN
- Sacrilege Unbridled Glory SKIN
- Deimos Presidential Agent SKIN
- Eagle Zento Isideko Combine SKIN
- Harpy Empyrean Outlaws SKIN
- Hawk Kimotoro Eskeitan SKIN
- Ishkur Zydrine Burn SKIN

- Golem Vitalshift EGO SKIN
- Vargur Zakura Shumyu SKIN
- Redeemer Fireblade Guerilla SKIN
- Panther Yoiul Star SKIN
- Paladin Imperial Police SKIN
- Sin Glittering Dream SKIN
Added the Wormhole Pilot Expert System.
- This Expert System makes available the skills a capsuleer needs to fly a gas-harvesting Venture, all Covert Ops frigates, and use combat fittings for a Praxis ready for Class 3 wormholes for 7 days.
Added the Insurgent Expert Systems.
- This Expert System makes available the skills a capsuleer needs to fly an effective battlecruiser in Insurgency complexes for 7 days.

Defect Fixes:

Pochven:

Technical:

Stage 1 of updating all Python code to Python 3.
Details can be found in: DEVBLOG: The Move to Python 3 begins.

Patch Notes for 2026-08-20.1

Features and Changes:

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

The Fabricator will now be invulnerable until wave 5 has been completed.
The Fabricator, Nanoswarms, and NPCs will now be immune to Smartbomb damage.
Disruptive Lances will now deal only 5% damage to the Fabricator, Nanoswarms, and NPCs.
Vorton Projectors will now deal 10% damage to the Fabricator, Nanoswarms, and NPCs.
Nanoswarms can now be repaired.

Smartbombs were previously disabled within these sites. They were enabled again with a signficant damage penalty so they could be used in pvp scenarios. Unfortunately, this led to performance issues as players were incentivized to spam Smartbombs to overcome the damage reduction. NPCs have now been made fully immune so Smartbomb spam is no longer encouraged.
Disruptive Lances were missed when other AoE effects were being nerfed within the site so have been given the same damage reduction as Bombs.
Vorton Projectors are a much more limited AoE effect, and as such have had their damage reduction scaled back a little. The site mechanics play strongly into their niche, so we will continue to monitor and adjust so they can feel powerful without entirely trivialising the content.

Defect Fixes:

User Interface:

When creating a corporation or alliance the UI window updates again as expected.

Patch Notes for 2026-08-19.1

Patch Notes for 2026-08-06.1

Features and Changes:

The Avalon Flotilla has come to Hirtamon. This landmark site houses the Avalon itself, a roaming fortress, forged by the Vanguard to offer all warclones the one thing they most need: a home.
The Amarr's Blessed Exchange campaign has received enough support for them to begin construction of the Deaconry of Economic Oversight. Extending from the existing Amarr VIII (Oris) - Emperor Family Academy station it marks the first signs of their potential success.
The Deaconry will be visible from orbit, as all modest Amarrian buildings should be.

Localization:

Added localization for the new Khanid Cyber Knights SKINs

Patch Notes for 2026-08-05.1

Features and Changes:

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

Increased the staggering time when spawning an NPC wave.
Added a new NPC to the site, the Infested Drone Naglfar, with the following behavior:
- Only spawns during large Severe and Critical threat waves.
- Is equipped with a Capital Energy Neutralizer.
- Has far greater EHP and DPS than existing Fabricator NPCs.
- Is vertical

Note that this NPC is equivalent to several battleship-tier NPCs. While the overall DPS of a wave will largely remain the same, the Infested Naglfar spawns will be more focused on specific targets rather than being spread out. This, combined with its powerful neutralizer, will mean logi will need to stay on their toes.
The average number of NPCs spawned during later Severe and Critical threat waves should see around a 10-15% decrease in NPC numbers to compensate for the Infested Naglfar. We've also increased the staggering time when a new wave spawns, and these two changes will help balance the load in later waves where the Rampant Drone Fabricator would sometimes fail to progress.
We've been really impressed with the various strategies that groups have taken to complete the Rogue Drone Fabricator site, and we're excited to see them further develop. Let the Rogue Drone annihilation continue!

Miscellaneous:

New Khanid Cyber Knight SKINs have been added

Patch Notes for 2026-07-30.1

Features & Changes:

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

Added additional staggering when spawning large numbers of NPCs to improve performance.

Defect Fixes:

Miscellaneous:

Minmatar Pilot Expert System is now displaying the correct icon.

Patch Notes for 2026-07-28.1

Features & Changes:

Operation Avalon:

Item traders for Operation Avalon have been removed.

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

Stability can now only be lost from wave 5 onwards.

Some players were deliberately starting and abandoning sites to force them to despawn. Now, a site can only become abandoned after wave 5 has been started. As a bonus, this change also gives players a chance to leave and refit their ship if they notice they forgot something.

Rebalanced NPC spawns to favor larger ships.

In effect, this lowers the amount of ships in a wave without changing the overall DPS. There should be fewer Frigate and Cruiser NPCs and more Battlecruiser and Battleship NPCs. On average, this should result in a 10-15% decrease in the number of NPCs during later waves.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Making Mounts of Molehills (2 of 10) can now be completed by mining Veldspar-0-Grade.

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

Fixed an issue where the site could become stuck after all NPCs are destroyed.

User Interface:

Fixed FPS drop when opening Opportunities Window.
Fixed issue that caused titles to obscure a character’s name when looking at their show info window.

Patch Notes for 2026-07-23.1

Features & Changes:

Rampant Drone Fabricator:

Added the Rampant Drone Fabricator site back to C1-C6 wormhole systems.
Increased the maximum wave to 100 (from 30).
The site will now escalate threat level based on a point system, dubbed "Rampancy", determined by the ships in proximity to the Fabricator.
- The first escalation, equivalent to the previous Battleship Escalation, occurs at 12 Rampancy.
- The second escalation, acting as a new middle escalation tier, occurs at 36 Rampancy.
- The final escalation, equivalent to the previous Capital Escalation, occurs at 72 Rampancy.
- The current Rampancy value will appear in the Info Panel objectives between waves.
- The threat level of the upcoming wave will now appear in the Info Panel objectives between waves.
- Each ship will add an amount of Rampancy as shown in the table below:

Ship	Rampancy
Capital (other)	72
Force Auxiliary	36
Marauder	12
Black Ops	8
Battleship (other)	6
Command Ship	3
Battlecruiser (other)	2
Strategic Cruiser	4
Heavy Assault Cruiser	2
Logistics Cruiser	2
Cruiser (other)	1

Rampancy allows players much more control over the level of risk and reward they want to take on. Given these sites are now exclusive to wormholes, Rampancy also plays into deciding how to make the best use of available mass in wormhole connections. The thresholds have been set so most setups prior to this change will continue to face the same level of difficulty.

The total quantity of Fabricator Data accrued within the Fabricator will now appear in the Info Panel objectives.
Reduced the ECM strength of NPCs.
Destroyer-sized EWAR NPCs will now use Sensor Dampeners rather than ECM.
- Note: These NPCs will appear with the "Bewildering" prefix.
Battlecruiser-sized EWAR NPCs will now use Target Painters rather than Stasis Webifiers.
- Note: These NPCs will appear with the "Scrutinizer" prefix.
Added four new Nanoswarms:
- Light Squadron Nanoswarm (Light Fighter Damage Bonus).
- Rapid Squadron Nanoswarm (Fighter Velocity Bonus).
- Focuser Nanoswarm (Turret Optimal Range Bonus).
- Prolonging Nanoswarm (Missile Flight Time Bonus).
Nanoswarms will now be vulnerable during the following waves:
- 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, 45, 65, and 85.
Drone rewards can now begin dropping from wave 1.
Reduced the per-wave drop chance of drones.
The average drop quantity of drones will now scale as the wave count increases.
- Note: In effect, while these drones will drop more rarely, the quantity will scale much higher. The resulting average number of these drones dropped by wave 30 has slightly increased.
All sizes of TP-I, SD-I, and TD-I Hybrid drones have been added as possible drops.
- Note: These drones have a significantly lower drop rate than the existing drone types. They have been added as an addition and will not dilute the existing drone rewards.
Increased the damage applied in C5/C6 sites.
Smartbombs are no longer blocked within proximity of the Fabricator.
Smartbombs, Bombs, and Vorton Projectors will now deal 95% less damage to the site's NPCs, Nanoswarms, and Fabricator.

Bombs were being used to clear waves almost instantly, regardless of the wave number. To avoid having to block the modules themselves, the damage of AoE effects has been reduced significantly when applied to NPCs and objects within the site. This allows players to use these weapons in any PvP that occurs within the site while still requiring active gameplay to progress it.

Decreased the additional damage applied to Carrier ships to 40% (from 50%).
- Note: Command Carriers will receive the full 100% damage increase like other Capital ships.
Decreased the site's respawn timer.
The Fabricator can now be repaired.
Improved the visuals of the site.
Updated the icon for Rampancy Data Dump commodities.
Updated various messages for better clarity and to reflect the site's evergreen status.
Fabricator NPCs are now separated into overview groups based on their hull sizes.
- Note: These groups are part of the default Overview, but will need to be enabled for existing custom Overview settings.

Operation Avalon is here!

Avalon Investigations:

Avalon Investigations will begin appearing throughout Empire space, from high to null-security systems. Additional investigations can be activated by Vanguard warclones as they complete Expeditions. Ongoing investigations appear both in the Map and the Opportunities window, under the Interstellar Events category.

Roaming Haulers and Hidden POIs:

Within these investigated systems roaming haulers, AEGIS Squalls, will travel between new sites and hidden POIs. Haulers have a variety of valuable loot in their cargoholds. Hidden Points of Interests include:

Hacking sites
Salvaging sites
Combat sites

Hidden POIs can only be located by scanning down haulers as they visit these locations, and contain much more valuable rewards.

Standard Sites:

In addition to the hidden POIs, standard versions of these sites can be found both as anomalies and cosmic signatures. While their rewards are not as high as their hidden variants, they are much more common and make for a reliable way to increase influence within the system.

Influence will be increased with every site completed. Once 100% influence is achieved, a special site containing additional rewards will appear. Completing this site will bring the investigation within the system to an end. Keep an eye out for the AEGIS Director and their exclusive Aralez combat drones!

Avalon Traders:

Vanguard Resonant Cyphers can be found in all sites and the roaming haulers. These tokens are highly sought after by Avalon traders, who will be more than happy to exchange them for unique rewards! These traders can be found throughout New Eden in the following systems:

Amarr
Sifilar
New Caldari
Kinakka
Poitot*
Dodixie
Ostingele
Rens
Hadozeko
SL-YBS

*Did you know Poitot is the only named system in Syndicate?

The items that can be acquired from traders include:

Volatile Boosters - extremely short-duration boosters with powerful effects.
Poteque 'Prospector' Salvaging SV-906 - an Implant that boosts Salvage retrieval by 6%.
New Vanguard-themed SKINR components.
Breach Control - A new faction damage control that can be activated in a pinch to reduce incoming Breacher pod damage for 120s.
A Unique Vanguard-themed character background.

Seasonal Challenges:

Capsuleers can complete various challenges to progress the Season reward track. Rewards for progression include Skill Points, Arkombine Arisen SKINs, boosters, and more. The final reward provides a Capsuleer with a Ranking Vanguard Resonant Cypher. This special token can be exchanged at the previously mentioned traders for additional rewards:

Salvation Arkombine Arisen SKIN.
Aeon Arkombine Arisen SKIN.
Lorharyth’s Modified Inertial Stabilizer - a brand new Officer Inertial Stabilizer!

Daily Login Rewards:

- Reduced the number of NPCs present from 6 NPCs to 4 NPCs.
- The NPCs will now take more than twice as long to respawn.

Patch Notes for 2026-06-19.1

Features & Changes:

Balancing:

We've been closely monitoring how Military Campaigns have been progressing and processing the feedback you've provided. We have decided to make some adjustments for upcoming Objectives.
We've changed the values in future Objectives to require fewer total participants. This means that we've also redistributed the payouts so that an individual completing their personal contribution will make more ISK.

This update will only apply to new Objectives revealed over the course of the Campaign, starting with those appearing from 20 June.

Overall we're really happy with the commitment and engagement we're seeing from Capsuleers and want to ensure that Campaigns feel interesting, fair and rewarding. Since this a new and fairly dynamic system we'll continue monitoring feedback to see if there are any other adjustments needed going forward.

Genius 'Boost' Cerebral Accelerator to get to your next goal faster

Claim Rare SKINs

The Shifting Spacetime Pack pairs 200 PLEX with a free YC128 Shifting-Spacetime Crate: a chance at one of nineteen ship SKINs for ships included in the latest balance pass, or 500 PLEX.

Free Shifting-Spacetime Crate drops one of the following items:

Several SKINs from this list haven’t circulated in New Eden for years, and we occasionally get requests from players to reintroduce older SKINs either because they love the way they look, or they just want to complete the collection. Just because you weren't around for a sale in 2018 shouldn't preclude you from having the designs you crave, whatever the reason. In the future, we’d like to bring more SKINs like these back into circulation, so if that’s something you’d want to see again, let us know. And again, it's repurchasable, so buy as many as you like.

Cradle of War Major Update Is Live

EVE Online Team — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Capsuleers,

The Cradle of War Major Update has arrived. Ansiblex jump bridges now run on capacitor charge, Pirate Insurgencies move faster, wormhole combat sites are modernized, and ships across New Eden are rebalanced.

The highlights are written out below, but if you want the gory details, read the Major Update announcement, review the patch notes, and check out the dev chat with FC Okami, FC Kestrel, and FC Swift.

Force Projection Upheaval

Ansiblex jump bridges hold a limited capacitor charge that recharges slowly over time. Every ship passing through spends some of it, with different hulls carrying different costs, and jump distance playing a big part as well. Once the charge runs out the bridge goes quiet until it recovers.

Access is tighter too. Ansiblexes carry subcapital ships only, and only for capsuleers in the alliance that owns them. Coalition partners now need their own infrastructure, or another way to travel.

Insurgencies Intensified

Pirate Insurgencies are faster and more contested. Capsuleers on both sides have more influence on how an Insurgency spreads, Forward Operating Base (FOB) reinforcement cycles are shorter, and more of the total reward now comes from winning the Insurgency outright. A new site built for battlecruisers appears from corruption stage two upward, carrying a bonus equivalent to another skill level for as long as a pilot stays inside it.

Them’s Fightin’ Wormholes

Class 1 to Class 3 wormhole combat sites have been modernized. NPCs make smarter use of electronic warfare, capsuleers can bring energy neutralization to bear against them, objectives appear in the info panel, and the sites have had a visual pass.

Pochven Updates

Pochven has shifted again. Vigilance Points now take fleets of up to 12 pilots, with payouts adjusted to match, while Observatory Flashpoints come down from 15 to 12. Intra-Pochven and extra-Pochven wormholes have been iterated on, and roaming NPC fleets move through the region in greater numbers. Additionally, four new mutaplasmids create new opportunities to experiment with drone support modules.

Ship Balance Pass

The balance pass reaches marauders, black ops battleships, heavy assault cruisers, and assault frigates. Lower mass on marauders and black ops matters most when traversing wormholes, the Deimos, Phobos, and Vigilant regain range lost to earlier medium railgun changes, and lancer dreadnoughts carry stronger resistance profiles.

Achievement Tracking

Keeping track of progress is easier, too. The info panel now follows up to five achievements at once, so several objectives can run side by side without a trip back to the achievements interface.

For the full detail, see the patch notes and the Major Update announcement.

Don’t Miss These Offers

Four Major Update packs are in the store until 5 October. Two are built for capsuleers stepping into wormhole space or a Pirate Insurgency for the first time, handing over the required skills for seven days. Two are built for capsuleers with history in New Eden. One gives you 500 PLEX, 648,000 SP, and a Genius 'Boost' Cerebral Accelerator at 50% off to close the gap after time away. Another repurchasable pack pairs 200 PLEX with a free crate that drops one of 19 rare SKINs or 500 PLEX.

Many new SKINR design components have been added to the Paragon Hub, and your SKIN designs can now launch into space faster and cheaper, as the Hub is offering 50% discounts on previously-released SKINR components, and also on the cost of sequencing speedups.

This offer is available until 5 October, and presents the perfect chance to express your creativity in New Eden.

Omega packs in the EVE Store still carry up to 1,500 PLEX free.

Before They're Gone

The first Military Campaigns are approaching their conclusion. Capsuleers still working toward their empire's objectives have limited time left to secure the rewards on offer, so there's no sense leaving them on the table.

The AIR Career Program (ACP) migrates to Paragon Services achievements in November. Anyone with unfinished ACP tasks should complete them and claim the rewards before the move. Once those tasks become achievements, they can be completed again through the new system, so there's a second run at them waiting on the other side.

Get Out There

New Eden is a different place as of today. Alliance borders matter in new ways, Insurgencies move faster, and familiar territory from nullsec to Anoikis has changed underfoot.

Undock and find out what that means.

Monthly Ban Report – August 2026

EVE Online team — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 11:00:00 GMT

EULA-abiding Capsuleers,

The Monthly Ban Report for August 2026 is available below. Team Security looks forward to contributing to the upcoming GM Week, details of which can be found in this news item.

Report Changes

A new graph showing the ships flown by characters who received a temp ban for macro use (botting). We are mindful that a relatively low number of temp bans, compared to permanent bans, makes the number of ships quite small.

Enforcement Trends

Payment Disputes - Increase in attempts at credit card fraud to purchase PLEX. Most fraud was either rejected at the point of purchase or caught during Player Support's review of purchases, thus preventing the PLEX from being delivered to the buyer.
Automated Account Creation - A significant number of bans are related to the mass creation of accounts that were used to farm Twitch drop rewards.

GM Week Returns Once More

EVE Online Team — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Masterful capsuleers,

The EVE Online Game Masters (GMs) will soon be allowed to have fun at work! Isn’t that nice?  

On Monday 28 September, GM Week 2026 officially kicks off! The Game Masters are the people who answer your tickets, support released features, and monitor server issues and policy infractions. As part of the Player Experience team at Fenris Creations, usually abbreviated as PX, we are here to assist you whenever technical, billing, or gameplay-related issues threaten to ruin your day. 

As is tradition during GM Week, we have multiple streams scheduled at different times during the event. To help everyone clear their schedules so you can join us on the Fenris Creations Twitch channel, here is the tentative streaming schedule for GM Week. Note that all times are UTC / EVE server time.

Major Update: Force Projection Revamped

EVE Online Team — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Capsuleers,

Something is shifting in the fabric of New Eden and Anoikis. Strange changes are beginning to make themselves felt, their cause still unclear, and even the technology capsuleers have relied on for years is struggling to keep pace.

The Cradle of War Major Update arrives on 22 September, bringing upheaval to some long-established parts of life in New Eden. Ansiblex jump bridges are changing significantly, introducing new limits on how alliances project their forces across nullsec. Pirate Insurgencies will become faster and more dynamic, Class 1 to Class 3 wormhole combat sites are being modernized, and further changes are coming to Pochven, ship balance, and more.

Many of these changes have been informed directly by constructive feedback from capsuleers, including conversations with the Council of Stellar Management (CSM), Factional Warfare Parliament, Wormhole UN, and other communities across New Eden.

A New Era for Force Projection

As strange shifts continue to affect space across New Eden, Upwell engineers have been forced to adapt one of the most important pieces of infrastructure in nullsec. Ansiblex jump bridges will now operate using a capacitor system, changing how alliances can move fleets, and how far they can effectively project from the heart of their territory.

Each Ansiblex will hold a limited capacitor charge that recharges slowly over time. Every ship passing through the bridge consumes some of that charge, with different ship types carrying different capacitor costs. Once the available charge has been depleted, further traffic will have to wait, while the Ansiblex replenishes its charge.

Distance matters as well. The capacitor cost of using an Ansiblex increases according to how far the destination sits from the owning alliance’s capital system. Moving forces outward toward the edges of an alliance’s reach becomes progressively more expensive, while returning toward its center costs considerably less.

Together, these changes introduce a practical operating range for Ansiblex networks. Alliances can still hold and operate across extensive territory, but rapidly moving large fleets across that territory will require more consideration. Fleet composition, distance, available capacitor charge, and the location of an alliance’s capital system will all play a part.

Access to the network is also becoming more restricted. Ansiblexes will carry subcapital ships, and their use will be limited to capsuleers belonging to the alliance that owns them. Coalition allies will therefore need to rely on their own infrastructure or other methods of travel.

Force projection has been a major topic of discussion in the EVE community for years, particularly for smaller alliances and roaming groups that can find themselves facing fleets mobilized from considerable distances. These changes make the reach of an Ansiblex network easier to anticipate, giving those groups more information about what may be able to reach them, from where, and in what numbers.

For established nullsec powers, meanwhile, the geography of an alliance and the layout of its infrastructure will carry more weight. The familiar map remains, but the distances across it are about to matter more.

This is an important step in ongoing work around force projection and sovereignty, with further adjustments planned in future updates.

Insurgencies Intensify

Pirate Insurgencies are also changing, with shorter conflicts, faster expansion, and greater control over how corruption spreads from system to system.

Capsuleers pushing corruption will have more opportunity to decide where an Insurgency goes next. Concentrate efforts on a particular system, push toward highsec, or use the geography of the warzone to close off important routes. Those fighting to suppress an Insurgency will have greater influence over its direction too, creating a more active contest over where the fighting moves next.

Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) are receiving changes to their reinforcement cycle as part of that shift. The cycle will be shorter, encouraging fleets to contest and ultimately destroy the FOB rather than keeping it in reinforcement while surrounding sites remain active.

Rewards are changing alongside this. Payouts for the Ice Refinery Heist and Mining Op Ambush sites will be reduced, while a greater share of the overall rewards will come from winning the Insurgency itself, putting more emphasis on pushing the conflict toward a conclusion.

There will also be a new battlefield to contest. A new site aimed at battlecruisers will begin appearing in Insurgency systems at corruption stage two and above. Based on the battlecruiser Factional Warfare site introduced with Cradle of War, it includes the same powerful battlecruiser bonus, giving pilots attributes equivalent to another skill level while inside the site.

These changes have been shaped in part by extensive feedback from the FW Parliament community and the CSM, as Pirate Insurgencies continue to evolve around the way capsuleers actually engage with them.

New Life in Wormhole Space

Class 1 to Class 3 wormhole combat sites are getting a comprehensive overhaul, bringing some of the oldest PvE encounters in Anoikis closer to modern EVE Online standards.

NPC behavior is being updated across these sites, including more intelligent use of electronic warfare and the ability for capsuleers to use energy neutralization against their opponents. Objectives will now appear through the info panel, giving pilots clearer information about their progress through an encounter.

The sites themselves are also being cleaned up visually. Outdated asteroids will be replaced by newer models, while the recurring pop-up that currently appears when warping into these sites will be replaced by a one-time transmission.

This modernization begins with Class 1 to Class 3 sites, and feedback from the pilots flying these sites will help inform how combat sites elsewhere in Anoikis evolve from here.

The Rampant Drone Fabricator Pays Better

Over the summer, the Rampant Drone Fabricator was introduced to wormhole space, and we've been amazed at the creativity you have shown, from the first group to best level 100, the tactics you're employing to master speed-runs, and even the amazing stories of fights breaking out in these sites. A few changes are coming based on your feedback to keep them rewarding and fun!

After the major update, these sites will provide more Fabricator Data, while the Pochven Loyalty Point (LP) Store will begin accepting that data in exchange for new rewards.

Among them are four new mutaplasmids for drone support modules that previously had no corresponding mutaplasmids, creating new opportunities to experiment with those modules. A new Hybrid Drone skill book will also be available exclusively through the Pochven LP Store, granting hybrid drones a 3% damage bonus per level and allowing trained drone pilots to push their performance further.

Quality-of-life adjustments to the Rampant Drone Fabricator will make the site smoother to run as well, including changes that make it easier to incorporate interdictors into fleet compositions.

Together, these changes give Fabricator Data a new purpose and put more of the site's value into rewards that capsuleers can use, trade, and build around.

Pochven Shifts Again

Historically the Observatory Flashpoints in Pocvhen have been the main driver for both income and conflict. There are more options now, so we're making some adjustments.

Vigilance Points will allow fleets of up to 12 pilots, increased from 10, opening them to a wider range of fleet compositions and increasing the available payout accordingly. 

Observatory Flashpoints will move in the opposite direction, with the maximum fleet size reducing from 15 to 12. Fleets will need to find efficient compositions that can handle the encounter with fewer pilots, increasing the rewards available to each successful member of the fleet.

Further iterations will also be made to aspects of intra-Pochven wormholes, extra-Pochven wormholes, and Roaming NPC fleets are also being updated, with more groups moving through the region and improvements to their behavior.

Ship Balance Across New Eden

A wider balance pass accompanies these changes, with several ship classes receiving improvements.

Marauders and black ops battleships will have their mass reduced, alongside adjustments to agility. The lower mass will be particularly significant in wormhole space, allowing these powerful hulls to pass through wormholes with less impact on their available mass.

Heavy assault cruisers and assault frigates are also receiving changes focused on improving lower-performing hulls. The Ansiblex changes could give smaller, lighter ships another strategic advantage, too, as their lower capacitor costs make them considerably easier to move through a busy jump bridge network.

The Deimos, Phobos, and Vigilant will regain some range following earlier medium railgun changes that affected those hulls more heavily than intended, while lancer dreadnoughts will receive stronger resistance profiles to improve the survivability of these expensive, specialized ships.

Industrialists working with Triglavian technology should also take note. The material cost of the Zero-Point Field Manipulator used in the production of the Babaroga is being reduced, with the change expected to lower production costs across Tech II Triglavian ships.

Be Prepared

The first Military Campaigns are approaching their conclusion, so capsuleers taking part still have time to advance their empire's objectives and secure the rewards available before the campaigns end.

Changes are coming to the AIR Career Program (ACP) as well. The program will migrate to Paragon Services achievements in November, so capsuleers with unfinished ACP tasks should complete them and claim their rewards before the migration takes place.

Once those tasks become achievements, they can be completed again through the new system, providing another opportunity to progress through them and earn the associated achievement rewards.

Keeping track of that progress will also become easier. The info panel will be able to track up to five achievements at once, making it much simpler to follow several objectives without repeatedly returning to the achievements interface. While you’ll have to wait until November for the ACP migration, the info panel changes are happening with the Major Update.

There’s never been a better time to dive into the action than now, and to get started at warp speed and looking the part, you can now save up to 30% on Omega time in the New Eden Store until 20 September, and get free Cold Wind’s Call SKINs in the bargain!

In addition, you can get up to 1,500 PLEX free with Omega packs in the EVE Store, making this deal even more attractive!

For capsuleers who have been away from New Eden, 22 September will bring a universe with new strategic considerations and new opportunities to find a place in them. Alliance borders will matter in new ways, Insurgencies will move faster, and familiar territory from nullsec to Anoikis is changing.

Return to EVE Online and find out where you fit into the upheaval.
