Fixed an issue which could cause the Zarzakh Emanation error message to show an incorrect, incredibly high number when trying to use a gate you're not locked to while having an Emanation timer.

Fixed an issue where Structure SKINR licenses were not being displayed on the Corporation Administration page for the Structure SKINR.

Several adjustments have been made to Capital Ship Manufacturing. The goal of these changes are streamlining capital manufacturing so that it's easier for smaller producers to get involved as well as a slight reduction to the cost of building capital ships.

• Fulleroferrocene, PPD Fullerene Fibers, Fullerene Intercalated Graphite, Methanofullerene, Lanthanum Metallofullerene and Scandium Metallofullerene have been removed from Capital Construction Components.

• The amounts of Isogen and Mexallon required for construction of Capital Clone Vat Bay, Capital Doomsday Weapon Mount and Capital Jump Bridge Array have been reduced by 10%.

• The amounts of Fulleroferrocene, PPD Fullerene Fibers, Fullerene Intercalated Graphite, Methanofullerene, Lanthanum Metallofullerene and Scandium Metallofullerene required for the manufacture of FTL Interlinks have been significantly increased.

• Reinforced Carbon Fibre, Megacyte, Zydrine, Fullerides, Noxium, Isogen, Tritanium, Mexallon, Pyerite, Phenolic Composites and Racial Carbides have been removed from the manufacture of FTL Interlinks.

• The amount of Auto-Integrity Preservation Seals and Life Support Backup Units needed to manufacture Titans are increased by 100%.

• The amount of Trigger Neurolink Conduits needed to manufacture Titans are increased by 50%.

• The amount of Capital Core Regulators needed to manufacture Titans is increased by 25%.

• Genetic Lock Preserver Blueprints, Genetic Structure Repairer Blueprints, Genetic Mutation Inhibitor Blueprints and Genetic Safeguard Filter Blueprints have had their input materials reduced to 5 and output reduced to 1 (reduced by a factor of 20 for both) to make it easier to create them in smaller batches.

A small amount of tweaks has been made to Tech 1 Battleship Blueprints to bring down their current costs to make them more affordable, reduce the current Isogen bottleneck (which currently makes up almost 50% of their cost), and also make them more cost efficient than Navy Battleships which currently cost only 20-25% more than Tech 1 Battleships.

• Adjustments made to Tech 1 Battleships (does  not include Navy or Pirate blueprints)

  • The amount of Isogen required is reduced from 400,000 to 200,000.

  • The amount of Nocxium required is increased from 12,000 to 24,000.

  • This represents, at the time of writing, an approximate 75 million ISK reduction to the cost of producing a Tech 1 Battleship from a ME:0 blueprint in an NPC station.

• Adjustments made to the Scorpion

  • The amount of Isogen required is reduced from 300,000 to 150,000.

  • The amount of Nocxium required is increased from 9,000 to 18,000.

We have also made some adjustments to the cost to produce Marauders and Black Ops. The main intention here is to keep their current price mostly the same or slightly higher, since both Black Ops and Marauders are incredibly strong right now and we don't want to unintentionally make them even more powerful by lowering their price. We are, therefore, increasing the amount of Reactor Units used in their blueprints, to make it so that they use primarily more R64 moon materials. This means that controlling valuable moons is more important for the production of Tech 2 Battleships.

• Adjustments made to Marauder Blueprints

  • The amount of Reactor Units required is increased from 225 to 675.

  • This represents a cost increase of approximately 60 million ISK at the time of writing these patch notes.

• Adjustments made to Black Ops Blueprints

  • The amount of Reactor Units required is increased from 150 to 450.

  • This represents a cost increase of approximately 40 million ISK at the time of writing these patch notes. Note that because the cost reduction of the Tech 1 Battleships used for production, the cost should remain roughly the same. It is possible that higher demand or market speculation for R64 materials may increase the costs in the future.

New LP Store Offers have been added for military corporation LP stores - offering Navy Ship BPCs in exchange for LP and Nexus Chips, rather than LP and ISK.

Smartbombs have undergone a full balance pass. All smartbombs in the game have been brought up to parity with the current EMP Smartbomb stats, which were better than the other damage types.

• Meta "Named" Smartbomb modules are now 'Compact' and use less powergrid.

• All compact meta smartbomb damage types now use the same 20% reduced CPU requirements that EM Smartbombs have.

• Added Storyline variations for the Kinetic and Thermal Smartbomb damage types which were missing before.

  • Players can obtain blueprint copies for these smartbombs from exploration content such as Data Sites, like most current storyline module blueprints.

  • Explosive Storyline Smartbombs have been buffed to now have the same values as the EM ones.

  • Storyline Smartbombs have received very small fitting buffs to keep them as the easiest to fit modules with the changes to Meta Smartbombs becoming the Compact variation.

• Faction and Officer smartbombs of non-EMP damage types have had their stats brought up to parity with EMP stats. We aim to not only bring the other smartbomb damage types up to par with EM, but to also make more interesting choices between the smartbomb damage types at Faction and Officer levels. Thus, after bringing them up to parity, the following changes were made:

  • Thermal Smartbombs: +20% range, -20% damage.

  • Explosive Smartbombs: +20% damage, -20% range.

  • Kinetic Smartbombs: -20% capacitor cost, -20% CPU cost, +20% cycle time.

• There now are 36 new Mutaplasmid types available to further customize and modify Smartbombs.

  • Smartbomb Mutaplasmids can modify the damage, range, cycle time, capacitor cost, CPU and powergrid requirements of Smartbombs.

  • Players can obtain these Mutaplasmids by completing regular Abyssal Filaments. The type of Filament that drops each Mutaplasmid type is based on the damage type associated with that Filament.

    • EMP (EM) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Electrical Filament Abyss.

    • Plasma (Thermal) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Firestorm Filament Abyss.

    • Proton (Explosive) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Gamma Filament Abyss.

    • Graviton (Kinetic) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Exotic Filament Abyss.

  • We will keep a close eye on the balance of missile "firewalling" strategies, Interdictor Bubble hitpoints for tackling Supercarriers and Titans, PVE Smartbomb balance, and Smartbomb gatecamps following these changes.

Frigate and Cruiser Officers and Officer modules

• New Officer Frigate and Officer Cruiser NPCs have been added to the game.

  • Officer Frigates can appear incredibly rarely in 0.5 rated high security space asteroid belts.

  • Officer Cruisers can appear incredibly rarely in 0.1 and 0.2 rated low security space asteroid belts.

• 50+ New Officer modules have been added to the game.

  • Assault Damage Controls

  • Warp Disruption Field Generator

  • And more!

Gistii B-type and Gistum B-type shield boosters

• Increased shield boost amount so that they now bridge the gap between C-type and A-type, rather than barely being better than the C-type while using more capacitor. This means they now follow the same precedent set by the large and x-large shield boosters.

  • Gistii B-type Small Shield Booster shield boost amount: increased to 48 from 41.

  • Gistum B-type Medium Shield Booster shield boost amount: increased to 144 from 124.

Mobile Observatory deployables can now be deployed in Pochven.

Rebalanced the web strength of several Minmatar EDENCOM NPCs which had stronger than 100% webs.

New Sovereignty Mining Upgrades

• 7 Small Mining Upgrades have been added, one for each mineral type. These new upgrades cost significantly less Power and Workforce than the current mining upgrades, making them far more flexible. They also respawn significantly faster, with 1 hour long respawn times, and they utilize the same mechanics as the Equinox Combat Upgrades where they can respawn instantly if the time between the last spawn was long enough. These new upgrades provide about 1⁄8th of the ore of the existing upgrades, and do not escalate to the Mining Escalation, nor have a chance to spawn Mercoxit sites, which is being kept as an exclusive for the existing mining upgrades.

  • Tritanium Prospecting Array 1 - 500,000 m3 of Tritanium providing ores.

  • Pyerite Prospecting Array 1 - 1,000,000 m3 of Pyerite providing ores.

  • Mexallon Prospecting Array 1 - 375,000 m3 of Mexallon providing ores.

  • Isogen Prospecting Array 1 - 325,000 m3 of Isogen providing ores.

  • Nocxium Prospecting Array 1 - 325,000 m3 of Nocxium providing ores.

  • Zydrine Prospecting Array 1 - 750,000 m3 of Zydrine providing ores.

  • Megacyte Prospecting Array 1 - 500,000 m3 of Megacyte providing ores.

  • Power Cost: 500

  • Workforce Cost: 6400

• Additionally, several asteroids added in Equinox have had their 3D model sizes increased so they look more impressive.

Major Threat Detection Array 1 & 2

• We've increased the number of sites provided by the level 1 and level 2 upgrades, especially for low truesec bands. See the tables below for the exact changes

Miscellaneous changes

• Players no longer need to pay existing Sovereignty bills to transition their Sovereignty Hubs to the Equinox Sov mode.

• Reduced the amount of Structure Acceleration Coils needed to manufacture a Skyhook from 2 to 1. This represents around a 20% cost reduction for the manufacturing costs for Skyhooks.

• Increased the signature radius on the Metenox Moon Drill, Skyhook and Custom Office types from 14,000m to 32,000m so that all supercarriers and capital weapons can apply full damage to them.

• Supercarrier Close Range Fighter Missile Abilities will now apply full damage to Skyhooks, Metenox Moon Drills, all existing FLEX structures, Custom Offices and the forcefield/control towers in the new Equinox pirate/infested starbase escalation.

The tabs stacked in one window can now be reordered with drag & drop.

Chat window improvements

• The hierarchy of the context menu has been improved to indicate settings applicable to the specific channel and to all channels.

• The context menu is now available from both the chat options menu (three dots) and the chat tab right-click menu.

• It is now possible to automatically hide messages containing specific phrases by using filters.

Allecto's Modified Medium Multispectrum Smartbomb will now appear within the Officer section of the market.

Fixed meta level and group information not appearing correctly for Officer modules dropped from Horizon Siege Point sites.

The deepflow has stabilized. Deepflow Rift sites will no longer appear.

Megaera's Modified Medium Energy Nosferatu can now be used with Medium Nosferatu Mutaplasmids.

Improved performance in systems containing multiple Skyhooks.

Fixed the type names of some of the new officer modules using smart quotes rather than a normal apostrophe.

Fixed an issue where Info Panel objectives could become incorrectly ordered

Increased the bonus percentages for Abyssal Artifact Recovery weather effects to 20% (from 10%).

Increase the initial setup timer in Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites to 90 seconds (from 60).

Increase the escape timer in Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites to 60 seconds (from 45).

Decreased the collision radius of Destabilizing Array objects in Stabilize Rift sites.

Due to a mysterious surprise attack from the Drifters, The Fulcrum has activated an "Emanation lock" on the stargates into Zarzakh and within the system of Zarzakh, preventing the Drifters from accessing Zarzakh by any means; this has temporarily stalled the drifter attack for now...

• Whenever a player enters Zarzakh from a stargate, they will become locked to that stargate and get an emanation lock timer for 6 hours. Players will only be able to leave Zarzakh through the stargate they are locked to for the next 6 hours.

  • Players can always leave Zarzakh through the Deathless Shipcaster, Clone Jumping or being pod killed, even with an Emanation lock.

  • If players do not have an Emanation lock timer, they can leave through any gate.

  • The Emanation lock is only given when entering Zarzakh, not when leaving it.

• If a player is outside Zarzakh with an Emanation lock timer, they can enter through any gate (It only prevents you from leaving Zarzakh). Entering Zarzakh from any gate will overwrite any old emanation lock timer with a new timer. You can only be locked to one gate at any time.

• Being pod killed into Zarzakh (If you have your home station set there) or clone jumping into Zarzakh is always possible regardless of Emanation Lock status.

• Warp Disruption Probes (From Interdiction Sphere Launcher modules fitted to Interdictors) and unscripted warp disruption field generator modules (from Heavy Interdictors) can no longer be used in Zarzakh.

• Escalations can no longer route a player through Zarzakh.

• Autopilot will no longer route a player through Zarzakh.

• If a player is inside Zarzakh with an Emanation lock, then Autopilot will consider the players Emanation lock and not route them through a gate they cannot use.

Zarzakh is under siege! Drifter and Sleeper forces have begun launching attacks within the four systems connecting to Zarzakh.

• Horizon Siege Point sites have begun appearing within the connecting systems. Capsuleers must keep the Drifter siege engine from becoming fully online within these sites. The device is only vulnerable while it is active. Be warned! While in this state, the engine will call for Drifter and Sleeper reinforcements.

• Roaming fleets of hostiles patrol these systems, targeting any capsuleers they find.

Info Panel objectives will now reappear if warp is started and then cancelled within ongoing sites.

Mine and escape Info Panel objectives will now appear when arriving at an ongoing Abyssal Artifact Recovery site.

Fixed a minor formatting issue in Traffic Stop site Operational Intel text.

Drifter NPCs in Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites will now have their shield hitpoints applied correctly.

Territorial Control Units (TCUs) and old deprecated sovereignty upgrades have had their reprocessing amounts adjusted to provide double the materials, so they now will provide a full refund in the components used to build them to players who choose to reprocess them.

Increased the rate at which Deepflow Adaptive Canisters can be found.

Instability will now stack when multiple tractor beams are activated simultaneously. Each tractor beam will be applied separately.

• As each tractor beam will cause instability, manage your modules carefully so as to not disturb what lies beyond the rift. Be sure to have the opportunities window opened to best gauge rift instability.

Deepflow Adaptive Canisters can no longer be found once the 27 canister limit is reached.

Electron Spin Resonance items now use their correct icon.

Fixed an issue where SKIN previews in the Paragon Hub did not display when first opening SKINR after logging in.

Fixed an issue where design elements appeared duplicated in the Slot Customization UI when activating a limited component in SKINR. Additionally, the "Metallic" component list no longer incorrectly switches to the "Basic" list after activating a design element.

Fixed an issue where sorting saved SKIN designs by name did not function correctly.

Drag and Drop SKIN Designs:

• Players can now drag their saved SKIN Designs directly from the Saved Designs list on SKINR's main page into chat for easy sharing.

Link Icon for Saved Designs:

• When selecting a saved SKIN Design on the main page, a link icon will appear. Drag this icon into chat to instantly share your design with others.

Opening Shared SKIN Designs:

• Clicking on a shared SKIN Design link in chat will now open SKINR directly in Studio mode. The design will load with all details filled in as per the original, ready for you to edit.

Design Ownership Display:

• Upon opening a shared design, the original creator's name will be displayed. Players can then modify the design and rename it, making it their own unique creation.

Archon now correctly maps materials to the tech slot within the SKINR and previously sequenced SKINs should now match the designed SKIN.

Extra pattern projections on some ships (eg. Crane) are now correctly removed from SKINR when designing and on the resulting SKIN, and previously sequenced SKINs should now match the designed SKIN.

Wormhole auras should be the correct color again.

Shaders will now render SSAO correctly where a tiling texture is being used.

Fixed an issue where the Back button did not function correctly in the SKINR Paragon Hub and Collections tabs.

Resolved overflow issues on the Studio page in the SKINR when using smaller window sizes.

After an initial set-up period, asteroids from beyond the rift will appear and a timer will begin.

Payouts will now be received if all asteroids are depleted when the timer ends.

• If successful, there will be a short cooldown before another wave of asteroids appears.

• If unsuccessful, no additional waves will appear, and the site will end.

Following the arrival of every wave are unpredictable effects and hostile NPCs determined to disrupt your progress.

• Hostile NPCs within the site will no longer target drones.

• The damage of Triglavian NPCs has been reduced.

Faulty Triglavian Caches now have a chance to appear whenever an asteroid is depleted.

• These caches are now destructible with lootable wrecks, like in Abyssal Deadspace.

• The contents of the caches have been greatly increased.

• Be quick! Caches will be lost if an asteroid appears in their place, and their wrecks do not last long in the chaotic environment.

As before, a warp disruption field will be active within the site whenever at least one asteroid is present.

The longer the site progresses, the greater the rewards and challenges become!

The repair amounts of logistics NPCs appearing in all sites have been decreased.

Combat NPCs appearing in all sites will now have a maximum orbit range of 30km.

Deepflow Rift sites

• Mysterious rifts, seemingly connected to the depths of the Triglavian abyss, have begun appearing throughout the cluster and beyond. Though they are untraversable by capsuleers, a tractor beam may be able to dredge up items of interest from the other side.

Some objects like ice asteroids have had their texture scaling fixed.

Fixed an issue causing conversations to not appear when arriving at a site that was already completed.

Escalations which last longer than 72 hours such as the Capital escalations added in Equinox, that a player had already visited but did not return to it for 24+ hours, will no longer incorrectly despawn.

The EDENCOM Vorton Projector weapons can now be used on Custom Gantries, POCOs and Skyhooks.

Fixed the Upwell industrial ships ship exhaust VFX after warping.

Fixed missing laser beams in Rattlesnake King's Ransom SKIN.

The Omega restricted message for monthly goals is now correctly displaying in Chinese.

Fixed the Social description which was replaced by the SKINR sequencing skill description.

Skyhooks and what planet they are at will now appear in the fleet broadcast history and last broadcast message when players broadcast a Skyhook

Fixed a client-side exception, and It's now possible to shift drag drones from your hangar into a simulated ships drone bay.

Viewing solar systems in the colony resources agency page which do not have any workforce will no longer have a 'no workforce label' error instead of the workforce icon. Instead, in systems with no workforce, the icon will be hidden from view.

Fixed UI elements overflowing with the Metenox moon drill mining details page when there are more than 4 moon materials being mined.

Fixed an issue where the tooltip would not appear when a player moused over the last broadcast message in a fleet if the person who broadcasted left the fleet.

Fixed a missing tooltip label when mousing over the Skyhook Icon in the solar system info panel which appears when a raid is taking place in the solar system.

Increased the width of the quantity field in the NES, so that now 2 digits are shown clearly.

Fixed an erroneous tooltip warning that would appear when attempting to place a command center on a planet for PI in an Upwell Hauler when they had command centers in their Infrastructure Hold stating that the command center was not found in the cargo hold.

The industry window is no longer case sensitive when sorting through owned blueprints. I.e. EM Pulse Generator blueprint will now no longer be displayed above Electrolytic Capacitor Unit Blueprint when sorting by name ascending.

Fixed the width on the industry window dropdown filters so they are now large enough to include the full name instead of being cut off.

In preparation for another SKINR update, we are extending the Daily Login Rewards to Tuesday August 27th.

Fixed an issue where selecting a Pattern in the SKINR design creator did not automatically apply the default color.

All design elements, owned or unowned, are now available to preview in the SKINR Studio. Unowned design elements that are available in the Paragon Hub can now be purchased directly during design creation.

Can toggle between limited/unlimited versions (if owned) on a design element in slot in the SKINR Studio.

Can now directly activate nanocoatings/patterns/metallics when purchasing them from the Paragon Hub.

Nanocoatings are now automatically sorted by hue in the SKINR Studio when creating SKIN designs.

All nanocoatings and metallic design elements can be placed into all slots including the Tech area.

A popup on hover is now present for all design elements in the designer slot panels with the element name and rarity information.

Now have the option to cancel their own ongoing SKIN listings.

• Upon cancelling, only the escrowed SKIN licenses are refunded - the currency spent for the HUB Listing Costs are not.

Until August 21st, a special set of login rewards will be available for players who log on. Rewards include Sequence Binder Welcome package and components for SKINR Ship Personalization, up to 200K skill points, and boosters.

Removed an unused duplicated Hedbergite ore type from the market.

During downtime today we deployed a small server-side tools patch. However, it appears that this caused an issue with the AIR NPE making it no longer possible to continue after finishing part 1 (Baptism by Fire). This has now been fixed.

Fixed an issue that was causing changes to currently installed Rogue Drone combat anomaly related sov upgrades to not take effect. It will take until downtime on 2 August for changes to be fully corrected.

Reverted a change which prevented cap booster 25s from being loaded into small ancillary modules.

Multi-Part escalations are now given to the character that completes them, rather than the original owner of the escalation.

Expanded research focus on critical immune system diseases, including cancer

Enhanced minigame with revised tutorial and introduction of visual density curves allowing for advanced analysis techniques

More complex scatterplot samples for players to gate a larger variety of diseases

Marketplace taxes reduced to 4.5%. Down from 8%.

The number of Daily Goals available has been doubled from 4 to 8 active goals to pick from each day.

The Daily Completion Bonus reward has been doubled from 5,000 SP to 10,000 SP.

4 Daily Goal types have been removed:

• Scan 2 Combat Sites

• Scan 2 Data Sites

• Scan 2 Relic Sites

• Scan 2 Wormholes

Reduced Vendor Fees from 30% to 20% for selling SKINs in the Paragon HUB.

Reduced Sequencing Time and Cost when sequencing new SKINs in SKINR.

Added new skill "Paragon Relations" for reducing Paragon HUB Vendor Fees when selling SKINs by 1% per level.

Refactored the Colony Resources page so that it should now have vastly better client-side performance and the filtering should be significantly improved.

Fixed a bug where if a player died to or took damage from a Rogue Drone NPC in an asteroid belt or at a stargate, it wouldn't appear on the killmail and the killmail would be partially broken with empty icons where the NPC should have been.

Multiple implant sets will now give FW LP when an enemy faction capsule is killed with those fitted. This affects the Asklepian, Savior, Nirvana, Mimesis, Rapture and the Hydra sets.

Small Ancillary Shield Booster and Small Remote Ancillary Shield Boosters will now display their size as "small" rather than as "None noLabel".

Added FREE 15,000 SP store visit weekly reward for Omega-time capsuleers.

Tritanium Prospecting Array (Veldspar Deposit)

• Total Ore Volume increased from 3,000,000 m3 to 4,000,000 m3.

Zydrine Prospecting Array (Hezorime Deposit)

• Total ore Volume increased from 2,015,799 m3 to 5,970,000 m3.

• The size of several asteroids have been vastly increased to make this site very comparable to the Colossal Asteroid Cluster, with 24+ asteroids bigger than 100,000m3 and a behemoth 600,000m3 asteroid.

Mining Escalation

• Shrouded Asteroid Cluster has been overhauled and is now the Interstitial Ore Deposit.

• The chance of acquiring the mining escalation has been greatly increased.

• Total Ore Volume increased from 3,750,000 to 8,480,000 m3.

• All asteroids have been replaced with Spodumain, Abyssal Asteroids and a small amount of Mercoxit.

Capital focused escalations (Shielded/Infested Starbase and the Capital Staging/Hive sites)

• Escalation Expiration timer from 24 hours to 72 hours.

Minor and Major Threat Detection Arrays.

• Maximum Respawn Time reduced from 20 minutes to 12 minutes

• An additional combat anomaly has been added to most upgrades

• Adjusted anomalies spawned by Major Threat Detection Arrays in drone space to increase the amount of Drone Horde and Drone Patrol sites by replacing some or all of the Squad and Herd sites.

Non-Drone Regions

Drone Regions

Adjusted the fitting warning message that appears for the Bowhead and Avalanche that warned you against fitting propulsion modules to them such as a 500mn MicrowarpDrive and advising you to fit capital sized propulsion modules (10000mn, 50000mn) which neither ship could fit. Instead, it now warns you that it could be inefficient to fit propulsion modules to the ships and may give less of a speed boost than you expect.

Removed "Metallic" from being appended to the end of some Design Elements to make them uniform with others.

Fixed an issue that was causing respawn timers of certain combat anomalies to be too low.

• The combat anomaly sites spawned by the new sovereignty hub upgrades are intended to respawn faster than anomalies spawned by older upgrades when completed at average speeds, providing a better experience for the vast majority of players. In Equinox, the respawn timers for these sites were adjusted to begin counting down when the previous site spawned instead of when the previous site was completed, causing the effective wait time for the next site to be variable depending on how quickly you completed the previous site. This means that instant respawns of sites are intended to happen in some cases, but not when chaining sites extremely quickly using multiple ships and optimal tactics.

• In today's patch, we have partially addressed an issue that had been causing the intended cooldowns to not apply properly. This issue was most significantly affecting systems where the combat anomalies were being chain completed in a very short period due to hyper-optimized tactics with multiple characters. Respawn times can still be instant in some situations, especially when the sites are being run at average speeds, but they will no longer be instant every time when the sites are being completed very quickly.

Updated SKIN License Tier indicators for better clarity.

Enhanced the Sequencing panel for design elements and sequence binder requirements.

SKIN listings from the Paragon Hub are now linkable.

Added the option to purchase multiple stacks of design elements directly from the Paragon Hub.

• To enable this option you will need to have the Station Manager, Director or CEO role in your corporation and be part of an alliance.

• It can be turned on by going to Markers in the world map settings and then checking the Sovereignty Hub's box.

• You can only see the status of Sovereignty Hubs that your corporation owns. Ones that belong to your alliance but not your corporation will show up as grey.

• Sovereignty Hubs can be configured from this map view by right clicking on the sovhub workforce icon and then choosing the 'edit configuration' option.

VFX glow color on SOE ships are now correctly blue again (instead of lime green).

Removed a clipping rock from an acceleration gate on "Vengeance" mission site.

Fixed a client side exception when simulating a fit, moving the drone quantity down to 0, and then moving it back up again.

Reduced the minimum distance that Skyhooks can be deployed next to stargates and structures from 100,000km to 1,000km. This range was rarely and sporadically blocking skyhooks from being able to be deployed on planets which were very close to stargates/structures.

Skyhooks now have ingame notifications when they are deployed, go online, are attacked, are reinforced and are destroyed.

Upwell Structure related ammo items in the charge category will now more consistently move into the Infrastructure Hold, such as Standup Bombs, Flak Ammo, Standup ECM Scripts, Structure Anticapital and Structure Anticapital missiles.

Fixed an Issue which could cause the Metenox moon drill (And all FLEX structures to a lesser extent) to have much shorter reinforcement timers than intended.

It's now possible to open the configuration window of a Sovereignty Hub that had the Fuel Access ACL list deleted.

Fixed an issue where it was not possible to list a SKIN License for sale in the Paragon Hub for a price higher than 2.1 billion.

The sovhub configuration menu will no longer let you drag an upgrade in from location that is not your ship and will display a user error when you try. (It would let you before in the simulation but would fail when trying to save).

Fixed an exception which occurred when closing the Sov Hub window from the corporation management window.

Fixed an issue which caused strategic upgrades installed in sovereignty hubs running in the new system to continue to provide their effects until downtime if the sovereignty hub was

Fixed an issue where Structure SKINR licenses were not being displayed on the Corporation Administration page for the Structure SKINR.

Several adjustments have been made to Capital Ship Manufacturing. The goal of these changes are streamlining capital manufacturing so that it's easier for smaller producers to get involved as well as a slight reduction to the cost of building capital ships.

• Fulleroferrocene, PPD Fullerene Fibers, Fullerene Intercalated Graphite, Methanofullerene, Lanthanum Metallofullerene and Scandium Metallofullerene have been removed from Capital Construction Components.

• The amounts of Isogen and Mexallon required for construction of Capital Clone Vat Bay, Capital Doomsday Weapon Mount and Capital Jump Bridge Array have been reduced by 10%.

• The amounts of Fulleroferrocene, PPD Fullerene Fibers, Fullerene Intercalated Graphite, Methanofullerene, Lanthanum Metallofullerene and Scandium Metallofullerene required for the manufacture of FTL Interlinks have been significantly increased.

• Reinforced Carbon Fibre, Megacyte, Zydrine, Fullerides, Noxium, Isogen, Tritanium, Mexallon, Pyerite, Phenolic Composites and Racial Carbides have been removed from the manufacture of FTL Interlinks.

• The amount of Auto-Integrity Preservation Seals and Life Support Backup Units needed to manufacture Titans are increased by 100%.

• The amount of Trigger Neurolink Conduits needed to manufacture Titans are increased by 50%.

• The amount of Capital Core Regulators needed to manufacture Titans is increased by 25%.

• Genetic Lock Preserver Blueprints, Genetic Structure Repairer Blueprints, Genetic Mutation Inhibitor Blueprints and Genetic Safeguard Filter Blueprints have had their input materials reduced to 5 and output reduced to 1 (reduced by a factor of 20 for both) to make it easier to create them in smaller batches.

A small amount of tweaks has been made to Tech 1 Battleship Blueprints to bring down their current costs to make them more affordable, reduce the current Isogen bottleneck (which currently makes up almost 50% of their cost), and also make them more cost efficient than Navy Battleships which currently cost only 20-25% more than Tech 1 Battleships.

• Adjustments made to Tech 1 Battleships (does  not include Navy or Pirate blueprints)

  • The amount of Isogen required is reduced from 400,000 to 200,000.

  • The amount of Nocxium required is increased from 12,000 to 24,000.

  • This represents, at the time of writing, an approximate 75 million ISK reduction to the cost of producing a Tech 1 Battleship from a ME:0 blueprint in an NPC station.

• Adjustments made to the Scorpion

  • The amount of Isogen required is reduced from 300,000 to 150,000.

  • The amount of Nocxium required is increased from 9,000 to 18,000.

We have also made some adjustments to the cost to produce Marauders and Black Ops. The main intention here is to keep their current price mostly the same or slightly higher, since both Black Ops and Marauders are incredibly strong right now and we don't want to unintentionally make them even more powerful by lowering their price. We are, therefore, increasing the amount of Reactor Units used in their blueprints, to make it so that they use primarily more R64 moon materials. This means that controlling valuable moons is more important for the production of Tech 2 Battleships.

• Adjustments made to Marauder Blueprints

  • The amount of Reactor Units required is increased from 225 to 675.

  • This represents a cost increase of approximately 60 million ISK at the time of writing these patch notes.

• Adjustments made to Black Ops Blueprints

  • The amount of Reactor Units required is increased from 150 to 450.

  • This represents a cost increase of approximately 40 million ISK at the time of writing these patch notes. Note that because the cost reduction of the Tech 1 Battleships used for production, the cost should remain roughly the same. It is possible that higher demand or market speculation for R64 materials may increase the costs in the future.

New LP Store Offers have been added for military corporation LP stores - offering Navy Ship BPCs in exchange for LP and Nexus Chips, rather than LP and ISK.

Smartbombs have undergone a full balance pass. All smartbombs in the game have been brought up to parity with the current EMP Smartbomb stats, which were better than the other damage types.

• Meta "Named" Smartbomb modules are now 'Compact' and use less powergrid.

• All compact meta smartbomb damage types now use the same 20% reduced CPU requirements that EM Smartbombs have.

• Added Storyline variations for the Kinetic and Thermal Smartbomb damage types which were missing before.

  • Players can obtain blueprint copies for these smartbombs from exploration content such as Data Sites, like most current storyline module blueprints.

  • Explosive Storyline Smartbombs have been buffed to now have the same values as the EM ones.

  • Storyline Smartbombs have received very small fitting buffs to keep them as the easiest to fit modules with the changes to Meta Smartbombs becoming the Compact variation.

• Faction and Officer smartbombs of non-EMP damage types have had their stats brought up to parity with EMP stats. We aim to not only bring the other smartbomb damage types up to par with EM, but to also make more interesting choices between the smartbomb damage types at Faction and Officer levels. Thus, after bringing them up to parity, the following changes were made:

  • Thermal Smartbombs: +20% range, -20% damage.

  • Explosive Smartbombs: +20% damage, -20% range.

  • Kinetic Smartbombs: -20% capacitor cost, -20% CPU cost, +20% cycle time.

• There now are 36 new Mutaplasmid types available to further customize and modify Smartbombs.

  • Smartbomb Mutaplasmids can modify the damage, range, cycle time, capacitor cost, CPU and powergrid requirements of Smartbombs.

  • Players can obtain these Mutaplasmids by completing regular Abyssal Filaments. The type of Filament that drops each Mutaplasmid type is based on the damage type associated with that Filament.

    • EMP (EM) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Electrical Filament Abyss.

    • Plasma (Thermal) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Firestorm Filament Abyss.

    • Proton (Explosive) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Gamma Filament Abyss.

    • Graviton (Kinetic) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Exotic Filament Abyss.

  • We will keep a close eye on the balance of missile "firewalling" strategies, Interdictor Bubble hitpoints for tackling Supercarriers and Titans, PVE Smartbomb balance, and Smartbomb gatecamps following these changes.

Frigate and Cruiser Officers and Officer modules

• New Officer Frigate and Officer Cruiser NPCs have been added to the game.

  • Officer Frigates can appear incredibly rarely in 0.5 rated high security space asteroid belts.

  • Officer Cruisers can appear incredibly rarely in 0.1 and 0.2 rated low security space asteroid belts.

• 50+ New Officer modules have been added to the game.

  • Assault Damage Controls

  • Warp Disruption Field Generator

  • And more!

Gistii B-type and Gistum B-type shield boosters

• Increased shield boost amount so that they now bridge the gap between C-type and A-type, rather than barely being better than the C-type while using more capacitor. This means they now follow the same precedent set by the large and x-large shield boosters.

  • Gistii B-type Small Shield Booster shield boost amount: increased to 48 from 41.

  • Gistum B-type Medium Shield Booster shield boost amount: increased to 144 from 124.

Mobile Observatory deployables can now be deployed in Pochven.

Rebalanced the web strength of several Minmatar EDENCOM NPCs which had stronger than 100% webs.

New Sovereignty Mining Upgrades

• 7 Small Mining Upgrades have been added, one for each mineral type. These new upgrades cost significantly less Power and Workforce than the current mining upgrades, making them far more flexible. They also respawn significantly faster, with 1 hour long respawn times, and they utilize the same mechanics as the Equinox Combat Upgrades where they can respawn instantly if the time between the last spawn was long enough. These new upgrades provide about 1⁄8th of the ore of the existing upgrades, and do not escalate to the Mining Escalation, nor have a chance to spawn Mercoxit sites, which is being kept as an exclusive for the existing mining upgrades.

  • Tritanium Prospecting Array 1 - 500,000 m3 of Tritanium providing ores.

  • Pyerite Prospecting Array 1 - 1,000,000 m3 of Pyerite providing ores.

  • Mexallon Prospecting Array 1 - 375,000 m3 of Mexallon providing ores.

  • Isogen Prospecting Array 1 - 325,000 m3 of Isogen providing ores.

  • Nocxium Prospecting Array 1 - 325,000 m3 of Nocxium providing ores.

  • Zydrine Prospecting Array 1 - 750,000 m3 of Zydrine providing ores.

  • Megacyte Prospecting Array 1 - 500,000 m3 of Megacyte providing ores.

  • Power Cost: 500

  • Workforce Cost: 6400

• Additionally, several asteroids added in Equinox have had their 3D model sizes increased so they look more impressive.

Miscellaneous changes

• Players no longer need to pay existing Sovereignty bills to transition their Sovereignty Hubs to the Equinox Sov mode.

• Reduced the amount of Structure Acceleration Coils needed to manufacture a Skyhook from 2 to 1. This represents around a 20% cost reduction for the manufacturing costs for Skyhooks.

• Increased the signature radius on the Metenox Moon Drill, Skyhook and Custom Office types from 14,000m to 32,000m so that all supercarriers and capital weapons can apply full damage to them.

• Supercarrier Close Range Fighter Missile Abilities will now apply full damage to Skyhooks, Metenox Moon Drills, all existing FLEX structures, Custom Offices and the forcefield/control towers in the new Equinox pirate/infested starbase escalation.

The tabs stacked in one window can now be reordered with drag & drop.

Chat window improvements

• The hierarchy of the context menu has been improved to indicate settings applicable to the specific channel and to all channels.

• The context menu is now available from both the chat options menu (three dots) and the chat tab right-click menu.

• It is now possible to automatically hide messages containing specific phrases by using filters.

• Multi-line chat messages can now be automatically collapsed if longer than the chosen number of lines.

Increase the escape timer in Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites to 60 seconds (from 45).

Decreased the collision radius of Destabilizing Array objects in Stabilize Rift sites.

Due to a mysterious surprise attack from the Drifters, The Fulcrum has activated an "Emanation lock" on the stargates into Zarzakh and within the system of Zarzakh, preventing the Drifters from accessing Zarzakh by any means; this has temporarily stalled the drifter attack for now...

• Whenever a player enters Zarzakh from a stargate, they will become locked to that stargate and get an emanation lock timer for 6 hours. Players will only be able to leave Zarzakh through the stargate they are locked to for the next 6 hours.

  • Players can always leave Zarzakh through the Deathless Shipcaster, Clone Jumping or being pod killed, even with an Emanation lock.

  • If players do not have an Emanation lock timer, they can leave through any gate.

  • The Emanation lock is only given when entering Zarzakh, not when leaving it.

• If a player is outside Zarzakh with an Emanation lock timer, they can enter through any gate (It only prevents you from leaving Zarzakh). Entering Zarzakh from any gate will overwrite any old emanation lock timer with a new timer. You can only be locked to one gate at any time.

• Being pod killed into Zarzakh (If you have your home station set there) or clone jumping into Zarzakh is always possible regardless of Emanation Lock status.

• Warp Disruption Probes (From Interdiction Sphere Launcher modules fitted to Interdictors) and unscripted warp disruption field generator modules (from Heavy Interdictors) can no longer be used in Zarzakh.

• Escalations can no longer route a player through Zarzakh.

• Autopilot will no longer route a player through Zarzakh.

• If a player is inside Zarzakh with an Emanation lock, then Autopilot will consider the players Emanation lock and not route them through a gate they cannot use.

Zarzakh is under siege! Drifter and Sleeper forces have begun launching attacks within the four systems connecting to Zarzakh.

• Horizon Siege Point sites have begun appearing within the connecting systems. Capsuleers must keep the Drifter siege engine from becoming fully online within these sites. The device is only vulnerable while it is active. Be warned! While in this state, the engine will call for Drifter and Sleeper reinforcements.

• Roaming fleets of hostiles patrol these systems, targeting any capsuleers they find.

Info Panel objectives will now reappear if warp is started and then cancelled within ongoing sites.

Mine and escape Info Panel objectives will now appear when arriving at an ongoing Abyssal Artifact Recovery site.

Fixed a minor formatting issue in Traffic Stop site Operational Intel text.

Drifter NPCs in Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites will now have their shield hitpoints applied correctly.

Territorial Control Units (TCUs) and old deprecated sovereignty upgrades have had their reprocessing amounts adjusted to provide double the materials, so they now will provide a full refund in the components used to build them to players who choose to reprocess them.

Increased the rate at which Deepflow Adaptive Canisters can be found.

Instability will now stack when multiple tractor beams are activated simultaneously. Each tractor beam will be applied separately.

• As each tractor beam will cause instability, manage your modules carefully so as to not disturb what lies beyond the rift. Be sure to have the opportunities window opened to best gauge rift instability.

Deepflow Adaptive Canisters can no longer be found once the 27 canister limit is reached.

Electron Spin Resonance items now use their correct icon.

Fixed an issue where SKIN previews in the Paragon Hub did not display when first opening SKINR after logging in.

Fixed an issue where design elements appeared duplicated in the Slot Customization UI when activating a limited component in SKINR. Additionally, the "Metallic" component list no longer incorrectly switches to the "Basic" list after activating a design element.

Fixed an issue where sorting saved SKIN designs by name did not function correctly.

Drag and Drop SKIN Designs:

• Players can now drag their saved SKIN Designs directly from the Saved Designs list on SKINR's main page into chat for easy sharing.

Link Icon for Saved Designs:

• When selecting a saved SKIN Design on the main page, a link icon will appear. Drag this icon into chat to instantly share your design with others.

Opening Shared SKIN Designs:

• Clicking on a shared SKIN Design link in chat will now open SKINR directly in Studio mode. The design will load with all details filled in as per the original, ready for you to edit.

Design Ownership Display:

• Upon opening a shared design, the original creator's name will be displayed. Players can then modify the design and rename it, making it their own unique creation.

Archon now correctly maps materials to the tech slot within the SKINR and previously sequenced SKINs should now match the designed SKIN.

Extra pattern projections on some ships (eg. Crane) are now correctly removed from SKINR when designing and on the resulting SKIN, and previously sequenced SKINs should now match the designed SKIN.

Wormhole auras should be the correct color again.

Shaders will now render SSAO correctly where a tiling texture is being used.

Fixed an issue where the Back button did not function correctly in the SKINR Paragon Hub and Collections tabs.

Resolved overflow issues on the Studio page in the SKINR when using smaller window sizes.

After an initial set-up period, asteroids from beyond the rift will appear and a timer will begin.

Payouts will now be received if all asteroids are depleted when the timer ends.

• If successful, there will be a short cooldown before another wave of asteroids appears.

• If unsuccessful, no additional waves will appear, and the site will end.

Following the arrival of every wave are unpredictable effects and hostile NPCs determined to disrupt your progress.

• Hostile NPCs within the site will no longer target drones.

• The damage of Triglavian NPCs has been reduced.

Faulty Triglavian Caches now have a chance to appear whenever an asteroid is depleted.

• These caches are now destructible with lootable wrecks, like in Abyssal Deadspace.

• The contents of the caches have been greatly increased.

• Be quick! Caches will be lost if an asteroid appears in their place, and their wrecks do not last long in the chaotic environment.

As before, a warp disruption field will be active within the site whenever at least one asteroid is present.

The longer the site progresses, the greater the rewards and challenges become!

The repair amounts of logistics NPCs appearing in all sites have been decreased.

Combat NPCs appearing in all sites will now have a maximum orbit range of 30km.

Deepflow Rift sites

• Mysterious rifts, seemingly connected to the depths of the Triglavian abyss, have begun appearing throughout the cluster and beyond. Though they are untraversable by capsuleers, a tractor beam may be able to dredge up items of interest from the other side.

Some objects like ice asteroids have had their texture scaling fixed.

Fixed an issue causing conversations to not appear when arriving at a site that was already completed.

Escalations which last longer than 72 hours such as the Capital escalations added in Equinox, that a player had already visited but did not return to it for 24+ hours, will no longer incorrectly despawn.

The EDENCOM Vorton Projector weapons can now be used on Custom Gantries, POCOs and Skyhooks.

Fixed the Upwell industrial ships ship exhaust VFX after warping.

Fixed missing laser beams in Rattlesnake King's Ransom SKIN.

The Omega restricted message for monthly goals is now correctly displaying in Chinese.

Fixed the Social description which was replaced by the SKINR sequencing skill description.

Skyhooks and what planet they are at will now appear in the fleet broadcast history and last broadcast message when players broadcast a Skyhook

Fixed a client-side exception, and It's now possible to shift drag drones from your hangar into a simulated ships drone bay.

Viewing solar systems in the colony resources agency page which do not have any workforce will no longer have a 'no workforce label' error instead of the workforce icon. Instead, in systems with no workforce, the icon will be hidden from view.

Fixed UI elements overflowing with the Metenox moon drill mining details page when there are more than 4 moon materials being mined.

Fixed an issue where the tooltip would not appear when a player moused over the last broadcast message in a fleet if the person who broadcasted left the fleet.

Fixed a missing tooltip label when mousing over the Skyhook Icon in the solar system info panel which appears when a raid is taking place in the solar system.

Increased the width of the quantity field in the NES, so that now 2 digits are shown clearly.

Fixed an erroneous tooltip warning that would appear when attempting to place a command center on a planet for PI in an Upwell Hauler when they had command centers in their Infrastructure Hold stating that the command center was not found in the cargo hold.

The industry window is no longer case sensitive when sorting through owned blueprints. I.e. EM Pulse Generator blueprint will now no longer be displayed above Electrolytic Capacitor Unit Blueprint when sorting by name ascending.

Fixed the width on the industry window dropdown filters so they are now large enough to include the full name instead of being cut off.

In preparation for another SKINR update, we are extending the Daily Login Rewards to Tuesday August 27th.

Fixed an issue where selecting a Pattern in the SKINR design creator did not automatically apply the default color.

All design elements, owned or unowned, are now available to preview in the SKINR Studio. Unowned design elements that are available in the Paragon Hub can now be purchased directly during design creation.

Can toggle between limited/unlimited versions (if owned) on a design element in slot in the SKINR Studio.

Can now directly activate nanocoatings/patterns/metallics when purchasing them from the Paragon Hub.

Nanocoatings are now automatically sorted by hue in the SKINR Studio when creating SKIN designs.

All nanocoatings and metallic design elements can be placed into all slots including the Tech area.

A popup on hover is now present for all design elements in the designer slot panels with the element name and rarity information.

Now have the option to cancel their own ongoing SKIN listings.

• Upon cancelling, only the escrowed SKIN licenses are refunded - the currency spent for the HUB Listing Costs are not.

Until August 21st, a special set of login rewards will be available for players who log on. Rewards include Sequence Binder Welcome package and components for SKINR Ship Personalization, up to 200K skill points, and boosters.

Removed an unused duplicated Hedbergite ore type from the market.

During downtime today we deployed a small server-side tools patch. However, it appears that this caused an issue with the AIR NPE making it no longer possible to continue after finishing part 1 (Baptism by Fire). This has now been fixed.

Non-Drone Regions

Drone Regions

Adjusted the fitting warning message that appears for the Bowhead and Avalanche that warned you against fitting propulsion modules to them such as a 500mn MicrowarpDrive and advising you to fit capital sized propulsion modules (10000mn, 50000mn) which neither ship could fit. Instead, it now warns you that it could be inefficient to fit propulsion modules to the ships and may give less of a speed boost than you expect.

Removed "Metallic" from being appended to the end of some Design Elements to make them uniform with others.

Fixed an issue that was causing respawn timers of certain combat anomalies to be too low.

• The combat anomaly sites spawned by the new sovereignty hub upgrades are intended to respawn faster than anomalies spawned by older upgrades when completed at average speeds, providing a better experience for the vast majority of players. In Equinox, the respawn timers for these sites were adjusted to begin counting down when the previous site spawned instead of when the previous site was completed, causing the effective wait time for the next site to be variable depending on how quickly you completed the previous site. This means that instant respawns of sites are intended to happen in some cases, but not when chaining sites extremely quickly using multiple ships and optimal tactics.

• In today's patch, we have partially addressed an issue that had been causing the intended cooldowns to not apply properly. This issue was most significantly affecting systems where the combat anomalies were being chain completed in a very short period due to hyper-optimized tactics with multiple characters. Respawn times can still be instant in some situations, especially when the sites are being run at average speeds, but they will no longer be instant every time when the sites are being completed very quickly.

Fixed an exception which occurred when closing the Sov Hub window from the corporation management window.

Fixed an issue which caused strategic upgrades installed in sovereignty hubs running in the new system to continue to provide their effects until downtime if the sovereignty hub was
