Patch Notes For 2021-05-07.1

Features & Changes

Events:

• The Capsuleer Day XVIII Abyssal Proving Ground event has begun! This proving ground will be available until 11:00 UTC on May 11.
  
  
  
  
  • The format for this special proving ground event for EVE's 18th birthday is an 18 player T1 cruiser free-for-all! What could possibly go wrong?

  • This special proving ground has a repeatable challenge in the Capsuleer Day season which provides ISK for entering the proving ground and dealing at least 5000 damage to other players, helping subsidize the cost of T1 cruisers in the event

Patch Notes For 2021-05-06.1 - Capsuleer Day XVIII

Features & Changes

Events:

• The Capsuleer Day XVIII event has begun, celebrating EVE Online's 18th birthday! This event runs from today until 11:00 UTC on May 18.
  
  
  
  
  • The Equilibrium of Mankind cultists have been exposed as the instigators of deadly attacks across empire space, using capital ships and hacked access to the highsec cyno network.
  
  
  • EoM Rogue Capital Shipyard are a new limited time combat site that can be found in highsec, lowsec, nullsec, and w-space. Capsuleers are encouraged to bring ships of at least Battlecruiser power level or higher to face the cultists in these locations.
  
  
  • EoM Cyno Network Spoofing Facilities are a new limited time hacking site that can also be found in highsec, lowsec, nullsec, and w-space. These locations are where the EoM have gained access to the ability to open up cynosural fields in highsec space.
  
  
  • The easiest versions of both these sites can be found in highsec, with nullsec and w-space sharing a medium difficulty site with increased rewards and lowsec containing the hardest sites with the greatest rewards.
  
  
  • Completing these sites provides points for a seasonal reward track with new exclusive XVIII skins
  
  
  • Loot from these sites includes overseer's effects, limited time cerebral accelerators, new skins, fireworks, special limited time needlejack filaments, and limited time glamourex standings boosters!
  
  


• A new Capsuleer Day daily gift celebration has begun, running from today until May 18. Gifts include hundreds of thousands of skill points, new XVIII skins, and SoCT ships!

Exploration:

• The new monument to the Massacre at M2-XFE has finished construction and can now be visited in-game.
  
  
  
  
  • This majestic structure stands as a testament to the tenacity of all Capsuleers from any frigate pilot to the 257 titan pilots who lost their ships gloriously in battle.
