2010 Holiday Ship : The CONCORD Echelon
9 December 2010, 3:03 pm

It's that time of year again, when people get into the spirit of giving, even the people 23,000 years into the future.  CONCORD has joined in the seasonal festivities by packing its hangars with a very special gift for the capsuleers of New Eden.  December 14^th, the pilots of EVE Online will receive the latest ship to roll off of the CONCORD production line - the Echelon.

Constructed in secrecy, the Echelon is a minor masterpiece of engineering, integrating otherwise incomprehensible Sansha technology into a frigate-class capsuleers vessel. The advanced cryptographic processors on board provide superior hacking capabilities for use on most known password-secured devices. However, the true beauty of the Echelon is in the adaptive synchronization of capsuleers and Sansha codebreaking components, creating a system predicted to  give capsuleers an edge over even the strongest of the Nation's encryption locks.

 

Beginning Dec 14th 2010, you will be able to redeem the new holiday ship on your account login screen. You can then assign it to a particular character and CONCORD will deliver it to your hangar bay. You will be able to redeem the holiday ship once per active (not trial) account and will no longer be available after January 3^rd, 2011, so make sure you log in to receive yours.

Here‘s how to redeem it:

• Log into the EVE Online client.
• At the character selection screen there will be a Redeem Items      button in the lower right corner. Select the character you wish to receive      the Echelon and press the Redeem Items button.

• Check the box next to the Echelon and the Purloined Sansha Codebreaker in the confirmation window and      press the Redeem Selected Items button.
• You will receive a confirmation window that informs you which      character is receiving the Echelon and in which station it will be      deposited. They are always deposited at the character's current location. The      ship cannot be redeemed if the receiving character is not docked in an NPC      station.
• Click Yes to accept the confirmation window if you are happy with      your decision
• Log in to that character and jump in your new ship!
• Special Note: You may only make one      transaction through this system, which also governs PLEX, per 24 hours.
