Patch Notes For 2021-07-08.1

Features & Changes

Events:

• The Minmatar Liberation Day event has begun! This event celebrates the anniversary of when freedom was secured for billions during the Great Rebellion. The festivities across Republic space and Great Wildlands will run until downtime on July 20th.


• The centerpiece of the Liberation Day celebrations this year takes the form of a friendly tribal tournament open to Capsuleers of all races - The Liberation Games. Pick one of the Seven Tribes to support and get involved in exciting new events happening all across Minmatar space.
  
  
  
  • Rewards include boosters, SKINs unique to your tribe, and a special tribal tattoo.
  
  
  • Most Liberation Games activities that you take part in will add points to your chosen tribe's point pool. At the end of the event the tribe that received the most support from capsuleers will take ownership of a newly constructed station in Pator alongside a monument to their victory. This new station will then change ownership after each Liberation Games event to the winners of the most recent contest.
  
  
  
  


• New Liberation Games historical reenactment combat sites are appearing within Minmatar Republic highsec and non-FW lowsec space, as well as within the Great Wildlands.
  
  
  
  • These sites use advanced drones to recreate two important battles of the Great Rebellion, the Escape from Auner of BYC19 and the Mahti Jailbreak of BYC18
  
  
  • Loot from these sites includes tokens that can be sold to Minmatar NPC stations for ISK, new and returning SKINs, limited time Minmatar combat boosters, Leopard BPCs, and limited time Cerebral Accelerators.
  
  
  • These combat sites only allow entry for empire T1 and Navy Faction Cruisers, T1 destroyers, T2 frigates, and empire T1 and Navy Faction frigates. These new combat sites are especially well suited to be completed in Minmatar cruisers and Assault Frigates.
  
  
  
  


• New Liberation Games data sites are appearing Minmatar Republic highsec and non-FW lowsec space, as well as within the Great Wildlands.


• A special lore tour challenges capsuleers to travel between key locations in the history of the Great Rebellion and the history of the Republic. Beware that some of these locations are within lowsec space, so only fly what you can afford to lose and keep your eyes open.


• Daily Login Gifts are available to all capsuleers including skillpoints, skins, Minmatar Republic apparel, and a special 4 day Minmatar Liberation Day Expert System


• A special warp velocity bonus will apply to all capsuleers travelling within the regions of Heimatar, Metropolis, Molden Heath, and Great Wildlands.


• The Republic Fleet parades have returned and can be found within the Pator, Rens, Hek, Eram, Teonusude, Altrinur, and Hjoramold systems. Capsuleers can receive skill points for completing daily challenges to visit these parades and launch fireworks alongside the other revelers.


• Republic Mining Expedition sites have returned and can be found within the Ani, Odengsolf, Almur, and 730-KH constellations for the duration of this event


• To celebrate Liberation Day, new Fleet Ordnance Spike SKINs for the Vigil, Talwar, and Cyclone have been added to the Republic Fleet Ordnance loyalty point store

• A themed abyssal proving ground will be running from July 16th to 20th, featuring a 4-player Rifter free-for-all format with a special bonus that increases the effectiveness of overheating most modules.


• Tune in to the CCP Twitch channel on Saturday July 10th at 15:30 EVE Time for a Minmatar trivia quiz stream with amazing prizes!

Patch Notes For 2021-06-22.1

Features & Changes

Gameplay:

Enter the Portal is now live on Tranquility!

Developer Comment:

Thanks everyone for the energized discussion about the Enter the Portal update. Based on your feedback from the testing on the Singularity Test Server, we increased the cargo capacity and max targeting range for all Black Ops ships. The number of ships eligible to jump using the conduit jump also increased to 30.

All Black Ops battleships now have the ability to 'Conduit Jump' when fitted with a Covert Jump Portal Generator.

• Conduit Jumps provide a new group jump to a destination from the Anchor Ship (the Black Ops battleship) plus all nearby eligible fleet members in a single, instantaneous event.


• Eligible ships are any that are capable of travelling through a covert jump portal. Black Ops Battleship, Blockade Runners, Covert Ops Frigates, Force Recon Ships, Stealth Bombers, and Strategic Cruisers (with the covert subsystem)


• 🤝Up to 30 eligible passenger ships may be included in the conduit jump, at a cost of 1000 isotopes per lightyear.


• Travel via Conduit Jumps has similar requirements to normal portal travel (cannot be cloaked, warp-disrupted, or in a state of transition such as exploding etc.). Additionally, further restrictions apply for conduit jumps for passengers:
  
  
  
  • Passenger Ship must be in same fleet as Anchor Ship.
  
  
  • Passenger Ship must be within 10 km of Anchor Ship.
  
  
  
  


• If the Anchor Ship fails any of the required checks, the Group Jump cannot be activated at all. If a Passenger Ship fails any of the required checks, the Group Jump will proceed, but that individual Passenger Ship will be left behind.

Modules:

• Increased the number of chained targets from 5 to 10 for all Vorton Projectors.
