Developer Comment:
  These sites are the first set in an ongoing project to renovate and add landmarks across New Eden reflecting both player history and the NPC lore. Huge thanks to all the players who responded to our prompt for landmark ideas on the forums!

Modules & Rigs:

• Renamed the "Standup L-Set EW Expert System I and II" Large Structure Combat Rig to "Standup L-Set EW Command System I and II".

Developer Comment:
  This deployable item will bind to the fleet of the deploying character upon launch. Once activation completes, it will act as a regular cyno beacon for that fleet for the lifetime of the deployable, regardless of any fleet changes of the deploying character.

  • Inside the Market for ships
  
  
  • Ship Tooltips
