Volatile Ice Storm
Volatile Ice Storms have begun to appear across highsec, lowsec, and nullsec space. These ice storms spread out across the stargate network two jumps from a central system, and occasionally move from system to system just like metaliminal storms. These storms provide bonuses to ship thermal resistances and module overheating for all capsuleers flying within them.
Sansha's Nation and Outer Ring Excavations have both mobilized to take advantage of the novel forms of stellar ice found within these storms.
Ice Storm Filaments
Ice Storm Filaments transport capsuleers to a System affected by the Volatile Ice Storm.
| Area / Ship Count | 1 | 5 | 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highsec |
DSHR-01H | DNCR-05H | PRNCR-10H |
| Lowsec |
DNNR-01L | BLTZN-05L | RDLF-10L |
| Nullsec |
VXN-01N | CMT-05N | CPD-10N |
Combat anomalies
Wightstorm combat anomalies have begun appearing within the Volatile Ice Storms. These sites are full of hostile Sansha's nation vessels, and CONCORD advises capsuleers to bring a battlecruiser or better when attempting to engage with these forces.
Wightstorm Forward Base
Found within storms that originate in highsec space appears to be guarded by the weakest Sansha fleets.
- Main article: Wightstorm Forward Base
Wightstorm Transit Site
Found within storms that originate in nullsec space appears to be guarded by intermediate strength Sansha fleets.

Wightstorm Muster Point
Found within storms that originate in lowsec space appears to be guarded by the strongest Sansha fleets.

Hacking sites
Wightstorm data signatures can be found within Volatile Ice Storms. These Sansha's Nation data sites require scan probes and data analyzer modules.
Wightstorm Comms Relay
Site is an ungated pocket with 1 can ~20km from the warp-in point.

Mining sites
Volatile Ice Field anomalies can also be discovered within Volatile Ice Storms. These fields of newly discovered stellar ice have recently been captured by ORE and Mordu's Legion forces who have driven away the Sansha harvesting fleets. These ice fields can be accessed through a special ORE-commandeered acceleration gate that only allows medium and small mining and hauling ships to enter (Expedition Frigates, Mining Barges, Exhumers, Haulers, Blockade Runners, Deep Space Transports, and the Porpoise).
The volatile ice found within these fields cannot be reprocessed by standard facilities, however Outer Ring Excavations has set up mobile ice collection operations within each of these ice fields, and is willing to trade with capsuleers who contribute to their mining operation. Capsuleers can trade seven units of volatile ice with the ORE representatives in the ice fields to receive a package of valuable salvage and items that ORE forces collected from the wrecks of Sansha ships.
Rumors suggest that other valuable Sansha salvage has frozen directly into some of the ice chunks and can be occasionally picked up along with the ice by normal mining activities.
Fading Volatile Ice Field
- Appear in high-sec
- Contains Faded Volatile Ice which can be exchanged for ORE Green Salvage packages. The packages, like containers have a capacity that is greater then their volume.
- Asteroids respawn
- Belt rats have been spotted
- When bookmarked, can still be jumped to when disappeared from the probe scan window
Fresh Volatile Ice Field
Friable Volatile Ice Field
Yoiul Chilling Spree (Daily Campaign)
The Chilling Spree will offer up 5,000 Skill Points for hitting fellow capsuleers with a snowball daily!
Abyssal Proving Grounds
If slinging snowballs at each other isn’t enough, you’ll also be able to go nose to nose with your fellow capsuleers in dedicated Abyssal Proving Grounds events, themed around the special Ice Storm environment! You’ll have new opportunities to overheat your modules for longer and get a bigger speed boost from afterburner modules too!
| 16th December - 19th December | Yoiul 1v1 T1 Cuisers |
| 30th December - 2nd January | Yoiul T1 destroyer 4-player free-for-all |
| 7th January - 8th January | 2v2 Battleships arena |
Note: The battleship 2v2 will feature a repeatable challenge that grants 100 million ISK for doing 10,000 damage in the arena.
Special game mechanics
All of these proving events will feature a special set of environmental effects that increase afterburner speed bonuses by 100% and reduce heat damage suffered by overheating modules by 50%.
