{{PatchNoteStatus|todo|Replacing the Customs Office, the Orbital Skyhook takes the form of an anchor, and will be required to extract resources from planets. It not only replaces but retains the functionality of the Customs Office as a resource interface for planetary industry, but also enables the extraction of new colony resources introduced with Equinox. Skyhooks can be attached to all planet types, but only within player-owned sovereign nullsec space, and only one can be placed in orbit of each planet.}}

{{PatchNoteStatus|todo|

* Power - Power is provided by the sun, with larger blue suns giving the most power, and small orange suns giving the least power, it is also provided by gas, storm and plasma planets.

* Workforce - Workforce is provided by the working population available on suitable planets, which are barren, oceanic and temperate planets.

** Workforce can be imported and exported via the Sov Hub through different solar systems that the same alliance controls, as long as the systems are directly connected together.

* Take Access to the Reagent Bay is governed by an ACL on the Skyhook, which can be set by players with the Station Config Manager role, Directors or the CEO of a corporation.

* Immature Reagents will be produced over time from Skyhooks anchored at lava and ice planets, and will slowly become mature, at which point they can be extracted by players. Skyhooks yield will gradually improve over time as their immature bay becomes larger. If a Skyhook is stolen from, then all the Mature Reagents will be taken, and the Immature Reagents will be lost, resetting and slowing down the improved ramping yield, making defending Skyhooks important.

== Territorial Claim Unit ==

* New TCUs can no longer be deployed or captured if they were previously deployed but not captured.

* Any ongoing TCU campaigns will be cancelled.

== Sov Upgrades ==

* {{PatchNoteStatus|todo|Sovereignty Upgrades provide the primary use for the new Colony Resources: Power, Workforce, and Reagents, as Colony Resources are required to online these upgrades.

** They will not, however, be able to be installed or functional until the Sov Transition is enabled on20 June 2024.- more on that later in the blog.}}

{{PatchNoteStatus|todo| (Planned for 20 June 2024)

* Once an alliance has deployed a new Sov Hub in Sov Hub mode or chosen to transition their Sov Hub from IHub Mode to Sov Hub Mode, they are then able to install the new upgrades listed above.

* Upgrades cannot be uninstalled once installed, they can be turned offline, but the only way to remove them is to have them self-destruct which capsuleers with the appropriate roles are able to do.

* Upgrades can be prioritized, capsuleers with the appropriate roles can do this. Higher priority upgrades are served first for available colony resources (energy, population and consumables). This gives the player control over which upgrades go offline first in case of resource shortfall where all installed upgrades do not have the necessary resources to run. An example of where a shortfall could happen would be a skyhook being destroyed.}}

With Equinox, we will continue to build out the library of player activities that Corporations can author Corporation Projects for.

* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Introduced three new contribution methods to the Corporation Projects:

This update increases the total number of contribution methods available to 15.
