Capsuleer Day XXII: Nexus Reckoning is live! | |||
This in-game event runs untildowntime on May 15th, 2025. | |||
The Drifter Crisis is entering its final stages. In the aftermath of theRace for the Hives- where five factions secured control of Drifter wormholes - those same factions now call on capsuleers to help push their advantage against the Drifter threat. | |||
This event features high-end fleet encounters within the now-occupied Drifter wormholes, alongside a variety of content outside them. Players can expect challenging group content designed for coordinated fleets as well as more accessible activities in line with the seasonal content capsuleers are familiar with. | |||
The core gameplay loop revolves around engaging with sites outside the hives to gather materials and blueprints, which can be used to craft items that grant access to - and provide advantages within - the Drifter wormholes themselves. | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|A brand-new seasonal challenge trackis now available in The Agency. Complete challenges by engaging with a variety of content, including high-end fleet encounters, solo combat and hacking sites, mining and manufacturing. Progress through the reward track to unlock exclusive Drifter-themed SKINs, SKINR components, PLEX and SOCT ships!}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Daily login rewardsare also active throughout the event! Log in each day to claim Drifter-themed SKINs and SKINR components, boosters, EverMarks, and up to 650,000 Skill Points. Make sure to log in daily from now until May 15th to collect them all!}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|All 5 Drifter wormholes are now under the control of a Race for the Hives winner.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Their grip on these systems is tenuous, relying on the aid of capuleers to help put an end to the Drifter's machinations. As control wanes, the presence of the Drifters increases. Keep the systems out of their hands at all costs!}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Within the occupied systems, the Drifter Hive sites have been replaced with theReckoning: Labyrinth Complex.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Within these sites, a fleet must traverse a randomised path of increasingly difficult challenges to reach their goal. Only through the labyrinth can the nexus be accessed. Keep your eyes peeled and be prepared for some surprises! For those who wish to reach the deepest depths of the maze, a group of10 pilotsis recommended. Up to and includingT2 Battlecruisersare permitted within.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|The Reckoning: Nexus Pointis the true test for those who wish to organise against the Drifter forces. While it promises great rewards to the well-prepared, the threats within may push capsuleers to their limits. A group of15 pilotsis recommended. Like the Labyrinth Complex,T2 Battlecruisersare the largest ship type permitted within this site.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Capsuleers can deliver items tooccupation siteswithin Drifter wormhole systems in return for faction-based rewards!}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|New landmark sitesmarking the old Drifter Hive locations have been added to each Drifter wormhole system.}} | |||

* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|New Ore Siteswill be spawning in high, low, null security space and Pochven. Refine Tyranite into Eleutrium to be traded for hive system Filaments, Volatile Boosters, and used to manufacture Emission Amplifiers and Limiters.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Sleeper Drone Manufacturing Siteshave begun appearing across New Eden. These hostile-infested zones are designed for solo Capsuleers seeking a challenge.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Reckoning: Sleeper Forgesites can be found in high-security space and present a lower threat level, though aBattlecruiseris still recommended for safety.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Reckoning: Sleeper Foundrysites found in low-security space are significantly more dangerous, and Capsuleers are advised to bring at least aHeavy Assault Cruiserbefore engaging.}} | |||
Sleeper relic siteshave also begun emerging across New Eden. Reckoning: Sleeper Reserve(high-security space) andReckoning: Drifter Stockpile(low-security space) conceal valuable relics waiting to be uncovered. | |||
Skilled and well-equipped capsuleers—armed withscan probesandrelic analyzers—can hack these sites to claim their hidden treasures. | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|While the Drifter Crisis Interstellar Events are now gone, theirCrisis: Field RescueandCrisis: Observatory Infiltrationsites can now be found across Empire-controlled systems.}} | |||

** {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Rogue Drone combat anomalies spawned randomly in highsec and Mercoxit mining sites spawned from sovereignty prospecting upgrades will both cluster in unvisited systems less often than before, which will have the effect of increasing the practical visibility of both sets of sites during normal gameplay.}} | |||

==== Graphics ==== | |||
In this release we are bringing a GPU Driven Pipeline to EVE, allowing for better performance in busy scenes. Read more in the devblog here: [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/eve-evolved-more-fps-for-less-cpu EVE Evolved: More FPS for less CPU] | |||
To accomplish this, we have made several major low level changes to our graphics engine, Trinity. We have tested this in 3 separate masstests with hundreds of people, along with internal testing across many different configurations, but if you notice anything that looks wrong please press F12 in the client and file a bug report. | |||
We strongly recommend that you update your graphics card drivers to the latest available version. | |||
==== Balancing ==== | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|🤝 The Medium Mercoxit Mining Crystal Optimization I has been renamed to Medium Deep Core Mining Optimization I and now provides a bonus to all Deep Core Miners rather than just Mercoxit Mining Crystals specifically.

==== Localization ==== | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Paragon Hub - Targeted only at me is now Exclusive Listings.}} | |||

(Note: Pinned stations will not always be shown if they don't meet the criteria of the search, i. PatchNoteStatus|tbd|e. you have a caldari navy station pinned but search for federation navy).}} | |||
