+== Patch Notes for 2024-12-05.1 ==
+=== Features & Changes ===
+=== Cinematic Ship Introduction ===
+We are thrilled to announce the Cinematic Ship Introduction to make your experience of boarding a ship for the first time more immersive, exciting, and memorable.
+Acquiring a new ship is a significant achievement and this feature transforms this milestone into a visual cinematic moment, highlighting the ship's design, scale and importance within the game.
+==== Key Updates ====
+Players have full control over how they interact with this feature.
+* Skip Options: Skip the cinematic or turn off the auto-play completely in the settings.
+* Replay Feature: Replay the cinematic while docked by clicking on in the ship context menu, especially useful for showcasing new SKINs or upgrades.
+=== Events ===
+Winter Nexus Event!
+* {{PatchNoteStatus|done|The Winter Nexus event has returned to New Eden! This ingame event will run until downtime on January 7th 2025.}}
+* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|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.
+** 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 bring a battlecruiser ship or better when attempting to engage with these forces. The Wightstorm Forward Base site found within storms that originate in highsec space appears to be guarded by the weakest Sansha fleets, with the nullsec Wightstorm Transit Site posing an intermediate challenge and the lowsec-based Wightstorm Muster Point offering the greatest challenge for the greatest rewards.
+** Wightstorm data signatures can also be found within Volatile Ice Storms. These Sansha's Nation data sites can be hacked by enterprising capsuleers equipped with scan probes and data analyzer modules.
+** 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, Industrial Ships, 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.
+** Rewards that can be found by capsuleers within all of these sites include valuable Overseers' Effects, hundreds of festive ship SKINs, limited-time Cerebral Accelerators, character apparel, special Sansha's nation combat boosters, Sansha's Nation pirate implant blueprints, and rare faction modules.}}
+* Limited-time Ice Storm filaments are now available that will instantly transport capsuleers into one of these volatile ice storms. Each filament clearly states in its description how many capsuleers it can transport and whether it will take them to a highsec, lowsec, or nullsec storm.
+* {{PatchNoteStatus|todo|A new Yoiul Festival seasonal challenge track can be found within the Agency. These challenges can be completed over the course of the event by engaging with the combat, hacking, and ice mining sites within the Volatile Ice Storms. Completing these challenges will provide players with points that will progress them along a reward track consisting of new exclusive Aurora Universalis skins, SKINR nanocoatings and patterns, PLEX, Sansha combat boosters, ice storm jump filaments, skill points, and a Cerebral Accelerator.}}
+* {{PatchNoteStatus|done|A new set of daily login gifts are available over the course of the Winter Nexus event including snowballs, ice storm jump filaments, new Aurora Universalis skins, SKINR nanocoatings and patterns, Sansha combat boosters, EverMarks and up to 650.000 skill points. Players can receive all of these rewards by logging in everyday between now and January 7th.}}
+* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|A new and exclusive SKINR pattern available on the Paragon Hub for the duration of the event.}}
+* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|In addition to the above fantastic gifts, an expert system has been included which will allow all players, including alpha accounts, the ability to fly an Endurance and fit an Ice Mining Laser to mine ice for 4 days.}}
+* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Winter Nexus Themed Character Select.}}
+=== Mercenary Dens ===
+* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Mercenary Tactical Operation sites now show players progress through Objectives in the Info Panel.}}
+=== Observatory Flashpoints ===
+* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Increased the radius of Stellar Observatories to reduce the likelihood of colliding with it while orbiting.}}
+=== User Interface ===
+* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Added the option to UNDO and REDO in studio SKINR.}}
+* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Improved highlight animation for new design elements in your SKINR collection.}}
