Winter Nexus

Winter Nexus is an event held from 5 December 2023 to 4 January 2024 (downtime to downtime) and includes Volatile Ice Storms which feature Wightstorm Sites, Login Campaign, the Winter Nexus Agency Challenge, the Yoiul Chilling Spree, and Yoiul Festival-themed Abyssal Proving Grounds.

Login campaign

Capsuleers must log in daily for 30 days from 05 December 2023 onwards to collect all rewards. A total of 125k Skill Points are available to Alpha.png Alpha clone accounts, while Omega.png Omega clone accounts have access to an additional 525k skill points and 26,500 EverMarks. The big reward is on day 23, so even if you do not manage to log in for all 30 days, as long as you manage those 23 days you will only miss out on some Boosters and Ice Storm Filaments.

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.

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.

Wightstorm Muster Point

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

Wightstorm Transit Site

Found within storms that originate in nullsec space appears to be guarded by intermediate strength 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.

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

Special game mechanics

All of the storm systems will feature a special set of environmental effects that reduce heat damage suffered by overheating modules and increases Thermal resistance.
