Patch Notes for 2024-07-18.1

Features & Changes

Mining Upgrades

🤝 We're making several adjustments to the mining sites provided by the new Equinox sovereignty upgrades based on player and CSM feedback over the last few weeks. We're increasing the quantity of ore available in all of the sites, especially for the Zydrine and Megacyte Prospecting Array upgrades which competed with the existing colossal asteroid cluster site the most directly. We're also combining many of the smaller asteroids in all of the sites so that the size of each asteroid is large enough to take multiple cycles from strip miners to mine out. We're also completely overhauling the mining escalation by making it far more likely for players to get the escalation, more than doubling it in size and replacing the existing asteroids with Spodumain, Abyssal Asteroids and Mercoxit. So it will now be vastly more exciting and the most rewarding mining site in the game.

• To Be Determined   - All Prospecting Array upgrades
  • Several asteroids have been combined so that the majority of asteroids in each location require multiple strip miner cycles to mine out.
• Updated - Isogen Prospecting Array (Griemeer Deposit)
  • Total Ore Volume increased from 2,631,000 m3 to 3,000,000 m3.
• Updated - Megacyte Prospecting Array (Ueganite Deposit)
  • Total Ore Volume increased from 1,982,287 m3 to 4,000,000 m3.
• Updated - Mexallon Prospecting Array (Kylxium Deposit)
  • Total Ore Volume increased from 2,040,000 m3 to 3,000,000m3.
• Updated - Nocxium Prospecting Array (Noxcite Nocxite Deposit)
  • Total Ore Volume increased from 2,100,008 m3 to 3,000,000 m3.
• Updated - Pyerite Prospecting Array (Mordunium Deposit)
  • Total Ore Volume increased from 4,500,000 m3 to 6,000,000 m3.
  • Rebalanced the ore content of the site to a smaller overall percentage of Mordunium asteroids and more Omber and Hedbergite to improve the average ISK/hr of mining in the site.
• Updated - Tritanium Prospecting Array (Veldspar Deposit)Total Ore Volume increased from 3,000,000 m3 to 4,000,000 m3.
• Updated - Zydrine Prospecting Array (Hezorime Deposit)
  • Total ore Volume increased from 2,015,799 m3 to 5,970,000 m3.
  • The size of several asteroids have been vastly increased to make this site very comparable to the Colossal Asteroid Cluster, with 24+ asteroids bigger than 100,000m3 and a behemoth 600,000m3 asteroid.
• To Be Determined   - Mining Escalation
  • Shrouded Asteroid Cluster has been overhauled and is now the Interstitial Ore Deposit.
  • The chance of acquiring the mining escalation has been greatly increased.
  • Total Ore Volume increased from 3,750,000 to 8,480,000 m3.
  • All asteroids have been replaced with Spodumain, Abyssal Asteroids and a small amount of Mercoxit.

Combat Upgrades

🤝 We're making a few tweaks to the combat upgrades provided by the Minor and Major Threat Detection Arrays. Firstly, we're greatly decreasing the maximum possible respawn time for the sites spawned from their upgrades from 20 minutes to 12 minutes. For context, the old sovereignty upgrade sites respawned between 20 to 12 minutes based on the level of upgrade that spawned them, for an average respawn time of 16 minutes. This now means that there is no single case where a site from the old system could respawn faster than the same site in the new system, and the maximum possible respawn time is now 25% faster than the old average respawn time before you even factor in the improved respawning logic that the new sites use - where the time the site was spawned is used to determine the respawning time, rather than when the site was completed. Additionally, we're also increasing the number of combat sites provided by most upgrades by 1, and also increasing the expiration time for the new capital focused escalations based on feedback we got from players struggling to complete or sell them in time due to fatigue/logistics of moving capitals.

• To Be Determined   - Capital focused escalations (Shielded/Infested Starbase and the Capital Staging/Hive sites)
  • Escalation Expiration timer from 24 hours to 72 hours.
• To Be Determined   - Minor and Major Threat Detection Arrays.
  • Maximum Respawn Time reduced from 20 minutes to 12 minutes
  • An additional combat anomaly has been added to most upgrades
• * Adjusted anomalies spawned by Major Threat Detection Arrays in drone space to increase the amount of Drone Horde and Drone Patrol sites by replacing some or all of the Squad and Herd sites.}}

The new sets of sites spawned by each upgrade tier in each security band are as follows:

• To Be Determined   - Non-Drone Regions See CCP patch notes for details.
• To Be Determined   - Drone Regions See CCP patch notes for details.

Patch Notes For 2024-06-27.1

Features & Changes

Sovereignty Transition

To Be Determined   -

• Check out this devblog for more information on Sovereignty Updates: Transition & Upgrades
• Players with the appropriate roles in the corp which owns the Sovereignty Hub (Station Manager, Director or CEO) will now be able to choose to transition their sovereignty hub over to the new system.
• All outstanding bills will need to be paid for a sov hub before it can transition.
• When choosing to transition, a snapshot is taken of all of the current Strategic Upgrades installed in the sov hub (such as cynosural suppression and advanced logistics network) and these will remain active and functional until the next downtime, this means that players can transition to the new system and won't have to worry about structures such as Tenebrex Cyno Jammers and Ansiblex Jump Gates going offline after transitioning, and they'll stay online the entire time if they're able to install and turn on the new equivalent upgrades before the next downtime.
• All currently installed Military and Industrial upgrades will also continue to provide their sites until the next downtime. It should be noted that the new mining and combat upgrades will not have their sites appear until the downtime after they have been installed.
• When a player chooses to transfer over to the new system, all of the old currently installed upgrades in the sovereignty hub will be moved to the HQ station delivery hangar of the corp which owns the sov hub for future reimbursement, when the sov hub also usurps the sovereignty claim from the TCU, the TCU will also be returned to the owning corporations HQ system delivery hangar.
• It's no longer possible for old sovereignty upgrades to be manufactured again. In the coming months, reimbursement will come to players who own the old upgrades, TCUs and their blueprints, this may come in the form of NPC buy orders, updating the refining costs to 100% build cost or converting old types into new types where it makes sense, more firm details will be provided at a later date.}}

Transitory Structure Rig Amnesty

To Be Determined   -

• All currently existing structures in sov nullsec will temporarily be able to remove their rigs without destroying them during the transition period which is from now until the next expansion which is scheduled for November.
• This will only apply to rigs on structures anchored before 27 June.
• Only players with the Station Manager role (Or Director/CEO) of the corporation which owns the structure will be able to take the rigs off.
• Special rigs which are fitted to any remaining old nullsec converted outposts which became the special faction fortizars are not able to be removed, while other normal rigs can be removed from faction fortizars.
• This only applies to structures in sov nullsec which can be claimed by player alliances. (even if it's unclaimed or owned by a different alliance). This does not apply to structures which are located in other 'lawless' systems with a negative security rating such as NPC Nullsec or Wormhole space.

Upgrade Balance Adjustments

• To Be Determined   - Adjusted the power provided by suns, so that the lowest power suns now start at 500 TW, rather than at 150 TW, the amount of power that the best suns still provide is 1000 TW. Suns that had power values between 150 TW and 1000 TW have had their amount provided increased to match the new scaling between 500 and 1000 TW of power.
• To Be Determined   - The power, workforce and reagent costs of several upgrades have been adjusted

• To Be Determined   - Sharp Hezorime
  • Volume reduced from 8m3 to 5m3

Additionally, all mining upgrades will now also have a small chance of spawning a Large Mercoxit Cluster Site.

These changes will make the new ore types more valuable than before, reducing the volume of the ores will make them provide higher minerals per hour when mined (Because mining yields are based on m3) and therefore higher ISK per hour.

• To Be Determined   - TCUs no longer provide a flat 25% bonus to fuel bays of control towers.
• To Be Determined   - TCUs no longer provide an evemail notification to the corporation which owns it when a control tower is anchored in their space
