Patch Notes for 2024-10-10.1

Features & Changes

Miscellaneous

• To Be Determined   - A new engineering structure with an item trader has appeared near the Shrouded Structure in Zarzakh.

Science & Industry

• To Be Determined   - The magmatic gas cost to run a Metenox moon drill has increased from 55 to 88 per hour. With more gas entering the economy, and the price of low-end moon materials such as R4s dropping in value, we want to increase the fuel cost of Metenox Moon Drills to raise the floor on what is profitable and create increased sinks and demands to meet the new supply of Magmatic Gas.

Patch Notes for 2024-10-3.1

Features & Changes

Events

• To Be Determined   - The Crimson Harvest has begun! This Blood Raiders themed event runs until downtime on Tuesday November 5th 2024.
• To Be Determined   - Limited time combat and hacking sites are appearing all over Highsec, Lowsec, Nullsec, W-space, and Pochven, belonging to the opposing forces of the Blood Raider Covenant and the Order of St Tetrimon.
• To Be Determined   - Crimson Gauntlet and Tetrimon Base combat sites can be found in most areas of space. These sites should be approached with caution, and capsuleers are advised to fly a battlecruiser, battleship, heavy assault cruiser, or even more powerful vessels if they wish to investigate these locations. Rewards for looting the battleship NPCs found at the end of the sites include items that can be traded for ISK, SKINs, boosters, apparel and more!
• To Be Determined   - Crimson Harvest Network Node and Tetrimon Network Node data sites are also appearing across New Eden. These hacking sites contain network node structures that can be accessed for more great rewards!
• To Be Determined   - The Blood Raiders are capitalizing on the chaos erupting all over New Eden and are setting up more advanced bases in the warzone, Tetrimon loyalists are also deploying in the area to match their forces. These advanced versions of the combat and hacking sites can only be found within the areas containing the most heated fighting between Blood Raider and Tetrimon forces: the Blood Raider controlled systems within the Delve region and within the Eugidi, Angils and Essin constellations of the Metropolis region. These advanced sites are rarer and more challenging than the standard versions of the sites but they provide much greater rewards. Bringing a friend or two helps reduce the risk immensely, but beware of other capsuleers who may be searching for the same loot!
• To Be Determined   - The most elusive and valuable strongholds of the Blood Raiders and Order of Tetrimon can only be found by obtaining a rare escalation from the advanced combat sites.
• To Be Determined   - Both the Blood Raiders and the Order of Tetrimon are willing to reward capsuleers who attack their foes and hack their stash. Each character can choose between two options for the Agency challenges and reward track for this event. You will receive points for shooting and hacking the opposing side to the one you choose in the agency, and you will receive challenges themed around your chosen faction. Be aware that although you will only receive agency challenges and points for shooting and hacking the opposing side to the one you chose, there isno penaltyfor hitting both sides and taking the loot from both their sites.
• To Be Determined   - Every day of the Crimson Harvest will bring devilish login rewards. Alpha and Omega players get separate rewards, with Omegas enjoying both sets every day, and upgrading at any time during the event unlocks all previous Omega rewards. The tasty treats on offer include boosters, SKINs, SKINR nanocoatings and patterns, EverMarks, a generous amount of skill points and more. Get prepared and plan ahead, as not only will there be rewards given every day to those logging in, the 25th login during Crimson Harvest will be rewarded with skill points for Omega and for Alpha capsuleers.

Patch Notes for 2024-10-1.1

Features & Changes

Sovereignty

To Do   -

• Skyhooks have now been updated to Upwell's latest firmware → Equinox Update: Enhanced Skyhooks
  • Skyhooks now have a Secure Bay and a Surplus Bay, rather than an Immature and Mature Bay.
  • The Secure bay can be accessed by players on the ACL at any time, and 50% of all the materials harvested from the Skyhook enter into the secure bay.
  • The Surplus bay can only be accessed through the Skyhook raiding gameplay, and contains the other 50% of the reagents generated.
  • There is no longer any waste when raiding a Skyhook, you get 100% of the surplus bay contents on a successful raid, the secure bay is not affected.
  • The Skyhook Reagent silo is now only vulnerable to being attacked during a 1 hour interval, every 3-4 days, the time period for the surplus bay is loosely based on the 6 hour exit window chosen by the Skyhook owner for their reinforcement timer.
    • It should be noted that while it is likely for a Skyhook theft event to come out in a timezone favorable to the defender, Skyhooks theft events can actually happen at any time of the day. Skyhooks use a gaussian distribution to determine the next vulnerability window.

For image see Patch Notes - Version 22.01

• In this example, a Skyhook has a 68.2% chance to come out sometime in the 17:00 to 23:00 window set by the defenders, but it does have also have a chance to come out at anytime of the day. There is a 27.2% chance that it will instead come out at some time in the 3 hour window before or after their preferred time, a 4.2% chance it will come out 6 hours before or after their preferred 6 hour long time window, or 0.2% chance to end up at a time in the completely opposite timezone.

To Do   -

• If a Skyhook is not raided during it's 1 hour interval, then it will reschedule a new time, and the materials in the surplus bay will remain inside and effectively roll over, meaning the next time it's vulnerable, if it was raided, it would have 6-8 days worth of reagents inside and so on.
• If a Skyhook is successfully raided, then its vulnerability will end early and reschedule, so any vulnerable Skyhook you raid will be guaranteed to have 3-4 days worth of reagents in it at minimum.
• If the Skyhook owner changes the reinforcement timer of a Skyhook, then the current scheduled vulnerability will not change, and the new reinforcement timer will only have an influence on the Skyhook when the next Skyhook theft vulnerability window is chosen.
• Skyhook owners can no longer offline or turn off Skyhooks on reagent planets (Ice/Lava).
• Skyhook owners with the Station Manager or Director roles can see the vulnerability timers of their Skyhooks remotely using the my Skyhook page on the structure browser.}}
• Skyhooks which are currently vulnerable can be seen by any player using the world map Vulnerable Skyhooks filter or by using the Colony Resources page in the Agency and choosing to view theft vulnerable Skyhooks.
• All Players can also see the vulnerability schedule of a Skyhook if they warp to the Skyhook grid.
• The Link period for players who are on the Skyhook Reagent ACL has been reduced to 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes.
• Skyhooks will immediately alert everyone within 2 jumps of a Skyhook if a "friendly theft" is activated, just like the notification which would happen if a regular raid was at the 5 minute mark.
• Skyhooks have a 50% chance to drop all of the contents in their Secure and Surplus bays when killed (just like regular player ships).}}

Patch Notes for 2024-09-19.1

Features & Changes

Industry:

In Yesterday's patch, we reduced the inputs and outputs of the Genetic Safeguard, Genetic Lock Preserver, Genetic Structure Repairer and Genetic Mutation Inhibitor blueprints by a factor of 20, but did not change the blueprint manufacturing or copying attributes, which may have unintentionally throttled the construction of these items more on job time. We are, therefore, making the following changes:

• To Be Determined   - Genetic Lock Preserver Blueprint
  • Max Runs for blueprint copies increased from 40 to 400.
  • Manufacturing time reduced from 16000 seconds to 1600 seconds.
  • Copying time reduced from 12800 seconds to 1280 seconds.
• To Be Determined   - Genetic Safeguard Filter Blueprint
  • Max Runs for blueprint copies from 10 to 100.
  • Manufacturing time reduced from 32000 seconds to 3200 seconds.
  • Copying time reduced from 25600 seconds to 2560 seconds.
• To Be Determined   - Genetic Structure Repairer Blueprint
  • Max Runs for blueprint copies from 40 to 400.
  • Manufacturing time reduced from 16000 seconds to 1600 seconds.
  • Copying time reduced from 12800 seconds to 1280 seconds .
• To Be Determined   - Genetic Mutation Inhibitor Blueprint
  • Max Runs for blueprint copies from 40 to 400.
  • Manufacturing time reduced from 16000 seconds to 1600 seconds.
  • Copying time reduced from 12800 seconds to 1280 seconds.

PVE

• To Be Determined   - Only characters within 100km of the Horizon Breach Engine will be considered eligible for payouts in Horizon Siege Point sites.

Patch Notes for 2024-09-18.1

Features & Changes

Industry

• *Several adjustments have been made to Capital Ship Manufacturing. The goal of these changes are streamlining capital manufacturing so that it's easier for smaller producers to get involved as well as a slight reduction to the cost of building capital ships.*
  • To Be Determined   - Fulleroferrocene, PPD Fullerene Fibers, Fullerene Intercalated Graphite, Methanofullerene, Lanthanum Metallofullerene and Scandium Metallofullerene have been removed from Capital Construction Components.
  • To Be Determined   - The amounts of Isogen and Mexallon required for construction of Capital Clone Vat Bay, Capital Doomsday Weapon Mount and Capital Jump Bridge Array have been reduced by 10%.
  • To Be Determined   - The amounts of Fulleroferrocene, PPD Fullerene Fibers, Fullerene Intercalated Graphite, Methanofullerene, Lanthanum Metallofullerene and Scandium Metallofullerene required for the manufacture of FTL Interlinks have been significantly increased.
  • To Be Determined   - Reinforced Carbon Fibre, Megacyte, Zydrine, Fullerides, Noxium, Isogen, Tritanium, Mexallon, Pyerite, Phenolic Composites and Racial Carbides have been removed from the manufacture of FTL Interlinks.
  • To Be Determined   - The amount of Auto-Integrity Preservation Seals and Life Support Backup Units needed to manufacture Titans are increased by 100%.
  • To Be Determined   - The amount of Trigger Neurolink Conduits needed to manufacture Titans are increased by 50%.
  • To Be Determined   - The amount of Capital Core Regulators needed to manufacture Titans is increased by 25%.
  • To Be Determined   - Genetic Lock Preserver Blueprints, Genetic Structure Repairer Blueprints, Genetic Mutation Inhibitor Blueprints and Genetic Safeguard Filter Blueprints have had their input materials reduced to 5 and output reduced to 1 (reduced by a factor of 20 for both) to make it easier to create them in smaller batches.
• A small amount of tweaks has been made to Tech 1 Battleship Blueprints to bring down their current costs to make them more affordable, reduce the current Isogen bottleneck (which currently makes up almost 50% of their cost), and also make them more cost efficient than Navy Battleships which currently cost only 20-25% more than Tech 1 Battleships.
  • To Be Determined   - Adjustments made to Tech 1 Battleships (does not include Navy or Pirate blueprints)
    • The amount of Isogen required is reduced from 400,000 to 200,000.*
    • The amount of Nocxium requires is increased from 12,000 to 24,000.*
    • This represents, at the time of writing, an approximate 75 million ISK reduction to the cost of producing a Tech 1 Battleship from a ME:0 blueprint in an NPC station.
  • To Be Determined   - Adjustments made to the Scorpion
    • The amount of Isogen required is reduced from 300,000 to 150,000.
    • The amount of Nocxium required is increased from 9,000 to 18,000.
• We have also made some adjustments to the cost to produce Marauders and Black Ops. The main intention here is to keep their current price mostly the same or slightly higher, since both Black Ops and Marauders are incredibly strong right now and we don't want to unintentionally make them even more powerful by lowering their price. We are, therefore, increasing the amount of Reactor Units used in their blueprints, to make it so that they use primarily more R64 moon materials. This means that controlling valuable moons is more important for the production of Tech 2 Battleships.
• To Be Determined   - Adjustments made to Marauder Blueprints
  • The amount of Reactor Units required is increased from 225 to 675.
  • This represents a cost increase of approximately 60 million ISK at the time of writing these patch notes.
• To Be Determined   - Adjustments made to Black Ops Blueprints
  • The amount of Reactor Units required is increased from 150 to 450.
  • This represents a cost increase of approximately 40 million ISK at the time of writing these patch notes. Note that because the cost reduction of the Tech 1 Battleships used for production, the cost should remain roughly the same. It is possible that higher demand or market speculation for R64 materials may increase the costs in the future.

LP Stores

• To Be Determined   - New LP Store Offers have been added for military corporation LP stores - offering Navy Ship BPCs in exchange for LP and Nexus Chips, rather than LP and ISK.

Smartbombs have undergone a full balance pass.

• All smartbombs in the game have been brought up to parity with the current EMP Smartbomb stats, which were better than the other damage types.
  • To Be Determined   - Meta "Named" Smartbomb modules are now 'Compact' and use less powergrid.
  • To Be Determined   - All compact meta smartbomb damage types now use the same 20% reduced CPU requirements that EM Smartbombs have.
  • To Be Determined   - Added Storyline variations for the Kinetic and Thermal Smartbomb damage types which were missing before.
    • Players can obtain blueprint copies for these smartbombs from exploration content such as Data Sites, like most current storyline module blueprints.
    • Explosive Storyline Smartbombs have been buffed to now have the same values as the EM ones.
    • Storyline Smartbombs have received very small fitting buffs to keep them as the easiest to fit modules with the changes to Meta Smartbombs becoming the Compact variation.
• To Be Determined   - Faction and Officer smartbombs of non-EMP damage types have had their stats brought up to parity with EMP stats. We aim to not only bring the other smartbomb damage types up to par with EM, but to also make more interesting choices between the smartbomb damage types at Faction and Officer levels. Thus, after bringing them up to parity, the following changes were made:
  • Thermal Smartbombs: +20% range, -20% damage.
  • Explosive Smartbombs: +20% damage, -20% range.
  • Kinetic Smartbombs: -20% capacitor cost, -20% CPU cost, +20% cycle time.
• To Be Determined   - There now are 36 new Mutaplasmid types available to further customize and modify Smartbombs.
  • Smartbomb Mutaplasmids can modify the damage, range, cycle time, capacitor cost, CPU and powergrid requirements of Smartbombs.
  • Players can obtain these Mutaplasmids by completing regular Abyssal Filaments. The type of Filament that drops each Mutaplasmid type is based on the damage type associated with that Filament.}}
    • EMP (EM) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Electrical Filament Abyss.
    • Plasma (Thermal) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Firestorm Filament Abyss.
    • Proton (Explosive) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Gamma Filament Abyss.
    • Graviton (Kinetic) Smartbomb Mutaplasmids - dropped in Exotic Filament Abyss.}}
• We will keep a close eye on the balance of missile "firewalling" strategies, Interdictor Bubble hitpoints for tackling Supercarriers and Titans, PVE Smartbomb balance, and Smartbomb gatecamps following these changes.

Frigate and Cruiser Officers and Officer modules

• To Be Determined   - New Officer Frigate and Officer Cruiser NPCs have been added to the game.
  • Officer Frigates can appear incredibly rarely in 0.5 rated high security space asteroid belts.

Gistii B-type and Gistum B-type shield boosters

• To Be Determined   - Increased shield boost amount so that they now bridge the gap between C-type and A-type, rather than barely being better than the C-type while using more capacitor. This means they now follow the same precedent set by the large and x-large shield boosters.
  • Gistii B-type Small Shield Booster shield boost amount: increased to 48 from 41.
  • Gistum B-type Medium Shield Booster shield boost amount: increased to 144 from 124.

New Sovereignty Mining Upgrades

• To Be Determined   - 7 Small Mining Upgrades have been added, one for each mineral type. These new upgrades cost significantly less Power and Workforce than the current mining upgrades, making them far more flexible. They also respawn significantly faster, with 1 hour long respawn times, and they utilize the same mechanics as the Equinox Combat Upgrades where they can respawn instantly if the time between the last spawn was long enough. These new upgrades provide about 1⁄8th of the ore of the existing upgrades, and do not escalate to the Mining Escalation which is being kept as an exclusive for the existing mining upgrades.
  • Tritanium Prospecting Array 1 - 500,00 m3 of Tritanium providing ores.

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.

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
