Greetings,
The following page will list patch notes for all updates within this release (Version 22.01). We invite you to join the player discussion about the content of this release on EVE Online forums:
Initial Release Date: 2024-06-11 Last update: 2024-11-05
🤝 - Indicates a change inspired by the player's feedback or suggestions.
Events:
The Crimson Harvest event has concluded. Thank you so much for participating.
In preparation for the Revenant Expansion on Tuesday, 12 November a Revenant-themed character select background was added.
Structures & Deployables
Skyhooks placed on reagent planets (Lava & Ice) will now show how many colony reagents were dropped or destroyed inside them on killmails.
Gameplay:
Warping to the probe result of a Sovereignty Hub or Skyhook will no longer cause you to land inside them, you’ll now land at the edge as if you warped to it normally.
Bookmarking a Sovereignty hub and then warping to the bookmark will no longer cause you to land inside the sovereignty hub.
Miscellaneous:
Alliance Tournament XX has concluded; congratulations to this year's winners, "The Tuskers Co.".
The following has been updated with the conclusion of the event:
The Alliance Tournament monument in the Manarq system has been updated with the Tuskers Co. alliance logo.
The "Alliance Tournament Cup" has been updated with this year's (and previous years) winners.
The Guristas, sponsors of Alliance Tournament XX, have adapted prizes previously donated by CONCORD. The "Python" is a Black-Ops Battleship based on the Marshal Battleship. The "Cobra" is a Force Recon cruiser based on the Enforcer Cruiser. The "Sidewinder" is a Covert-Ops frigate based on the Pacifier frigate. Further details on these ships can be found on a previously issued prize blog here: Alliance Tournament XX – Live schedule & more! | EVE Online.
🤝 There were a few changes made to the ships based on community feedback that this page will be updated to reflect:
The Python had its Minmatar Projective RoF bonus reduced from 15% per level to 12.5% per level.
🤝 The Sidewinder lock range was increased to 55km from 40km
🤝 The Sidewinder had the attribute “No targeting delay after decloak” added to the role bonus.
A new "CONCORD Victory" SKIN line has been added based on the color scheme used for the Python, Cobra and Sidewinder.
Sovereignty:
All remaining Sovereignty Hubs which were running in Legacy mode have been automatically converted into using the new mode.
It is no longer possible to remove rigs from structures which were eligible for rig removal.
Gameplay:
Insurgencies - Fixed a bug which could cause empire factional warfare HQ solarsystems (Amo, Intaki, Mehatoor and Onnamon) from not starting at suppression level 2.
Insurgencies - Fixed a bug where corruption effects could linger after an insurgency ended.
ESS - It’s no longer possible to place deployables (like Micro Jump Units and Mobile Tractor Units) closer than 1000km to the ESS in the main ESS room.
Balancing:
The bounty rewards for the destroyer, battlecruiser and battleship NPCs which are exclusive to the Forsaken Sanctum/Teeming horde sites have been increased by 20%.
The chance of a Large Mercoxit Deposit spawning in a nullsec sovereignty system with a level 2 Prospecting Array Upgrade present has been increased by 3x
The Magmatic Gas cost to run a Metenox Moon Drill has been increased from 88 to 110 per hour.
Reduced the NPC buy order price of Superionic Ice.
Missions and NPCs:
The SoCT has expanded journal buy orders to Genolution stations, including new buy orders for recently discovered journal entries.
Audio:
Combat music no longer plays over other music.
Gameplay:
Insurgencies - Fixed an issue where the pirate FOB could move from reinforced back to vulnerable again if there was a temporary outage with the external service while it was reinforced.
Fixed an issue where NPC kills would not be counted towards daily goals and events if an NPC was one-shot by a player.
Fixed an issue where NPC kills would not be counted towards daily goals and events if an NPC was killed indirectly with a smartbomb or an EDENCOM vorton projector weapon bounce and wasn’t targeted by any player directly.
Fixed a killmail bug which could occur if a player killed themselves in one shot (Such as dying to their own bomb in a stealth bomber/failing Ghost Site hack etc).
Fixed a killmail bug which could occur if a player got a final blow on a player’s ship, but the damage they did was all in one-shot and they didn’t damage the target previously.
Graphics:
Adjusted the distance from which certain objects are visible in space.
Shattered Paradigm decals no longer clip on the Orthrus.
IGC logo on Shattered Paradigm SKIN is now grey instead of red.
Gameplay:
Fixed an issue which could prevent stargates from being used or selectable on the overview in a solar system.
Fixed an issue which could prevent bounty payments from NPCs being added to the bounty pool.
Fixed an issue which could sometimes prevent insurgency dungeons which have stage requirements from spawning.
Missions & NPCs:
The Society of Conscious Thought are offering capsuleers an ISK reward for Journal Entries recovered from relic sites.
Miscellaneous:
A new engineering structure with an item trader has appeared near the Shrouded Structure in Zarzakh.
Science & Industry:
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.
Gameplay:
It’s now possible to store the Standup Focused Warp Scrambling scripts for upwell structure warp disruption modules inside the infrastructure hold of the upwell haulers.
Graphics:
Improved the placement of the asteroids which were overlapping after the asteroid size increase and did a small beauty pass on the Prospecting Array 2 upgrades.
Technical:
When using the Chinese language on macOS 15 (Sequoia), the client would experience a performance drop due to an expected font being removed in this OS version. As a result, the font used for Chinese on macOS 15 has been updated, which resolves the performance issue and allows the overview to render correctly.
Events:
The Crimson Harvest has begun! This Blood Raiders themed event runs until downtime on Tuesday November 5th 2024.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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 is no penalty for hitting both sides and taking the loot from both their sites.
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.
Skills:
Added new skill Paragon Partnership for reducing Paragon HUB Vendor Fees when selling SKINs by 1% per level.
Localization:
Fixed the skyhook reagent window being partially broken in multiple localized languages.
User Interface:
The Character Select screen has been updated to celebrate the upcoming Crimson Harvest event.
Events:
The Crimson Harvest seasonal loot drop buff is arriving a day early! Starting today and lasting until the end of the event on 5 November, loot from destroyed capsuleer ships will drop at a higher rate, around 90% instead of the regular 50%. Find the pumpkin icon tagging the wrecks of your helpless victims and claim your bounties!
Gameplay:
CONCORD Rogue Analysis Beacons (aka CRAB beacons) are no longer invulnerable, have their in-space UI covered up and no longer have 50% reduced link speed for the owner.
Fixed an issue which could cause players accessing the Orbital Skyhook Reagent window to see incorrect information about how many reagents were inside. (Live hotfix at 16:00 UTC)
Sovereignty:
Skyhooks have now been updated to Upwell’s latest firmware → Equinox Update: Enhanced Skyhooks | EVE Online
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.
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.
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).
Missions & NPCs:
Increased the damage per second of the Blood Raiders officer frigate Makra Ozman.
PvE:
The Drifters have been unsuccessful in the Siege of Zarzakh. Horizon Siege Point sites and roaming Drifter/Sleeper fleets will no longer appear.
Sovereignty:
Adjusted the locations of several asteroids in the small mining sites so that they aren’t so far away from the warp in location.
Gameplay:
The Capital Clone Vat Blueprint has been corrected so that it now uses 10% less Mexallon rather than 10% less Tritanium from the patch on the 18th September.
The mineral prospecting array 1 upgrades are now respawning as intended.
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:
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.
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.
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 .
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:
Only characters within 100km of the Horizon Breach Engine will be considered eligible for payouts in Horizon Siege Point sites.
User Interface:
Fixed an issue which could cause the Zarzakh Emanation error message to show an incorrect, incredibly high number when trying to use a gate you’re not locked to while having an Emanation timer.
Fixed an issue where Structure SKINR licenses were not being displayed on the Corporation Administration page for the Structure SKINR.
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.
Fulleroferrocene, PPD Fullerene Fibers, Fullerene Intercalated Graphite, Methanofullerene, Lanthanum Metallofullerene and Scandium Metallofullerene have been removed from Capital Construction Components.
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%.
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.
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.
The amount of Auto-Integrity Preservation Seals and Life Support Backup Units needed to manufacture Titans are increased by 100%.
The amount of Trigger Neurolink Conduits needed to manufacture Titans are increased by 50%.
The amount of Capital Core Regulators needed to manufacture Titans is increased by 25%.
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.
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 required 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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
Modules:
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.
Meta "Named" Smartbomb modules are now 'Compact' and use less powergrid.
All compact meta smartbomb damage types now use the same 20% reduced CPU requirements that EM Smartbombs have.
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.
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.
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
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.
Officer Cruisers can appear incredibly rarely in 0.1 and 0.2 rated low security space asteroid belts.
50+ New Officer modules have been added to the game.
1mn and 10mn Afterburners
5mn and 50mn MWDs
Small and Medium Energy Neutralizers
Small and Medium Energy Nosferatus
Small and Medium Armor Repairers and Shield Boosters

Assault Damage Controls
Warp Disruption Field Generator
And more!
Gistii B-type and Gistum B-type shield boosters
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.
Pochven:
Mobile Observatory deployables can now be deployed in Pochven.
Rebalanced the web strength of several Minmatar EDENCOM NPCs which had stronger than 100% webs.
Sovereignty:
New Sovereignty Mining Upgrades
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, nor have a chance to spawn Mercoxit sites, which is being kept as an exclusive for the existing mining upgrades.
Tritanium Prospecting Array 1 - 500,000 m3 of Tritanium providing ores.
Pyerite Prospecting Array 1 - 1,000,000 m3 of Pyerite providing ores.
Mexallon Prospecting Array 1 - 375,000 m3 of Mexallon providing ores.
Isogen Prospecting Array 1 - 325,000 m3 of Isogen providing ores.
Nocxium Prospecting Array 1 - 325,000 m3 of Nocxium providing ores.
Zydrine Prospecting Array 1 - 750,000 m3 of Zydrine providing ores.
Megacyte Prospecting Array 1 - 500,000 m3 of Megacyte providing ores.
Power Cost: 500
Workforce Cost: 6400
Additionally, several asteroids added in Equinox have had their 3D model sizes increased so they look more impressive.

Due to a mysterious surprise attack from the Drifters, The Fulcrum has activated an “Emanation lock” on the stargates into Zarzakh and within the system of Zarzakh, preventing the Drifters from accessing Zarzakh by any means; this has temporarily stalled the drifter attack for now…
Whenever a player enters Zarzakh from a stargate, they will become locked to that stargate and get an emanation lock timer for 6 hours. Players will only be able to leave Zarzakh through the stargate they are locked to for the next 6 hours.
Players can always leave Zarzakh through the Deathless Shipcaster, Clone Jumping or being pod killed, even with an Emanation lock.
If players do not have an Emanation lock timer, they can leave through any gate.
The Emanation lock is only given when entering Zarzakh, not when leaving it.
If a player is outside Zarzakh with an Emanation lock timer, they can enter through any gate (It only prevents you from leaving Zarzakh). Entering Zarzakh from any gate will overwrite any old emanation lock timer with a new timer. You can only be locked to one gate at any time.
Being pod killed into Zarzakh (If you have your home station set there) or clone jumping into Zarzakh is always possible regardless of Emanation Lock status.
Warp Disruption Probes (From Interdiction Sphere Launcher modules fitted to Interdictors) and unscripted warp disruption field generator modules (from Heavy Interdictors) can no longer be used in Zarzakh.
Escalations can no longer route a player through Zarzakh.
Autopilot will no longer route a player through Zarzakh.
If a player is inside Zarzakh with an Emanation lock, then Autopilot will consider the players Emanation lock and not route them through a gate they cannot use.
Zarzakh is under siege! Drifter and Sleeper forces have begun launching attacks within the four systems connecting to Zarzakh.
Horizon Siege Point sites have begun appearing within the connecting systems. Capsuleers must keep the Drifter siege engine from becoming fully online within these sites. The device is only vulnerable while it is active. Be warned! While in this state, the engine will call for Drifter and Sleeper reinforcements.
Roaming fleets of hostiles patrol these systems, targeting any capsuleers they find.
Homefront Operations:
Info Panel objectives will now reappear if warp is started and then cancelled within ongoing sites.
Mine and escape Info Panel objectives will now appear when arriving at an ongoing Abyssal Artifact Recovery site.
Fixed a minor formatting issue in Traffic Stop site Operational Intel text.
Drifter NPCs in Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites will now have their shield hitpoints applied correctly.
Sovereignty:
Territorial Control Units (TCUs) and old deprecated sovereignty upgrades have had their reprocessing amounts adjusted to provide double the materials, so they now will provide a full refund in the components used to build them to players who choose to reprocess them.
Deepflow Rift:
Increased the rate at which Deepflow Adaptive Canisters can be found.
Instability will now stack when multiple tractor beams are activated simultaneously. Each tractor beam will be applied separately.
As each tractor beam will cause instability, manage your modules carefully so as to not disturb what lies beyond the rift. Be sure to have the opportunities window opened to best gauge rift instability.
Deepflow Rift:
Deepflow Adaptive Canisters can no longer be found once the 27 canister limit is reached.
Electron Spin Resonance items now use their correct icon.
User Interface:
Fixed an issue where SKIN previews in the Paragon Hub did not display when first opening SKINR after logging in.
Fixed an issue where design elements appeared duplicated in the Slot Customization UI when activating a limited component in SKINR. Additionally, the "Metallic" component list no longer incorrectly switches to the "Basic" list after activating a design element.
Fixed an issue where sorting saved SKIN designs by name did not function correctly.
SKINR - New Feature: Sharing Saved Designs
Drag and Drop SKIN Designs:
Players can now drag their saved SKIN Designs directly from the Saved Designs list on SKINR’s main page into chat for easy sharing.
Link Icon for Saved Designs:
When selecting a saved SKIN Design on the main page, a link icon will appear. Drag this icon into chat to instantly share your design with others.
Opening Shared SKIN Designs:
Clicking on a shared SKIN Design link in chat will now open SKINR directly in Studio mode. The design will load with all details filled in as per the original, ready for you to edit.
Design Ownership Display:
Upon opening a shared design, the original creator's name will be displayed. Players can then modify the design and rename it, making it their own unique creation.
Graphics:
Archon now correctly maps materials to the tech slot within the SKINR and previously sequenced SKINs should now match the designed SKIN.
Extra pattern projections on some ships (eg. Crane) are now correctly removed from SKINR when designing and on the resulting SKIN, and previously sequenced SKINs should now match the designed SKIN.
Wormhole auras should be the correct color again.
Shaders will now render SSAO correctly where a tiling texture is being used.
User Interface:
Fixed an issue where the Back button did not function correctly in the SKINR Paragon Hub and Collections tabs.
Resolved overflow issues on the Studio page in the SKINR when using smaller window sizes.
Homefront Operations:
Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites have been overhauled:
After an initial set-up period, asteroids from beyond the rift will appear and a timer will begin.
Payouts will now be received if all asteroids are depleted when the timer ends.
If successful, there will be a short cooldown before another wave of asteroids appears.
If unsuccessful, no additional waves will appear, and the site will end.
Following the arrival of every wave are unpredictable effects and hostile NPCs determined to disrupt your progress.
Hostile NPCs within the site will no longer target drones.
The damage of Triglavian NPCs has been reduced.
Faulty Triglavian Caches now have a chance to appear whenever an asteroid is depleted.
These caches are now destructible with lootable wrecks, like in Abyssal Deadspace.
The contents of the caches have been greatly increased.
Be quick! Caches will be lost if an asteroid appears in their place, and their wrecks do not last long in the chaotic environment.
As before, a warp disruption field will be active within the site whenever at least one asteroid is present.
The longer the site progresses, the greater the rewards and challenges become!
The repair amounts of logistics NPCs appearing in all sites have been decreased.
Combat NPCs appearing in all sites will now have a maximum orbit range of 30km.
PVE:
Deepflow Rift sites
Mysterious rifts, seemingly connected to the depths of the Triglavian abyss, have begun appearing throughout the cluster and beyond. Though they are untraversable by capsuleers, a tractor beam may be able to dredge up items of interest from the other side.

Viewing solar systems in the colony resources agency page which do not have any workforce will no longer have a ‘no workforce label’ error instead of the workforce icon. Instead, in systems with no workforce, the icon will be hidden from view.
Fixed UI elements overflowing with the Metenox moon drill mining details page when there are more than 4 moon materials being mined.
Fixed an issue where the tooltip would not appear when a player moused over the last broadcast message in a fleet if the person who broadcasted left the fleet.
Fixed a missing tooltip label when mousing over the Skyhook Icon in the solar system info panel which appears when a raid is taking place in the solar system.
Increased the width of the quantity field in the NES, so that now 2 digits are shown clearly.
Fixed an erroneous tooltip warning that would appear when attempting to place a command center on a planet for PI in an Upwell Hauler when they had command centers in their Infrastructure Hold stating that the command center was not found in the cargo hold.
The industry window is no longer case sensitive when sorting through owned blueprints. I.e. EM Pulse Generator blueprint will now no longer be displayed above Electrolytic Capacitor Unit Blueprint when sorting by name ascending.
Fixed the width on the industry window dropdown filters so they are now large enough to include the full name instead of being cut off.

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.
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.
Isogen Prospecting Array (Griemeer Deposit)
Total Ore Volume increased from 2,631,000 m3 to 3,000,000 m3.
Megacyte Prospecting Array (Ueganite Deposit)
Total Ore Volume increased from 1,982,287 m3 to 4,000,000 m3.
Mexallon Prospecting Array (Kylxium Deposit)
Total Ore Volume increased from 2,040,000 m3 to 3,000,000m3.
Nocxium Prospecting Array (Noxcite Deposit)
Total Ore Volume increased from 2,100,008 m3 to 3,000,000 m3.
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.
Tritanium Prospecting Array (Veldspar Deposit)
Total Ore Volume increased from 3,000,000 m3 to 4,000,000 m3.
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.
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.
Capital focused escalations (Shielded/Infested Starbase and the Capital Staging/Hive sites)
Escalation Expiration timer from 24 hours to 72 hours.
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:
Non-Drone Regions

Gameplay:
Adjusted the fitting warning message that appears for the Bowhead and Avalanche that warned you against fitting propulsion modules to them such as a 500mn MicrowarpDrive and advising you to fit capital sized propulsion modules (10000mn, 50000mn) which neither ship could fit. Instead, it now warns you that it could be inefficient to fit propulsion modules to the ships and may give less of a speed boost than you expect.
Localization:
Removed "Metallic" from being appended to the end of some Design Elements to make them uniform with others.
Fixed an issue that was causing respawn timers of certain combat anomalies to be too low.
The combat anomaly sites spawned by the new sovereignty hub upgrades are intended to respawn faster than anomalies spawned by older upgrades when completed at average speeds, providing a better experience for the vast majority of players. In Equinox, the respawn timers for these sites were adjusted to begin counting down when the previous site spawned instead of when the previous site was completed, causing the effective wait time for the next site to be variable depending on how quickly you completed the previous site. This means that instant respawns of sites are intended to happen in some cases, but not when chaining sites extremely quickly using multiple ships and optimal tactics.
In today's patch, we have partially addressed an issue that had been causing the intended cooldowns to not apply properly. This issue was most significantly affecting systems where the combat anomalies were being chain completed in a very short period due to hyper-optimized tactics with multiple characters. Respawn times can still be instant in some situations, especially when the sites are being run at average speeds, but they will no longer be instant every time when the sites are being completed very quickly.
Ship SKINR:
Updated SKIN License Tier indicators for better clarity.
Enhanced the Sequencing panel for design elements and sequence binder requirements.
SKIN listings from the Paragon Hub are now linkable.
Added the option to purchase multiple stacks of design elements directly from the Paragon Hub.
Introduced new skills to increase the number of allowed saved designs in the Ship SKINR.
Added sequencing time information to the design creation page.
Ship type is now displayed when viewing a design in the Paragon Hub or the Collection.
Design Elements can now be filtered by finish for easier navigation.
Updated the Sequencing button to "Finalize Design" for clearer action.
The Paragon Hub now displays 3 rows with 4 SKIN Licenses each for a more organized view.
Moved pagination controls to the bottom of the page in "View All" sections for better usability.
Sovereignty:
It’s now possible to visually see workforce transit, and sovereignty hub workforce configurations from the World Map.
To enable this option you will need to have the Station Manager, Director or CEO role in your corporation and be part of an alliance.
It can be turned on by going to Markers in the world map settings and then checking the Sovereignty Hub's box.
You can only see the status of Sovereignty Hubs that your corporation owns. Ones that belong to your alliance but not your corporation will show up as grey.
Sovereignty Hubs can be configured from this map view by right clicking on the sovhub workforce icon and then choosing the 'edit configuration' option.
Graphics:
VFX glow color on SOE ships are now correctly blue again (instead of lime green).
Removed a clipping rock from an acceleration gate on “Vengeance” mission site.
Turrets now correctly oriented on Khizriel.
Shipcaster construction containers now dynamically fills based on capacity loaded into the container by player.
Smoke VFX on warp from Gallente Frigates adjusted to be more transparent.

Added a tooltip for when the trade is disabled because you are missing the required items in the item trader window.
Fixed a client side exception when simulating a fit, moving the drone quantity down to 0, and then moving it back up again.
Gameplay:
Reduced the minimum distance that Skyhooks can be deployed next to stargates and structures from 100,000km to 1,000km. This range was rarely and sporadically blocking skyhooks from being able to be deployed on planets which were very close to stargates/structures.
Structures & Deployables:
Skyhooks now have ingame notifications when they are deployed, go online, are attacked, are reinforced and are destroyed.
Gameplay:
Upwell Structure related ammo items in the charge category will now more consistently move into the Infrastructure Hold, such as Standup Bombs, Flak Ammo, Standup ECM Scripts, Structure Anticapital and Structure Anticapital missiles.
Fixed an Issue which could cause the Metenox moon drill (And all FLEX structures to a lesser extent) to have much shorter reinforcement timers than intended.
It’s now possible to open the configuration window of a Sovereignty Hub that had the Fuel Access ACL list deleted.
Gameplay:
Fixed an issue where it was not possible to list a SKIN License for sale in the Paragon Hub for a price higher than 2.1 billion.
Structures & Deployables:
Skyhooks now have a 15 minute repair timer instead of 5 minutes.
User Interface:
Added a notification and timer in the Info Panel when a Skyhook is being hacked, this timer shows when an active hacking is occurring, when it is successful, and when it is unsuccessful.
Gameplay:
Skyhooks and Metenox Moon Drills can now be found on the directional scanner and be probed with combat scanner probes.
Localization:
Fixed a typo in the description of Nocxium.
Fixed a typo in the description of the Sansha's Nation Occupied Mine escalation message.
User Interface:
It’s no longer possible to try and configure a Skyhook while you have it in your inventory / cargo, or while it’s still onlining.
The sovhub configuration menu will no longer let you drag an upgrade in from location that is not your ship and will display a user error when you try. (It would let you before in the simulation but would fail when trying to save).
Fixed an exception which occurred when closing the Sov Hub window from the corporation management window.
Gameplay:
Fixed an issue which caused strategic upgrades installed in sovereignty hubs running in the new system to continue to provide their effects until downtime if the sovereignty hub was destroyed.
User Interface:
Fixed an issue which caused lines between connecting systems to be missing from Insurgency map.
Sovereignty Transition
Check out this devblog for more information on Sovereignty Updates: Transition & Upgrades | EVE Online
Players with the appropriate roles in the corp which owns the Sovereignty Hub (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
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
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.
The power, workforce and reagent costs of several upgrades have been adjusted
Reminder that you can see the full details in the Equinox System Resource Data spreadsheet.
Advanced Logistics Network (Enables Ansiblex Jump Gates)
Power cost reduced from 1500 to 1250
Workforce cost increased from 18000 to 25000
Superionic Ice consumption cost increased from 33 to 40 units per hour
Superionic Ice fuel startup cost increased from 2250 to 2750 units
Supercapital Construction Facilities (Enables Standup Supercapital Shipyard)
Power cost reduced from 2000 to 1750
Workforce cost reduced from 20000 to 17500
Superionic Ice consumption cost reduced from 220 to 145 units per hour
Superionic Ice fuel startup cost reduced from 15000 to 10000 units

Workforce cost reduced from 6400 to 5000
Magmatic Gas consumption cost increased from 1750 to 2480 units per hour
Magmatic Gas fuel startup cost increased from 120000 to 170000 units
Cynosural Navigation (Enables Pharolux Cyno Beacon)
Magmatic Gas consumption cost decreased from 1100 to 1095 units per hour
Minor Threat Detection Array 1
Workforce cost reduced from 2700 to 1890
Mining Upgrade Adjustments:
Changes made to new Ore types provided by the new mining upgrades.
All variations of Kylixium
Volume reduced from 1.5m3 to 1.2m3
All variations of Griemeer
Volume reduced from 1m3 to 0.8m3
All variations of Noxcite
Volume reduced from 6m3 to 4m3
All variations of Ueganite
Volume reduced from 8m3 to 5m3
Hezorime
Volume reduced from 8m3 to 5m3
Tritanium from refining 100 units increased from 1600 to 2000
Isogen from refining 100 units increased from 80 to 120
Dull Hezorime
Volume reduced from 8m3 to 5m3
Tritanium from refining 100 units increased from 1680 to 2100
Isogen from refining 100 units increased from 84 to 126
Serrated Hezorime
Volume reduced from 8m3 to 5m3
Tritanium from refining 100 units increased from 1760 to 2200
Isogen from refining 100 units increased from 88 to 132
Sharp Hezorime
Volume reduced from 8m3 to 5m3
Tritanium from refining 100 units increased from 1840 to 2300
Isogen from refining 100 units increased from 92 to 138
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.
TCUs no longer provide a flat 25% bonus to fuel bays of control towers.
TCUs no longer provide an evemail notification to the corporation which owns it when a control tower is anchored in their space
(Both of these have been in effect since Equinox launched)

Homefront Operations:
Three new Homefront Operations sites have begun appearing throughout empire-owned High Security systems. Like existing Homefront Operations, these sites will primarily be found near trade hubs and Career Agent systems.
