Capsuleers,
The Cradle of War Major Update is here, revamping force projection, accelerating Pirate Insurgencies, modernizing long-standing wormhole combat sites, and rebalancing ships across the cluster.
Four new packs have arrived alongside the update, each offering a different way into the action. Two make it easier to try something new, while two are built for capsuleers returning to New Eden or looking to expand their rare SKINs collection.
Target Audience | Pack | Price (in USD) |
|---|---|---|
Returning Player / SKINs Connoisseur | Shifting Spacetime* | $10 |
New Player / Interested in Wormholes | Into Anoikis | $15 |
New Player / Interested in Pirate Insurgencies | Insurgent Uprising | $15 |
Returning Player | Homecoming | $20 |
All packs are single purchase (*except Shifting Spacetime pack) and available until 23:59 UTC on 5 October, the same window as the ongoing Omega + PLEX offer, if you want even more ways to dominate in New Eden.
Class 1 to Class 3 wormhole combat sites have been modernized, with smarter NPCs, clearer objectives, and updated visuals.
The Into Anoikis Pack helps you save up to 30% on everything you need to jump into wormhole space:
15 days of Omega
Wormhole Pilot Expert System
2 Agency Support Drops
Expert 'Boost' Cerebral Accelerator
3 Concentric Circles patterns to make your own ship SKIN in SKINr
Pirate Insurgencies have become faster and more dynamic, with a new battlecruiser site and more agency for players. For new players looking to get started with Insurgencies, the Insurgent Uprising Pack gets you straight into the action for 35% less:
15 days of Omega
Insurgent Expert System
2 Agency Support Drops
Expert 'Boost' Cerebral Accelerator
Loud Warning Circle pattern to make your own ship SKIN in SKINr
The Cradle of War Major Update brings an upheaval to force projection, as well as some welcome ship rebalancing.
If you’ve been away, the Homecoming Pack is offering up to 50% savings and gives you 50% savings on a head start for a triumphant return to New Eden:
500 PLEX to quickly get back on your feet financially
648,000 Skill Points to close the skill gap without waiting
Genius 'Boost' Cerebral Accelerator to get to your next goal faster
The Shifting Spacetime Pack pairs 200 PLEX with a free YC128 Shifting-Spacetime Crate: a chance at one of nineteen ship SKINs for ships included in the latest balance pass, or 500 PLEX.
Free Shifting-Spacetime Crate drops one of the following items:
500 PLEX
Babaroga Azdaja Extirpated SKIN
Cerberus Yoiul Festival YC121 SKIN
Deimos Presidential Agent SKIN
Eagle Zento Isideko Combine SKIN
Golem Vitalshift EGO SKIN
Harpy Empyrean Outlaws SKIN
Hawk Kimotoro Eskeitan SKIN
Ishkur Zydrine Burn SKIN
Kronos Pride of the Federation SKIN
Paladin Imperial Police SKIN
Panther Yoiul Star SKIN
Phobos Heartsurge SKIN
Redeemer Fireblade Guerilla SKIN
Sacrilege Unbridled Glory SKIN
Sin Glittering Dream SKIN
Vargur Zakura Shumyu SKIN
Vengeance Crown and Swords SKIN
Vigilant Angel's Hex SKIN
Widow Steel Cardinal SKIN
There are 20 items in total, with a 5% chance for a specific item to drop so they're all weighted equally. There isn't a purchase limit on this offer, and the Shift-Spacetime Crate can be traded in game if SKINs are not your thing.
Several SKINs from this list haven’t circulated in New Eden for years, and we occasionally get requests from players to reintroduce older SKINs either because they love the way they look, or they just want to complete the collection. Just because you weren't around for a sale in 2018 shouldn't preclude you from having the designs you crave, whatever the reason. In the future, we’d like to bring more SKINs like these back into circulation, so if that’s something you’d want to see again, let us know. And again, it's repurchasable, so buy as many as you like.
These Major Update packs offer you four ways to dive into Cradle of War, regardless of your experience level. All are available until 5 October.
