Capsuleers,

Ore is at the heart of New Eden. With the Catalyst expansion, coming on 18 November, mining is becoming increasingly dynamic, rewarding, and fiercely contested. Hyperspace fractures reveal phased fields and volatile asteroids, rich in a valuable new ore: Prismaticite.

Read on for details about some of the exciting mining and industry updates coming with the expansion, and start planning your path from rocks to riches.

In the wake of the Drifter Crisis, aggressive experimentation by the emergent power blocs has triggered the formation of hyperspace fractures across New Eden.

They reveal phased asteroids fields rich with prismaticite, a new unpredictable and immensely valuable ore that, when refined through standard methods yields random minerals.

By using reactions to reprocess it, however, you have control over the outcome. This versatility makes prismaticite the most valuable ore ever seen in the cluster.

Accessing these sites requires precision and nerve. Deploy new mobile phase anchors to phase in the asteroids, then move quickly, because the fractures are always in motion. Use the brief window they provide to access phased asteroids and the prismaticite they contain.

Bring an industrial command ship to maximize yield, but be warned: the rewards are great, and so are the risks as rich opportunities attract hunters.

Where & How to Find

Phased fields can be found in lowsec and nullsec, and must be scanned with probes as they are not visible on the overview at first.

Lifetime & Pacing

A phased field will last around 40 hours in all. Each field contains four phased asteroids, as well as regular ones.

Efficiency & Power

Until you deploy a mobile phase anchor within 50 km of the phased asteroids, and supply it with enough energy, they are only mineable at 10% efficiency. Any combination of 1 Rorqual, 2 Orcas, or 3 Porpoises can supply the required energy.

Activation Cadence

After 60 seconds of charging, the asteroid phases in to 100% efficiency for several minutes, then phases out again.

Charges & Loss

Mobile phase anchors are not scoopable, have ten activations, and cost around 5 million ISK each, so it’s a good idea to bring multiples.

Public Reveal

About 20 hours after they’ve been scanned down, the site spawns a beacon that appears on all overviews, and it becomes discoverable on the star map.

Late Stage Jackpot

The last two phased asteroids, containing the largest amounts of prismaticite, won’t activate until after the site is globally visible.

PvP Magnetism

Once public, hunters know exactly where valuable mining ops and expensive ships are located, so you can expect ambushes and brawls.

Mining is getting more responsive, more tactical, and more rewarding than ever before.

Faster Mining Cycles

Faster mining cycles make the process more efficient, dynamic, and satisfying. Regular ore mining lasers and strip miners will have 4x shorter cycles, with proportional reductions in yield per cycle, capacitor use, and mining crystal volatility damage. This means you’ll have the same yield over time, and more feedback.

Mining Crits

Critical mining hits bring the thrill of anticipation to every cycle, offering bonus yield on successful strikes. These bonus strikes do not reduce the remaining ore in the asteroids. Skills and modules will improve your odds and increase the excitement.

Mining UI/UX Improvements

The mining interface has been reworked, with clear, real-time data and a cleaner presentation integrated into the space scene itself.

You can now see how much space you have left in your mining hold in space, on your ship HUD.

A new hotkey will allow you to compress all ore, ice, and gas in your hold, bringing more efficiency to your ops.

All corvettes and bonused mining ships will get a built-in mining surveyor with the new expansion.

An in-space overlay will be added, showing you color-coded values for asteroids, ice, and gas. When your surveyor is upgraded through a module or command bursts from fleetmates, you will see the total value, helping you make more informed decisions.

ORE industrial command ships will be able to grant fleet-wide upgraded mining surveyor functionality with their mining foreman bursts.

Highsec Mining Sites

New visual updates and the return of anomaly sites bring omber and kernite back to highsec. Complete them for a rare chance at highsec mining escalations or use your scan probes to discover hidden mining sites with valuable ore.

All mining missions are getting a visual overhaul, and the ISK and LP rewards for levels 1-2 are being increased by 50%.

Mining Mutaplasmids

Mutate your mining modules and drones for unique effects. Mining Mutaplasmids introduces risk and reward to industry fittings, letting you push your yield and efficiency to unpredictable extremes.

Make sure you tune in to CCP TV at 15:00 UTC on 6 November for a stream that dives deeper into the mining changes coming with the expansion.

Also, watch out for another In Focus video and blog next week which will dive into the new ships, 2D map, and carrier changes in Catalyst.

SPARTA 2035 стримит арт-директор!!!

Following the defeat at the Battle of Vittorio Veneto, Austria-Hungary capitulated in the First World War. Under the terms of the armistice that came into effect on November 4th 1918, Italy received a number of territories, completing its unification. This is why November 4th is celebrated both as National Unity Day and Armed Forces Day in memory of the victory that completed the reunification of Italian lands, which started in the mid-19th century.

About these tanks

• The P40 “G.C. Leoncello” (rank II) was developed in 1940 for the North African front, but only saw its first combat in 1943 in Italy itself, fighting on the side of the Axis powers (the “Leoncelli” group fought for the Italian Social Republic). The P40 is a well-balanced tank in terms of its characteristics, with good APHE and HEAT shells, effective armor and solid mobility.

• The M43 “G.C.Leoncello” (rank III) is a compact but hard-hitting tank, featuring a 105 mm cannon and a unique camouflage pattern from the “Leonchello” group. Its HEAT round with 120 mm of penetration is capable of punching through any opponent at its rank!
