Value-seeking Capsuleers,

You can now get four brand new Packs for EVE Online, giving fresh Capsuleers a chance to make an immediate impact in New Eden. The packs contain items such as Omega, PLEX, Skill Points and excellent SKINs, so there's plenty of appeal for more experienced players, too.

Ranging from the Bronze Pack which starts at $9.99 to the Platinum Pack, you can get between 30 to 90 days of Omega, up to 1500 PLEX and a range of different SKINs depending on which pack you go for.

Like the previous packs, you can only buy each pack once per account, so check them out now and either use it to make a flying start to your life in New Eden or as an opportunity to top up your PLEX or Omega!

Festive Capsuleers,

In celebration of the Lunar New Year, we are delighted to announce the return of the Serene and Absent Heroes Serenity SKIN lines! The SKINs are available in the New Eden Store right now, and you have time until 11:00 UTC 10 January to add them to your impressive collection.

The Serene SKIN series are available on five hulls at the following prices:

• Magnate - 110 PLEX
  
• Naga - 110 PLEX
  
• Cynabal - 110 PLEX
  
• Augoror Navy Issue - 110 PLEX
  
• Hyperion - 250 PLEX
  
• A bundle of all 5 SKINs will be available at 15% off their total price.

The Absent Heroes SKINs are available on two hulls:

• Rifter - 110 PLEX
  
• Typhoon - 250 PLEX
  
• A bundle of both SKINs will also be available at 15% off their total price.

But the celebration would not be complete without the Stargazer Lantern Firework, which you can also find in New Eden Store during the time frame specified earlier.

Skilled Capsuleers,

Bonus Skill Point Weekend is returning between 24 and 27 January 2020, with massive Skill Point rewards for both Alpha and Omega Clone State pilots! Log in daily to claim thousands of Skill Points that you can use to boost your training, honing combat skills that are great for the Fight or Flight Quadrant events.

As long as you make sure to log in every day during Bonus Skill Point Weekend, as an Alpha you can get up to 75,000 Skill Points, and Omegas will get both their own and the Alpha rewards, meaning a whopping 250,000 Skill Points total! Perfect for training those Triglavian skills and piloting the fearsome new Zirnitra Dreadnought.



If that isn’t enough to quench your thirst for Skill Points, then you’’ll be thrilled to hear that due to popular demand, the Skilling Spree will also be returning to New Eden! From 28 January to 2 March, pilots will receive one of three randomly selected challenges that offer either 10k, 25k, or a whopping 50k Skill Points as a reward for destroying NPC vessels.

Pilots will be rewarded upon completing the challenge, and a new one will be offered to them at the next daily downtime. If the challenge is not completed successfully, it will be replaced by another randomly selected challenge during the next daily downtime at 11:00 UTC.

Here are some clarifications for the Bonus Skill Point event:

• Pilots can claim one reward (consisting of both one Alpha and one Omega reward depending on clone status) per day.
  
• New Eden counts days from downtime to downtime. Rewards refresh at 11:00 UTC each day.
  
• The day one reward is the first that a player can claim, regardless of which day of the event they claim it on. They then claim the day two reward the next day, and so on.
  
• One set of rewards is available for every account in game.
  
• One set of rewards is only available for Omega accounts - claiming this reward gives both the Alpha and Omega reward for that day.
  
• Should an Alpha account upgrade to Omega at any point during the event, they will receive all Omega rewards retroactively for the days that they have claimed in the event so far.

To claim your Skill Points, all you need to do is log in to EVE Online and follow these simple instructions on the character selection screen:

• Click "Claim All" at the bottom of the highlighted day in the Daily Login Campaigns window.
  
• You will then receive a confirmation that you've claimed the day's Skill Points.
  
• You'll now see a "Redeemable Items" bar at the bottom of the screen, click it to expand it.
  
• Your Skill Points are right there, simply drag and drop them onto the character you'd like to use them on.
  
• As you drag and drop the Skill Points, you'll receive a confirmation that tells you they have been delivered to your character's unallocated Skill Point queue.

The start of the new year has seen EVE Online's first Quadrant - Fight or Flight - begin, and it is being marked by the release of the new Dragonaur Blitz event, as well as the Warhead Upgrades update.




CONCORD urges you to join the Dragonaur Blitz and attack the extremist Templis Dragonaurs outcasts in Low-sec sites in specified ship types, and earn the new Nirvana Implant BPCs. This limited time event ends 27 January, so act fast and get involved!

As mentioned above, only certain ship types will be allowed entry to Dragonaur Blitz sites. These will include ships with bonuses to Heavy Missiles and recently rebalanced Caldari craft that are most affected by the Warhead Upgrades update (details below).

The Dragonaur Blitz event will also be your first opportunity as pioneering Capsuleers to earn blueprints for the new High and Mid-Grade Nirvana Implants. So, it's time to climb aboard the right ship, prepare for attack - as well as some surprises along the way - and hit the Templis Dragonaurs extremists for the honor of the Caldari State!




Lock onto your targets with the Warhead Upgrades update, which increases the damage dealt by Heavy Missiles in New Eden! The 5% increase to damage dealt by Heavy Missiles will encourage their use more often in future PvP encounters.

The update also sees the introduction of the exciting new Nirvana Faction Implants, which can provide bonuses to shield HP, as well as characteristics such as Perception, Memory, Intelligence, Charisma, and Willpower, depending on the implant used. These implants will initially be available only through the Dragonaur Blitz event, where ships that are most affected by the Warhead Upgrades update will be eligible for entry.

There is also a return to module tiericide with Shield Boosters. Siren fighters will also have their speed reduced by way of having their Microwarp Drives replaced with Afterburners.




You can now get the Heat-Seeker SKIN Bundle in EVE Online's New Eden Store, featuring discounted SKINs for the ships most affected by Warhead Upgrades and suitable for Dragonaur Blitz! Kit out your Drake, Caracal, Cerberus and Tengu with SKINs from the bundle, or check out the other discounts on Zento Isideko Combine, Convergence and Snowline Bladeracer SKINs for these and other Caldari hulls. The offers end at 11:00 UTC on 28 January, so no time to hesitate!


Be sure to read more about the other updates coming as part of the Fight or Flight Quadrant for EVE Online!

Today the season of celebration has arrived in New Eden! With it comes Naughty or Nice and all the events therein!

The popular 13 Days of EVE event returns for the holiday season, with free rewards available daily for logging in as an Alpha or an Omega between 12 Dec and 7 Jan. Upgrading to Omega will mean you get better free gifts plus all the Alpha rewards too! The improved rewards include an unreleased Permaband SKIN, exclusive Facial Augmentations, more snowballs, more Skill Points, more Boosters, more Abyssal Deadspace Filaments, and...you guessed it...even more besides!

In addition - and back by popular demand but with a slight…holiday twist - you will once again be able to receive a great amount of Skill Points (and mysterious travel rewards) for completing daily NPC and Capsuleer-hunting challenges in the festively-named Chilling Spree event. Be aware though, you're going to need those snowballs from the 13 Days of EVE to complete the missions in Chilling Spree, so make sure you log in daily and stock up.

Do you have melted snowballs from past events? You’re in luck! Head over to the Yoiul Festival Snowball Exchange located in numerous places in Hi-Sec and use the Meltwater-Snowball Exchanger to trade in those melted snowballs in exchange for brand new ones to use in Chilling Spree!

Surprise gifts and visits are synonymous with this time of year, so keep an eye on your daily login gifts during the 13 Days of EVE, as you never know what you might get and where it might take you and your fellow pilots in Null-Sec! The RDLF-09 Filament is……especially exciting. These filaments are available exclusively during the holiday event, so make sure you don’t miss out on the opportunity to surprise your fellow capsuleers.

Defenders and offenders of New Eden, the second chapter in the EVE Online - Invasion expansion is now live, and free to download for all players!

With Invasion Chapter 2 comes the introduction of a new Triglavian combat experience, one where you will have to choose between siding with the Empires or the Triglavian Collective in engagements, allowing for two paths through the encounters!

The awesome new Triglavian Dreadnought - the Zirnitra - also makes its bow in this new chapter. This new ship will prove a challenging adversary for Capsuleers, but also a desirable prize for those that can pilot it. There will also be new skills required for piloting the Dreadnought, as well as the monstrous new Ultratidal Entropic Disintegrator guns and new ammo for it.



There are updates to the Loyalty Point Store, meaning that you can now get an all new Mimesis Implant set in both mid and low-grade versions, giving a maximum damage multiplier bonus to Triglavian weapons for even more raw firepower from these already formidable weapons. There are also 16 new SKINs in the Firestorm line available!

This new chapter in the Invasion expansion also brings with it other new features too, including Shareable Bookmarks. This new addition allows Capsuleers to share specific locations in New Eden with alliance members and anyone else they choose, with control over access and duration.

Fly safe, Capsuleers, and prepare for further invasion!
