Automate your ship replacement program with the Ship Insurance Corporation Project type, enjoy the freedom to complete AIR Daily Goals with EverMarks, engage in Mercenary Tactical Operations, plus a multitude of additional changes arriving now and in the near future.
FEARLESS FLIGHT
Building on and adding to the Ship Loss Corporation Project type introduced in the Equinox expansion, the new Ship Insurance project type brings automated ship replacement programs for corporations. Based on feedback from corp leaders, this offers more ways to compensate your members with a streamlined system that guarantees seamless payouts based on loss value. Now your fleets can charge fearlessly into battle, knowing their investments are covered, and they are guaranteed a chance to fight another day, whatever the peril.
FREEDOM TO PROGRESS
For pilots seeking greater freedom, EverMarks can now be used to complete AIR Daily Goals. Focus on the activities you enjoy the most, while still progressing and achieving your ambitions. Use your EverMarks strategically and turn your stockpile into meaningful opportunities. With this new update and the increased flexibility it brings the number of daily goals has been streamlined to four, ensuring that capsuleers have meaningful choices without feeling overwhelmed, striking a balance between flexibility and focus. AIR remains dedicated to monitoring and fine-tuning the system to ensure it empowers you with the perfect blend of control and agency, letting you shape your path in New Eden.
BASK IN YOUR SHIPS’ GLORY
Spaceships are at the heart of the EVE experience, and boarding a new ship for the first time is about to become even more of a celebratory moment – one your hard-earned vessels deserve! Starting 5 December, cinematic ship introductions will bring your ships to life, showcasing their power and beauty in a dynamic and immersive way, celebrating and highlighting the ship’s unique character. These scenes can be replayed, skipped, or disabled based on your preference.
NEW EDEN EVOLVES
Your feedback has driven both immediate improvements and laid the groundwork for future evolution across New Eden. Sovereignty anomaly warp-in points for NPCs have already been adjusted, enabling quicker and more responsive strategic engagements. In addition, a number of wormhole activities have been enhanced – more on those in the Patch Notes.
Since the launch of Revenant, nullsec has been a hive of activity, with over 100 mercenary dens destroyed daily. Now, Mercenary Tactical Operations (MTO), have begun to spawn in systems with mercenary dens, creating new opportunities for capsuleers to drive development and reduce anarchy by completing objectives, boosting (or hindering) the production of infomorph decryption keys. As covered in last week’s update capsuleers can secure valuable rewards while stabilizing planetary workforce and mitigating disruptions.
Also detailed in last week’s news item, various improvements and “Little Things” inspired by your feedback have been introduced across New Eden. Ship balance changes have refined and boosted several vessels, miners have gained the ability to compress resources directly from the right-click menu, while exhumers and barges enjoy better locked target capabilities and faster excavation drones.
Multiple updates to Observatory Flashpoint sites in Pochven have been made recently, including enhanced drone aggression and reliable red loot amounts, and these ongoing changes remain priorities, as well as continued ship balancing efforts. Furthermore, adjustments have been made to Factional Warfare and Insurgency systems, driven by your feedback, aiming to keep these conflicts dynamic and engaging.
THE SAGA CONTINUES
Revenant is off to an explosive start, but there’s a lot more to come. Vanguard forces have descended once more for YC126.11.28 Groundbreak, influencing live insurgencies in New Eden and engaging in new challenges and activities.
Now is the perfect time to prosper with the Deathless as Cyber Monday brings the biggest discount on Starter Packs yet! Until 5 December, you can get up to 40% off packs loaded with Omega time, Skill Points, PLEX, exclusive SKINs, and more.
In addition, Winter Nexus kicks off on 5 December, bringing thrilling opportunities and seasonal rewards through the entire month.
Your voices have contributed to these adjustments, capsuleers, helping to shape the present and future of the cluster. The Revenant expansion represents an opportunity to rise stronger, to command chaos, and carve your legacy among the stars.
The Revenant expansion surges ahead, with new additions to mercenary dens introducing Mercenary Tactical Operations (MTO), new balancing and quality of life changes, an urgent call to arms rings out across New Eden to defend important Deathless arrays, insurgency deployments are coming to EVE Vanguard, and Winter Nexus is fast approaching.
MERCENARY TACTICS
Since the launch of Revenant, capsuleers have been hard at work constructing and destroying mercenary dens all over nullsec space. Today, Mercenary Tactical Operations (MTO) have been introduced to these dens, enabling capsuleers to seize control of their systems’ destiny. Upwell has lobbied for a crackdown of the transportation of the encrypted infomorphs of workers in breach of their work contracts, but the Deathless Circle has found a way to remotely transmit infomorph applicants using infomorph decryption keys, unlocking the same kind of remote consciousness that capsuleers use when they die. The production of these keys can be further stimulated through mercenary site activity and they can be delivered to the Deathless for handsome rewards. Dive into MTO today to drive development and reduce anarchy by completing operations, boosting production of infomorph decryption keys that can be traded for valuable rewards, and eliminating potential workforce disruption.
This functionality elevates mercenary dens into critical strategic assets, turning them into battlegrounds for those seeking to shape the future of New Eden.
PROSPER WITH OR WITHOUT THE DEATHLESS
In connection with the Vanguard deployment starting on 28 November, the Deathless Circle has deployed Trustbreaker Arrays, which connect to the enigmatic Warden structure in Zarzakh. These arrays scan for crucial passkeys required to breach planetary defenses, enabling Vanguard forces to claim planetary strongholds. However, the arrays are now under siege by Drifter forces, and the Deathless has issued a call to capsuleers to intervene.
From 26 November to 2 December, pilots can defend the arrays to earn ISK rewards, or destroy them to seize passkeys as valuable commodities. These skirmishes offer a high-stakes choice: stand with the Deathless or shut their operations down.
BOOTS ON THE GROUND, STORMS IN THE SKY
The battle intensifies on 28 November, as war descends to the surface in EVE Vanguard. Insurgency deployments unleash warclones on planets to directly impact the ongoing war in space. In addition, capsuleers get daily rewards for taking flight in EVE Online between 28 November and 1 December: Vanguard-themed SKIN design components, 3,000 EverMarks, and 50,000 Skill Points. Choose your allegiance, shape planetary battlefields, and leave your mark on the EVE Online universe from the ground as well as amongst the stars. Learn more about EVE Vanguard and add the game to your Steam wishlist so you don’t miss a moment of action.
Winter Nexus returns on 5 December, bringing icy storms and seasonal rewards, giving you plenty to fight for across the stars. Make your winter unforgettable as you claim daily prizes and battle Sansha forces for riches and glory.
NOT SO LITTLE THINGS
Quite a few balance changes have also been made, many based directly on your feedback, for nearly all areas of space.
A few ships, like the Ferox Navy Issue and the Eos were overperforming, which has been addressed by making them more engageable. Heavy assault cruisers have regained their MWD signature radius bonus to make them a bit more viable in the current meta, and various other ships, like the Ashimmu and Maulus Navy Issue, have been improved.
This update also introduces several changes aimed specifically at mining. Resources can now be compressed through the right-click menu instead of the compression window, exhumers and barges have improved locked targets, and excavators are now faster.
Over in the warzone, changes to Factional Warfare and Pirate Insurgencies ensure more meaningful engagements with improvements to Battlefield sites, shifting the makeup of signatures, buffing deployables, and more.
Today's release also ushers in a few Little Things to improve quality of life. While some Little Things are bigger than others, these are some of our favorite changes to make. If you have any QoL suggestions, head on over to the EVE Online Forums where we'd love to hear from you.
REVENANT: THE STORY SO FAR
New Eden has been a hive of activity since the launch of Revenant, with mercenary dens and Deathless ships being deployed and destroyed, corporations setting up ambitious projects, and proudly displaying their own colors, adding new patterns and hues to the tapestry of the cluster.
It will be interesting to see how you will use the latest opportunities to continue writing the story of New Eden.
The war is coming to EVE Vanguard from 28 November – 9 December, as warclone testing concludes and the Vanguard get ready for their first full-fledged operation: YC126.11.28 Groundbreak. As before, this deployment is open to all Omega clones, but will now offer greatly expanded access with new opportunities for Alphas as well as newcomers to the EVE Universe to jump into the fray. The time has come to choose your allegiance. Descend to planet surfaces and ascend to greatness, as you make your mark in New Eden. Your footsteps may be small, but your next shot will topple empires.
IMPACT WITH EVERY SHOT
In YC126.11.28: Groundbreak you will dive into a brand new gameplay experience as you join live insurgencies that reach from ground to orbit, shaping the future of New Eden. With every deployment, you have the chance to align with a faction of your choice and dive into intense 9v9 battles, capturing artillery cannons to bombard enemy fleets from the surface. Each victory strengthens your side’s grip on planetary zones, driving opposition forces out of contested airspace and having real-time impact on the ongoing war in the cluster.
Joining the Vanguard, you will be invited to rise from the ashes of the past and find your place in the great war taking place among the stars, taking control of newly realized, revamped warclone technology. Generate corruption or suppression to aid your faction, explore new areas, get new gear, and much more.
BUILD YOUR ARSENAL
Between insurgency deployments you can hone your power by raiding planetary zones for rare resources and blueprint parts. Face off against brutal NPC militia and rival warclones, scavenging for materials to craft tactical chipsets and blueprints. Use them to build your own custom arsenal and gain an edge for the next objective. You have the freedom to formulate your own goals, strategies, and fragile alliances, with myriad methods of achieving what you set out to accomplish. Decide where you wish to deploy, manufacture an unbeatable armory, and destroy your rivals.
CAPSULEER REINFORCEMENTS
The Deathless is making his presence known all over New Eden – on planets and in space. He has put out a call to the capsuleers of the cluster to join in the fight against Drifter forces, in part to aid Vanguard forces in planetside operations. The Deathless Circle has deployed special towers connected to the newly revealed Warden, which scan local networks for passkeys needed to break planetary defense systems, allowing Vanguard warclones to fight for key positions in insurgencies. These towers are under attack from Drifters, and the Deathless has asked capsuleers to help defend them. There is of course nothing stopping them from destroying the towers and stealing the passkeys for themselves, should they prefer to support suppression-aligned forces.
Those wishing to join this fight, on either side, can visit the sites of the skirmishes on 26 November and make their mark on the war. In addition, the capsuleers of New Eden will get daily Vanguard-themed rewards for taking flight in EVE Online between 28 November and 1 December, including up to four SKIN design components, 3,000 EverMarks, and 50,000 Skill Points.
PREPARE TO CONQUER

DEN OF VILLAINY

COMMAND YOUR LEGACY
Corporation Projects are evolving to meet the grand ambitions of New Eden’s most visionary leaders. Set bold new and lofty goals, unite your members in purpose, and watch as every task transforms into a defining act of loyalty.

THE UNITED COLORS OF PARAGON
Unify your organization’s identity and make your unique colors soar across New Eden with exclusive, customizable corporation SKINs. The creative possibilities are endless with the addition of a second pattern slot, amazing blending options and 45 new patterns, the sky is certainly not the limit when it comes to outfitting your corpmates (or your alts).
Your brand managers can now get your corp’s signature identity and flair into the hands of the right capsuleers – for however much or little PLEX or ISK they want. Paragon waives the fees for brand managers but collects a small EverMark fee from the corp member, so get synchronized in purpose and style. Brand managers' listings will be highlighted with a special background, because standing out is half the battle.
To celebrate, Paragon is halving sequencing time for the next two weeks! Plus, the New Eden Store offers a Brand Manager Expert System, helping your team jumpstart their Paragon Hub journey. Empower your corporation, stand together and stand out in New Eden.
COMMUNITY INSPIRED IMPROVEMENTS
The community has spoken, the Council of Stellar Management has amplified the message, and the impact is here! A wave of enhancements, adjustments, and thrilling additions are taking flight, many inspired directly by feedback from the pilots of New Eden.
A variety of ships have been adjusted to improve combat dynamics, including marauders, as well as the Myrmidon, Harbinger, and Exequror Navy Issue.
New Rogue Drone relic sites have been added to nullsec for more action and rewards, and combat anomalies in nullsec get a stunning visual overhaul as well as allowing you to track your progress with the objectives panel. In addition, Observatory Flashpoint sites in Pochven get even more exciting than before.
Daring pilots who frequent Abyssal Deadspace have a treat in store, as abyssal modules can now be reprocessed into mutaplasmid residue. This opens up myriad possibilities as you can use them with freshly introduced blueprints to construct new and powerful mutaplasmids.
Modules are the heartbeat of your ships, and it is essential to identify them quickly in the heat of battle. To that end, several modules have been given unique icons, helping you pick them out at a glance.
Explore more new enhancements in the expansion patch notes.
IMMERSIVE SHIP INFO

An incursion is underway, and this time it’s not space pirates, but EVE Game Masters! The GMs have broken free from their cages and taken to the stars. For three days, they will roam New Eden, shaking things up with red text in official channels and appearances in ships much larger than you’re used to seeing in starter systems.

That’s not all! If you have a story to share, you can head over to General Discussions on the EVE Online forums to share the tale of your favorite killmail. Prizes will be awarded for the most captivating yarns from New Eden’s finest storytellers.
Prepare for the GM Incursion! Gear up, stay sharp, and dive into the fun!
Dive into new dimensions of conflict, extract wealth from new resources, and command the combat zones using the powerful tools coming with the Revenant expansion on 12 November. Rise to supremacy in nullsec and beyond with two beacons of opportunity and challenge: formidable new Deathless ships with a deadly weapon that causes damage over time and resource-generating mercenary dens.
A Den of Wealth
Get ready for risk and riches, with new mercenary dens – small but volatile outposts anchored to orbital skyhooks around temperate planets. Use these dens to turn workforce into encrypted infomorphs, highly prized by the Deathless, and open the doors to smaller, fast-paced skirmishes.
They’re not just treasure troves though, but powder kegs waiting to explode into fierce battles for control. Anyone can sneak in and set one up, turning nullsec into a playground of covert ops and daring raids. Manage the delicate balance of development and anarchy, and you could reap incredible rewards – or watch your enemies profit from your downfall.
New Instruments of Destruction
Prepare for close-quarters carnage, ambush your enemies, and exert your dominance in nullsec with the Deathless’ newest creations: the nimble Tholos destroyer and the brutal Cenotaph battlecruiser.
A long awaited combination of Minmatar resilience and Caldari precision, these warships thrive on stealth, destruction, and raw aggression. Their secret weapon? The SCARAB breacher pod – a fearsome tool that sends shriker clones to wreak havoc on enemy ships, tearing through shields, armor, and hull from the inside. These deadly ships excel at stealth with the use of covert ops cloaks, and are resistant to stasis webifiers, staying fast and dangerous in the thick of battle.
Tune In!
Make sure to tune in to CCP TV for the Alliance Tournament finals this weekend, as on Sunday 27 October at 18:00 UTC, CCP Bee and CCP Trash Panda will dive deeper into these powerful additions to capsuleers’ arsenals.
You valiantly drove back the Drifter forces and brought an end to the siege of Zarzakh, and have since then worked tirelessly to bring the Deathless the key to a mysterious shrouded structure. Many of you have reaped great rewards by trading Atavum for blueprints and ISK in Zarzakh, or by selling them at Society of Conscious Thought stations.
The Deathless has now made it clear that he will have uses for Atavum further down the line. The current collection efforts and rewards are temporary, but it seems that there will be further opportunities to gain riches from Atavum after that window closes. The artifacts will, therefore, still have value and stay relevant, so there are still ample reasons to hunt for them.
The Society of Conscious Thought has also announced that it is willing to buy journal entries from explorers, as they were written by a former SoCT member. This introduces more avenues for adventurous capsuleers to earn wealth and rewards, so there is no shortage of opportunities out there.
New Eden is as unforgiving as ever. Everyone battles for survival, but domination takes teamwork, and with the Revenant expansion launching on 12 November, your corporation is about to level up. Think unmatched organizational supremacy as AIR is handing you fresh tools and the sky is no longer the limit in ship customization, so you and your fleet can fly as one, under your banner, making New Eden yours.
A simplified path to ruling the stars
Corporations are the beating heart of New Eden, and the beating down of your enemies if you know how to use the tools. With Expanded Project Parameters you can now create complex goals under a single project and without the need for a PhD in logistics! Gone are the days of creating separate tasks for each ship type or location, so now you can do more of what you do best, be a great leader!
Hate it when your corp members fly the same old ships when you know that’s not going to win the war? Introducing Ship Insurance – the key to automating your ship replacement program! Give your corp members peace of mind and get them flying the ships you know are needed to deliver your vision, your victory! Lost a ship? No problem…get paid, get undocking, and get revenge!
Tired of projects dragging on? Set deadlines to keep your capsuleers moving and get your plans into action. Procrastination exists, even in space, but with automatic expiration dates, time and money is of the essence and that will inspire action.
Making every member of your organization feel as though they are a significant part of your success is key. With Participation Limits you can now more evenly distribute responsibilities and foster a more diverse range of contributions from your members, so everyone has a role to play in your corp’s rise to power. Good for them, even better for you!
Together, these changes are making Corporation Projects more dynamic, transparent, and—most importantly—deadly. Set bigger goals, pull off crazier heists, and rally your corp to the top of the New Eden food chain. Furthermore, AIR - in collaboration with EverMore - are piloting a program allowing you to complete your daily goals using Evermarks, enabling capsuleers to spend more time focusing on your projects.
Elevating Your Identity
Looks matter, so why just dominate when you can do it with style? The Revenant expansion is taking ship skin customisation to new heights, enabling you to unify your fleet’s visuals and identity across New Eden. Share your corp’s signature SKIN designs with your members and make sure that when they see you coming, they know exactly who’s about to ruin their day.
Tailored SKIN listings now allow your brand managers to get your corp’s signature identity and flair into the hands of the right capsuleers – for however much or little PLEX or ISK they want. Paragon waives the fees for brand managers but collects a small EverMark fee from the corp member, so get synchronized in purpose and style. Brand managers' listings will be highlighted with a special background, because standing out is half the battle.
Unleashed Creativity
Ready to push creativity to the next level? Revenant is doubling your pattern potential with a second pattern slot for SKINR. Now you can layer your designs, create something truly unique, or just go wild with pattern combinations. Whether sleek and minimal or bold and brash, leave your impression on the battlefield.
Need a little inspiration? Hit the Randomize button and let the system generate fresh designs for you. Satisfaction guaranteed, and when you fly, you’ll turns heads—then blast them off.
Tune In!
Make sure to tune into CCP TV for the Alliance Tournament Finals this weekend, as on Sunday at 18:00 UTC CCP Bee, CCP Nikon and CCP Nomad will dive deeper into these upcoming additions to corporations’ toolkits.
Get Ready to Fly
You’ve never been stronger or had more ways to achieve your dreams. CEOs, rally your capsuleers. Directors, give them inspirational goals. Brand managers, gather and leverage your tools. With Revenant, there’s no time to waste, so start building your legacy.
New Eden is waiting. The question is, will you make it yours?
The Revenant expansion is coming on 12 November and the Deathless calls on capsuleers to equip for and join the ongoing war against the Drifters. Allegiance to this cause will come with great rewards, including fearsome new Deathless ships with powerful weapons. Intimidate your foes with SCARAB breach pods that cause damage over time and disrupt enemy ships from the inside.
New mercenary dens will bring added resources, value, and conflict to nullsec, major enhancements to Corporation Projects expand your ability to empower your groups and reach your goals, SKIN design options grow exponentially with a secondary pattern slot, and targeted SKIN listings allow you to tailor a unique look for your group and share it with your members. Vanguard forces will increase their impact on New Eden from the ground in the biggest update to the game yet, as they descend to the surface in a new public event from 28 November – 9 December.
The Deathless Calls
Once Drifter forces had been pushed back by valiant capsuleers and the siege of Zarzakh ended, a mysterious, shrouded structure appeared in the system. Now, the Deathless has sent out a rallying message to capsuleers to “bring him the key,” in the form of Atavum artifacts which have been discovered in various relic sites across New Eden. A recent attack on a Thukker convoy transporting goods to Zarzakh revealed a haul of Atavum, giving rise to speculation about its value, which has now become apparent.
The Deathless promises handsome rewards for anyone who brings Atavum to Zarzakh, although there is sure to be plenty of demand among other interested parties around New Eden.
Powerful New Deathless Ships
The Deathless has unveiled powerful new instruments of war – the Tholos destroyer and Cenotaph battlecruiser. Designed for bold, close-range combat, these ships will be the first to employ unique SCARAB breacher pods for sustained damage over time. This new technology will allow capsuleers to damage and disrupt enemy vessels from within, adding powerful new stratagems to warfare in New Eden.
These Minmatar-Caldari hybrid ships are perfect for pilots who relish high-risk, high-reward gameplay, whether in solo operations or fleet warfare. Armed with covert ops cloaking devices and a bonus to stasis webifier resistance, they can slip into enemy ranks undetected and unleash devastating damage, rewarding skilled capsuleers who make the most of their hit-and-run capabilities. Designed for brawling, they are powerful weapons that will provide a tactical edge in the ongoing war.
From Workforce to Wealth
Revenant also introduces mercenary dens – deployable structures that produce encrypted infomorphs by harnessing workforce. These infomorphs are highly sought after by the Deathless and can be exchanged for new and valuable rewards. Shortly after the launch of Revenant, mercenary dens will start generating activities called Tactical Operations, and engaging with (or ignoring) these activities will influence the production of encrypted infomorphs and impact a skyhook’s workforce output.
Furthermore, mercenary dens are vulnerable, and hostile pilots can potentially disrupt operations, further influencing workforce output and encrypted infomorph generation. This introduces new resources, activity, and potential for conflict in nullsec.
Achieve More with Enhanced Corp Projects
The Revenant expansion brings powerful new ways to strengthen and streamline corporation efforts, giving capsuleers even greater opportunities to contribute. Organization leaders of New Eden will gain more control and flexibility over their Corporation Projects, enabling them to tailor goals and tasks for maximum efficiency while also enhancing the experience for current or potential members. Expanded project parameters add flexibility, allowing creators to set comprehensive, complex and diverse goals. This enables leaders to create one project with multiple contribution options – such as mining in multiple locations or targeting various ship types and ship groups. Select project types will support expanded parameters on launch day, and more will be added later.
The new Ship Insurance project type will offer a streamlined way to automate ship replacement programs, providing a seamless and guaranteed compensation system based on the loss value. This project type will be added in an update shortly following the expansion launch and will support expanded project parameters.
Project deadlines will help corporation leaders prioritize goals and communicate the urgency and importance of specific projects, helping members prioritize their efforts. New project participation limits also enable more equitable involvement across members.
SKIN Your Corp
Revenant enhances organizational cohesion with targeted SKIN listings in the Paragon Hub, enhancing identity, unity, and a sense of belonging. The addition of a secondary pattern slot allows groups to create a distinctive look.
Brand managers can list custom SKINs exclusive to their corp or alliance, promoting a distinctive visual identity on the battlefield. When a targeted listing is posted by a brand manager there is no minimum PLEX or ISK price, and no SKINR service fee or Paragon Hub listing cost is applied —only a listing fee in EverMarks based on the SKIN's tier is collected from the buyer. All capsuleers will have easy access to any listings targeted directly at them in the Hub and are also able to target a SKIN listing directly to other capsuleers. This allows SKINs to be shared exclusively within trusted circles or sold to a wider customer base, fostering both a sense of camaraderie and a thriving marketplace.
A dedicated section in the Paragon Hub for corporation and alliance SKINs simplifies the process for members to locate and showcase their organization’s colors. Stand out on the battlefield with a coordinated fleet appearance that strengthens team spirit and enhances collective endeavors in New Eden.
Creativity Multiplied
Customization has never been more exciting or plentiful, as Revenant will introduce secondary and nested patterns to the SKIN design process. Designers can now apply a second pattern to their SKINs, creating complex layered designs for a unique and personalized look. A multitude of new patterns, ranging from bold geometric designs to more intricate and expressive visuals, will inspire capsuleers to push the limits of their designs, offering new ways to stand out in New Eden.
For capsuleers seeking spontaneous creativity or quick inspiration, a new “randomize” button will allow you to instantly generate new designs by cycling through combinations of patterns and colors. Whether you’re refining your corp’s signature look or experimenting with a personal style, the randomize function offers endless possibilities at the click of a button.
Partner with Paragon
Designers looking to delve deeper and become SKINdustrialists can take advantage of a new skill: Executive Paragon Partnership. This lowers fees associated with Paragon Hub transactions, increasing the profit margin and expanding the creative economy around SKINR customization. Partner with Paragon to carve out a name as a top designer in New Eden, shape the visual identity of your corporation or alliance, and profit from your unique creations.
Your Ships Elevated
With the Revenant expansion, ships take center stage as the updated ship information window offers a more dynamic and immersive way to view your ship’s details. Every aspect of your ship will be elevated, from stats and capabilities to visual presence, helping you make more informed decisions by offering an enriched understanding of its role and potential. The new interface also allows you to browse and apply SKINs directly, adds new view modes, and much more.
Reach Your Goals with EverMarks
For those who find certain daily goals out of reach or outside their playstyle, the ability to pay EverMarks to complete AIR Daily Goals will be added shortly following the expansion launch. This allows capsuleers to focus on the activities they enjoy the most, while still progressing and achieving their goals. It’s an effective way to maximize freedom and choice, offering the ability to stockpile EverMarks and use them strategically.
