Attention, Pilots!

A major expansion is approaching fast (scheduled for end of October). It will feature a new player ship, the

Colonial Sentinel

, a medium fighter class ship, which will impress with some sophisticated electronic warfare capabilities and a special shield, featuring twice as much capacity as the standard model. You will also be able to use a plethora of new weapons, devices and consumables to fool, distract, and defeat enemies in new ways.

All-new factory space stations add further gameplay mechanics to the game experience, by offering special on-the-fly services, like refining and converting resources, upgrading ship capabilities or minor repair jobs. Furthermore, you will even be able to pay the Okkar Homeworld a visit. Along your journey, you will also encounter new story characters, who will offer individual questlines.

More details about the content and the pricing will follow soon.

New Features

• Added Hardcore Mode

Hi, we've just released a new update adding 4k support for Xbox One X at 30 fps and an Xbox One X performance mode running in Full HD with imrpoved graphics at 60 fps.

The update also comes with some bug fixes. See the list of changes below. Unfortunately, Unreal Engine 4.17 (which this new patch is using) broke our VR implementation, so we can't release this patch on Steam and GOG at the moment. So in order to release we need to have a running Unreal Engine 4.18 version. We started working on this a few weeks ago and are still not finished, as this version also caused a lot of problems (especially in VR) for us.

We also just started working on the Encounters expansion for Xbox One / Windows Store. This might take a few weeks as well.

New Features

• Xbox One: Added Enhanced FullHD and 4K Mode for Xbox One X
  

Tweaks

• Don't spawn old player wreck after current run was won
  
• Make sure generic repair

Encounters

is the first major expansion for EVERSPACE™, enriching the game world with new story characters and questlines, a brand-new player ship, freighter-loads of novel equipment, additional enemies, and much more.

This expansion is as of now available on Steam and GOG. We currently can't give you a release date for the Xbox and Windows Store, as we currently don't have a working Windows Store version.

A NEW RIDE

Impress your peers with the new Colonial Sentinel, a medium fighter craft, and make use of its powerful shield and advanced electronic warfare capabilities. Mileage may vary.

NEW FRIENDS?

Play five new quest lines and meet new characters, each with their own motivations and agendas. Ever met a robot bounty hunter with a French accent who would rather create than destroy? Of course not. Or an alien scientist who sends you on a hunt for space creatures? That's right. Creatures... in space.

Quote from EVE Online News

An issue has come to our attention today through discussion with the CSM.

The minimum deployment distance restrictions for Upwell Structures near Infrastructure hubs (at least 1000km away) are not correctly applying to Factional Warfare Infrastructure Hubs, meaning Pilots can deploy an Upwell Structure close enough that a Factional Warfare IHUB would be well within its sphere of influence.

This was never intended to be permitted, and will be fixed in early January.

Until this is fixed, it will be considered an exploit to anchor an Upwell Structure within 1000km proximity of a Factional Warfare IHUB.

Pilots who currently have structures anchored next to Factional Warfare IHUBs will be contacted by the GM Team soon with instruction to unanchor them.

If structures are not unanchored within the requested time frame, they will be destroyed.

This exploit is scheduled to be fixed with the January release.

Today’s Alpha Ship Spotlight is focused on the Harbinger class battlecruiser, which serves as one of the Amarr Navy’s primary heavy laser platforms.

Designed almost perfectly to be the baby brother of the Abaddon class battleship, Amarr starship engineering principles are seen at work in most of the Harbinger’s attributes. Heavy armor, a strong line up of turret hardpoints, and systems that give sizeable bonuses to damage and weapons efficiency make the Harbinger a lethal damage platform.

Seen by Amarr officers as a solid solution to ever-increasing numbers of hit and run attacks against Imperial Armed Forces assets by the Republic Fleet, the Harbinger is designed from the keel up to scorch heathens from existence.

Anything that remains is usually dispatched with ease by a compliment of drones.

Continuing our exploration of battlecruisers, this Ship Spotlight will focus on the Minmatar Republic’s Hurricane class.

In typical no-nonsense Matari fashion, the Hurricane’s design principles are relatively simple – speed, power and surprise, which make it perfect for guerrilla warfare and the typical lighting fast incursions that the Republic Fleet are famed for.

A highly versatile vessel, the Hurricane has enough turret hardpoints for a full-scale assault while remaining flexible enough to allow for plenty of missile fire. Couple this with sufficient speed to outrun its enemies and enough power capacity to outlast them, and the threat this nimble hull poses becomes very apparent.

With simple turret oriented bonuses to damage, rate of fire, optimal range and falloff, the Hurricane can be deadly in the

The last of the battlecruisers in this series of Ship Spotlights, we’ll take a look at the Brutix, from the Gallente Federation.

While also adept at engaging at more of a distance with a railgun based loadout, the Brutix is very much at home as a warp to zero, in your face damage dealer.

Regarded as one of the most ferocious war vessels to ever spring from Gallente starship design, the Brutix is a behemoth in every sense of the word. When this hard-hitting monster appears, the battlefield takes notice.

With bonuses to damage, optimal range and falloff, coupled with a repair bonus that allows it to have the edge on the field when fitted correctly, the Brutix is fearsome in close quarters combat.

A relatively new hull developed by Mordu’s Legion engineers in response to rumours of a new type of fast attack vessel from the Guristas Pirates, the Orthrus was born as part of a new breed of rapid strike vessels.

The crash development of this family of ships has seen the emergence of a new style of vessel that provides both tactical flexibility and solid firepower across several ship lines.

The Orthrus is at the core of Mordu’s Legion’s newest strike formations, and provides superior projection of damage using flexible missile subsystems, while still leaving room for fast target interdiction and the ability to effectively control the range at which engagements take place.

This ship spotlight with focus on one of two hulls from the Servant Sisters of EVE that are featured in this series – this time it’s the Stratios class cruiser.

A formidable drone platform with an armoured hull to match, the Stratios is perfectly suited to exploring and surviving the perils of deep space, and shines when flown in situations where exploring an unknown or hostile area of space is a key part of deployment.

While Alpha pilots will not benefit from the Covert Ops bonuses of the Stratios, this well-built cruiser still provides ample firepower, drone versatility and capability for non-covert exploration and astrometry that can be utilized by those flying with Alpha clones.

Today’s Ship Spotlight will focus on the second of the Angel Cartel vessels in the group we’ll be exploring – the Cynabal class cruiser.

On point during any Angel Cartel raid, the Cynabal is a fast attack cruiser that excels at providing a platform for hard hitting guerrilla warfare. With three bonuses dedicated to maximizing the damage application of its four turrets, plus a bonus to warp speed and warp acceleration, the Cynabal is adept at staying ahead of the pack while also having the ability to inflict crippling damage.

One of the earliest designs to come out of the Angel Cartel, the Cynabal’s function and blueprint has barely changed over the years, and it has remained a key vessel within the Cartel's fleet since it was first introduced.

This Ship Spotlight will focus on a second hull from the Servant Sisters of EVE – the Astero class frigate.

Particularly adept at venturing into dangerous territories for the purposes of astrometry and recovering valuable salvage, the Astero is packed with highly advanced and heavily bonused sensor systems that make it perfect for scouting and surveying.

While Alpha pilots will not benefit from the Covert Ops bonuses of the Astero, this adaptable little frigate packs fantastic versatility and great durability with bonuses based around increasing drone and armor durability.

Our final of fifteen ship spotlights will focus on what is arguably one of the most powerful frigates widely available in the cluster – the Worm class frigate, designed by the Guristas Pirates.

An all-out combat frigate that relies on massive drone and missile damage to decimate its prey, the Worm was built for a singular purpose - piracy. With a huge bonus to drone durability and damage, coupled with a bonus to missile damage and shield resistance, the worm has the damage to threaten quite a few cruiser class hulls that roam the space lanes of New Eden.

A front line vessel for the Guristas Pirates, this light, fast, hard hitting hull has become a favourite among capsuleers across the cluster.
