It’s time for the Cradle of War to get rocked inEVE Online. OK, perhaps that’s a bit too reactionary, but the fact of the matter is that the gankbox’s latest updatehas indeed made some major changes to things that are likely important to players who are seeking to ram their internet spaceships into other people’s internet spaceships.
Some of the larger changes applied are related to ansiblex jump bridges and their new reliance on capacitor power in order for fleets to be flung through space. This comes with associated capacitor costs for various ships, changes in capacitor costs based on jump distance, and the halting of capitals from using the structure.
Another big piece of the update affects factional warfare and insurgencies, with a primary goal of “turning them into more of a chaotic race where both sides look to win instead of focusing solely on maximizing the payout from the sites themselves” according to Fenris Creations. This broadly includes tighter timelines and length for insurgencies, tweaks for multiple related values like corruption and respawns, and adjustments to rewards.
Other updates include some a new complex for factional warfare, fleet size reductions for a pair of Pochven sites, and some balancing for several ships, items, and locations in wormholes, among other things. There’s a lot to digest, so take a moment tocomb through the patch notes or you can sit and watch the devs jaw about it in the video below.
