Control the Battlefield
Meanwhile in nullsec, sovereignty continues to evolve. Legion introduces more flexibility and customization with three new categories of upgrades. New resource conversion upgrades give you more control over your resources, with the ability to generate workforce from power and vice versa. New system-wide modifiers let you lean into the strengths of your doctrine, offering bonuses to scanning, targeting, and specific combat styles:- Gamma Stability Generator: increasing shield HP and capacitor capacity [/*]
- Plasma Stability Generator: increasing armor HP and benefits to overloading modules [/*]
- Electric Stability Generator: increasing capacitor recharge rate, targeting and D-Scan range. [/*]
- Exotic Stability Generator: increasing scan resolution and AU/s warp speed. [/*]


Forge Your Legacy


Refit and Rebalance
Legion makes improvements across New Eden’s fleets. From strategic cruisers and logistics vessels to capital ships and beyond, this is a recalibration aimed at fostering more diverse engagements and deeper tactical play. Remote repair gameplay is being retooled to reward risk and skill. Overheating remote repairers will now yield greater results, letting support pilots push their tools harder when the moment demands it. Logistics cruisers are receiving targeted buffs, while strategic cruisers’ support subsystems get additional powergrid to accommodate more defensive modules or higher strength remote repairers. Cruiser hulls also benefit from this balance pass. The Thorax gains speed and powergrid, making it more competitive in fast skirmishes. The Rupture receives refined artillery bonuses, bringing new life to a long-standing favorite. Across the board, cruisers and Tech III hulls are being given enhanced remote armor repair capabilities, with the latter also receiving overheat bonuses, bringing new options for agile mid-scale engagements. The capital meta is also evolving. Fighter salvos from bombers and heavy bombers are being extended by 50%, increasing their field time before reloading. Meanwhile, Space Superiority Fighters are seeing a decrease in damage to subcapitals – reinforcing their role as anti-fighter specialists, rather than general-purpose damage dealers. These adjustments aim to consolidate their identity and carve out more space for subcapital fleets. Survivability is also going up. The rollback of the penalty to shield and armor extenders from the Surgical Strike update has been completed, now scaling up to 400% for supercarriers and 500% for titans. This is part of a broader effort to elevate supercapitals back into a more viable role, keeping pace with the rising power of faction and lancer dreadnoughts.
Chart the Future
The map is getting a major overhaul. A long-term project has begun to bring the new map up to parity with the classic experience and third-party tools. This first iteration will make it easier to apply and switch between filters, share filter sets in chat, and adds a view mode toggle as well as new quick action buttons to identify both your location and home station at a glance.
