Sovereign capsuleers,
It’s been nine days since Equinox launched, and you have certainly been busy! SKINdustrialists have been traveling far and wide to find SKINR components in space to craft thousands of amazing designs, while the new Upwell industrial ships have been snagging kills left and right, as well as doing their fair share of exploding. Over in nullsec, orbital skyhooks are stocking up on superionic ice and magmatic gas, and Metenox moon drills are busy harvesting. [previewyoutube=fwDQGRCxfHU;full][/previewyoutube] As part of the phased rollout of Equinox, IRIS has announced that the Paragon Hub will now allow the sale of player-created SKINs, three Homefront Operations have been added, tailored toward smaller groups, and there is an important announcement regarding the transition to the new sovereignty system.Unleash your creativity with SKINR
Capsuleers, your wait is over! The Paragon Hub is now fully open, allowing you to trade your SKIN masterpieces, created through SKINR. Buy, sell, and showcase your unique ship SKINs, enhancing the personalization of your fleets, make massive profits from your artistic talents, and start building your design empire. Paragon is thrilled to support capsuleers in expressing their individuality and creativity.
TRANSITION TO THE NEW SOVEREIGNTY SYSTEM
The Equinox expansion introduces new Upwell structures and customization opportunities: the sovereignty hub, sovereignty upgrades, the orbital skyhook, and the Metenox moon drill. These structures harvest and make use of a whole new set of resources to New Eden. These resources redefine what makes a system or constellation valuable, adding unprecedented topology to sovereign nullsec space.
SMALL FLEETS, HUGE IMPACT
In response to player feedback, three new Homefront Operations sites have been introduced, specifically tailored for groups of three players and set in highsec space. This change addresses the difficulty many capsuleers faced in consistently meeting the five-player requirement, allowing smaller teams to engage in these operations.
CELEBRATE SOLSTICE
In addition to the reinvigoration of nullsec, and continuing with the new upgrades, planetside combat zones are more action-packed and dangerous than ever. The Solstice event for EVE Vanguard runs from 12:00 UTC on 20 June – 12:00 on 1 July, bringing the biggest update yet, including a stunning yet hazardous new map to conquer, new activities, objectives, and cool gadgets, in addition to gun SKINs, and much more. There has never been a more exciting time to jump into the in-development sandbox FPS.
