Capsuleers,

Volatile Ice Storms are roaming New Eden, pilots are busy hunting Yoiul LADs, and taking on seasonal challenges.

Capsuleers have struck a blow to the heart of EverMore’s corruption, but the final push is still ahead. The anonymous source within Verity Enhancements warns that the Paragon Hub discounts, now in the final week, are mere corporate distractions.

The real focus must be on destroying the Yoiul LADs and striking against EverMore. And this final week, the LADs drop more Cryo Tech than before.

The seasonal challenge track has been extended and more rewards added, including a whopping 75 PLEX (making the track total 100 PLEX – worth hundreds of millions of ISK on the market), as well as 100,000 Skill Points, a SKIN and Expert System for the new Perseverance ice mining destroyer – itself only available through the seasonal track via BPC – and more.

In addition, the Succubus (Sansha’s Nation frigate) has gotten a ship balance pass to celebrate the final phase of this year’s Winter Nexus. It has received a boost to its lock range, capacitor, power grid, and a new role bonus, reducing the activation cost of small energy turrets. While this coincides with the event, the change is permanent.

The daily login rewards and continued challenge track offer a wealth of stunning Aurora Universalis SKINs and SKINR components, so this is the perfect chance to decorate your ships.

If you need help to tackle the many activities on offer during the Winter Nexus, updated Community Fittings are now available.

If you’re looking for more help, capsuleers across New Eden have already put together excellent community guides and videos to get you through any stumbling blocks.

Momentous capsuleers,

As the year comes to a close, we look back at the year in EVE Online and celebrate capsuleer achievements, standout moments, and a lot of big numbers.

The Legion expansion[www.eveonline.com] introduced Freelance Jobs, letting capsuleers earn ISK and build reputation through player-created missions, while offering corporations a new way to grow. Two powerful new ships entered the battlefield: the Babaroga, a Triglavian marauder, and the Sarathiel, an Angel Cartel dreadnought. New sovereignty upgrades provided greater strategic control and flexibility, while corporation colors got a hex-coded upgrade. Here are the standout statistics for the Legion expansion:

The Catalyst expansion[www.eveonline.com] sparked a resource rush across New Eden with the discovery of prismaticite, harvested from phased asteroids. The mining experience was overhauled, with critical hits and mining mutaplasmids being introduced. O.R.E. debuted the Pioneer mining destroyer, along with a Consortium and Tech II variant, and the Sisters of EVE debuted a new vessel, the Odysseus-class expedition command ship. A new 2D starmap, PLEX transition logs, carrier updates, and access control lists for Freelance Jobs rounded out the expansion. Here are the standout statistics for the Catalyst expansion:

Congratulations are in order for the Tuskers Co., who emerged victorious for the second year in a row in Alliance Tournament XXI. See the AT wrap-up[www.eveonline.com] for all the juicy statistics. A total of 54 alliances participated in 140 matches for this year’s tournament. There were 711 kills worth an estimated total of 1.52 trillion ISK, with the most valuable flagship loss valued at 210.94 billion. And on the subject of expert marksmanship, congratulations are in order for the most valuable solo killmail – and commiserations for the most expensive ship loss.

Here are some more numbers on activity from around New Eden:

We bid a fond farewell to 2025. It was a year of industry, sovereignty, and massive upset among the alliances of New Eden. Here’s to an eventful new year. Happy holidays, and fly safe in 2026!
