Patch Notes - June 15

2022-06-14

Dear pilots of New Eden,
EVE Echoes will undergo maintenance on 6/15/2022 at 08:00 (UTC+0) and will take approximately 120 minutes to complete. During this time, players will be unable to log in to the game. We kindly ask for your understanding and patience during the maintenance.

New Content
Upgraded UI of New Eden Store
Spike the Magnate has overhauled the New Eden Store for the Interstellar Bazaar. Three new sections, "Bestseller Combo," "Regular Sales," and "Exchange Store," have been added. The visible area of the product details has been expanded to bring a better shopping experience to all Capsuleers.

Illusionary Ghost Nanocore
Exclusive to Interstellar Bazaar, the "Illusionary Ghost" Nanocore comes with stunning glitch art and provides unparalleled attribute bonuses. In addition to that, it also provides an engaging music visualizer and dazzling special effects for your ship. Fit this Nanocore to your ship immediately, and you'll make New Eden glamorous tonight!

New Song: Enigmatic Blues
Spike the Magnate has invited Miss Iristar, a famous musician from New Eden, to produce a new song named Enigmatic Blues for the Interstellar Bazaar. The unique retro and psychedelic style goes well with the bustling night scene of the metropolis.

System Distance Calculator
To make it easier for Capsuleers to plan jump routes, a distance calculation function has been added to the Star Charts page. A system selected can be simulated as the jump start or end point, and the real-time distance will be shown.

Jump Clone
In response to the growing demand for rapid assembly and travel, CONCORD has authorized the launch of the jump clone. Upon registering at a Cloning Center and spending some ISK, Capsuleers can immediately create a jump clone in a station in another system.
After cloning, you will enter a state of fatigue which takes 48 hours to recover. You can learn skills to reduce the recovery time or purchase nerve relief services to quicken the recovery.
There are Cloning Centers in Capsuleer Outposts and Corporation Outposts, but the permissions to dock and use them are required for registration and cloning.
Capsuleers can only register for one Cloning Center initially. Learning skills can increase the max limit and reduce the cost of cloning. However, the maintenance cost of linking multiple Cloning Centers will increase exponentially. CONCORD reminds the Capsuleers to register the number of Cloning Centers as needed.

New Skills
Learning the Infomorph Synchronizing skill, which can be purchased with ISK, can reduce jump clone recovery time and cloning cost as well as increase the max limit of registered Cloning Centers.
