Dear pilots of New Eden, 
EVE Echoes will undergo maintenance on 5/22/2024 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.

Nanocore Precise Disassembling Service
Added a preview interface when disassembling Nanocores to show the amount of materials obtainable.
The material return rate for standard disassembling, which was previously 68%~80% of the return base (decreases along with core level), has been adjusted to a fixed 70% x return base.
(Note: The return base is slightly lower than the server average and not the actual amount spent on each core upgrade)
When disassembling, you can choose the Precise Disassembling Service, which can return approximately 90% of the materials.
The Precise Disassembling Service is priced at 1000 AUR. Due to market regulation requirements, it has been temporarily converted to ISK. This price will adjust according to the current market exchange rate between PLEX and ISK, with the current price set at 10 billion ISK. It is recommended to use the Precise Disassembling Service for cores above level 4.
 
Intelligent Nanocore Repackaging
You can now repackage Intelligent Nanocores, which will return some materials and a Basic Nanocore (Purple) in the process.
The material return ratio is the same as the Basic Nanocore, i.e. 70%/90% of Tesseract Star Cores and some of the upgrade materials.
Basic Nanocores can be exchanged for other Nanocores of the same series using the Exchange function.

Yan-Jung Capital Ship Remote Armor System Refactoring
A special rig that can refactor the Lucent-Moon class armor system and Remote Armor system.
In addition to adjusting the Lucent-Moon class for armor superiority, it also gains comprehensive armor repair bonuses: +100% to Remote Armor Repairer effects, +500% to Repair Drone effects.
How to obtain: through Industrial Manufacturing or Store

Heavy Fighter Siege Modification System
A special modification system that enhances the combat capabilities of Supercarriers, capable of increasing the loading speed of fighters and enhancing the effects of the ship’s defense and cover modules.
Installing this rig will significantly boost the ship's mass and thruster, while reducing the inertia modifier. Maneuverability remains unchanged, and impact resistance is improved.
When the Cover Module is activated, the Supercarrier will absorb some of the damage taken by its fighters.
Training in Cover Module Operation skills can enhance the damage absorption effect, but it will only take effect once the super rig is installed.

Tsunami - Disruptive Lance
After several empires unveiled their own versions of the "Annihilator" Doomsday Weapon, the Caldari, pioneers in this field, have once again introduced an even more advanced Annihilator Doomsday Weapon.
This model significantly improves the firing capabilities while moving, and offers enhanced power and range, but it also requires more energy.

"Tactical Defense" Neural Response Implant
An implant designed to boost the Capsuleer's neural responsiveness, this device differs from typical cybernetic implants. Instead of being actively triggered, it passively enhances the Capsuleer's physical capabilities and ship-commanding skills.
Depending on the placement location, this implant can be activated concurrently with the 16 existing types of active cybernetic implants. Due to technological constraints, the Neural Response Implant currently cannot be equipped with General Units.
The first release is the "Tactical Defense" Neural Reaction Implant, which comprehensively enhances the control over the ship's defense system.
Tactical Defense (Level 1): Enhances control over the defense system, boosts ship Shield and Armor Strength as levels increase, accelerates repair speed, and enhances resistances to Capacitor Warfare and Weapon Disruption.
Predictive Trajectory (Level 15): Enhances awareness of projectile weapons such as cannons and railguns, boosts ship maneuverability and evasion capabilities against such attacks, making it easier for enemies to "miss."
Energy Resistance (Level 15): Increases damage resistance to energy weapons such as Lasers and Decomposers, reduces damage from such sources, and increases ship’s Capacitor Recharge Rate.
Explosive Resistance (Level 30): Increases damage resistance to explosive weapons such as missiles and bombs, reduces damage from such sources, and reduces the ship's Signature Radius.
Targeted Defense (Level 30): Using shield and armor defense systems for targeted defense against drones and fighters, reduces damage from such sources, and increases the ship's Scan Resolution.
Tactical Countermeasure (Level 45): Offense is the best defense. Significantly enhances controls over the ship’s radars, turrets, missiles, and drones.
How to Obtain (Limited Time): Can be obtained through the Store
How to Obtain (Regular): Currently unavailable. Enhances the Wasteseeker Centrum experience in about 2 weeks, which will include the addition of several new implant cores to the loot. These can be obtained through Reverse Engineering.

Needlejack Filaments
Added "Signal-10" and "Noise-10" Filaments, which can be used by up to 10 users.
The Jita market has listed 4 varieties of Spatial Rift Filaments, including Signal, Noise, Expedition, and Frontline series, priced between 20 million to 200 million ISK.

To help novice Capsuleers more easily acquire powerful Nanocores, the Decryption Key Supply is also now available. Purchase these supplies to obtain huge amounts of decoding keys.
Note: The 50% off coupon applies only to the Interstellar Featured Cores Opt Supply, up to a max limit discount of 10,000 AUR. The coupon will expire once the supply becomes unavailable.

Implants Now Available for Regular Sales
Regular Sales has resumed selling implants, now offering a new selection of Advanced and Standard Implant Opt Supply. Limited to 5 purchases per month.
Also, Elite Implant Supply Caches are introduced to make it easier for novice Capsuleers to get started. Enjoy a super value 50% discount on Advanced Implants, Advanced units, and numerous rewards including a huge amount of implant EXP.

ISK Exchange Store Now Open
The ISK Exchange Store is now officially open, featuring a variety of items. Capsuleers can use ISK to make purchases.
Items offered in the first edition: Free Skill Points, Ship SKIN Encrypted Safe General Decoder, General Nano Source III, Secret Trafficking Decoding Credentials, and other items.
The 50% off coupon in the store can only be used to purchase from the recommended Interstellar Featured Nanocores tabs, limited to 2 purchases during the event.
The Amethyst Cone items have been removed from the recommended tabs and added to the ISK Exchange Store.
Note: Except for the 50% off coupon, all other items are refreshed weekly.
ISK item prices will be adjusted according to the ISK value of PLEX for market regulation purposes. For instance, the price for Secret Trafficking Decoding Credentials is temporarily set at 2.5 billion ISK.
We have noticed that some low-level accounts are using AI Cores to inefficiently farm ISK, solely for the purpose of selling it on the market, which has negative repercussions. To counteract this, we have decided to adjust the pricing of Amethyst Cones to 10 million ISK for the first 10 each week, with the following 10 sold thereafter priced at 20 million ISK.
We also removed the Amethyst Cone reward from the Nanocore lucky draw.

Daily Special Points Exchange Store New Arrivals
