New Content
Capital Ship Rig II
With the advancement of Capital Ship rigging technology, the Capital Ship Rig II is now available for manufacture and use.
How to obtain (Regular): Use Type I Blueprints, Datacores, and Rigging Experiment Data to perform reverse engineering and obtain Type II blueprints, then manufacture with them.
Tip: Capital Ship Rigging Experiment Data can be obtained from loot crates from Capital Ship Nihilus Space and Capital Ship Proving Grounds.

New Integrated Rig
4P Combat Integrated Module + and 4P Engineering Integrated Module + are now available for manufacture and use.
Attribute Efficiency: 80%
Multiplier of Rigs Need: 12
How to obtain (Regular): Obtain blueprints (rare drops) by scanning the highest-level Relics, then manufacture with them.
How to obtain (Limited Time): Purchase from the Store's Hot Selection, which is available for a limited time.
Suggestion: Due to the high number of rigs required for integration and the fact that insurance only covers the integrated rig itself, it is not recommended to use it in large-scale battles where destruction is likely.

Integrated Rig Precise Dismantling Service
You can now use the Precise Dismantling Service to revert integrated rigs back to their unintegrated state. All integrated rigs will be fully returned to the station hangar.
Due to the complexity of the process, using the Precise Dismantling Service requires a service fee (ISK).
This service is suitable for dismantling Advanced Rigs. For basic rigs, it is recommended to use the existing standard dismantling and packing service.
Tip: Integrated rigs can only be dismantled individually. When selecting multiple items for dismantling and packing, integrated rigs will be automatically ignored.

New Advanced Implant Unit
Five new Advanced Implant Units have been introduced, as follows:
Pulse Crystal Capacitor Reinforcement
An advanced unit for Pulse Crystal that reinforces the ship capacitors. Reduces weapon power consumption during skill activation. Increases the ship's maximum capacitor capacity. Reduces the shield percentage consumed by Reverse Power.
Barrage Repression Firing Reinforcement
An advanced unit that reinforces Barrage Repression firing capabilities. Increase cannon tracking speed. Reduce Barrage Repression restart time. Increase Suppressive Fire duration and enhance the velocity decrease effect.
Thermal Circulation Power Control Reinforcement
An advanced unit for Thermal Circulation that strengthens power control systems. Increase power gain from Salvo. Increase the power cap, but power now decreases faster after overheating. Reduce restrictions on Overdrive skill activation.
Warhead Charge Warhead Reinforcement
An advanced unit for Warhead Charge that enhances warhead-specific effects. Reduce Precision Warhead damage and further decrease its explosion radius. Reduce Range-extending Warhead damage penalties. Increase damage bonuses for the four single-attribute warheads.
Aerospace Tactics Precision Reinforcement
An advanced unit that enhances the precision of aerospace tactic system. Improve drone tracking speed and range. Reduce the explosion radius of fighters.
Due to the variety of implant types, advanced units for other implant types will be introduced later.
How to Obtain:
Purchase from the Store, which is available for a limited time.
It is expected to be added as drops in Malpais in two weeks.

1. Optimized some of the missions. When the 7-day missions are first generated, they will recommend gameplay missions based on the Capsuleer's returnee questionnaire choices. Capsuleers can also change to other types of mission through refresh.
2. Reduced the number of 7-day missions that can be completed daily, from 5 to 4.
3. Optimized the rewards for 7-day missions. The Aeon Shards reward for each mission is standardized to 400, and the daily max limit of Aeon Shards obtainable has been increased from 1500 to 1600.

Strengthened Anti-Cheat Penalty Announcement
To create a fairer gaming environment and protect Capsuleer interests, the customer service has strengthened the anti-cheat penalties. Capsuleers who identify suspicious individuals can report them to the customer service.
Overview of Four Common Penalty Cases:
Individuals found using cheats to earn bounties or mine will face an initial penalty of 20-40 billion ISK, depending on the impact and duration of use. Continued violations after the first penalty will result in significantly increased penalties, with severe cases leading to permanent bans.
If more than 10 members of the same Corporation are found using cheats, the Corporation will be temporarily restricted from trading, and a portion of its ISK will be deducted.
If more than 20 members of the same Corporation are found using cheats, and the total number of active members is relatively low, the Corporation will be permanently shut down.
Using automated surveillance cheats to monitor local channels will result in a permanent ban.
