PROTEUS RELEASE ON JANUARY 13TH AND A STATUS UPDATE ON SOVEREIGNTY






Combat Recon Ships Undetectable by Directional Scanning

Those goals lead us to the following major changes:

Combat Recons will now be permanently undetectable by directional scanners
All eight Recons will have their resist profiles brought up to Heavy Assault Cruiser level
All eight Recons will have the capacitor cost of warping reduced by roughly half
Where appropriate, bonuses will be adjusted to match ship developer trends
All eight Recons are having their capacitor pool and capacitor regeneration buffed (roughly 20% increase in cap regen)
The average maximum velocity across the class is going up by around 20m/s




Redesigned Exequror Hull





10 Module Groups Rebalanced

Module Tiericide
With Module Tiericide, we are taking our aim at another set of tiers that can stifle choice: meta levels.





New Visual Effects in Asteroid Belts





New Features for the Beta Starmap

Additions likely to make it into the Proteus release are things like a standalone system view, probe scanning support, directional scanning cone visualized in the system view and mouse-over information on stars, planets and moons.



Small Scale Mining Anomalies in Starting Systems

Mining opportunities in starter and career agent systems





Teams Retiring

In Proteus, we will retire the Teams feature that is currently part of Industry.





A New Voice for Aura in German and Russian

For Russian Aura we have used a voice actress, but for the German version several players suggested we contact EVE player Naburi NasNaburi, a popular pirate amongst German-speaking capsuleers.





The Proteus Theme

Proteus comes with more music from EVE composer CCP RealX.





A Status Update on our Work on Sovereignty Gameplay

We will evolve these key systems with the ambition of strengthening the unique sandbox gameplay in EVE, making territorial warfare available to both big and small groups, creating more meaningful objectives and gameplay connected to it, and offering quality of life changes to anyone operating in EVE connected to this gameplay. You can also expect the unfolding events in New Eden to make a difference for all areas of the universe.
