EVE Online Receives Catalyst Expansion

Employees of the Icelandic company CCP Games decided to rethink the roles of ships in their space MMORPG EVE Online. The result of these plans was an update where gamers can expect balance changes, new opportunities for carrier pilots, increased enemy activity in several sectors of New Eden, real elections in the Gallente Federation, and much more. Those who are ready to complete missions for rewards have not been forgotten either — such gamers will find plenty of valuable loot.

Capsuleers of New Eden now have starships with modified characteristics for clearer role distribution in battles, and this applies even to PvE. For example, Black Ops-class ships now have higher damage but lower survivability, which should emphasize their purpose — they were originally designed for sudden raids, not long sieges. Carriers, on the contrary, have become more durable. Additionally, their pilots now have the ability to deploy CRAB beacons to initiate PvE battles and earn more trophies. SOCT ships and dreadnoughts were also balanced.

The developers have deliberately made some areas of the galaxy more dangerous, including the Observatory. According to their plan, this should stimulate frequent skirmishes and lead to faster character progression, as rewards have also been increased. Particular attention in this context should be paid to the "Pochven" system. And those who want to acquire prizes without unnecessary risk are welcome to participate in the election of the President of the Gallente Federation. Not only will you influence the style of this faction's technology, but you will also receive rewards for activity. After all, "voting" is designed as a quest chain with bonuses for completing each stage.
