The first PvP-free zone has appeared in EVE Online

After the release of the "Cradle of War" expansion in the space MMORPG EVE Online, a location with a complete ban on combat between players became available for the first time — attacking or becoming a victim of someone's attack here will not be possible. In this way, developers from the Icelandic studio CCP Games wanted to please both newcomers and veterans, as they announced in a recent letter to fans. Let's find out how to get to this safe zone, whether it's easy to leave it, and what heroes of the galaxy can do in it.

Let's start with the advantages of the peaceful sector for newcomers. The main advantage of the update is obvious: you can safely learn the basics of gameplay, spaceship control, and navigation rules. Since the release of "Cradle of War", all users start exactly in this zone. Leaving it, however, is easy — to do this, you need to reach the gates in high-security space or use the passage of the Empire's Shipwreckers headquarters, but the second method is one-time. But entering back, having already received an active combat flag for attacking other capsuleers, will not be possible. In addition, despite the peaceful status of the location, you can still lose a ship in it — during missions with PvE battles.

Experienced users, in turn, will find new friends here and will be able to take someone under their wing to familiarize the newcomer with the conditions of survival in New Eden. Besides, old-timers of the game will be able to gather resources in a calm environment, but occupying other people's structures will not be possible, and factional wars are invalid here. There is a chance to earn from destroying NPCs, but with a 20% experience penalty. In the PvP-free zone, there are four ship stations (one for each empire) — each will allow you to quickly move to the high-sec of your faction.
