Alone, they can realistically only accomplish basic PvE and mining tasks. But they can quickly upgrade to larger ships such as high-damage destroyers designed to kill frigates or tanky cruisers that can take a lot more of a beating, and this isn't just a linear upgrade path. Every ship has a purpose in the context of a group, and the lowly tech 1 frigate can play the vital role of PvP tackler after just a few days of skill training and mentoring.
As part of a small gang, the tackler's role is to get close to enemy ships and hold them in place while the big guns do the killing, using a Warp Disruptor or Warp Scrambler to keep the enemy from warping away and Stasis Webs to physically slow their ship down.
Further training allows players to specialise into other PvP fleet roles, flying heavy damage-dealing cruisers, logistics ships that repair friendly ships on the battlefield, or electronic warfare ships that can target-jam enemy ships. This encourages players to band together for mutual benefit, forming corporations and alliances with shared identities, motivations, and long-term goals.
Large training organisations such as Signal Cartel, EVE University, Pandemic Horde, and Karmafleet regularly recruit new players and offer everything from free ships and advice to structured activities. Even a small independent corporation can build and maintain its own space stations, see success with roaming PvP gangs, and tackle high-end PvE content such as dangerous wormhole anomalies and combat sites.
Lone wolves will typically only be able to engage in repetitive solo PvE play such as combat missions, mining, and trading, can struggle to stay alive outside of high-security space, and will be extremely hard pressed to find PvP fights they can win.
EVE Online is a ruthlessly social game that can be difficult to succeed in on your own, which is both its greatest strength and one of its most cited failings. EVE Online is to this day one of the most fascinating virtual worlds to observe and to read about.
On the largest scales, huge alliances gather thousands of players together into massive fleets and carve up lucrative areas of the galaxy between them, giving rise to politics and warfare that often mirrors the real world in startling detail. There are areas of space controlled by coalitions of American and European alliances, regions annexed by the Russian power blocs, and countless neutral states and vassals paying tithe to far-off lords.
Most new players will give EVE a try after reading some incredible story of a record-breaking war or political betrayal in the sandbox, only to be confronted by a terminally slow game with so much depth you could drown in it. Many do. A combination of more than 15 years of new features and niche gameplay that remains distinct in the MMO genre conspire to make EVE a difficult game for the average person to get into and enjoy. A compelling virtual world that stands the test of time with an incredible year history.
We spare no efforts to face the challenge and refine the game. Though, there may be unknown difficulties and risks in the upcoming future, we desire to present a satisfying game.
Over the past year, however, we have received a lot of feedback from players about black screens and disconnections during large scale battles. This happens for a number of reasons. Firstly, the client performance and network stability on mobile devices are indeed more uncontrollable than on PC. Secondly, the complexity of PVP battlefields is progressively increasing as more module is released, players level up in technology and command levels increase.
Thirdly, the tight release schedule and limited development resources have let us include more resources towards the development of new gameplay and new content. We apologise for the bad in-game experience and thank all pilots for your tolerance.
In fact, we have been actively addressing this issue. The Performance Mode released in November is just one of the solutions, as well as many other imperceptible performance improvements, which have been released through weekly maintenance. The tactical overlay released in December is also a feature that we have overcome through many performance challenges. With more team experiences gained, more resources will be devoted to performance optimizations in the future.
Basic Experience Over the past year, we have focused a lot of time and manpower on completing updates to content that complements the game's framework and gameplay loop. For example: Exploration, which adds exploration gameplay and addresses the low risk but high reward of low-sec PVP; Corporation Citadels and add-on structures, which complements the Sovereignty gameplay in nullsec zones; and Capital Ships, which complements the need for strategic-level weapons that can have a decisive impact on the battlefield in Sovereignty.
However, due to the limitations of the total manpower and resources, this has led to the delay of some of the optimization content that players have been concerned about. In the new year, we will focus more on resolving known issues that have been delayed and on improving the quality of the game.
Examples of those already in progress are 1. For these and other reasons, PAPI fleet commanders and players themselves balked at the prospect of launching the final push into enemy space. As its fleets assembled for that offensive, word came that allies all along the front line were pulling out. With their flanks exposed, most of the assembled capsuleers chose to turn and run. The Imperium held strong, did not waver, and outlasted the most ferocious assault ever seen in Eve.
I offer an honest congratulations to all The Imperium pilots, and especially their leaders, who kept their community strong and intact over this long year of war. They have proved stronger than the entirety of Eve that pushed against them. The Imperium, for its part, refuses to mark the end of hostilities. Now they are out for revenge. This wasn't the first time the Imperium had been pushed into a corner by half the galaxy, which only strengthened the morale of its frontline soldiers.
Meanwhile, PAPI's own armadas seemed to be slowing down, with engagements happening less and less frequently. In an interview with PCGamesN , CCP Games community developer Peter Farrell speculated that easing pandemic quarantines meant fewer players were keen to hole up inside for hours on end shooting spaceships. Fearing the stalemate would sputter out, PAPI leadership renewed the war effort several weeks ago intending to drag Goonswarm into a series of deathmatches that would ultimately decide the war once and for all.
The battle raged for hours before PAPI forces unexpectedly began to retreat. Minutes later word was spreading that alliances within PAPI were withdrawing from the war altogether and heading home.
It's not clear what exactly happened—and everyone has their own version of events—but in a matter of hours PAPI's joint leadership completely collapsed into their separate alliances. In an emergency town hall meeting , TEST leader Progodlegend announced the alliance's imminent retreat and blamed part of the defeat on developer CCP Games and some recent changes it had made to the in-game economy that supposedly damaged TEST's wartime economy. It was a serious gut punch there from CCP," he said.
