[p]Momentous capsuleers,[/p][p]As the year comes to a close, we look back at the year in EVE Online and celebrate capsuleer achievements, standout moments, and a lot of big numbers.[/p][h2]Legion Expansion[/h2][p]The Legion expansion introduced Freelance Jobs, letting capsuleers earn ISK and build reputation through player-created missions, while offering corporations a new way to grow. Two powerful new ships entered the battlefield: the Babaroga, a Triglavian marauder, and the Sarathiel, an Angel Cartel dreadnought. New sovereignty upgrades provided greater strategic control and flexibility, while corporation colors got a hex-coded upgrade. Here are the standout statistics for the Legion expansion:[/p][p][/p][h2]Catalyst Expansion[/h2][p]The Catalyst expansion sparked a resource rush across New Eden with the discovery of prismaticite, harvested from phased asteroids. The mining experience was overhauled, with critical hits and mining mutaplasmids being introduced. O.R.E. debuted the Pioneer mining destroyer, along with a Consortium and Tech II variant, and the Sisters of EVE debuted a new vessel, the Odysseus-class expedition command ship. A new 2D starmap, PLEX transition logs, carrier updates, and access control lists for Freelance Jobs rounded out the expansion. Here are the standout statistics for the Catalyst expansion:[/p][p][/p][h2]Alliance Tournament XXI[/h2][p]Congratulations are in order for the Tuskers Co., who emerged victorious for the second year in a row in Alliance Tournament XXI. See the AT wrap-up for all the juicy statistics. A total of 54 alliances participated in 140 matches for this year’s tournament. There were 711 kills worth an estimated total of 1.52 trillion ISK, with the most valuable flagship loss valued at 210.94 billion. And on the subject of expert marksmanship, congratulations are in order for the most valuable solo killmail – and commiserations for the most expensive ship loss.[/p][p][/p][h2]More Numbers, More Mayhem[/h2][p]Here are some more numbers on activity from around New Eden:[/p][p][/p][h2]Happy New Year[/h2][p]We bid a fond farewell to 2025.

[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Winter in New Eden is stunning but deadly. Right now, Volatile Ice Storms roam the cluster, Yoiul LADs (Logistical Automated Deliveries) are being hunted, and capsuleers are busy taking on seasonal challenges.[/p][p][/p][p]Whether you’re a newcomer to EVE Online or a seasoned veteran on hiatus, now is the perfect time to jump in, with these amazing deals on the Steam Winter Sale.[/p][p][/p][p]Don’t miss this opportunity to earn more for less![/p][p]o7[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Capsuleers,[/p][p]
The Volatile Ice Storms are here, and now is the time to tackle them and the challenges they hold![/p][p]
Until 12 January, you can enter the storms, take on seasonal activities, and hunt Yoiul LADs (Logistical Automated Deliveries) to unlock greater challenges and loot within the sites.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Storms are rife with challenges for fighters, hackers, and miners, each with fresh ways to advance the seasonal track and earn big rewards, including the new Perseverance ice-mining destroyer.[/p][p][/p][h2]Yoiul LAD Hunt[/h2][p]Yoiul LADs, automated InterBus ships named after the Yoiul Clones, are roaming Volatile Ice Storms all across known space, and a whistleblower within EverMore claims they’re not as harmless as advertised.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Destroying them carries the possibility of dropping Cryo Tech, which unlocks greater challenges and rewards for every playstyle: tougher combat sites for fighters, extra relays for explorers to hack, and richer salvage crates for miners. Certain Cryo Tech also has the effect of allowing marauders to access combat sites in highsec, which is otherwise off limits to them.[/p][p]
Be sure to add InterBus Yoiul LADs to the list of entities visible in your overview![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Rewards, Gifts & a Growing Storm[/h2][p]The seasonal reward track is packed with Aurora Universalis SKINs, PLEX, Skill Points, and other storm-themed items.[/p][p]
Progress through the track and claim the Perseverance, a new ice-mining variant of the Pioneer mining destroyer introduced in the Catalyst expansion. This vessel is currently only available by completing Winter Nexus challenges.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]During the final week, the track extends further, with an extra set of rewards unlocking in the final push.[/p][p]
Daily login rewards add even more SP, SKINs, SKINR components, and event goods.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Paragon Hub Discounts[/h2][p]Throughout Winter Nexus, creating SKINs in the Paragon Hub will be cheaper and faster: sequencing costs will be discounted 50% and sequencing time will be reduced by 90%. That makes this the perfect moment to take your customization efforts to the next level.[/p][p][/p][h2]Winter Festival Pack[/h2][p]A seasonal pack is also available for those seeking a festive glow, including Omega time, PLEX, Yoiul Star SKINs (for the Retribution, Harbinger, Cerberus, and the Odysseus), Winter Nexus themed SKINR components, and more.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Enter the storms and make every day count. Winter Nexus is live, and it’s time to start hunting.[/p]
