Cradle of War, the new expansion for EVE Online, is here. Turn the tide of the war in Military Campaigns, showcase your titles and achievements, dominate with new ships, experience historical battles in a new Epic Arc, and introduce rookie capsuleers to the game through the new starter space.
The empires call on every capsuleer to fight for their cause in time-limited military campaigns. Take up arms, mine for resources, run logistics, or hack enemy arrays. Every action you take will push your empire closer to victory. Their success depends entirely on you, and your action will have a lasting impact.
Whatever the outcome, New Eden changes. Monuments rise, infrastructure is built, history is written by the victors. Failure leaves scars.
Fresh seasonal Factional Warfare complexes will also pop up in the warzones, including sites designed for Tech III destroyers, Battlecruisers, Interceptors, and also solo frigates. Highsec systems adjacent to the warzone – called bulwark systems - will contain seasonal mining and hacking sites for the duration of the current Military Campaigns.
There is no neutrality in this conflict. What you do, or choose not to do, will impact New Eden forever.
Every capsuleer has a story. Now you can display it. With titles and achievements, your journey is displayed, marking what you’ve done, pointing toward what comes next, and letting the universe know exactly who they’re dealing with.
Every moment in your journey, the victories, the disasters, all of it, deserves recognition. What will your first title be?
The journey of a thousand light years begins with the first step. Starter space is where you take yours. Exordium is a new region of space built for new pilots, to explore, learn, and find friends to fly with before venturing further into New Eden.
In starter space, rookie capsuleers can learn and sharpen their skills through trial and error in a community of fellow beginners, in the first non-PvP region of New Eden.
Veterans can also use starter space to connect with, recruit, and mentor the next generation of capsuleers.
As of 10 June, you can experience the legendary battles that defined the big four empires in the new Visions of Greatness Epic Arc. It puts you inside hyper-real simulations of historical conflicts that shaped New Eden. Live through the story of each empire, discover what they stand for, and find your place in the war that’s still reshaping the cluster today.
The most powerful fleet support ships in New Eden. Your fleet hits harder, survives longer, and moves better because of you. Four new empire-specific command carriers each run three command burst modules at the same time, with stronger bonuses than any other ship in the game.
Through empowering your fleet, rather than pure firepower, you’ll be the most important vessel on the battlefield, and once your foes realize it, you can be sure they’re coming for you.
With recent conflicts escalating, each empire commissioned a new navy faction destroyer to meet the increasing threats.
Fast to skill into, affordable to fly and devastating in the right hands, the new navy destroyers are built to dominate on the battlefield. With a lower barrier of entry, veterans and rookies alike can make a real impact on the war.
Each of the four ships commands its own strengths based on its empire of origin.
