In June 2016, we announced that we would be starting work that would eventually phase out DirectX 9 support for EVE Online. Originally released 19 years ago and supported by Windows 98, it was the perfect solution for the retail CD release of EVE Online! However, continuing to support DirectX 9 has become a significant development cost that is impacting our ability to improve the graphical fidelity of EVE Online. With less than 1% of players being limited to using DirectX 9, the time is right to end support in 2022.
For the last few years, we've been investing in foundational improvements of EVE, such as with the transition to a 64-bit client to set EVE up for a thriving third decade. This is the next step in that journey and it will happen on 11 January 2022. After this date, we will no longer provide a DirectX 9 capable client.
We encourage all existing DX9 players who are capable of running the DirectX 11 client to go to their Launcher settings and under 'Game Client' ensure that "Run game clients with DirectX 9" is not ticked. This will ensure the EVE client uses DirectX 11 rendering. On 30 November, we will be moving all existing players to DirectX 11 if it is supported by the GPU. You will be able to switch back to DirectX 9 temporarily if you are unable to play, however, we strongly suggest reaching out to Customer Support (choose 'Technical') so we can identify the reasons you have chosen to not use DirectX 11. The option to switch back to DirectX 9 will not be available after 11 January.
As a result of DirectX 9 deprecation, we will be increasing the minimum specification to need a DirectX 11 (feature level 11.0) based graphics card. For Nvidia, this will be a GeForce GT 420, while AMD users will require a Radeon HD 5450 GPU. The first DirectX 11 GPUs are over 10 years old, so this change should not impact most people’s ability to play.
Minimum System Requirements:
If you have a very old GPU, you can manually check your DirectX version by pressing CTRL+F to open the FPS window in-game. This will show the current rendering mode in the bottom left: Players on MacOS will not need to worry about this change as our new Native Mac Client utilizes Metal and not DirectX.
DirectX 9 has served us well, but to enable a more performant and immersive experience in the future, we must say goodbye. Removing technical debt such as older graphical APIs and utilizing more modern rendering methods such as DirectX 11 gives us a better foundation to bring amazing visuals to all pilots in EVE.

Streamlining Early Skill Plans
Budding Capsuleers,
As part of the ongoing efforts to improve the new player experience, some small changes have been made to career agents and new player Skill Plans. This includes the renaming of career agent paths to be cohesive with the four main career paths in EVE and as outlined in EVE Academy.
The new names are as follows:
In addition to being renamed for clarity, each career agent will offer a new Skill Plan pulling from the initial skills available for new Capsuleers, so your corresponding empire skill plan for each career agent comes at no cost to you. These beginner Skill Plans give you a grounding in the skills needed to thrive when embarking on the adventures provided by the relevant Career Agent.
The Skill Plans are accessible from the description panel for each career agent as well as in the skill plan interface. As another stepping stone towards the adventures that await in New Eden, these changes will streamline the process of growing as a Capsuleer.
Welcome once again, Capsuleers, to the Community Beat!
Since the last Beat we’ve seen champions rise to the top of the Alliance Tournament, a new destination to go for all of EVE’s lore, massive player battles, lives changed at EVE London and more! Keep reading for a glimpse of just a few of the exciting things happening in and around EVE Online since the last Community Beat.
Alliance Tournament XVII Comes to a Close
After over 36 hours of tournament broadcast, one team rose to the top of the 75 alliances which registered to compete. Huge congratulations to Hydra Reloaded on their successful victory and breaking their second-place curse. The Alliance Tournament monument in Manarq has already been updated with a new winner’s plinth in their honor. Hydra Reloaded last won the Alliance Tournament in 2011 during Alliance Tournament IX.
Alliance Tournament XVIII has already been announced for next year, so we look forward to seeing you all in the arena in 2022!
EVE Universe
A new website has been launched with the goal of being a one-stop shop for all EVE Online lore. The new EVE Universe website is loaded with information and stories about everything happening behind the scenes in New Eden and you can even find evidence of these stories in game, such as the haphazardly assembled stargate in the system of Old Man Star. You can read all about the incredible story behind what it took to build it in the Old Man Star chronicle.
Take some time to read up on the history of New Eden and go take a look for evidence of those events in-game! What you find might surprise you, and, perhaps in some cases, terrify you in equal measure.
0SHT-A Battle Report
While the ‘war’ is largely considered over, the fighting is not. PAPI and Imperium forces clashed in the system of 0SHT-A in the region of Curse on the evening of 11 November. Over 2,000 pilots were involved in the fight as PAPI forces attempted to destroy a Fortizar which had been used by Initiative to strike at the PAPI back lines during the war. The Imperium defense held strong against the assault and PAPI took high losses while being unable to take their main objective.

In the end, PAPI forces lost 526 ships totaling over 76 billion ISK in value, while Imperium forces defended their Fortizar and lost only 245 ships worth approximately 17 billion ISK in comparison. You can read more about the battle from our partner INN in their article 0SHT-A Hits the Fan

A Match Made in Pochven
Our heartfelt congratulations to a couple at EVE London last week who got engaged during the event with a matching pair of Triglavian rings! These players met during the Invasion as they fought on the side of the Triglavians, and fittingly, each ring is a custom piece engraved with Triglavian script.
We knew EVE had an uncanny ability to forge friendships, but it seems on rare, lucky occasions it can go so much further.
Blood Raiding in Style
And last of all we wanted to give a shout out to a player who made a sick Blood Raider inspired PC case mod to celebrate this year’s Crimson Harvest. Xenontechs handcrafted this excellent design to grace his new PC case. We hope the Red God brings his in-game blood raiding good fortune.
Please pray for our IT department who are now having to shoot down our requests for custom case mods for our office computers.
That's all for this installment. Head on over to the EVE Online forums to chat and share your stories, or check out EVE Pulse for a different look at what’s going on in EVE!
Monthly Economic Report – October 2021
Hello,
The Monthly Economic Report for October 2021 is now available!
You can download all of the raw data used in this report here. As always, each image can be enlarged by clicking on it.
The fourth, and final, video highlighting the core career paths of EVE Online is now available for you to enjoy!
Titled Soldiers of Fortune - Gods of the Battlefield, this new video charts the intense experiences awaiting Capsuleers who choose to take the fight to other players for profit and power.
From small-scale skirmishes to the grandest alliance showdowns, these pilots work together to tip the odds of battle in their favor, and obliterate their opponents.
[previewyoutube="OUKE9ow-wKo;full"]
As with the previous three career path highlights, Soldiers of Fortune has been produced in collaboration with real players, discussing their real experience of finding their passion and purpose in EVE.
It’s been an inspiring experience to work with the community on this series of videos, learning how they play, and what drives them to achieve their goals.
Let’s take a look back at some of the other stories that have already been shared.
Industrialists Shape Eve
War means losses, and losses mean profit for the industrialists of New Eden. These production-focused pilots are dedicated to ensuring that the necessary machinery of war is always available to Capsuleers in conflict.

Enforcers Face The Danger
Enforcers serve the NPC agents of New Eden, all of whom are eager to engage the services of pilots in exchange for generous rewards. Lucrative missions, pirate operations, and profitable pockets of hidden space await Capsuleers ready to deliver justice - for the highest bidder, of course…
[previewyoutube="qvFDMqPsTkI;full"]
The Wonders Of Exploration
New Eden’s explorers are forever scanning new horizons, probing unknown areas of space, and uncovering the lost secrets of an ancient era. The exploration path allows pilots to capture the essence of science fiction wonder and discovery in EVE Online.
[previewyoutube="LM2cEPQnu8w;full"]
Choosing Your Path
These career paths provide only a taste of life in New Eden. Many pilots find their passion sparked by just one of these roles, while others choose to combine them as they chart their own journey through EVE Online. The path ahead is yours to decide!
To help you on this journey, a newly-revamped EVE Academy launches today as well! This expanded and updated resource will provide an even richer source of support for Capsuleers taking their very first steps amongst the stars.
After that? You’ll find a community of players in EVE who are always keen to take new pilots under their wings. Who knows, one day you yourself may usher in the next generation of pilots, as they find their own path in New Eden.
From Extraction to Production
In July, it was mentioned that the shortage phase was ending, and that in Q4 EVE Online would be fully moving onto the redistribution phase, followed by dynamic distribution later in 2022. Specifically, the following was mentioned:
As part of the New Dawn update, the foundations that have been built will be expanded upon and there will be full transition into the redistribution phase with a comprehensive update to mining and a balance pass to industry, including the above points and more. The goal is to provide players with more opportunity for resource gathering, better agency for efficient production, and to facilitate the transportation of materials. This will also add clearer progression for the mining path, as well as adding value for those who choose to specialize in the career.
This update introduces more raw materials into New Eden, compression for gas, ice & moon ore, updates to mining & mining crystals, and a rebalancing of the Orca and Rorqual as well as other mining ships. While the Orca and Rorqual will no longer be the best solo-mining platforms, they are receiving a buff to their command bonuses and added new roles.
All the details here and in the support document are a work in progress and subject to change before release on Tranquility. This is a major update and getting your feedback is imperative. As of today, the discussed changes are available on the Singularity test server, so we encourage all Capsuleers to dive in, explore the changes, and join the discussion in the official forum thread.
Highlights include:
Disclaimer: All names for new skills and modules are placeholders and will be updated before going live on Tranquility.
Mining Waste and Resources
This update will see a doubling of resources available across New Eden. This includes:
In addition to the doubling of resources, a new ‘mining waste’ mechanic will be introduced. Mining waste will create a greater benefit to increasing mining skills and using more advanced modules that lower the rate of waste. This also introduces new gameplay options, such as high waste mining of opponents’ resources via updated mining crystals that increase harvesting at the cost of increased waste. Mining waste can be tracked in the mining ledger.
To accomplish this, a few things are happening:
[table][tr][th]Mining Amount[/th][th]Waste Volume Multiplier[/th][th]Waste Probability[/th][th][th]Blue Ice amount (quantity) remaining in Asteroid[/th][th]Blue Ice in Inventory[/th][th]Lost[/th][/tr][tr][td]1000 m3[/td][td]x1[/td][td]100%[/td][td]INITIAL STATE:[/td][td]10[/td][td]0[/td][td]0[/td][/tr][tr][td][td][td][td]AFTER FIRST CYCLE:[/td][td]8[/td][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][/table] As mentioned earlier, different modules will have different attributes. The below table, apart from some exceptions (mainly named modules), demonstrates the expected waste-related attributes for each category. [table][tr][th][th]Expected Waste Volume Multiplier[/th][th]Expected Waste Probability[/th][/tr][tr][td]Tech I Modules[/td][td]1[/td][td]100%[/td][/tr][tr][td]Tech II Modules[/td][td]1[/td][td]34%[/td][/tr][tr][td]Faction Modules[/td][td]0[/td][td]0%[/td][/tr][tr][td]Tech I Drones[/td][td]1[/td][td]100%[/td][/tr][tr][td]Tech II Drones[/td][td]1[/td][td]100%[/td][/tr][/table] Given that a significant portion of mining is done using T2 modules, this is an overall net boost to global resource availability.
Compression
Let’s dive into the details of how compression is going to change:
New Modules
The following compression modules are being introduced:
The Rorqual modules have a higher duration per cycle, but they are more efficient (fewer resources are lost during compression).
Compact modules have reduced duration, but they are less efficient. Each compression module can support one of the resource tiers. For example, the Mobile Abyssal Ore Compression Unit can only compress abyssal ore types. The Mobile Rare Ice Compression Unit can only compress rare ice types etc. The same paradigm exists between Tech I vs Tech II modules. Tech I modules are faster but less efficient than Tech II modules. You can find the full list of module stats here.
How does it work? When you have a compression module fitted, you can load the appropriate resources as ‘ammo’ in the module and activate it. The ‘input quantity’ of the uncompressed type will be consumed and the ‘output quantity’ of the compressed type will be delivered to the main inventory of your ship. To load the resource, you right-click on the compression module. Upon doing so, at the top of the menu you will see all suitable resources for this module that exist in your main inventory. Resources can only be loaded from the ship’s main inventory.
The blueprints for the new modules will be released before the end of November so that an inventory can exist before the actual compression changes happen.
New Skills
To accommodate for the new modules, the following skills are being introduced:
All new skills will be released by the end of November.
Industrial Cores
The industrial core is being updated, resulting in an increase in support capabilities for the Rorqual. In addition, a new compact industrial core is being introduced and will be available for the Orca.
The compact variation will require a new skill; Compact Industrial Reconfiguration. These changes to industrial cores further reinforce the roles of both the Orca and Rorqual in their effectiveness to supporting mining fleets. Their role is further enhanced with the introduction of moon ore compression for the Rorqual, with gas, ice, and regular ore compression for both Porpoise and Orca as well. This has not previously been possible and will allow for increased operational runtime and easier transport of gas and moon ore.
Details can be found here. As can be seen, and has been discussed before, the role of the Rorqual and Orca will be changing in New Eden. It is becoming less feasible to solo mine in them since the drone mining yield for both the Orca and Rorqual is being reduced. It will nonetheless play a vital role in space as mentioned before - in being a support mining ship – both for boosting fleets and compressing. This will mean that Rorqual proliferation in New Eden will be impacted, which will mean more from everyone that is not in a Rorqual – unless in the scenarios where mining groups optimize together with a balance between good mining ships and good mining support ships.
Mining Crystals
With the introduction of ore tiers, single ore mining crystals are being replaced with tiered versions. This means that each crystal will now support all ores in its tier. For example, the common ore mining crystal gives bonuses to all common ores (Veldspar, Scordite, Pyroxeres, and Plagioclase). At the same time, three different types of mining crystal will be available for each tier, as mentioned before:
All existing crystals will be migrated to their Type A counterparts depending on the tier to which they belong. For further information click here.
New Skills
With the introduction of the ore tiers, reprocessing skills are also receiving an update. The single ore reprocessing skills will be replaced by a single reprocessing skill per ore tier. For example, Veldspar, Scordite, Pyroxeres, and Plagioclase processing skills are replaced by the Common Ore Processing skill. The details can be found in the supporting document, but in short, players will be reimbursed the Skill Points and the ISK cost for the skill books, and should they decide to train all the new skills, they will be left with about 1.8 million unallocated Skill Points after completing training for the new ones.
In addition, the Deep Core Mining skill is being updated; its probability of damage reduction bonus per level changes from 20% to 10%.
Modules, Drones & Rigs
There is also a new line of gas harvesting modules that will be unique to mining barge and exhumer ship types. The existing gas harvester modules will be renamed to gas scoops and the harvester keyword will be used for barge/exhumer equipment. Similarly in this case, the details of this update are available here.
Ships
Mining and industrial ships are receiving a balance update which will create more clarity between the roles/specialization of the different ships. An important component of this balance pass is the update to specialized resource holds, which can be boiled down to a few key adjustments:
Specialized Resource Holds
Specialized resource holds are being updated:
Changes to ships with specialized holds can be found here, but some highlights include:
October marked six months from the ship industry mega update and as such, it is a good time to review these changes. To address some player concerns, we will be making the following changes. Please note that types in the blueprints that are not listed remain unaffected and values in parentheses indicate previous values.
Please also note that there will another review of ship blueprints six months after this update goes live.
The highlights:
Conclusion
Almost two years ago the journey of shoring up EVE’s ecosystem started. This was done to ensure that EVE is set up for a thriving third decade, with the goal that EVE will eventually outlive us all. EVE’s ecosystem was not in a healthy state, and the two-year shortage phase has understandably been a challenging road. It has meant tighter belts, and a complete shake-up of the institutional knowledge that EVE players have utilized when it comes to earning ISK and resources. Now as a part of the New Dawn update, we are expanding on the foundations we have built and transitioning fully into the redistribution phase, with a large update that includes doubling of resources (and also introducing mining waste), a balance pass for all mining ships, Moon Ore & Gas Compression, and more.
In the next couple of weeks, we will publish a ‘Winter Status update’, akin to the July Status Update that was released earlier this year, which will give you better insight into everything going on in EVE.
There’s a lot to take in as this is one of the biggest updates to industry and mining in EVE’s (almost) 19-year history. It is on the test server for a reason – it is pivotal to get players’ eyes on it, as with anything this big there are bound to be things that need a re-review, so as mentioned before we encourage all Capsuleers to dive in, explore the changes and join the discussion in our official Forum thread. Remember, whenever anything big like this happens in EVE, new opportunities arise for those willing to jump in, experiment and become experts.

New Dawn - New Quadrant
Intrepid Capsuleers,
EVE Online’s fourth Quadrant of 2021 - New Dawn - begins today, introducing significant changes to mining and resources! As EVE moves toward a new age of prosperity, Capsuleers can look forward to brighter days ahead in New Eden.
CHANGES TO MINING, COMPRESSION, AND RESOURCES
The journey to strengthen the health and foundation of EVE's ecosystem began nearly two years ago when three phases were laid out in the Ecosystem Outlook article: shortage, re-distribution, and dynamic distribution.
During this time, there have been significant updates to the distribution of resources in the universe, and equally significant changes to how ships are manufactured. Come December, New Eden will move into the next phase of this original plan, as discussed back in 2020.
New Dawn will bring increased resources throughout the universe, extensive updates to mining, a comprehensive rebalancing of EVE's mining ships, and equally significant updates to resource compression.
You’ll be able to read up on all of these exciting updates, as well as get a peek at what the road to prosperity looks like, in a detailed dev blog coming this Friday!
NEW EXPLORATION SITES
Alongside these exciting changes to EVE’s economy, you’ll also be able to experience four new challenging exploration sites, all live today! These are designed to reward the boldest Capsuleers with capital and supercapital construction components.
The AEGIS Capital Ship Security Facility is scattered throughout Lowsec, and features a heavily-guarded security vault, ripe for ransacking. Covert Ops pilots will find much to plunder here.
Disrupt the Rogue Drones as they tend their nurseries in Triglavian-held space by pillaging them as part of the Overmind Nursery Groves sites, found throughout Pochven. Scan, salvage, and cloak your ships for this encounter.
In the AEGIS Secure Transfer Facility, found in Lowsec and wormhole space, EDENCOM oversees the logistics of capital and supercapital production. Track down the transport ship ferrying VIPs in order to learn the location of the EDENCOM construction facility. Strategic cruisers fitted for scanning, combat, and hacking are recommended here.
The AEGIS Secure Capital Construction Forges escalation site is revealed to players who complete the AEGIS Secure Transfer Facility site successfully, and it is fiercely defended. Bring significant firepower with your marauders and dreadnoughts to have any hope of looting this factory!
To help you tackle these new sites in style, there will also be a special 25% offer on select ship skins recommended for exploration sites, including skins on the popular T3 cruisers, in the New Eden Store from 9-16 November.
These sites are currently unavailable and will be going live on Tranquility soon.
FANFEST RETURNS!
As EVE heads confidently into the future, it’s only appropriate that EVE Fanfest makes its triumphant return in 2022! From 6-7 May, Capsuleers will once again descend upon the Laugardalshöll arena for roundtables, developer presentations, player tournaments, and more! Drink with the devs, let loose with the Party at the Top of the World, and learn more about what’s in store for EVE.
Tickets are limited for next year’s event, so secure your place today to ensure you don’t miss out on this epic reunion. For more information, take a look at the EVE Fanfest page.
THE ALLIANCE TOURNAMENT CONTINUES
The revamped Alliance Tournament XVII got underway last weekend, and will conclude across this upcoming weekend, 13-14 November! 75 alliances applied for this year’s tournament, but only 40 survived September’s intense Feeder Tournament.
You can tune in to the nail-biting matches that will decide the victors on CCPTV, from 14:30 UTC on Saturday 13 November. New to the tournament? No problem! The talented production team, EVE_NT, will be on hosting duties, providing insight and analysis for both new and experienced players.
THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US!
As the nights grow colder and darker, players will be able to come together to enjoy some festive cheer with the return of the much-loved Winter Nexus holiday event!
The Volatile Ice Storms will once again travel through a freshly-invigorated New Eden, providing pilots with Wightstorm combat sites, hacking sites, and ice mining sites. Gather your Ice Storm Filaments and overcome these challenges to unlock new festive ship SKINs, rare faction modules, and more!
The mysterious Yoiul Clones will also make their return, stronger than ever, and even more brilliantly brought to life with additional animations. There’ll also be bonus daily login rewards, daily challenges, and the snowball-flinging fun of the Chilling Spree!
During the holiday season, you can also look forward to a personalized video charting your year in EVE, as well as several upcoming special offers.
These will include the returning Singles Day 2-for-1 sale on 11 November, during which you can get twice the impact of Alpha Injectors and Skill Extractors, a special Black Friday sale on 26 November with daily gifts from 26-30 November, and further discounts during Cyber Monday on 29 November.

EVE UNIVERSE - YOUR GUIDE TO EVE LORE
A new storytelling hub, EVE Universe, launches on 11 November! Replacing the current fiction portal, EVE Universe will offer an extensive repository of the stories and lore behind the game. As for the stories themselves, you can expect richer narratives and plenty of intrigue as New Eden continues to flourish in the future. Who knows what tales await?
Beyond EVE Universe, you can also look forward to a new EVE lore-inspired series, coming in December in partnership with some old friends.
---
The launch of New Dawn represents an exciting new chapter in the illustrious journey of all Capsuleers in EVE, and the future of New Eden has never looked brighter. We can’t wait to share our plans for growing EVE with you, as the game approaches its third decade!
