Full Patch Notes For February 2020 Release

Features & Changes

Balancing:

High Angle Weapons may now only be fit to Dreadnaughts (27/02/2020)

Adjusted High Angle Weapons and Siege Module attributes to simplify bonuses to High Angle Weapons. Overall damage output for High Angle Weapons in Siege mode will remain consistent with pre-patch values. (27/02/2020)

Exploration:

Wandering wormhole connections (excluding to Thera and Shattered) have had their presence increased

Wandering C5 and C6 connections to null sec have had their presence increased

New wandering connections between C4, C5 and C6 wormhole systems have been introduced

Events:

The Guardian's Gala has begun! This event will run from 12 February to 24 February. (13/02/2020) The Serpentis and Angel Cartel pirates are gathering all over New Eden to celebrate their lucrative partnership. Capsuleers can crash the party and defeat the carousing pirates for a chance at valuable loot! (13/02/2020) The standard Guardians Gala Venue site has begun to appear all over known space (high sec, low sec, and nullsec). These sites can be found using your ship's built-in anomaly scanner, and once a capsuleer has initiated warp to them a beacon will appear visible to everyone else in the system. CONCORD advises that capsuleers bring a ship of approximately battlecruiser power or greater if they wish to attack these locations. (13/02/2020) The Guardians Gala VIP Venue can be found exclusively within wormhole space. This site features larger numbers of more challenging hostile NPCs and an opportunity to gain even more valuable loot including blueprint copies for the new Angel Cartel "Savior" pirate implant set. (13/02/2020) Both the Standard and VIP Gala Venues drop overseers effects, ship skins, fireworks, agency combat boosters, "Inquest" implants, and a small chance of faction modules. The VIP Gala Venue in wormhole space provides the "Savior" implants as well as better quantities and chances at all the other valuable loot. (13/02/2020)

For the duration of the Guardian's Gala event, pvp loot drop rates within wormhole space have been increased to approximately 90% instead the normal 50%. (13/02/2020)

The Guardian's Gala has concluded, ending the appearance of Guardian's Gala venue sites throughout New Eden and returning the PVP loot drop rates in Wormhole space back to the standard 50% (24/02/2020)

Implants:

Nirvana Implant Blueprints added to Sansha Loyalty Store and loot tables

Miscellaneous:

Changes to the qualification rules for Sansha Incursion rewards have been made. In order to qualify for the rewards, pilots must be present at the site upon completion and also have a meaningful contribution to the completion of the site.

Missions & NPCs:

Updated Drifter Response Battleship Behaviours

Updated some Sleeper warp scramblers to shut off micro jump drives

Structures & Deployables:

Launching a Customs Office Gantry into space will now require the same corporation roles (Equipment Config) as anchoring it. (20/02/2020)

User Interface:

Introducing a system to track new items in the Inventory, Hangars, and PLEX Vault via icon badging, UI breadcrumbs, and tooltips.

PLEX is placed in PLEX Vault instead of Item Hangar when obtained via redeem, market, trade, contracts, etc.

Number entry fields will now automatically include thousand separators (eg “1,000,000” rather than “1000000”). In the past, having these fields not format for easy readability has caused a significant amount of headaches for pilots and our Player Experience team. This change will hopefully make number fields much more readable and less prone to errors.

HyperNet:

You can now see a list of the capsuleers who own the highest number of HyperNodes in an offer when looking at the offer details view.

Filtering has received a number of improvements: You can now filter by item meta groups, blueprint copies vs. originals and item categories have been added to the item field. Filter settings can now be saved. You are no longer forced to select a range for the HyperNode count field, you can now filter on offers with a single specified number of HyperNodes.

The history view has vastly improved filtering. You can filter by all the same criteria as in the browse view along with filtering on joined/created, active/finished, public/private offers. Sorting options were also added.

When a filter is applied to the history view you can now see how many total offers there are and how many the filter criteria applies to.

You will now see a warning on offers that have a disproportionately high HyperNode price compared to the item's average price on the regional market. This warning, along with the indicator for low-priced HyperNodes, can now also be seen in the offer details view.

You can now see how many HyperNodes you own along with the total number of HyperNodes in an offer when it is finished and being synchronized.

You will now be warned if you set a very low HyperNode price compared to the regional market estimate when creating an offer.

Your history will now show you all the offers you've participated in or created in the last three months.

Offers with blueprints will now say in the title whether they are an original blueprint or a copy.
