'EVE Online: Red Moon Rising' Launches Today

by Rainier on Dec. 14, 2005 @ 1:59 a.m. PST

CCP's free Red Moon Rising expansion will be deployed on Wednesday, 14 December. At 2000 GMT, Tranquility will be taken down. Due to the size of this deployment, we are estimating the update will take approximately 24 hours. In Red Moon Rising players will see new ships and features in Red Moon Rising created explicitly to augment warfare, boosting the adrenaline rush of action-packed PVP.

EVE Online: Red Moon Rising is the march towards an epic clash between the empires as the tentative peace presiding over the galaxy continues to slip away. Nations begin to conspire against one another, secretly preparing for the inevitable conflict that threatens to redefine the borderlines of EVE forever.

Some of the key features of this upgrade are:

  • Titans: The largest, most fearsome space faring battle vessels ever created

  • An Eye for an Eye: You are allowed to revenge the unlawful destruction of your ship
  • Tech II: 23 new Tech II ships, including destroyers, battlecruisers and mining barges
