EVE Online is an MMO game set in a world of galactic proportions, governed by a hyper-capitalistic economy where space flight is the path to all commerce, communication, and conflict.

EVE is a community-driven massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, set in a world of galactic proportions. This online universe is governed by a hyper-capitalistic economy where space flight is the path to all commerce, communication, and conflict. Your mission is to establish yourself as a major competitor, trusted by your friends, feared by your enemies. To accomplish this, your principle tools -- apart from an impressive array of sophisticated equipment, customizable space ships and in-game corporations -- will be your natural business acumen, social skills, Machiavellian thinking and cunning combat strategies.

Set tens of thousands of years in the future, EVE Online is a breathtaking journey to the stars, to an immersive experience filled with adventure, riches, danger and glory. With nearly a quarter of a million subscribers worldwide inhabiting the same virtual universe, EVE features a vast player-run economy where your greatest asset is the starship, designed to accommodate your specific needs, skills and ambitions. EVE offers professions ranging from commodities trader to mercenary, industrial entrepreneur to pirate, mining engineer to battle fleet commander or any combination of these and much more. From brokering business deals to waging war, you will have access to a diverse array of sophisticated tools and interfaces to forge your own destiny in EVE.

CCP Games announced that EVE: Uprising, the latest narrative-driven expansion for spacefaring MMO EVE Online, will launch on November 8, 2022. 

With battle lines redrawn and a call to arms heard across New Eden, capsuleers will now be able to pilot 16 new Navy ships. Each empire is set to receive new frigates, battlecruisers, destroyers, and dreadnoughts, giving players more ways to fight, explore, and interact as they seek to carve out their role in the universe.

EVE: Uprising brings a series of fresh content and features alongside numerous graphical and performance enhancements to EVE Online. The future of war has arrived with an intense combat-evolved update to Factional Warfare. Enlisted players can claim territory on behalf of their empire and engage other factions via new ‘Frontlines’: drawing pilots closer to the front of the battlefield to obtain rewards and strategic advantages over their enemies. As Factional Warfare evolves with further changes, players will see the battlefield of New Eden pose new challenges, threats, and unexpected consequences.

With the Heraldry system, players can now fly their colors featuring corporation and alliance emblems that can be placed on their ships. Corporation and alliance emblems will act as the introduction to Heraldry, with many more customization options coming such as citadel SKINs and holograms.

Meet your new ships:

DREADNOUGHTS

  • Minmatar - Naglfar Fleet Issue: Bringing the Naglfar’s infamously massive firepower, the navy variant also capably provides increased versatility thanks to the powerful combination of dual armor, improved shield repair bonuses, and additional utility high slots, giving it more flexibility on the battlefield with capital energy neutralizers.
  • Caldari - Phoenix Navy Issue: The Phoenix’s precision guided massive missiles and heavy shields have always made it popular. Alongside increased damage, its new target painter bonus synergizes with the missiles, allowing the ship to better apply its damage to targets.
  • Amarr - Revelation Navy Issue: Long seen as a prime specimen of Amarr military muscle, the Revelation has undergone an overhaul, with increased bonuses to damage, energy transfer, and armor resistances making it a monster of the heavens.
  • Gallente – Moros Navy Issue: The stock Moros has always had a knack for unleashing horrendous damage. Its navy upgrade improves armor repair strength while increasing range, an upgrade that makes it another fearsome option for the battlefield!

DESTROYERS

  • Minmatar - Thrasher Fleet Issue: The Thrasher has always been famed for its tremendous speed. Its navy iteration, however, ups the pace even more, adding faster guns to the mix in the form of an increased turret rate of fire and a signature radius bonus which lets it dance between the shots of larger opponents.
  • Caldari - Cormorant Navy Issue: Presenting pilots with a piercing option for sniping, the Cormorant Navy Issue also brings a shield booster bonus that makes for strong defensive repairs. It’s a menacing combination of range and shield!
  • Amarr - Coercer Navy Issue: The classic Coercer has been given the navy overhaul it deserves. Introducing a reduction in energy neutralizer capacitor need and bonus to armor HP, the new Coercer takes the potential of heavy armored vessels to new heights.
  • Gallente - Catalyst Navy Issue: With a reduction in plate mass penalty and a bonus to armor repair, the navy rework of the eternally popular Catalyst now delivers increased damage and better armor agility. Spare a thought for all those that are caught in its turrets’ crosshairs.

BATTLECRUISERS

  • Minmatar - Cyclone Fleet Issue: Redesigned with over a decade's worth of technical advancements, this navy version Cyclone can launch an awe-inspiring volume of missiles in a very short amount of time. It speaks a simple language – that of complete destruction.
  • Caldari - Ferox Navy Issue: Immensely powerful, the Ferox Navy Issue’s strong shield tanking makes it capable of reducing entire squadrons to smoking wreckage single-handedly. It also stands as one of New Eden’s most flexible ships, being suitable for all kinds of situations.
  • Amarr - Prophecy Navy Issue: Respecting the Amarr doctrine of super-heavy armor and powerful energy weapons, the navy Prophecy offers streamlined onboard drone control systems, creating additional space to allow for more advanced crystal focusing technology, bringing additional long range energy weapons to its threatening loadout.
  • Gallente - Myrmidon Navy Issue: Bringing distinct webification drone technology, the upgraded Myrmidon proves a potent combination; the drones being able to snare distant targets, allowing this spiked column of destruction to slowly fall upon its prey.

FRIGATES

  • Minmatar - Probe Fleet Issue: This ship brings powerful firepower and elegant data extraction capabilities, making it equally capable of cracking encryption codes and breaking open the hulls of a diplomat’s shuttle.
  • Caldari - Heron Navy Issue: The navy Heron’s scouting and exploration capabilities are accompanied by sufficient firepower to seize and hold any new discovery... or devastate interlopers at the fringes of Caldari space.
  • Amarr - Magnate Navy Issue: In marrying a dedicated processing capacity for scan probe launchers and improved energy weapon systems, the Magnate Navy Issue offers a powerful combination that elevates the craft beyond expectations of what frigates can be.
  • Gallente - Imicus Navy Issue: Significantly upgraded drone capabilities coupled with special processing systems give this ship the ability to pinpoint likely targets and descend on them with an impressive array of weapons.
