In New Eden,havingsovereignty is the most important partfor thedevelopment ofone’seconomy andthe acquisition ofresources. We had the design for this system laid out early on. Now,upon release, we can finally focus onfurtherdevelopingcontent related to this.Every system is like a city where players can build all kinds of structures, including public complexes (structureswithsystembonuses) and personal complexes (Capsuleer Outposts). We also hope that the history of each system, be it prosperity, war, orslowdecline, can be recorded. New Eden is full of freedom and hope. Players createtheir history, and that history should be remembered by all. However, due to our limited resources in developing the game, only the Corporation Citadel and Capsuleer Outpost are finished at the moment. After releasing them, we will continue tobring aboutour plan of developingadditionalspace structures and the bonusesaccompanying them, including the functions that allow you to build your own resource chain innullsecregions,your ownstargates, and more!

AfterIndomitable, New Eden will see more frequent wars, which is why we added the time dilation feature. Here's an introduction totimedilation(orTiDi) for EVE Echoes:
1. When the number of people in a systemexceeds acertainlimit,generatingtoo much server load,TiDiwillactivate inthat system,trading intime for efficiency,thusreducingoverall serverload.
2.WhileTiDiisactive, combat, flight and warping in the system will be slowed down, but other features including resource extraction, market, industry, etc. will not be affected.
3. Currently, there are 10 levels of time dilation. At level 2, time will betwice asslow. At level 10, time will be 10 times slower. TheTiDilevel will be adjusted automatically according to the intensity ofactivityin the system.

After the launch of EVE Echoes, we received a lot of feedback from players hoping to acquire more Skill Points. We hope that new players can catch up with veteran players as soon as possible and explore life in New Eden together. During our regular meetingsin October, we discussed this point with the main team at CCP, Iceland, who offered us some valuable suggestions. After taking into account various feedback from both new and veteran players, we decided to adopt a more conventional design for the skill catch-up system.
Currently in EVE Echoes, players who started early need to have a certain Skill Point advantage, which is both a reasonable demand and a form of respect for their hard work in New Eden. At the same time, we also hope that new players can better fit into the dailylivesand combatoperationsof veteran players. Our plan is as follows:
1. SkillCatch-up will be available through an event. During the event, if a player already has over 30 days of Omega Dual Bundle remaining, or purchases an additional 30 days of Omega Dual Bundle, they canparticipate inthe event.
2. The event will last a month. During the event,participatingplayerswill be gifted Skill Points, the amount of which will be equal to (20,000,000 -CurrentSkill Points)x10%. These Skill Points will be issued to players over the course of 30 days.Players, both new and veteran, may participate in this event.
3. Playersunder24,000,000 Skill Points are eligible to participate in the event. TheSkill Pointrewards are not related to the registration time of the account, but are instead based on, and changed along with, the player's current Skill Points. Please refer to the event page for more details.
Note: This is an experimental event aimed at providing new pilots with a better experience.The results of thiswillhelp shape the direction offuturechangesand optimizations, which will shape the final, more universal, new player catch-up plan. Players are welcome to provide feedback and make suggestionson this.

To better displaya system’ssovereigntystatusintheStarmap, and to enable players to see themselves shaping the history of New Eden after declaring sovereignty, we have expanded and improved theStarmap.
1. TheStarmaphasbeen adjusted to display the entirenetwork ofregions, with the distribution of systems and sovereignty clearly visible, instead of simply displaying the map of a particular region.
2. After acquiring the sovereignty of a system, the icon and name of your corporation oralliance will be displayed in theStarmap.
3. Stay tuned for more statistic displays intheStarmap.

We made huge balance changes on November 11. After these changes, we analyzed the mission data and saw that the mission time of high Tech LevelEncounters were longer than expected. After discussing with players in the community, we decided to make some tweaks toIndomitable. The tweaks are as follows:
1. AllT7 and aboveNews Encounterswill have one lessNPCwave.
2. With the reduction inthe number ofNPCs, therewardwill also be reduced. However, the overall reward-to-NPC ratio is the same.
We will continue to release more specific update plans. Please follow our updates in the community. Thank you again for your support, and fly safe!
