When the Equinox expansion arrives for EVE Online on June 11th, it’ll dramatically overhaul and “reinvigorate” nullsec space – the game’s designation for lawless space, i.e., the place where all the guild drama you’ve read about happens. That’s the takeaway from CCP Games’ latest dev blog on the release, which is accompanied by a juicy new explainer video.
“At the heart of the Equinox expansion lies the desire to make null security space more meaningful and active, endowed with more customization options for content and activities, and creating topology,” the studio says. “Star systems are seeing impactful changes, with planets now becoming integral to each system’s function, dictating their strategic importance. [… ] With its new Equinox suite of solutions, Upwell presents the next pivotal steps in transforming nullsec from the space you live in to your home. Capsuleers will gain access to more tools and content than ever before to allow them to shape space according to their needs. With improved mechanisms, streamlined ownership, and more personalization, a foundation is being laid for the future of nullsec – a space that means and matters more to its denizens.”
That means new structures and deployables, sovereignty upgrades, a trio of new colony resources, and of course, reasons to fight over said resources. Expect quality-of-life updates to the UI too. The whole preview video is below.
