With these changes its most noticeable thing for every player is the Tech 2 market for space ships. MarketĪs what has taken for granted in EVE Online Lifeblood expansion is that the focus has taken on moon mining. For now only Low and Null security systems are mineable but rumour has it that some high security systems (0.5) and possibly wormhole systems may get this ability in 2018 (though without the special moon materials used for Tech 2 production). They can be anchored anywhere that a normal citadel or engineering complex can, however they can also be anchored at a new special moon beacon which then allows the moon mining process to be activated. The Refineries are a variant of citadel, just like the industry focused Engineering Complexes. Thanks to the Upwell Consortium we now have a set of new refinery structures to manage the extraction of these materials and this comes with some big changes. In fact Lifeblood is a complete overhaul of the entire set of Moon Mining and Reaction mechanics. In the Lifeblood expansion of EVE Online this passive method of gaining income through moons has been removed. Moon Materials changes in EVE Online Lifeblood Notably, both the mining and reacting process are passive, requiring no direct input from the player until Silo containers reach capacity. The base moon materials can be reacted with others to create a range of more valuable Tech 2 ingredient for those willing to go the the extra step in search of profits. These moon materials are a vital component in the Tech 2 ship and module industry. Previously, by anchoring the POS on a goodie-filled moon and adding modules to it, the moon materials will flow into the attached silo from a Moon Harvesting Array. These POS’s are commonly used for safe spots in space (particularly in low and null space), industry or moon harvesting. Most of us will have seen the large deployed sticks with a force field around it which are attached to most moons in the EVE universe. Because of the massive changes from the Lifeblood expansion, a lot of things have been changing on the tech 2 markets. Lifeblood expansion of EVE Online has recently released on the main servers of CCP Games. The results, I hope you will agree, are quite surprising. As for myself I have been digging into the market of the major trade hubs in EVE Online to see what I could deduce. When it comes to EVE Online Lifeblood, no-one is sure yet how exactly the changes will affect the game.
This expansion has several new features including the long awaited moon mining revamp. Editor’s Note : This article was submitted to us by Ghost Negotiator.ĮVE Online Lifeblood has recently been released on the Tranquility servers.
