Christmas is Coming to EVE Online with the Permafrost Event

The latest update to EVE Online brings players new and exciting challenges, visuals, and rewards with Operation Permafrost. This event comes hot on the heels of the most recent update to EVE Online, which introduced two new Triglavian ships, auroras on planets and the first in a series of improvements to the War Declaration system.

According to CCP Games, players can expect the following:

In Operation Permafrost, players answer the call of a mysterious and unknown third party, travelling to the northern polar region of a mysterious ice dwarf to disrupt ORE Frostline's operations and take on Mordu's Legion. Participating in the event allows players to obtain exclusive Permafrost SKINS, brand new blueprints for Mordu's Legion and Frostline modules, as well as limited-time Boosters and Cerebral Accelerators.

With all-new visuals, this event will allow players to fly closer to the surface of a planet than ever before, opening up new gameplay and pilot experiences amongst icy asteroids and nebula.

Players can access the event via The Agency in the Neocom menu in-game. Each objective requires players to complete a series of challenges, racking up Agency points in the process to unlock new rewards. Players keep track of challenge progress from the info panel and can claim challenge rewards by quick-accessing The Agency home.

Players will also experience the first in a series of keenly anticipated updates to the War Declaration system, with further tweaks to come in 2019. Thanks to these changes, there has never been a better time to join a corporation in high-sec space in New Eden. Corporations in high-security space are now more protected, as they are only vulnerable to war declarations if they have certain assets in space – either an Upwell Structure, a Starbase or a Customs Office.

Players also have the opportunity to fly two brand new Triglavian logistics cruisers – the Rodiva class tech I cruiser and its tech II counterpart as well as the Zarmazd class logistics cruiser. Both ships benefit from the new Triglavian-themed remote repair module. Both were added in the previous EVE Online update.

"We invite all EVE Online players to join the festivities and bag some limited-time loot while flying closer than ever before to a planet's orbit," said Paul Elsy, EVE Online's Senior Community Manager at CCP. "Alongside our 13 Days of EVE gifting event, it's really worth joining the fun during this holiday season."

With Agency points, players obtain the exclusive Holiday skin, giving players a reminder of their arctic exploits. These limited-time rewards are only available throughout the Operation Permafrost event which runs from today through January 2nd, 2019.

You can find more information on Operation Permafrost on the official site.
