EVE: Havoc Post-Launch Patch Notes - 2023-11-15.1 & 2023-11-16.1

The latest expansion for EVE Online, Havoc, launched on Tuesday. As one might expect, the expansion launched with a few bugs, defects, and intended changes that somehow didn't make their way into the final build. Not only were two patches required, but the list is rather long. As a public service, I thought I would merge the patch notes for 2023-11-15.1 and 2023-11-16.1 together into something a bit more readable.

Features & Changes:

Corporation:

• Players will receive an EVE Mail Notification when leaving their player corp on their own volition.
  
  
• The EVE Mail Notification received when getting kicked out from the corp now includes the information about 30 day auto claim for corporation project rewards.

Missions & NPCs:

• The Amarr now mutually dislike The Deathless by -2.0 like all other empire factions.
  
  
• The Guristas now hate the Caldari state by -9.0, instead of having neutral standings towards them.

• Tracked opportunities now display their ‘tracked’ icon by default within the Opportunities interface.

Universe:

• The Caldari State have held military control of the newly built Samanuni to Athounon gate for an extended period of time thanks to the efforts of loyalist capsuleers enlisted with the State Protectorate. Thanks to these efforts, Caldari stargate engineers have managed to upgrade and secure the connection and it will no longer be able to be disrupted by the Federal saboteurs if they are able to seize Athounon.
