EVE Online's Legion expansion, set to launch on 27 May 2025, is the game's sixth full expansion since the return of the content format in November 2022. As usual at this point I intend to go through the patch notes and bring in some context from other sources. The sixth subject addressed are Skyhook mechanics and Equinox blueprint conversions.
Basically the developers want to make sov warfare much less painful logistically by changing capture mechanics for Skyhooks.
Skyhook Cost of Conquest
Upon destroying a Sov Hub and conquering a system in Null Sec, players now have the choice to pay ISK to convert any remaining skyhooks within their newly acquired system for the first hour after claiming sov by selecting the ‘manage skyhooks’ option on the sovereignty hub.
For a while now, conquering a system has been very expensive as players must raze it to the ground and then build it back up from 0, and with Equinox, we added another layer to the rebuilding costs in the form of skyhooks. This is aimed to save players time and money to combat some of the rebuilding costs that they are incurring upon system capture.
The other change is a housekeeping item in renaming blueprints.
Equinox Blueprint Conversion
We are converting all old, defunct blueprints from Aegis Sovereignty to be updated with new blueprints applicable to Equinox Sov. This will happen automatically after downtime on May 27th.
The conversion list can be found below:
