From the official press release: “Quantum Rise is yet another successful iteration on an already great game with a proven track record of delivering a deep, immersive, intelligent experience for one of the most demanding audiences in the MMO industry,” says Torfi Frans Olafsson, Senior Producer for EVE Online. “We are proud to be delivering Quantum Rise as a continuation of our vision of building the ultimate science-fiction simulator that we will continue to grow and enhance until Earth will be taken over by extraterrestrial races and we will be forced to put the project on hold while we take up arms and liberate our home planet.”

Several improvements in Quantum Rise include:

  • More upgrades to our hardware and software structures as a further implementation of the EVE64 and StacklessIO initiatives
  • Certificates provide benchmarks for the skill system, goals for new players, help during corporation recruiting efforts and bragging rights
  • A new medal system allows corporations to build and bestow their own custom rewards for whatever achievements they can imagine—anywhere from participation in a major fleet battle to a milestone in corporate allegiance
  • UI changes include a moveable HUD, module recharge timers and weapon grouping
  • In-game Subscription Services allow players to convert 60-day EVE Time Codes (ETCs) into two 30-day items in game. They can be traded freely through all regular means (via market or contract or directly between players) and can be activated at any time
  • The new industrial capital ship, the Orca
  • Autopilot avoidance and new routes to bring safer, faster travel in New Eden

    • EVE Online: Quantum Rise will be available for subscribers as a free download at www.eveonline.com/download/. Non-subscribers should visit the EVE website to sign up for a free 14-day trial account.
