EVE Frontier – Cycle 3: Silent Tide

As part of Silent Tide, a host of new content will be introduced to EVE Frontier as the Cycle progresses, with major additions arriving on October 29 th to mark the next step in the game's evolution—timed for when players are ready to make full use of them. This next Cycle will see the evolution of base-building mechanics, giving players greater creative freedom and enabling new tactical, defense and industry layouts for bases. An update to industry mechanics will also enhance production efficiency by allowing jobs to run continuously as long as structures are powered and supplied.

One of the most anticipated additions is a limited-time in-game event coming in the second half of the Cycle, which will put a prototype of WASD controls in the hands of Founders for playtesting. This new control scheme will put Riders' navigational skills to the test, fundamentally changing the experience of piloting ships on the Frontier. Silent Tide also brings new areas of the Frontier to explore. Players will be challenged to put their PVE combat skills to the test in two dangerous new locations and will have the chance to earn two new ships through an enigmatic in-game event running throughout Cycle 3.

Other updates include a wide range of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. As part of this, the Clone Death Loop will now allow players to choose where they respawn after dying. Further features of Silent Tide will be revealed soon, including details of an upcoming PVP combat tournament. Alongside the new content in Cycle 3, CCP Games will reveal a roadmap outlining the future of EVE Frontier. The roadmap reveals that Cycle length will increase to three months starting at Cycle 4, in addition to more details about new features to look forward to in future Cycles.
