A major update for the Catalyst expansion is here, bringing balance changes, new opportunities for carrier pilots, and targeted improvements across several areas of New Eden.

This update focuses on strengthening ship roles, improving risk versus reward, and creating a healthier ecosystem where more strategies can thrive. At the same time, new content and quality-of-life improvements create fresh challenges for PvE pilots and alliances alike.

In this video CCP Convict chats with Game Design Director CCP Okami and Producer CCP Trash Panda about some of the things that have arrived with the major update. There's a lot more to it though so be sure to check out the full patch notes!
