EVE Online will be updating its servers with the new expansion, Dominion, tomorrow, December 1st.
The update is scheduled to run from 02:00 GMT/UTC until 21:00 GMT/UTC, which is 6 PM PT (9 ET) tonight, November 30th, until 1 PM PT (4 PM ET), in the States.
The features of Dominion include:
Sovereignty Evolves: The system of territorial control in EVE advances, providing more tactical, capture-based gameplay. Alliances both large and small will find more opportunities within their grasp and an engaging conquest system in place to seize them. Rulers will now have to actively defend space they have claimed.
Sovereignty Infrastructure System: Unprecedented control over the game world. Alliances now have within their power the ability to alter the resources and events in the systems they occupy. Infrastructure hubs can be fitted with specialized modules to aid in flushing out hidden pirate ships, discovering more lucrative asteroid belts or even easing the discovery of elusive wormholes.
New Doomsday Devices and Capital Ship Changes: The rebuilt Doomsday Devices lead the pack of several changes to capital ships, bringing the need for new strategies to the wreck-strewn battlefields of capital ship combat.
Improved Fleet Tools: Teaming up with others has become easier! New tools allow players to find, contact and join corporate mining ops, fleet battles and patrols.
Exploration and Advanced PVP Tutorials: New introductions to two of EVE’s most popular areas of gameplay: ship combat and discovery. The exploration tutorial teaches how to probe space for anomalies, hostile ships and hidden asteroid belts. In the advanced PvP tutorial, new pilots can learn the basics safely... well, relatively safely.
Faction Ships Revisited: We took a peek under the hood of the faction ships and found that some changes were in order. Dominion brings these ships up to speed, boosting some and specializing others. New faction battleships have been constructed! Introducing Navy versions of the Typhoon, Armageddon, Dominix and Scorpion.
Pirate Faction Epic Arc Missions: Choose to ally with the underworld of New Eden as the first of many pirate epic arcs arrive. Hidden deep within the most dangerous regions of space, these agents provide significant rewards for the bold and the villainous.
Upgraded Planets and Starfields: Procedurally generated planets and all new starfields take the beauty of EVE to unbelievable heights.
Improved In-Game Mail System: The redesigned in-game mail system introduces an upgraded look, more features and greater flexibility including better sorting and archiving tools.
Full Featured In-Game Browser: Fully compliant with current industry browsers, including support for the many ‘EVE-enabled’ sites created by the community.
