Last week was relatively calm. There were some skirmishes in Cloud Ring, led by The Initiative. Shadow Cartel was spotted rolling their shiny Barghest fleet around Essence. However, these engagements were all on a sub-capital scale. My sources suggest that the Goonswarm Federation is primarily occupied with housekeeping - clearing the mess in their newly captured southern regions and settling in. Meanwhile, Pandafam is taking advantage of the calm to handle their own internal maintenance, as their rapidly growing empire risks collapsing without proper support.

Nearly a week ago, a new expansion launched, introducing two new ships: the Tholos and the Cenotaph. Beyond their sleek, cyberpunk-inspired hulls, these ships come with a completely new weapon system - a.k.a DOT (Damage Over Time) mechanics found in most MMOs.

Performance?
So far, the most significant impact has been on the market rather than the battlefield. The prices for these ships, along with their weapons and ammo, are shocking, making them accessible only to die-hard fans or the very wealthy. Glady, the hull prices are rapidly going down, making them a very risky investment.

The Tholos, for instance, is a dangerous ship with just 6k EHP and a 5-billion ISK price tag, making it a gank magnet even in high-security systems (0.9).
The Cenotaph, while slightly tougher, has been seen soloing an oddly fit battleship. However, with a price tag of billions ISK for the hull alone, it’s hard to justify its value in the current meta.
