GET YOUR SNEAK ON

Space ninjas get stealthier.
STYLE AND SUBSTANCE

NOVICES NEED NOT APPLY
It seems nothing can be kept hidden from the veteran explorers and lunatic risk-takers among you. New sites have been discovered, guarded by all manners of hazards and traps. Scan them down, defeat their defenses and raid their lucrative caches.
Discover hidden sites that put your exploration skills to the test.
BEAUTY AND THE BELTS
Polluted with the fragments of countless pulverized rocks, asteroid belts now offer a more visceral look and feel. Dust particles, light rays and smog enhance the atmosphere of asteroid belts, offering, too, cues as to the level of activity and traffic in the area.
Dust and debris give visual cues as to a belt's activity.
THE ORE MUST FLOW
The remnants of long-abandoned mining colonies can now be found in starter and career agent solar systems, ensuring that the newest capsuleers always have access to some Veldspar close to home. The rocks remaining in these locations are too small for optimal mining by experienced players in Mining Barges, but newer players in Rookie Ships and Ventures will never have to search far from home to find some asteroids to mine.
Abandoned mining colonies help novice miners learn the ropes.
META LEVEL CHANGES
Ten more groups of modules get reviewed and revised to provide greater specialization and diversity. "Named modules" in each group have been updated with standardized names to provide you with a clearer description of the benefits and features of each module.
Intuitive new module names make value and strength more apparent.
REVAMP & RECORD
More beta features arrive for the opt-in star map introduced during the Rhea release. Additions include standalone system view, mouse-over information on stars, search and improved route visualization.
And we mean that in a good way! Russian and German voiceovers for Aura have been completely redone, with EVE player Naburi NasNaburi taking to the sound booth to bring us the German voice of Aura.
Check out the new starmap features. More are on the way!
Aura gets multilingual in 2015.
