After a brief stint on the test server, the Enter the Portal update is now live in EVE Online, bringing various improvements to sneaky stealthy starships. The update adds powerful buffs to Tech 2 Black Ops battleships, rebalances Covert Ops exploration ships, and increases the chained targets for Vorton Projectors. The team has also upped Black Ops ships’ ambush game with the new Conduit Jump feature:

“When using a Conduit Jump, the Black Ops battleship will act as an Anchor, taking nearby covert cloak-capable ships and other Black Ops within 10km to the destination as Passengers. In addition to getting your fleet on grid faster, this also comes with the benefit of using much less fuel than a Bridge at just 1,000 Isotopes per lightyear for the fleet.”

The Conduit Jump passenger count has also been increase from 10 to 30 along with the cargo capacity and targeting range of Black Ops battleships based on player feedback to make it easier to launch covert attacks and ambushes.

The full update notes can be found on the EVE Online official site.
