[Tip of the Week] Cloudy With A Chance of Death

We’re launching a new concept – both here on the blog and on the Uni Discord – the EVE Uni Tip of the Week! Some of you might remember the HIWUTOD of old, Hippla’s Weird Unsolicited Tip of the Day.

Well, we’re going to bring back that concept with some tips from all walks of EVE life, on a weekly basis, every Monday. PvP, PvE and everything in between – aimed at new and new-ish players, although the intermediate and veteran player may still learn something new with a tip that is outside of their usual area of gameplay. Without further ado, let’s dive into the very first EU-TOTW!


Did you know there are different clouds in the Abyss?


Filament Cloud – Orange – Shield Boosters repair less (-40%), but cycle faster (40%). As repair modules are capacitor-hungry modules, these will drain your capacitor fast!
Bioluminescent Cloud – Blue – 4x signature radius increase. Your signature size will balloon massively, making it much easier for large weapons with poor tracking to hit you! Particularly dangerous when enemies such as battleships are on the field, or when you rely on your small ship signature for tank.
Tachyon Cloud – White – 4x velocity, -50% Inertia. Be careful not to sling yourself out of the Abyss boundary. Microwarpdrive fits can easily get sent at over 10000km/s!
