Patch 20.02 for EVE Online has just dropped not long ago. This update implements various graphical and technical improvements. Also, the Raiju and Laelaps ships are now available for those who took part in the Alliance Tournament XVII.
Tournament Prizes
For the uninitiated, the Alliance Tournament is a three-week annual event where different teams try to defeat one another in combat. Two notable rewards from the prize pool are the Raiju and Laelaps ships.
The Raiju is a premiere electronic attack frigate made by the Mordu Legion. The ship’s impressive speed and missile capability will surely strike fear in the hearts of many.
The Laelaps, on the other hand, is a heavy interdiction cruiser unlike any other. While most heavy interdictors in New Eden are slow when their warp disruption field generator is active, the Laelaps is very mobile thanks to its speed. In other words, this is the fastest heavy interdictor in the game.
Now, if you are a member of HYDRA RELOADED, for example, you can now claim these ships in the game.
