EVE Online NPC Pirates Are Starting To Attack Player Structures As Havoc Patch Notes Drop
The Deathless Circle in EVE Online's upcoming expansion, Havoc, is angling to sow some chaos in New Eden, and the events earlier today are glimpse into that future as Guristas Pirates attacked a player structure this morning.
As warned in a video by The Scope, EVE Online's in-universe news channel, the two NPC pirate factions at the center of the upcoming expansion, the Guristas and Angel Cartel, sent an ultimatum to capsuleer alliances that held structures a little too close to the new gates leading into Zarzakh. The ultimatum gave the two Alliances 24 hours to move their structures or be destroyed, with both the Guristas and Angel Cartel inviting players to attack them to earn favor with the factions.

That timer will be up on Monday, kicking off the next phase in the structure's destruction. DECOY alliance has already confirmed it won't be moving the structure, so a fight will occur — whether it's just players or with the help of Angel Cartel, who claim sovereignty in the system, remains to be seen.
