Pilots of New Eden, exciting news! A recent update has been deployed to address and resolve issues within the EVE Online Air Career Program (ACP), specifically targeting problems that prevented some players from completing Mission 1 tasks and claiming their rightful rewards. If you’ve been encountering roadblocks with the “Joining a Corporation” or “Completing Career Agents” objectives within the ACP, this fix is for you.
Previously, some capsuleers found themselves stuck even when they had already met the requirements for these tasks. Let’s break down the specific issues that have been resolved:
Corporation Enrollment Correction
The first hurdle addressed is for players already enlisted in a player-run corporation when the Air Career Program was introduced. Initially, the system didn’t retroactively recognize existing corporation memberships. This meant that pilots who were already part of a player corporation found the “Joining a Corporation” task in Mission 1 remained incomplete, blocking their progress and reward acquisition.
With this new fix, the system will now correctly identify if your character is currently in a player corporation. If you are, the “Joining a Corporation” task will be automatically marked as completed. This ensures you can finally claim the associated rewards and Air Career Program points without needing to switch corporations.
Career Agent Mission Completion Recognition
The second part of the fix tackles the “Completing Career Agents” task. Career Agent missions in EVE Online are designed to be completed only once per character, serving as an essential introduction to the game for new players. However, this one-time completion posed a problem for the Air Career Program. Pilots who had already completed these missions prior to the ACP launch were unable to fulfill this task again, effectively locking them out of this portion of Mission 1.
This update rectifies this by checking your character’s history. If your pilot has completed Career Agent missions at any point in their EVE Online journey, the “Completing Career Agents” task will now be recognized as complete. You will be granted the corresponding rewards and points, allowing you to advance smoothly through the Air Career Program.
Gradual Rollout and Completion
It’s important to note that the application of this fix is being rolled out across the vast EVE Online universe and its extensive player base. The process is being conducted live without server downtime, and it will naturally take a few days to propagate across all characters in EVE Online. Therefore, you might observe that task completion recognition may occur at different times for your various characters.
Rest assured, the fix is comprehensive and will eventually apply to every eligible character. The complete implementation of this update has been confirmed, ensuring that all pilots who were previously affected by these issues should now find their Air Career Program Mission 1 tasks correctly marked as completed and ready for reward collection.
Now is the perfect time to log in, check your Air Career Program progress, and claim those well-deserved rewards! Fly safe, pilots, and enjoy the enhanced journey through the EVE Online Air Career Program.
