style="font-style: italic;">CCP rolls out its holiday ship for EVE Online players.

The season of giving is upon us once again and CCP, developers of EVE Online, have just posted details about their holiday gift to players. In a recent dev blog, CCP Loktofeit revealed that players will be getting the newest ship to roll off of the CONCORD production line with the Echelon, a frigate-class capsuleers vessel with integrated Sansha technology. Players can redeem their new holiday ship starting December 14th, 2010 and assign it to a character for delivery. Find out how to claim yours in the latest dev blog.

Constructed in secrecy, the Echelon is a minor masterpiece of engineering, integrating otherwise incomprehensible Sansha technology into a frigate-class capsuleers vessel. The advanced cryptographic processors on board provide superior hacking capabilities for use on most known password-secured devices. However, the true beauty of the Echelon is in the adaptive synchronization of capsuleers and Sansha codebreaking components, creating a system predicted to give capsuleers an edge over even the strongest of the Nation's encryption locks.
