They will move the UNDOCK button back to it's original spot, and call it new content.

That will be the next "free expansion"

Odyssey's only a day old and someone's already asking for info on what's coming next? Seriously? Roll

Lol Well, you have to admit, by the number of post regarding the new button placement - CCP created a cool new mini-game.

I know they already have a "theme" for the Winter expansion with a list of features. However, it is WAY too early to publish anything right now.

Most DEV's are just recovering from this last week and will probably take a month or so off before work starts again.

ccp seagull gave a high level preview of some of the ideas they wanted to do in this theme during her fanfest keynote (It looked really awesome). They are on the ccp youtube channel.

The current expansion did not deliver much at least to me. Tried exploration, spent so much time on it, and still haven't found anything interesting. At least if there were some proper mission on exploration, no instead you get a few noob ones and that's it. Sorry that's not enough.

New jump, ok that's nice again not enough. Could I have a proper docking and undocking too? I saw beautiful videos of ships entering and leaving hangars, why don't get those?

Re-balancing... ok, but didn't really make any change except that now I make a lot less ISK then before. So overall this expansion did nothing for me.

I am really interested in seeing what CCP is going to deliver for the next expansion. If I were CCP I would really speed that up and make it a lot more interesting than just very cosmetic changes.

I am kind of getting bored. I need proper integration of Dust and isk transfer to Dust players.

I expect few values changed in database ("re-balance"), new ship skins implemented - which are invisible outside of station anyway because New Eden is actually cold and *dark* place, 1 more mini-game which will take month(s) of skill training and will be interesting to 5-7% of players, less than 10 new modules (where 10 is very generous prediction, more like 5), some existing mechanics will be improved (broken) up to complete inability to continue certain activities for 5-7% of players. If CCP will be in really good mood we'll have cap transfer drones and maybe couple more ships (I cannot guess type - most likely it will be PvP/gank-oriented fragile hulls because more popping is healthy for economy).

And that's pretty much it.

Well, I have access to a pinhole overlooking CCP's Development Wall and so can provide useful insight:

"Memo #63:

All teams who think they can implement their feature by Q4 release date as stated in memo #58, please report to the appropiate senior developer for evaluation. We remind you that exposure to players and the CSM may be deemed necessary, so wear clean socks at all times"

Currently there are 4 post-it and a dozen pictures of cats at the Development Wall. Also there is a big sign saying: "Today is (not) panic time yet".

They want to reorganize and partly rename the skill groups (just leave the "Spaceship Command"-skill alone!!!).
Then there was some talk about an undock animation (akin to the new jumping animation?).
And finally a "dislike" button, which promises lots of fun... people giving random "dislikes" just because they can. Like when the new bounties got introduced. Or not.

Oh, and "ring mining" or something.

For the winter expansion CCP will continue their effort in improving the core of our spaceship simulator. They learnt the lesson and will continue to listen to the players feedback and needs.

According to this the next espansion will be called "The New Era" and centered on Afterburner rebalance.

CCP Aerospace enegenieers, devleopers, and designers are working to the new Afterbruners:

T1 and Meta AB will be nerfed for an average of -2% bonus
T2 AB will be nerfed for -2%
A brand new AB willl be added: T3 AB with the same attributes as the old T2


MWD will be the focus for the next summer expansion.

As I only started EVE in the last year I made sure to go back and watch the Fanfest keynotes from previous years. Having watched all the earlier "CCP Presents" keynotes available I realised that at every one they announce huge idea that they would like to add to the game, but the thing is they never implemented any of them. So while things like Player Owned Stargates sound awesome, I really do not think they will be implemented in the near future, if at all.

Yeah, it's just an idea thing, inspiration for the future.

What it does mean is CCP (or Seagull at least) will probably want any new "jesus features" to follow the path that wormholes opened up (vastness, mystery, exploration, difficulty). That's good by my book, Wormholes are still the best non-player created content in the game by a fairly wide margin.
