I didn't find anything like that.

Is there a public one for EVE?

We know they're going to continue ship balancing, I guess. And we know about other things CCP want to improve, such as drones, UI, PVE. Probably the best way to learn about such things is to read previous CSM summit meeting minutes. They've just had a summit, so hopefully there'll be a new set of minutes released in a month or so.

Rebalance old stuff, add new ships and modules so players can create more content. I guess this is about all.

Thanks for that tidbit. :)
The awkward thing in my eyes is, that every game out there seems to have one, except EVE. Makes it feel a bit obscure like "we tinker around at many things and hopefully find finalized stuff to put into the next expansion/release/update". :(

The way CCP wants to do expansions is to compile a list of stuff they want to work on, think up a theme for the expansion, then pick the stuff they feel fits the theme. I'm sure they'd prioritise really important stuff even if it doesn't fit the theme, though.

Probably they are still working on it. There was something about new frontiers to discover and industrialize by space pioneers in fanfest 2013 keynote, but this will probably transform into something we do not expect from them. There was kind of Incarna roadmap in EVE, but it was replaced with tinker roadmap for 2 years when people ruined Jita monument in a fear of microtransactions.

The word "expansion" is a bit big for what really happens, rebalance stuff is more about patches, introduce new stuff then is an addition, we actually get both lately.
An expansion as "we" are used to, means for many players a lot of new ships stations stuff NPC content etc but Eve is Eve and since it's MOSTLY player created content once you get space stations, space ships, space bucks and space conflicts there's not really much you can add then new systems/mechanics tweak old ones so they become more intuitive therefore interesting then they were etc.

Except more space ships, more space ships roles, more mechanics, more modules, more stations, more systems what else can be added?
-Dust514 is rather meh and currently means nothing to me but a forum section named like that, Incarna was badly perceived but this one could be a good opening for a real expansion.

Incarna was a mess, there was no content, a microtransaction model that was anything but and the initial Dev response to players questions about where they were going with it was questionable to say the least.

To answer the original question, yes there is a roadmap but it's internal not public. Eve players are devious enough that any public roadmap would be used to theorycraft possible ways to exploit any weaknesses that could appear.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I have no clue.
One can like or dislike PI. But this seemed to some kind of "enrich" the existing Universe.

However. I think my question is answered. Thanks to you contributers. Smile

It has worked for the first 10 years, why change something that isn't broken?

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

EVE's broken in many respects. Now CCP are working to fix the holes rather than lumping us with more broken systems.
