Slaver Hound pets for all
Slaver Hounds as a playable 5th race, and an entire new line of ships to match. Not sure what the EWar will be, but it will be a hard counter to many Minmatar ships. Looking forward to a massive influx of new players with accounts on FurAffinity.

Well, just speculating here...but...

Some ships will get nerfed.

A weapon system will either get nerfed or buffed. Toss up on that one Roll

A play style will get nerfed. Scamming was hit in a point release, so I would expect it in "Generic Winter Expansion, er, Rebalance.1"

High sec will get nerfed.

Low sec will remain a slum.

Null sec will...um...who knows?

POSes will remain crap.

Supers will get nerfed, again.

Goons will be nerfed.

Renting will be nerfed...too much income.

A whole load of NeX items will be released, so that you can see it in your station cubicle.

NPC's will be buffed and missions will change from 1-5's to just "Missions", requiring a fleet of 10 to complete an anomaly or a mission. Incursions too will be effected by this. Vanguards will now require a fleet of 25. Assaults will require fleets of 50. HQ's will require a 5 wing fleet. Sleeper sites will require 1000 people to complete.

All of the ships that do get changed, if found to be too powerful, will be nerfed to compensate for the original changes, in the point release.

WH's will be nerfed.

The Drake will be nerfed, again. It now can only fit rocket launchers. And gets dropped to 45m/s speed, and only two low slots. It will have an additional 25,000,000 mass added as well.

Every ship will now have a specialist bay of some sort.

The T3's will be removed from the game. Easier than nerfing them into the ground.

PLEX will be nerfed.

Aurum will be buffed.

The MJD will be nerfed. It is too commonly used now.




Just speculation, of course. Blink






Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

Just because the lead game designer is leaving does not mean the assault on high sec will not continue, though I hope it is tempered somewhat.

But I expect that the damage has been done, and high sec will see the beginning of the end of T2 industry with the winter iteration.
The power of the null sec cartels is too great to stop them from getting the prize they desire more than anything else.

Forget about moon goo.
Forget about massive ore belts.
Forget about the best ice belts in the game.
Forget about the best ratting item drops in the game.
Forget about rental income.

They are all dwarfed by the income null sec will gain when T2 industry is removed from high sec.

If that should really be the outcome of Soundwave leaving, then EVE will slowly fade back into the obscurity like "one of those games"...but I doubt it.

You seem to think that all isk making done in nullsec is done at the alliance level and not at an individual level

It will focus on shuttles

  • Shuttle rebalancing – much needed rounding to whole numbers of shuttle attributes
  • New shuttle related skills – must have new skills to increase shuttle cargo holds and warp speed (charisma / memory rank 14).
  • New shuttle paint jobs – did somebody say more camouflage ships please? They sure did!
  • Faction shuttles – good news for FW LP farmers as they cash in on demand for these exciting ships.
  • Under the hood shuttle boost - refactoring shuttle code to reduce lag in shuttle blobs.
  • New shuttle related mods – shuttle catapult allows you to fire unmanned shuttles at supercaps.
  • Localisation – shuttle names now translated into Esperanto and Latin.


Lets do this one point at a time.
Shuttle rebalancing - if they do this, it'll be a bigger waste of time then Incarna.
New shuttle related skills - waste of time
New shuttle paint jobs - same with the rest of them, it'll get done.
Faction Shuttles - Already exhist, look at the market for further information.
Under the hood etc etc - Same as rebalancing.
New shuttle mods - can't fit them, never happen.
Localisation - Plausible

Never going to happen. Get over it.

Or you could /publicly/ break your NDA and just tell us...


At no point have CCP ever raised or even discussed planetary flight with CSM8 when I have been present. NDA doesn't apply.

It's obvious to even a casual observer that planetary flight was a nice idea mentioned nearly a decade ago that's never going to be implemented.
