Looks good. It's great to see that you are still focusing on real Eve content and not wasting time on more WiS nonsense.

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise

I, for one, am super excited about interceptors getting some much needed upgrades and love.

So I can lock things faster.

hope there will be something other than current wardec mechanics for shooting highsec pocos. would make stuff kinda expensive for small entities if big blocks set their eyes on stuff.

Highsec customs offices

PERSONAL DEPLOYABLE STRUCTURES!!!!!


4 new type of structures




This is all early, things may changes, they are working on it and want feedback rumour has it (more mechanics to mess with each other especially 0.0 and lowsec), and from what I understand within these types will be more structures.

Siphon Unit - steal resources from star base's.

Depot - Mobile home base, personal you can put it out in space, allows you to have your own little spot to hold your stuff, and a cheap fitting service, bunch of different uses (can be killed, all these things can be destroyed you can shoot these in highsec, you will just get a suspect timer).

Deployable Automatic tractor beam and looting device (won't salvage).

Deployable Temporary short range cyno jammer, disposable one time use, around a 100km range they are working on that.



Fixing warping acceleration, warp speed will affect acceleration, anything below a t1 cruiser will be warping faster, bigger will be slower although may adjust some warp speeds like freighters.

Ship balancing changes (more stuff that hasn't been talked about will come), marauders(will transform, ewar immunity, can't move and tank a ton), inceptors(will get bubble immunity, will get a thread open about it, they stole this idea from a player on the forum) and interdictors.

New bubble graphics.

New missile launcher battle ship sized, rapid launcher.

New ships - Sister Of Eve Faction Ships - Frigate, Cruiser, first t1 faction ships that get covert ops.

Frigate: http://imgur.com/VqYroaz,jnPYG9J#1

Cruiser: http://imgur.com/VqYroaz,jnPYG9J

New certificate system, better & cleaner, certificates will be organised together for ships, and have only skills and no other certificates as pre-req's.

A kind of in-game map of all EVE ships to see how good you would be at flying them with your current skills & certificates.

Changes to character selection screen - Completely new / easier to use, more information about your character, more to come on that.

Integration Twitch TV into the EVE client, no 3rd party, all in-game integrated and you can share a lot easier.

I believe this is it for now, but mentioned there will be more in the expansion. Personally am looking forward to the personable deploying base, this is going to add some new ways to WH daytripping, or soon weektripping?

Oh and 23rd October the collection edition will be shipped out.

awesome.

I disagree

Neither one of those things have anything to do with Eve.

I'm hoping the new player structures means that a whole new management mechanic has been developed for them overall, and that it will be backported to the existing structures. I hear nothing but horrible things about the management API for the existing structures.

For the new SOE ships is the "covert ops" going to be a cloak or cyno?

Incorrect. Both need to be iterated on, alongside balance changes and new ships, in order to compete in an environment where EVE is seeing it's first competitors in years in it's genre and playstyle. DUST needs more representation in the EVE client, and a greater role in the game design. There needs to be a reason for players to interact across New Eden.

WiS remains the most important element in selling the combined EVE/DUST/Valkyrie universe.

Me and Rehes are going to get a CQ together so we can role play dance moves... then when WoD comes out were going to bite each others necks in RP glory within the game!


Gratz CCP on the expansion./ Stil looking forward to one day walking out of the CQ..or I will just build a sci fi game myself Pirate

Little more effort for catching traffic than just bubble everything into oblivion and alpha ships at safe distance?

Whats actually happening about the ccp Seagull stuff? I want that part of eve and none of these features actually seem to leading towards it. I like some of the new stuff but in general its pretty underwhelming.
