I agree

The new character selection screen has made



My subscription even more value for money

Some people have such a limited definition of Expansion:

There is some new content: Ghost Sites.
There are new ships: SOE Ships.
There are new conflict devices: Highsec POCOs, Syphons.
There are new player tools to utilize: Deployable Cyno Jammer, Depot, Bastion Mode
and there are major changes to mechanics: Warp changes, especially coupled with Interceptor Nullification, are revolutionizing small and medium gang activity.

To be frank, this game is very different now than before the expansion. This is a sandbox, where an expansion doesn't mean new dungeons or more levels. Here, the majority of quality content is player created, as such expansions focus on generating new tools and optimizing mechanics to generate that content. It is extraordinarily short sighted to shoe-horn these changes as a glorified patch.

+1 for Rubicon!

No new isk faucets for highsec bears and day-old alts.

No nerfs to aggression/buffs to protection.

^^Why I'm loving this expansion more than the last four, the rest is just gravy.

This is also probably the first expansion i spent significant time right after deployment, specifically getting involved in new content. It was exciting. This expansion also heavily influences the metagame of areas of the game im interested in. I was into exploration pre-apocrypha, and I did enjoy the new scanning system, but I wasn't flying t3's or diving WHs for a long time after its release.

Some things were just nice surprises, like the new effects for anchored bubbles and the MWD spool up sound.


New content? Where is that?

First thing i thought looking at this approach was: null solo just got more viable, expect way more tourism where previously there was none.

Maybe i overestimated the hisec barnacles, seriously guise, this is your chance to spoil yourself! Few weeks of phat null treasures and you won't be able to stand empire no more.

A man can dream.

Took a sick day *cough cough* from work to grab some pocos on a bunch of plasma planets in high sec where I run...

I haven't been able to log on as EVE won;t install the rubicon updates. Lots of tears here. Going through uninstalling eve, redownloading everythign and trying again.

I know all teh pocos in a 20 jump radius will be taken

making smaller ships warp THAT MUCH faster is probably the single best change i have ever seen in the game.

i feel overpowered in a frigate.

Probably a bad investment anyway. If you bought them b4 the patch, you can probably make out better selling the mats.
