As a suggestion that will probably get trolled into the ground. Instead of trying to dazzle us with more "NEW" and "IMPROVED" features this winter instead they spend there time and effort working on all thee issues that seem to be a reoccurring them every day on the forums. Also in doing so complete the half done expansion we just received.

As the old saying goes quality before quantity. As a small list of things which should be looked into and fixed before andy more expansions are to be released, which there is sure to need more added.

1. Merc Marketplace

2. New wardec system and loopholes

3. The new modules that were added / promised (drone damage module seems decent)

4. Incursions (lets face it you killed ole yellar and burned his corpse)

5. Factional warfare ( Have no personal experience on this but have heard dissent about current setup)

6. The unified Inventory (need i say more, tho devs has responded saying they are working on it.)

etc etc

This list can go on and on But These are just off the top of my head.

Honestly, CCP is working on rebalancing every ship. So for a while its going to be that as the main focus (or should be).

It is likely that the next expansion will be an expansion of our latest expansion.

To expand on my earlier deliberate vaguery...

Its clear that you didn't see the other 900 posts about pretty much this exact same thing, and so you needed your own.

Seriously, a week later and we are still pointing at the obvious and opening new threads about it?

Oh, and this

To tell you the truth, they're almost going to have to do a winter expansion. CCP really has no choice. Winter is around the time that Dust is going to hit, and if you think they're not going to do an expansion to integrate Dust, then I really got to ask you to lay off the drugs.

So... you dont want ccp to get minmatar v3'd

Rebalancing more ships?

Dust 514 intergration?

More refinement to current things that arent working so well including drone interfaces, more new modules and the stuff.

Dust 514's CPM 1 Iron Wolf Saber Eve mail me about Dust 514 issues.

CCP Unifex made clear that all big summer/winter updates are going to be separated by multiple smaller updates like Escalation. Improvement on the inventory, Crimewatch and the promised merc-market are prime candidates for being added this was.

Operation WRITE DOWN ALL THE THINGS!!!  Check out the list at http://bit.ly/wdatt Collecting and compiling all fixes and ideas for EVE. Looking for more editors!

I personally would like to see Dreads enhanced to be better at killing Supers. Just a thought.

Speaking of which I heard that they are getting a new capital ship out there to unload the electronic warfare roles OFF the carriers and onto these newer ships.

Carriers will retain remoting and fleet supports while the new class will screw with the enemies ability to perform.

CCP wanted to bring new stuff like walking in stations, but players did not want it.

Players wanted that CCP will fix the old and make it better. Now they are doing it like players wanted, stop complaining.

It seems that there is no way to please player base so better to let CCP do what they want.

There is lot of new games out there to try before CCP manage to fix things to decent level of functionality.

In winter, we will see great and absolutely superb industrial expansion *sarcasm*, that will move moon goo (or create a new one) onto planets, soo that we will be (not likely) pushed more into fighting over planets.

Also another round of 4 frigates will get "rebalancing" into upper craptness.
We will also see move of minning bonus from mining frigs into:
a) newb. frigate
b) new ore mining frigate

So no, nothing really new for the actual pvp.

CCP really please dont use Upgraded, Limited, Experimental and Prototype in item names. It sounds like the item is actually worse than basic meta 1 item. Use Calibrated, Enhanced, Optimized and Upgraded. Its really easy to understand that the item is better than meta 1 and its also in alphabetic order.

I agree with that thought. Don't bother to expand. Your customers aren't impressed with inflation. We are impressed with quality control. Has anyone heard if CCP has a Quality Control section? They may have missed that lesson on their YouTube management course - Managment By Crisis.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

There will be a winter expansion, from a marketing stand point there has to be. "New EvE Online Expansion..." Vs "EvE Online, no expansions for the last year..."

See what I mean?

The problems can be fixed in the background while rolling out another xpac it's not that hard to deligate teams to the different in-house functions. Whether they pull it off or not is another story.

I think the new expansion should be called, Eve Online The Cold Snap.

CCP Said earlier that Inferno might really be 3 expansions.. There was Escalation, now there's Inferno proper, but they said some stuff might not be done, so there might be a polish to a lot of this stuff come out in July or something.. Long before the Winter Expansion..

I think fanfest takes away too much developer time from the summer expansions.

Many of the folk I know in-game would happily forgo an 'expansion' to see the many faults with the game mechanics fixed.

I would prefer that CCP stop releasing biannual 'expansions' (I suspect that having committed to a release date explains the unfinished state of the inventory system) in favour of a steady release of smaller, but game ready improvements.

This is not a signature.
