Honestly,

I hope its EVE 2...

A new galaxy or space as a whole. Same idea but refined hardened and improved, a new space thats unleashed for all of humanities hellions to race for, new worlds to conquer new resources manufacturing techniques. Completely new factions and styles of ships that don't resemble upside down shoes.
Introducing a player controlled government and political positions for sectors controlling military, gate and station resources.
Perhaps even the ability to shut down and reroute warp gates!

(Hopefully adding a a new ship class between frigate and BB or one above instead of adding tech 3(Balancing better)

Something that would finally put a clean slate for all of the experienced eve players to revenge in attempts to find out everything about everything first. A new knowledge and experience race, a new chance to pick apart every little detail just like the cruel world does today!

(Opinion warning) Perhaps even lowering range or scale somehow so spectators can actually see a space battle instead of a bunch of little squares.

And if they really REALLY want to keep going with Dusk... which im really not sure about. Then they could merge it and perhaps make it where certain overpowered ships can be boarded and destroyed from the inside from some type of boarding vessel or even skyjacked and create a submode on board so that if either teams pilot dies "OH ****!" happens. Then you could switch around rolls if needed say fleet 2 will divert to land warfare while fleet 1 engages station defenses. Boarding parties could re spawn on boarding capital ship which would also house frigates to divert space and land forces where there needed. (Pilot paranoid? Invest in auto turret defense at cost of sub slots!)


Thats the dream for Eve.

in 10 years?

Well they have finally fixed pos system and how it works, we can now rent lab slots to public, even for copying/invention as long as they have office in same system as pos..

Industry and science is more streamlined, you can define unlimited number of named proceses that remember selections you have defined to them. Drag&drop that bpc for invention process and it automaticly chooses your pos lab slot thats available or has shortest wait. Thanks to advancement in drone technology labs now hauls stuff automaticle where they are needed.... ETC...

Few more ships, few more nerfbats swinging arround. Their economist finally wakes up and makes fixes to eve economy to compensate that huge disparity between sources/sinks...

We finally have beatifull graphics that dosent take lates/greates hardware to run on full graphics. Thanks to advancements in display technology we have these visor 3d displays now and can really immerse ourselfs in epic space battles.

CCP finally learned what they broke when fleet battles went to lagfest... and now we have smooth huge fleets fights. Btw they designed new fleet composition and removed the limited fleet implementation we had... 2000 player fleet? No problem...

We are Minmatar, Our ship are made of scraps, but look what our scraps can do...

Its realy hard to answer, is Depend how things in CCP and community went.


In genreal even small changes in EvE take months long, look at last expansions and promises like WIS, meny canceled projects meny not finished things, meny plans in close future, well is easy to predict things in future but hard to implement. All what i want form CCP after next 10 years, is online serwer, even without shyny things, hovewer would be cool to see new expanded and growing EvE.

My vision - wish.
2013. Old good EvE, some destroyers new bounty system.
2014 Quantum revolution first quantum computer.
2015 First quantum engine game experiment .
2016 Quantum technology enter to mass gaming industry and ordinary people.
2017 CCP invest x milon dolars to quantum serwer and software.
2018 EvE the quantum expansion.
2019. Players use brains to control EvE client.
2020. CCP Hilmar become a cyborg who programing and update EvE in real time.
2021. CCP got milions of offices in entire earth, EvE become super popular more than facebook and minecraft, bilions of people in Eve.
2022. CCP provide food and drinks to your home.

EvE isn't game, its style of living.

CCP can't add enough new content to the game to keep it interesting for the bitter vets. And even if they could, by then the game would have become so complex that new player will not be able to do ****, so they won't be able to renew the player base.

So I guess Eve will be dead, enjoy it while it last...

On the other hand, I don't see any reason why CCP or someone else wouldn't be able to create a sequel or spinoff.

Dr Caymus will have 430 million SP, thats most certainty.

IMO the dew option below are perhaps....what I feel personally will happen

1. New graphics overhaul has been implemented. Tesselation, particles etc

2. CCP bought out by major Chinese studio - pay to win is now the norm.

3. Point 2 forces most of eves US/AU/EU TZ people to quit the game due to new month old toons having 100+ million SP and using buying titans and supers as if they were frigates.

What do i think will happen in an perfect world?

1 New graphics overhaul has been implemented. Tesselation, particles etc

2. Most if not all bots gone

3. CCP realise that Wspace is indeed so popular they're forced into making POSes much more of a home from home and include CQ with ability to perhaps open that damn door have have a plsy in the turbo lift.

4. CCP are still balancing titans and supers

5. They have realised that customers thoughts come before their own and petition queues are down to a max if 24 hours on any given topic

6. Ability to descend onto planets and fly in the atmosphere perhaps to hide from nasty piwates yaaar

7. Ability to use gravational pulls from stars/planets in order to mask the signature of a ship. This will be great for every pilot those running and those chasing.

People play MMOs, for the most part to play with others. I swear to God corporations are going to start asking for blood samples for membership in this damn game.

I come from WoW dude, I'm not used to this crap. You hook up with some cool folks, they send an invite, you join and kill stuff together.

Jesus,Mary and Joseph man...

I get defending against spies, but s**t.

The average noob just does not have the patience for this idiocy. Is that good or bad, w/e. Facts are facts and if they want to grow, they need to figure this crap out. The ONLY thing keeping me in EvE is the fact that I'm a truck driver so the skilling system fits well with my schedule. Someone else who's home every day and has access to tons of other games due to a more forgiving schedule? Pffft...

Exactly, I laugh my ass of when I get random invites to join a "cool corp" but immediately get a demand for a Full API to see if I'm a spy. I'm like, "You came to me you silly simp".... Idiots...

With all the space MMOs coming out EVE will have to adapt or die. If the same tired old bull**** is going on here in just 2 years i'm long gone to play Star Citizen or something.


yeah, looks like elite 4 could be on its way soon so CCP better be at the top of their game if they want people to still be playing in 10 years time

I'm kinda hoping CCP resets the damn cluster at some point in the near future. I'd be down for a fresh start. Would drop coin on a year sub immediately even. Big smile

Incarna would have been released years ago, and CCP would have stated that DUST 514 was just an experiment, a succesful one and they would have integrated dust into eve in a single PC game.


T3 frigs and bs, everything rebalanced, more ships, money earned on highsec proportionally fixed in comparison to non empire space.

Because tities .

Fedora wearing, androgynous meta-Savants will rule all of known space. Those that wish to resist the might of the fedora empire are forced into highly unstable wormhole space that was previously ignored due to it's chaotic instability.

The population of the resistance is 1/10th of the loyalists and the Autistic Fedoras.

My dream of Eve in the future:

- Content for veterans who have been with Eve since day one. Badass ultra-rare ships that cannot be boarded unless you have 100m+/200m+ skillpoints and a hundred skills to level 5. The newbies get the bulk of content - time for us old farts to get some candy. Can't state enough.

- An expanding galaxy. Players being able to build explorer ships, and chart out their own pipes of previously undiscovered stars, building their own gates and infrastructure. Such gates could be locked to hostile intruders, but could also be hacked back open to keep things nice and bloody. Or, alternately, an attacking alliance that wants to invade such a pipe could simply map an adjacent pipe, and come at their target from another angle.

- A more interactive galaxy. Proper asteroid belts with collision and consequences for smacking into a rock. Stars with strange effects on ships, not restricted to w-space. Multiple star systems. Slingshots around black holes. Stars going supernova. Other stellar events.

- More weapons. We've been fighting with the same railguns, missiles, arty, drones and lasers since day one. Technology should not be this stagnant in a galaxy approaching technological singularity. Where are the plasma cannons? Where are the radiation weapons and exotic particle blasters? Where are the point singularity projectors and antimatter shotguns and Skipper missiles? Minefields? Inter-system warheads? Wormhole weapons?!

I really hope I'm not still playing Eve in 10 years, otherwise my career and RL will probably have failed pretty hard.
