According to the recent CSM minutes, CCP will be assembling expansions around a particular theme, rather thana particular feature.

What do you think the theme of the next expansion will be.

I'm hoping "smuggling"

Which would include a boost to drug manufacture (and the parts of the POS that are used to make them. New boosters that we can sell to dust bunnies in multiplayer establishments. And players scanning for booster smugglers and applying mob justice.

I'm still hoping for a complete overhall to POSes.

I still fondly remember the old 'Flogging the dead horse' threadnaugh. Modular POS design for the win!

Whole horde and army of SCM are involed to bring small change in EvE.

Realy i dont get this whole rumor about SCM, CCP and future plans , CCPas big company with a lot of employes need them to make EvE fresh.

To much talk, to much planing to much rumor, nothing changes, end even if changes this take years. Come on! 23.000 online right now, do somthing spontaneously for your fans who online and who bored from your strategy which give one marginal features per few years like long time ago prison cell caled WIS.

EvE progres and strategy is like disscus betwen two old grandmothers who discius few hours about how to make tee.

Exciting about blogs and CSM ? im not, i dont buy this talk anymore, im to old for this, some of you my wash other brains but not mine.

EvE isn't game, its style of living.

I like this post more than I'm willing to admit, because while it criticizes CCP's attempt to be transparent when making decisions regarding their game, I believe the foundation of how the decide which direction to take is dilouted by the sheer amount of voices influencing the development of CCP's product. Perhaps stronger leadership with a sole focus would benefit changes being made faster to the game and remove the large amount of un-needed dialouge.

I think they should just center the next expansion around "complaining"
That way, no matter what they do, what improvements they make or what they break they'll nail it.

I wish the next expansion was about ships.

Just about ships.

Since last year's theme was War, I'm hoping they'll go for something like Rebuilding / Carving a home / Your place in the universe and how it's affected by those arround you.

They can include stuff like:
- POS (living in WH space / Better production facilities for industrialists - benefits group play)
- PI (Iterate with Dust / space elevators where you can dock / fight generator (non FW lowsec needs this too) industry + group play)
- Rework hisec missions runners - having fw affect missions/taxes (solo players)

Spread it out over all of 2013's releases, fine with me.

more useless items for aurum and a reworking of the character creation engine, to truly allow the ability to make morbidly obese avatars; a major oversight in the current design.

This would be a nice theme for this year.

They should revamp all missions to contain less npc's (which would be much tougher, like sleepers/incursion npcs)

Something drone related.

Give us drone incursions - they could come in and kick out sansha in a live event
rebalance all existing drones stats
Give us a new UI for drones

bring some new drones in, either via new drops etc, but tie this in to an overall revamp of the science and industry section.

I'd vote for ALIENS but would settle for Jovians.

Or maybe add Hyperspace as another means of travelling between systems and a new place to PvP in Idea

No jove. that would ruin them.

IMO the jove should only be introduced in the dying days of Eve, maybe the last few weeks before they turn TQ off forever
