People who install everything to C:/ make me cringe, they should be flogged or something...

Or at least forced to buy and install a second hard drive....

expansions that have more ships, explosions and modules tend to do the best - SHOCKING in a space game about space ships isnt it!

yes it will be a good one for sure!

It will be a good expansion but we will have to wait and see just how good it is in the long term.

Considering how fail many of the "updates" have been, it's not a real high bar....

They have some interesting updates to the game engine with this upcoming expansion. But preferably for this winter I'd like them to work on solving the ever-constant boredom of the nullsec sovereignty grind and really bring some fun back into null-sec for everyone. They also have some neato UI changes with this release in a game that has pretty much the same space UI that it had back in 2003. So definitely some ground-breaking changes in this release! :D I'm looking forward to it.

I'm also Spartacus. Problem?

The only thing I don't like about Odyssey is the choice to "improve" the radial menu instead of getting rid of it completely. I would like to be able to left click and hold in space to drag my camera without running the risk of getting an xbox UI element if I accidentally hit a bracket or my own ship.

Other than that, Odyssey seems really great!

Agreed, CCP have a poor history of UI design they seem to prefer it to look pretty rather than function properly. Hopefully there'll be a rebind option.

Personally, the exploration is of little interest but some of the rebalancing may be interesting.

The radial menu and the minigame stuff is all setting the table for future mobile gaming.

Yes, they are boring, mindless and horrible UI. But they will work in a mobile paradigm.

Tears will be shed and pants will need to be changed all round.

Megathron design revamp

Megathron new fittings, slots and hull bonus (could use of some more dps, after all it's supposed to fear enemy on simple sight)

HAM's/HM's revamp

Frigates revamp

New frigates

New destroyers

Cruisers revamp

Tier 3 battlecruisers

ASB's

Mining barges revamp

UI revamp even if some aspects of it required some huge efforts to become better than older version (it's never ended anyway)

V3 and new textures

Awesome gifts

Player retention efforts

New Player Experience

FW

And I think I could continue on and on, but is this enough for you?

It's not even an expansion for me (no new WiS features, no hi-sec content). Just yet another patch.

Regardless of how successful the expansion will be, GD will be littered with haterade on patch day and for weeks after.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
