For me, it's this:

# of command ships I could undock in yesterday: 0
# of command sips I can undock in today: 8

Love the new toys to play with!!!

It might be the exploration changes, but I won't know if I like it for another couple weeks since I have to train a few things up before I can get the Exploration skills.

I like the new jump animation, but it gets kinda bland after going through 30 jumps.

The worst part about it is the annoying undock button, as well as the neckbeards who are complaining about CCP Mintchip. I think she is adorable.

That the docks are essentially the same.

Where my toons will be a skilling for the next couple of months. Ugh

CCP Mintchip o7

But also the jump gate animations + camera pointing to next gate when on autopilot. Just a small thing, but I set a character to autopilot 12 jumps and found that I just had to watch. I didn't get away from the computer because just watching the world of EVE flowing past was entertaining enough to keep me from my cup of tea. Just removing the loading bar and fade to black transition makes the world feel seamless.

The new ice distribution kept me up all night, so I guess I found that interesting too!

I've been exploring all day, so going to go with "exploration".

Wow this stuff was always present and I was just ignorant to it?!?

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Can fly same ships I could fly before.

Got a 6.5M SP hit, this is negative despite clones cost lower prices, they still cost at each loss and still has a negative impact.

Warp tunnel is nice a couple times, once you've done 10 jumps you start searching the option to turn it off, and zdat camera centering at each jump is just annoying.

Exploration is the greatest click fest after PI, I'm wondering what's next to come on future expansions, probably more clicks...

1-New scanner I rather like it but probing ships... (I'm so awful at this you can't imagine) want BM probe location back !!

Well that's about it for the 1st favorite thingy

Otherwise, in categories:

Things that needed doing years ago: POS fixes

Thinking about it: The moon mining changes and the ripples they have already caused.

By the warm and fuzzy feeling: Space feels more inhabited with the sensor overlay providing visual clues.

Actual impact on gameplay: Most of the scanning improvements (change of default between single and all probes FTW) and exploration stuff (needs iteration though).

Things we take for granted, but are awesome: Ship Rebalancing.

Just really too expensive than the regular one, not worth for the buck.

Well, you also get 50% more HP and - the real buff - instead of running away scared, they can't help themselves and bite... (HNI > H in the bait department). And really, isn't getting the fight half the battle?

That my "Seamless Intersteller Travel" idea from a year ago posted in Features & Ideas was implemented:

Hrothgar Nilsson wrote:
Is it possible to have seamless interstellar travel? The current system reminds a bit of zoning in Everquest back in 1999.

My idea is, basically, when you jump at a stargate, instead of the bubble that swallows your ship and the stargate shooting you in a beam of light toward another system (zoning), the stargate opens a warp tunnel that you align to and enter automatically after selecting jump.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion...

The gate animations are as mindblowing as they were at Fanfest, and contrary to a lot of the bitching on the forums, I love the scan visuals. It really gives you a feel that you're in a solar system with lots of things going on as opposed to locked off tunnels linking belts, stations and gates.
