I wouldn't regard some rebalancing and other tinkering as an "expansion". To me an expansion implies some new content.

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

I think the next expansion will all be about Chribba, self, self, self, self, self, me, me, me, me, me ,me PBlink

Personally I'm hoping for something to rekindle my interest in this game.

Unfortunately all of the things I have been looking forward to seem to be firmly in the "soon" box with no hope of ever making it into the game (modular POS with interiors, comet mining, WiS).

I predict some minor tweaks and a "re-skinning" of an existing feature (production/ invention maybe)

Probably something underwhelming. Some obscure mechanic a fraction of the player base uses.

The trouble with those "patches" (I wont use the word expansion), is that they gave us stuff that only affected a small portion of the player-base each time. Crucible gave us Time Dilation, Customs Offices, the New Nebular, the biggest contribution to V3 so far, implants on killmails, the tier 3 BCs as well as three racial captains quarters.

The previous three patches just don't compare to that. Almost every item on that list affected near enough everyone. And it had a bigger list of fixes and balancing than Inferno to boot.

Inferno we saw Factional Warfare rejig, and a change in the war dec mechanic that people are still crying out to have changed. The rest was balancing of ui fixes. Sure, I war dec, but the new system changed almost nothing for me.

It's pretty much the same story with every release after that. They're cool, but they're not expansions.

This feature already exists. You can walk your toon to the pod, then undock. That would get out of the Captain's Quarters.

I don't know. I hope it will be about modular POS's and hive ships, I suspect it will be about kicking the can down the road and placating the playerbase. /bittervet

Maybe they'll nerf teleportation across the map! Big smile

I suspect that a fair few of them are working on overhauling and rewriting back-end code--which is both the most difficult and tedious part of any developer's job, and the most thankless--and I suspect that there's enough of that to keep them slaving in the proverbial coal mines for a few years yet.

On the plus side, each system they redo yields them a new set of options. The winter expansion announcement will probably let us know what they're close to completing.

The only concrete detail I have, from one of the CSM threads, is that it will touch every part of EVE. So look beyond specific gameplay features and toward some of the basic features of the game. Industry, say.

That would be the most awesome feature ever. Just imagine how many new subs we'd get JUST to do that. Awesome! Pirate

My guess goes to sov system updates in addition to pages of re balances and tweaks.

I'm not expecting any "real" new content, just more tweaks. I hope to be surprised.

Pretty much.

CCP had been ignoring core game mechanics for many years before they couldn't get away with it anymore. Now they have to spend a ton of time fixing everything before they can seriously look at adding a bunch of new content.

Fed navy comet+police siren= massive trolling when locking targets. God, I can see that happening a bit too clearly.
