Let's start a thread to collect all of our wishlists and speculation on the upcoming summer expansion.

My wishlist would be:

pirate factions in lowsec. More exploration options including more small group content. Wormholes iterated where necessary and diversified.

What does everyone else want?

Bit late...might want to aim for the Spring expansion. Also there's a broadcast on Sept 26th on Twitch to present the Winter Expansion changes.

Better luck next time and I hate speculative threads. Got an idea, post it up but not a massive collection that turns into a threadnaught with no single shared idea but lots of itty-bitty comments and a headache trying to relate them to the previous one. Just my thoughts.

My personal gripes:

-*- PI\Science Window updates to show Storage Capacities\% reached and Extractor End Times. And make the damn thing resizable with filterable columns like the overview has so you can choose what to show. I'd love to see this sooner than Summer.

-*- Planetary Interaction API - Just do it already!

-*- Fleet UI updates

-*- Add cooldown timers to modules icons for modules with reactivation delays

EDIT:

-*- Fast Character Switching "XP Stylee"

I hope and predict some visual improvements, ship rebalancing, new UI features, some iterations to old mechanics, bug fixes and a bunch of very interesting new features.

I also predict 100% success rate for my prediction.

that "bunch of very interesting new features" part has been lacking the last couple of years, so not a sure bet.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

For most players the past expansions have resulted in much better EVE experience than completely new features have.

But yeah, next expansions will have new stuff, read the CSM summit reports.

I would like to see escalations happen more frequently and be harder. Give wormholes data logs and such things that require advanced skill level to decrypt but they allow you to open a "mission" that is another wormhole where you can continue to follow the paper trail. Have them like cosmos mission and give meaningful insight to the backstory of eve.

I agree with this. From the CSM summit reports there is something exciting that, in the words of one CSM memeber

" could be a game changer in many ways"

I'm intrigued to what it might be

As the loot spew mechanism was touted as "an experiment into different modes" and was meant as a prototype "idea" for mining it might be we're getting a new mining mechanic but that's just a guess

If you've never tried PvP in EvE it's quite possible you've missed out on one of the greatest rushes available in modern gaming.

"Much better EVE experience" =! "New and interesting fatures".

imagine my amusement at the idea that by acting now I can make sure something with more depth than odyssey gets created. A ui change and some performance improvements would scarcely qualify as an expansion in any other game.

erm we're already winter by here, the "Mont Blanc" already had his first snow flakes this week, so is this about next year summer expansion?

Lol

Yes, fundamentally this is about next years summer expansion. From reading CSM minutes over the last 2 years I know that their design parameters are very long. In other words by the time an expansion is announced, work to complete it is already underway and has several months of progress. I am hoping to influence that long-term design by collecting public discourse for them to look at in one place. Let CCP take from threads like this what they will, at least they can't say they weren't aware of *our* priorities vs theirs.
