Do you think there will ever be an Alien invasion expansion?

Seeing a CCP dev in my system is alien enough for me.

Everything is static on EVE, even the supposedly dynamic stuff. What you are asking is what I expected from incursions, random, can happen everywhere and progressive attacks. Which at some point people will need to respond too, incursions just turned out to be another form of missions.

I often proposed simple changes to make even the 5+ year old repetitive mission more entertaining and dynamic....never happened. No adaptive behavior, like changing ammo and/or range, no random (even if just out of a small set of templates) versions of missions that have different optimal tactics.

Anyways, I hope they eliminate everything that screams grind. That means passive standings, repetitive missions, lack of wonder in just about everything. Wonder was what got me into eve, it was big, new, tons of things to explore, deadly and harsh at every stage.

If they ever going to do real invasions, what the OP suggests, is what i want, all out war where everyone is needed to fight or to supply for the fight. Surely the aliens cannot win, that would be end of game, unless CCP thinks of something really masterful. But either way, the invasion should have pervasive effects that players WANT to fight. Add discoveries about their origin over time, not in terms of events or CCP news, but things that players can discover in wormholes etc. Slowly over the course of a year or more generate a picture and better means to fight the invaders. It would be brilliant!

I am serious!
