Assuming the summer expansion will hit somewhat around early june, it's "only" ~100 more days to wait for it now! Time to start speculating!

What do you think might be some of the lines we'll see in the upcoming summer expansion's patch notes. Also - don't get me wrong, while I do enjoy and definitely support continuing work on rebalancing ships/modules, reworking the UI or doing whatever that improves existing stuff - do you think we will finally will see real new content (new content as in entirely new "profession" or new thing to do in EVE)?

This isn't a traditional MMO that makes some 'new' content that makes every single old piece of content obsolete. Everything stays relevant in EVE. So the amount of relevant content doesn't decrease by an expansion.

So, in your opinion the introduction of for example wormhole space and all related features was a waste of development time and should have been spent on reiterating older features?

I want a tophat for my classy monocle.

Also, I'd really like to see CCP have a look at POS bubble mechanics and the people who skirt their edges.
I'd like to see the ceptor bubble immunity done away with.

Make the Nestor worth flying, unscrew FW LP stores so that the guys in highsec can actually make a decent profit converting LP (Not SOE LP, I mean the rest).
Revert the dictor bubble change, as it is ENDLESSLY annoying to use now.

Tweak cloaks so people can't sit there for weeks without being found. This is a silly mechanic.
