EVE General Discussion

2016: CCP releases Tech 4 Double Gold. With 100% more endless awesomeness then Tech 4 Gold.

2021: At MIT a AI becomes self aware, and take over the world defense systems. After the AI logs onto EVE Online, the AI accidentally believes the EVE universe is real and a threat to itself. Nukes Iceland.

EVE Online remains offline for 2 weeks. Remorseful AI overload issues 500K skill points to each customer.

2026: Now CCP International(CCPI), CCPI release new update requiring all customers to connect their cerebral cortex to EVE Online server, and download their consciousnesses. Four hours after the new update EVE Online is attacked by a feral zombie net, and kills all players online.

Wrongful death case is throughout, and dead players consciousnesses are declared property of CCPI. Do to the EULA.

CCPI transfers dead player consciousnesses to the company's international sanitation inspection division. There they assign the dead player consciousnesses to their global network of sewer inspection robots.

2026
Life is going to be awesome!

FW will be fun and include pirate factions.
Lowsec will be boosted into a mini-sov style mechanic based entirely off of ship destruction.
Dust will have a raiding party expansion that allows them to destroy Establishments in stations and send Capsuleers running to their Captains quarters and locking the door.
Pilots will be able to disembark into a Mass Effect style 3rd person shooter inside of Sleeper complexes in W-space.
PI will actually involve region control and pollution and populations, as originally intended.
EvE Gate will incorporate functionality similar to EvEmon (with skill queue control) and EFT theory crafting that can be easily imported into game.
The Combat log will be revised and made more killboard like, with ISK destroyed/lost engagement breakdown, campaigns, war history, and Mercs can use these stats in a new Merc contract system, which will be a piece of a larger treaty system.
Drones will do what you tell them.
Windows won't move around on their own.
Assault frigs will have 4 bonuses.
All weapons systems will be balanced and fleets will be a medley of ships, since each is useful in its own right.
Bounty Hunting will be revised into a profession where players can accept a Bounty "mission" against a random character with a bounty and this is the only way to collect said bounty, as opposed to its current broken system.
Mining will be more interactive for those that wish to take advantage of that system, but without making it mandatory for those that do not wish it to be so.
Hisec Ice fields will deplete (and replenish randomly, to avoid timezone problems, and possibly curb botting).


Or we'll be able to "spin" ships again, and pray the thousand-little-papercuts list is almost finished being worked on, provided no more new glitches are added.

You have to remember that EVE is allready 8 years old. This was their second expansion.

We dont get expansions like that anymore. So judging by the 2-3 last years i think we will have something like this:

2012: OMG new clothes at the NEX store! Also, fixed a issue where people were able to do missions too fast. You are now limited to 2 missions per 24H.

2013: OMG new clothes at the NEX store! Gallente CQ released

2014: OMG new clothes at the NEX store! Caldari CQ released

2015: OMG new clothes at the NEX store! Issues with amarr CQ makes it delayed

2016: OMG new clothes at the NEX store! Hybrids are fixed. Making Gallente FOM

2017: When people ask for the amarr CQ, the devs seems confused and are being quoted as saying " Its not out yet?"

2018: EVE goes FTP, no updates are done, number of logged in accounts are floating around 5000. EVE is fun again
