I would rather go watch grass grow.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

If I have understood it correct the patch coming in 21 days is supposed to contain the second part of the industry release - namely the invention overhaul?

Perhaps they will get also around at last removing the T2 BPO's from the game. Autumn would be kind of logical spot to do it as the returing players from the summer would (probably) smooth out the drop in subs when some number of T2 BPO owners ragequits (for whole several weeks) over such outrageous change.

In any case there seems to be some kind of surprise up the CCP sleeve as if you look the moderation in these two known threads about features of this expansion they are .. very strict .. about "rumours" in there.

Now, maybe, since the name of the update is Hyperion, that the actual ship called Hyperion can get a visible drone bay?

I know, that's why posted it to (successfully I'll add) derail the thread.

To derail derailment a little I will state what could get me excited about incoming releases:
- t3 cruisers made usable in all combinations of subsystems,
- home among stars I could build anywhere,
- meaningful gameplay in mining,
- drones as fully fledged weapon system with proper UI,
- streamlined and easy to understand and manage overview settings,
- ability to accept/complete missions remotely if there's no "delivery" requirement,
- NPC ships fitted in proper way (cruise missiles machariels, seriously?)
- exploration system that would actually let me explore instead of "warp and clickfest" stub

And probably something else I cannot remember right now.
Above list is not organized in any particular order.

As has been well said by Carniflex above, the next "expansion" is supposed to be finishing off the new industry with invention changes.

I'd like to see:

• Research Project Management skill changed to do something other than drip datacores into the game which are now in massive oversupply thanks to FW LP stores
• T2 BPOs made available on the market or via invention (or some research 'project'... *see above) or alternatively all converted to 3 production months worth of BPCs
• Invention teams
• Some actual work done by CCP to improve the overall game rather than tinkering with stats of a couple of ships and massively ramping up the "skins" / Aurum revenue generators and calling it an 'expansion'.

I expect to see:

• Invention teams
• Some more CCP Greyscale screw ups
• A release thats thinner than Netto value brand toilet roll

Do you feel that CCP is obligated to release exciting new content in accordance with their new 6 week release plan or is it sufficient that they merely tweak the current meta with statistic changes and add an occasional module here and there?

No I don't feel they are obliged, but whatever they release under this new approach, it doesn't so far match anything much they outlined during FanFest.

The dates of the first 2 have now been changed. Industry pushed back, pushing back the Corp/Alliance changes. Corp/Alliance changes not so far announced for the next release.

So it's hard to be excited about any of it. I appreciate their continued development of the game, but I'm not going to get wrapped up in the hype of these releases as the information isn't consistent enough so far.

It is early in this new way to manage releasing features (ready or not), so I'm in a wait and see pattern at the moment. Not excited, nor disinterested if that makes sense.

The 6 week window means that things will*cough* should ship when they're done. The kind of unenviable work they're doing, ripping out legacy systems and jamming in new ones, is not easy to schedule.

So yeah, there are going to be some yawner releases. They're much better than yawner expansions.

Hyperion is the "we just all got back from vacation" release, so I'm really not expecting much at all.

im just going to jump in on this one right quick..


the dev's are using the new catch phrase "vision".. yet they're obviously blind cause they're going with a named expansion called Hyperion.. yet decided to completely shun the actual battleship in terms of expansion level new content...

nope.. their meaning of "vision" now means we'll do a small tweak and perhaps change up a few things that will allow the player to have more fittings... that's content??? really??????????


not excited at all.. I want the new dominix re-imaged ship.. I want the new rorqual and her new look.. that's having a vision but fraid to say.. cant see a vision right now cause its time for vacation. :(



they need to really remove this "expansion" term and go with patch updates cause I cant really see "new content" on expansion level when in fact its only tweaks and adjustments.

I know things are different here when they use terms and it is what it is.. but this stuff is far from expansions.

expansions = new areas, new AI spawns, new revamps, new missions, new something elsewhere.
here its.. small tweaks, perhaps one major fix, nerfs, nerfs again, oops add in a module to fix the nerf, watch market react to the nerfs, forum rage, folks saying "ive had it im out", poor ISD dude going off on forums about it then sounding like a robot, a csm member comment, alliance members comments, trolling, bickering, and then a dev responding in cryptic fashion.... this is an eve "expansion" all put together.

I have one more item on my list but that would make all hamsters drown in rivers of tears:

Warp drives working as they are in Star Trek and alike - set coords and off you go. As a trade off: when you land there's so much energy emitted that your grid becomes warpable beacon.

I know camping boys pay for this game too and they would get frakked by such change. Adapt or die, v0v
And I know current system cannot support such things but hey, I'm not a developer I won't pay attention to technical details when my dreams are considered :)

they are going with ancient greek titans names: cronus (kronos), crius, hyperion, coeus, iapetus, menmosyne, thetys, theia, phoebe, rhea and themis.
some of eve ships are named after titans too but expansions arent named after ships, they just have the same hispiration.
