EVE Information Portal

CCP Seagull, EVE Executive Producer, comes with thrilling news about the future of EVE after reviewing a bit the past.

We will bring back epic, feature focused expansions, but we are also going to keep the fast paced regular updates ten times a year. We are also working heavily on structures, and the guiding philosophy is that EVE should be a universe where the infrastructure (built by you fought over by you) is as player driven and dynamic as the EVE market is now. Intervowen into this comes a full revap of capital ships.

Read more about the roadmap in CCP Seagull's exciting blog Looking behind and looking ahead - an update from EVE Executive Producer CCP Seagull.

some sand some salt

Sounds good! Glad to read rapid smaller releases will still be taking places... Hybrids are the best

Thanks for the awesome work so far.
I hope to hear "the winter is coming" this year.

My apologies for using an alt, my main is about to lapse (temporally) within a few minutes and would hate losing a post like that.

My first reaction to the Rubicon plan was "but, what about those who would rather stay in the city than go looking for gold at the hills?"

As the details surfaced, it was obvious that CCP's stance was a big erect middle finger.

See, CCP Seagull. I am not playing this game to colonize nowhere. Never did for 7 years, and certainly that hasn't changed. Could go on and on about the reasons, but it all boils down to this: I don't want to build a sand castle in EVE. That would force me to fight over it in a forever PvP war. And I am not amused by PvP.

So, what's in the plans for people like me?

Why joining other players for PvE is in detriment of our game experience and rewards?

Why when new PvE content is added, it does so polluted with PvP? Or it's downright outside of high security space? Or when it's in highsec and does not involve PvP, the rewards are laughable?

What's going to happen in high security space? Will we ever be able to extend political tendrils among the NPC empires and influence them like the mighty demigods we are? Will the Empires be forced to ally with Capsuleers against hostile capsuleers?

NPC and PvE are completely devoid of the "EVE experience" of "enabling and generating". Is there any GOOD reason for that?

Why can't we insuflate our intelligence into the actions of NPCs, as chess players animate chess pieces?

Why, once all is weighted and measured, the only possible interaction among players in EVE is like cavemen with clubs and bludgeons?

Thank you CCP and CSM for listening to us.

Looking good!

Bringing back Epic expansions is a fantastic idea from a commercial perspective. The amount of attention and excitement they generated was huge as far as gaining new players.

I was reading it like there was really good news, and then I read citidels and it was done. I am happy with the next expansion.

I see industry stuff being expanded upon and then a space structure through the first part of your blog before I see citidels mentioned. I thought a mining revamp might be in there. Can I hope?


Edit: I haven't watched the video yet, just read the blog.

Delivering things across the universe so quickly was an issue, this makes the universe larger in a way by making you pay more attention to whats already around you. You also don't pay 10$ for some gems to bypass these timers. So it isn't for direct monetary gain.



You can't hold space if you don't use it, how is that not harder than before? Are you complaining about defending being too easy? or? I don't get your context.
