CCP Spitfire, can you tell us when the present planning phase will be done? I ask because I have been involved with a RP thing with CCP Dropbear, who has been missing for several weeks. I assume he is missing because the planning is not done, and he wants to fit the RP stuff into what is planned for the expansion. So I hope he will return once the planning is done. Any idea when that will be?

The winter expansion is where they reveal that Eve Sov conflict is primarily influenced by what a bunch of console gamers feel like doing that evening.

Personally speaking, the only thing I want this expansion is a mass fix to most of the games current problems. I'd take that over new content any day. Besides, the last couple of expansions didn't really come with much if any game content anyways. We got a carrier that looks like a turd and CQ which is so incredibly annoying and useless.

Well I understand that you can't give us the expansion right now, and I even understand that you can't tell us exactly when the expansion will be but I'm not so clear on why you can't tell us when you'll tell us when the expansion will be...


We are still in the planning stage, so unfortunately I can't give you a firm date on either. As far as the expansion release date is concerned, to the best of my knowledge we are looking at some point after Thanksgiving. Please note that this is not set in stone and may change. As for the release of more information on the expansion, the planning process affects it heavily, so I can't even give an estimate.



Disappointing that you're still at such an early stage, but thanks for at least being up front about it.

OMG! Waiting sucks, how else can I spend my time trolling the forums?

Thanks for the update, Spitfire.


I think your question already includes the answer to it. Smile Of course, trolling the forums is against the rules and may result in some not-so-very-nice things, so I would personally advice against that.


Of course, and I leave the trolling to the pros. Its far more entertaining to watch the banhammer come down on trolls than it is to be the troll.


What are you talking about? CCP are the pros.

Please keep your thumbs wherever they are, do NOT "release something". Take your time and release something stable.
I think there are enough MMOs around releasing "something" just to please the playerbase.

Again, can't give any exact dates at this point, but I'll make sure to ask him.

Not that I personally agree with your assessment of Revenant, but point taken.

All jokes aside, I'm concerned about the discussed "redistribution" of resources and the complete lack of discussion with the community regarding the overall effects this could have. Our hole has had one grav site in well over a month. Any removals would be painful without a suitable enough boost elsewhere. Moving ice out of high sec... you'll be ringing the death bells of many high sec and wormhole pos's if you do that due to the spike ice fuels will experience in cost. Like I've said before, taking the sand out of someone's sandbox won't make them play in someone else's sandbox. They'll just leave their empty box and go home.


Good point. We will try to make sure that there is ample time for discussion and feedback on any such changes.

On this issue at least there has been quite a good discussion and from what I hear the stance on completely removing stuff have softened clearly.

The Revenant doesn't look that hot I must agree, then again, its a Sansha ship and I don't like most sansha ships. This one is clearly based on Jove tech due to the organic nature of its looks so I guess it fits with the IP.

Now, a note on communciation, I don't know why suddenly everybody from CCP is pooring information into the forums but I like it, alot. Torifrans, Shadow, Guard, Spitfire, Fallout, etc. Keep it up (and don't forget the devblogs) I like everything I have been hearing today.

Because some say we did a rather poor job on this recently, and that's not a good thing (god, that was a horrible pun; please do not take offense Smile).

Great - more info on FW is required though (I did see the post by CCP Guard, but the FW community wants some details after waiting for a response since just after fanfest...)

I hope we will soon hear about the other CQ and multiplayer incarna plans. Almost three month silence about that now.

Thank you, I really can't ask for anything more at this point and appreciate it.

Just a quick point that I hope you see... I've read from some people (primarily on the side of removing WH resources and shipping them to null) that wormholes were never meant to be inhabited for any length of time initially. I don't know if this is true or not, but if so, I hope you all are capable of stepping back from that initial conception of wormholes and take a good look at what they've evolved into now. There are corporations and alliances that solely exist in wormholes. You've created an area of the game with greater challenges than null (and to degrees greater rewards for those challenges) and there's a certain group of folks that have embraced those challenges and are thriving under them. You have a second type of null here, an alternate "endgame" if you would, that is thriving on smaller fleet combats, where smaller ships still have significant roles, where people can live in the frontier of the game in independent or small groups and still thrive, where the PvE can still kick your ass if you're not careful, ... step back and look... it's freakin' beautiful. It's as close to the perfect null area as exists in the game. If the intent was to not have people live there on a permanent basis, instead of trying to move to the future with that in mind, accept and embrace what the community has done there. Accept that it's just as significant, even if on a smaller scale, as empire null with regards to an endgame environment. When you think of ways to get more people into null, include Anoikis as a part of null and not an area to discourage growth in, yet also try not to lose the frontier aspect and smaller scale that thrives there.

Spitfire... you pretty well got wormholes right at the heart and soul level. Let it thrive.

Six months in the hole... it changes a man.
