Hi

One of the things that always enriched player experience and was a big draw for new players were nicely done cinematic trailers for EVE. Even when I wasn't a EVE player, I still was waiting for each CCP cinematic. Probably there was not a single EVE player that was left indifferent after the Dominion trailer, or Apocrypha one. With introduction of Incarna it became possible to enhance already nice EVE trailers with human animations.

So the suggestion would be - more EVE cinamatics from CCP! And not only dedicated to launch of expansions. Make people drool over the wonders of EVE again! Invite new players with astonishing battles videos, EVE lore and mystery.

I think having cinematics for epic missions perhaps would be a good idea but that's something to aim for in the long run, cinematic trailers like what CCP show take months to create depending on how much new models they have to make and how detailed they want it to be and there's far more annoying issues that need fixing right now as well as what direction CCP actually want to go in with this game.
