EVE General Discussion

Sov, 0.0, building stargates, capturing and conquering gates and general focus on fixing 0.0 thanks Malc checks in the mail

tech 3 frigates

updates to factions and dust

they're going to release 50 more moons in goons space

they will release HD textures to improve the graphics

asteroids are getting different textures

they're adding a new race to the game that lets you start off as a pirate from the beginning, focusing on pirate things like saying yarr a lot of and sitting next to a gate for 10 hours killing random rifters.

mintchiplol special edition ship full of scum, literally you open the cargo and you have special edition slaves.

Incursion payouts are being increased, also they're adding a new line of pay to win ships for the free to play model which is launching on PlayStation 4, expect the announcement of a Playstation 4 eve online client.

The next expansion will be focused on v3ing various assets, DUST 514 and explaining what they
plan to do about Captains quarters.

[hopefully something to do with pos's]

We had that. It's called w-space. But CCP just added instant intel almost as bad as local. No fog of war for you!

I think next expansion won't be something special and adding new stuff, just rebalance, and some changes to null, industry.

Look that ring mining won't be this year (or maybe even never...), POS redone 99% sure not this year etc. nothing big and new in this year

But what i want?:
- hd textures
- pos redone
- ring mining
- redone drones
- redone pve content (missions, incursions etc)
- true exploration
- industry love
- customizable ship skins
- WiS

Well, cloaking is my current crusade, so I'd like to see that get dealt with.

I'd like to see some of the existing UI features get cleaned up, honestly. "Improved ship type icons" on the overview and brackets would be nice. Overview filters. A more compact HUD. A better drone UI (and by that I mean A Drone UI).

Tiercide is perpetually interesting and desirable. I'm interested in what they're planning to do with industrial ships, even if I can't think of many interesting things that can be done with haulers.

I'd like to see more old mechanics redone. PI given complexity. Loot spew applied to salvaging instead of exploration. The entire intel system I feel needs an overhaul, but that's a big undertaking, so I doubt I'll see anything but minor tweaks on that front. Smaller versions of the inferno modules. Not sure what else. Oh, Mining. Yeah, I'd like to see mining get an overhaul. But that really is a pie-in-the-sky kind of thing.

I don't know. I'm looking forward to the coming months and intermediate patches. I'm sure it'll all be interesting.

Whatever the content and direction of the next expansion, folk will complain about it - Eve is dying etc.

I would like the whole of the UI reworked - there are some great proposals that have been put forward by players, CCP should pick up on them and use them as a starting point for a better more intuitive UI.

Probably focus on nothing, as has every eve expansion since Incursions. Dominion...that was a real expansion. These expansions? Just rebalancing, often poorly done, and 'improvements' that are effectively just rectifying their mistakes. Perhaps they'll nerf amarr some more, as they have been recently for no apparent reason, as they are the weakest race, basically forcing all decent pilots into sansha ships and the gnosis. Maybe they'll continue to skirt around the fact that the scanning system is inherently broken, and just release new graphics updates for it.

I don't know when they think it became acceptable for an expansion to be reduced from an actual expansion to a hacking minigame, but hey, whatever. Maybe they'll realise it isn't - Maybe they'll realise they're forcing amarr into the ground, enabling their use only in tactical niches such as neuting (Which is nowhere near as useful as eccm bonuses, E-WAR/disruptor range/web range bonuses or mwd bonuses, don't lie); But i'm not hopeful.

EDIT - and the fact they think DUST 514 is anything more than another minigame for eve players is a bit of a joke. I actually really want it to be a major part of eve, I honestly do, but they'll have to make some massive changes for any players to bat an eyelid to seriously consider it as part of their eve experience.

Nerf all forms of ECM

its not just building stargates, its about building anything... Thats what CCP Seagull was talking about all the time.
