I have been playing EVE for almost 6 years now (just 3 months to go until that anniversary).
It has been 3 years since there was something new to do in a spaceship. More than half my EVE "life" has been since the Apocrypha expansion was released.
I'm not going to rehash the ~mistakes were made~ period of Dominion - Incarna. I am most definitely not going to complain that CCP has committed a year's worth of development effort - desperately needed, long overdue, hugely welcome - on what has essentially been a massive polishing and detail-work project. It was unquestionably the right thing to do, and I'm glad they did it.
The new battlecruisers are fantastic - I love all of them. The tiercide project is revolutionising T1 frigates, which is so obviously a good thing I can hardly think of it without tears coming to my eyes - and I'm totally looking forward to seeing what happens when the project is extended to the T1 cruiser range. You've made EVE beautiful with the new nebulae and with the V3 project. You've even pretty much "fixed lag", for God's sake! How awesome is that? That stuff is all brilliant and I love it. I have even learned to get along with the new inventory thingamujig, after some practice.
But three years, guys.
For my 6th EVE birthday present, what I'd really really like is for you to tell me that there are going to be new things to do coming to EVE. You've been doing a fantastic job of improving EVE; now I want to see you expanding it.

Technically, this is a begging thread, not a whinethread. Doubtless the fine gentlemen of ISD will lock it as such any moment now. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

New things such as?
Revamped ship stats make the new ships, new destroyers will be added, Tier 3 BCs weren't so long ago, modular poses are planned etc...
TBH, there is still so much to change*cough*sov-mechanics*cough* I'm a little scared of CCP adding entirely new things on top of that - they may release some crap like incursions again - doing some half assed wow-raid pve where they don't even have the ressources to make new skins for the new NPCs and add ludicrous rewards to it so farmers jump on it and ccp can call it a success because many people are doing them for the money. You know... morons. |

Bounty hunting as a viable career in EVE would actually be a "new thing to do", because it has never been a viable career in EVE. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

I agree completely, but I think they're on the roadmap to it.
Half the time you quoted they were WiS focussed, and working on CARBON, so it's really only been 6-9months of spaceships content so far.
The focus at the moment is iterations, and I'm sure niche gameplay will come from that even before they look at a next Apocrypha style development. - "Do not touch anything unnecessarily.

9 years and counting, not that many for this toon mind you. Create your own content. Man up in 6 years you should know how. Strength isnt measured in numbers but in force of will. For if one motived willful individual stands many will fall around him that are weak.

Honestly, I think the ship rebalancing alone will accomplish this.
Ideally, it's going to go from "what's the best ship in this class" to "what do I feel like flying today". Occasionally plays sober |

Yeah - read one of you suggestions on a new spece-type I really liked, but current mechanics need tons of work and I'd rather hope for CCP to fix these than just adding new ones.
I hated pre-dominion sov warfare with a passion, but with dominion, they made it a lot worse. I'd love to live in nullsec again, but under current mechanics, I just can't take it. They should fix existing space before adding new one.
A quick shot at ring/comet/ mining or tech alchemy would improve the current situation a lot though. You know... morons. |

-Advanced mining with required multi-tasking and activity with great rewards would be cool. -A advanced bounty hunter contract - and marketplace with new tracking tools would be nice. -Dust players boarding stations and ships with combat areas would be neat. -Greater NPC trafic (cargo ships, freighters) around stations and trade routes would be cool (NPC haulers) giving real pirate players new targets. -Dangersous elements in space such as electric clouds and black holes leading to death. - I support OP, I think new ideas never is a bad thing.

There was talk a while back about anoms and missions being revamped to have a several hard to kill cooperating ships, instead of a mass of easy to kill ships. this should add a new element.
What i fantasize about, is "FIS" flying in space. eve would go to a new level if i could fly an assault ship with a joy stick. omg, i would **** in my pants over flying in space

It will help, but I guess what I'm after is a shot of that "great unknown" feeling. Making the Eagle a viable ship will be a great and noble deed, but it won't change the route from G-0 to to HED-GP
I guess this is why, despite the two black eyes and the sleeping with my sister thing, I still love the WiS project and think that I have a future with it. It's the biggest potential opportunity for new things to do.
EDIT: I suppose what I'm saying is that while I love the new "actually fixing things" CCP, I also miss the "crazy icelandic ambition" CCP just a little.

When I was a boy there was a promise by all the vissionaries we'd be living in space by now. I'm kind of thinking as I'm getting on in life that those aspirations are very unlikley for myself.
Luckily we have a few billion years left before the suncream wont really help with our Sun or Andromeda crashes into the Milky way, so hopefully someone will work out the science that does something to propell the possibility of the human race continuing somewhere out there. Though ultimatley with the model of universe expansion as is currently understood by science we are all ultimatley doomed to low energy particles it seems, so you could ask why bother?
Either way CCP have shown they are capable of putting small rodents into space, so at least they are using the monies we give them to help propell the longevity of our species. Maybe this is more important in the bigger picture, a buisness plan that at least considers the long term effects to subscription payments?

I'd love to see something done to lowsec space, so there is actually a reason to go there, rather than it being a nuisance on the way to 0.0.
Also making mining an active activity rather than passive AFK sleepover on a belt would be nice to see. > Implying I need a signature |
