Who ever thought that it would be me that would post a question in here instead of an answer.
Well, short story time:
About end of November / start of December last year, this thing called "Real life" kicked me right in the balls. Personal things happened which made me leave EVE, something I had been considering a while already as the people who knew me gathered.
Well, luckily personal things pass eventually, but then there was this new job I got, so have to put in time and effort there a bit more. Now that I got sorted, time to dive back into the frenzy with you guys and the spaceships.
But, I feel lost. Could you guys all help me with these simple question. Just to get me back on my feets and assisting others again.
Q:
* What did I miss in terms of expansions (hell this would have been easier in the old days with 2 releases a year)? * What did I miss in terms of meta-gaming (any big changes on the playing field)? * What are the biggest shifts in EVE in terms of alliances/coalitions and the FotM ships?
* Did you guys miss me ?

Hey! :D
.... how come I didn't post a "welcome me back" thread ? Pfff...
I identify as Sol-kin and I oppose all WiSgender because the white priviledged spacists just want to oppress me with their Avatariarchy. Once the carebears are eradicated, I will stand before them, screaming...
THE GAME ! (:
You lost... :)

Expansions:
- Major changes to nullsec, specifically a nerf to capital ship mobility and sov capture mechanics - Iterations on lots of stuff
Meta:
- CFC renamed Imperium, have gone from first among equals last year to dominant in null - FotM shifted away from drones and N+1 carriers and is somewhat healthy now, except the Tactical Destroyers are OP. - Read up on the recent introduction of Command Destroyers, they will shake the meta further

Welcome back.
This page gives a general overview of what the new expansions have brought us.

Hics infiniscram now.
Tora went all Howard Hughes and booted all the hub humpers out of marmite,
we all forsaw hilarious failure.
What we actually got were Russians on the undocks , Marmites acting suspiciously like they're hunting in what looked suspiciously like doctrins And holysheet 1 publicly bellowing forlorn curses at tora like a shunned gin-soaked house wife.
Forsaken folded though are back open for business literally this week (they've a sale on war's right now). Black legion folded . Persuit of happiness is basically just saeger now. Belligerent undesirables are back - the monk Feyd is in pl (weal took over lords and is doing rather well)
Hyperdunking got nerfed Wardecs seem to be the pet gripe this season
Brain in a box happened, tq has been a little squirrely since but it's worth it. Gfx getting better, Bears getting whinier
Pretty much healthy and normal shenanigans all round from what I've seen.
Better the Devil you know.

Hey J'Poll. I just came back to eve too. It was nice to see Sabrize, Shawfluffers and a few other still around. So great to see you too!
Someone linked this a page or so down. Apparently Eve now has a shiny page to help returning players quickly review the updates. I spent a few days reading backwards.
http://updates.eveonline.com/
I really liked the format. Instead of reading WoT patch notes, each major change is presented with a picture.
I just want to get a plex as fast as i can so i dont have to worry about resubbing, 15 dollars is Cat litter and Food for my cat, or 2 Grams of Weed, i'd rather spend it on that then on this game--Rogue Mime

Paranoid Loyd and Tau Cabalander linked it for me. Well technically they linked for someone else's I'm back thread, and I purloined the link because it applied. There always seems to be at least 1 I'm back thread within the first 3 pages of NQ&A.
Yea, it's a keeper for anyone else returning.

J'POLL!!!
*backhand slaps*
Never, ever leave us again! I had to pick up your angsty slack. And I didn't enjoy it! (okay, I enjoyed it a little bit).

Outside of rare exceptions, they outclass Assault Frigates. Some, like the Svipul and Hecate are downright broken good. - Tech 2 Command Destroyers were recently introduced. They are fast, can support 1 Warfare Link, and have the added ability to use an AoE MicroJumpdrive... which teleports everything within a given area 100km in the direction of the Destroyer's choosing. Affects friendlies, hostiles, and deployable items. - New graphics. Pop over to an asteroid belt with graphics on medium or better. You'll feel like you are actually in space. - Brain-in-a-box was implemented. This means that grid sizes have been extended to ~8000+ km (yes, you can see everything in that grid on the overview) and Off-Grid links might be getting shut down soon.
I crossed off two of them because I can't answer them.

J'Poll, we should organise a roam sometime with lots of the people that answer questions regularly in NCQ&A.

I'm in for that.
You have considerable in-game resources right?
Can you buy 20 budget meta cruisers and/or frigs, and start giving them out to newbies that want to spend their Xmas eve (if they are in my timezone) or their 23rd of December flying around with some of us tutor types?
I may be able to get us some organised opponents too. I wouldn't be surprised if people from CODE. and/or Marmite are interested in being involved (either with us or against us).
If you need ISK to fund free ships for newbs that want to roam let me know (I'm under the impression you are worth a few tens of billions of ISK, maybe a hundred, if this is wrong speak up and I can throw you some ISK to fund it)
Edit: Am open to FCing but in that case I probably shouldn't speak to friends about being on the other side. If I'm FCing, I know Loyalanon will definitely headshot me :)

Come up with a doctrine that can be trained into in a few hours (main thing is, either all shields or all armor). I can fly something to assist either (probably a command ship). Go with meta 3 as the default and assume low skills.
If you need ISK to cover costs let me know.
