Looking forward to March 10... just a wee niggle: will there be an HTML version of the features page? Or at least a version with a typeface that isn't so small that it gives me a headache after 20 seconds?
There's plenty of room on the page for larger type: the Flash object only takes up about a third of the width of my monitor. (I use Firefox and I do know about Ctrl++... but the resulting enlargement is not crisp and it gets fiddly with that poorly designed little scroll bar being at the bottom of the flash object.)

There is this invention called 'glasses'. Been around since the late 1200's. Perhaps you have heard of it?  |

I am pretty excited for this but I do have to mention: they are calling this the biggest expansion that they have done. Are 1 type of modular cruiser for each race, graphics improvements (not quite on the scale of trinity), wormholes, and ui changes (the best feature of this expansion) really on par with something like Red Moon Rising (which glancing at the features page, introduced 23 new tech 2 ships, carriers, motherships, titans, character bloodlines, its own set of ui improvements, tractor beams, jump clones, production enhancements, and a lot of tweaking) which was considered "shy of deserving the title of "full" expansion"?

I have to admit, I'm impressed.
Way to breathe some new life into our addiction, CCP. |

Have any of you noticed where it says we're only going to get 3 out of the 5 subsystems? This makes me a Sad Panda.

No, it says 3 variations of the 5 subsystems... meaning that for each race, there will be 3 versions of the engineering, electronics, defense, offense, and propulsion subsystems (one such item might be Caldari Defensive Subsystem 2, for example)

We were originally promised 5 variations of each of the 5 subsystems, hence the often-touted figure of 12500 new ships [5x5x5x5x5[x4 races]]
With a 3x3x3x3x3x4 combo we get a comparatively meagre 972  -----

Sorry... haven't seen this topic before posting my own. But there's a reason why this page looks so good (my guess is 2advanced).

Originally by: CCP Atropos Mmm, I love that video.
Yes, because there are Caldari ships only, you'd not like it if it showed an ugly dominix or minmatar trash

Woo, exciting! I assume everyone can pick up the epic arc, even though it starts after player creation?
As others said, wouldn't hurt (it does now) to scale up the text on the feature page, my head is spinning.
Also, you better put that music ingame.

I knew from the moment they said "summer expansion will be released in march" that they were dreaming.
I was expecting either it to be delayed, or half the stuff would get cut.
One Arc for release is disappointing, but its good that they have focused on the NPE, especially with the box coming out.
For the first time im trying to set aside my personal wants for the expansion and consider the new players. OK so there is juicy stuff for existing players in this expansion, like t3, but my thoughts are with new players and i'll drink a pint of beer to CCP's success with this.
(but this is only a temporary reprive, ill be demanding MOAR for WiS )

What are you talking about, most stuff for this expansion also applies to old players: ui changes, graphics & sounds, neural remapping, skill queue, new probing system (I think it's not mentioned on the feature page? is not making it!?) and specially all the stuff revollving around t3 & wormholes which are the central features of the expansion.
My "only" worry is we end up with a new account on CCP track history of 'half done feature not finished': T3 is not worth it as it is right now, the industry around it could end like the boosters disaster, and the T3 ships like an other black ops or stealth bombers, "useless" ships prenerfed to hell which will cost a bazillion isks. On sleepers work done is decent but could get better I guess, a lot of work to do on that front (npcs using the same stats of players? bvarious tactics and fits? etc.). I won't whine on the epic arc stuff as it hasn't even been released, I just hope they can add new missions (and phase out gradually old stuff, ffs) with some taste of new 'AI' without having to wait for major patches each 6 months.
I wouldn't have problems with that if they would revisit it in a following patch asap (apoc 1.1, 1.2, and whichever patches are needed) but CCP has a history of attention span over their features of a 2 years old kid: factional warfare, sov warfare, endless stuff on the UI front and new additions to corp/alliance/market/S&I interfaces, mining & industry stuff, umerous balancing minor stuff and general disasters like minnies split weapon systems or blackops, and I could go on and on.
So yes, new stuff is wellcome but don't leave us with half-assed features, plz?

My point was not that the type it is out of focus, but rather that it is too small for comfortable reading.
Sometimes making a typeface small serves an important functional goal (e.g., to cram a lot of UI data onto the screen). However, the features page expressly wastes most of my screen 'real estate' (by choosing to display only a small Flash object), so that's apparently not an operative concern in this case. So it seems that the small typeface is simply an aesthetic choice. I assume it is not the intent of EVE's designers to make that website hard to use, so I do but suggest an improvement.

So much hype, so much in the Iceland meeting, and now this. It's like...unacceptable? very low.
it's 80 missions long and has like 30 endings.
als this mean the system is done and more can be made.
got to make that m10 date for the box.
Yeah but the funny thing is, there was one specific team working on just the missions.. If i was Torifrans i'd have fired them by now.. They work as long as the other teams, and all they manage to produce is 1 single epic arc? While the other teams managed new fitting windows/functionality/importing-exporting, new t3 ships and modular stuff, wormholespace with 2499 new systems, new effects for all weapons and modules..
And then the mission team comes there. "Oh hai... We have 1 mission arc for new players." Yeah, well worth their salary. Lazy bums! /rant

Any chance one of the new features is a fix for the memory leak introduced in QR?
