expansion? what expansion? this is a collection of failed features, that your customers didnt want. the biggest of which, u couldnt even get out of the door on time. so disappointing. u should thank your lucky stars, u dont have a real competitor...
but anyway, on to the list:
1. Eve-gate = useless. who wants this facebook type thing? have u conducted any customer requirements capture exercise? did we say we wanted this crap instead of fixing lag / bugs?
2. Calendar - well developed feature, but why? because this function has come so late, many of us already have solutions for organising. fleet finder was an awesome feature as we had nothing like it before, but this feature is useless, other than to advertise your own 'events' so they dont fail so hard.
3. Contacts - no way of creating folders, which is fail. each contact (of which i have hundreds), now need to be individually managed... great. hours of 'gameplay'
4. Right aligned distance - why? i mean seriously... what the hell was the need to change this? who wanted this? CCP or your customers?
5. 2600 corp contact limit - only good 'feature' so far, and we got this only after massive protest...
6. the new 'sun' - i wonder what kind of feedback you'd have got from sisi if u let this one out early? do you consider this a graphical improvement? i dont - its a irregular semi-transparent sphere (u can see the texture pinch at the top & bottom), with some kind of streaky rings of light surrounding it. what happened to the old one? did u need to change this to reduce lag or something else critical to gameplay?
7. deep safes - a complex issue, which i think people would have been happy with, had you fixed fleet lag
8. insurance changes - ill be looking closely at the financial report, to see how its affected the markets/players behaviour
9. scorp model = win. love it. you have now set the bar pretty damn high, for any other model changes u plan to make... good luck.
i look forward to see how you take the feedback from everyone & the csm, on this expansion, and what you deliver on the next.

1) A lot of people want it; the feedback I have heard so far is that more people like it that dis-like it. I agree, they should concentrate on fixing stuff rather than bringing in new stuff though
2) Calendar, awesome. I have been wanting a calendar for years - finally it has come
3) Contact system is better; however it does need groups and also folders
4) Right aligned distance makes more sense; its easier to distinguish between meters and km this way. They could have added an option to toggle it though - but if they added toggles for everything, we would just have too many toggles
5) yep yep
6) Dont care tbh
7) You are 100% correct
8) I like the fact that t1 ships now come with some risk. However, to better protect newer players I would prefer that the security status of the system you lose the ship in, or if you are in a war-dec affected insurance. If EVE was real, and we had real insurance companies, they would take these things into account. Insurance deals would come with clauses whereby if you lost the ship in 0.0 space, or you insured it while you were at war you would receive less return
9) yep yep
