To try to explain what happened during the FanFest is a daunting task, so much so that information overload would be an understatement. Oveur was up to the challenge and has written one of his longest Dev Blogs to date.
A Wedding Proposal (video and pictures to be provided later), the EVE Championships, Carriers, Motherships, Titans, Red Moon Rising (the next major content update), Kali, the China partnership, and much, much more are contained in this blog.

With all the information in the blog, there are a lot of discussion topics. Please keep the replies to the Blog and in this thread constructive. Do notflame or rant. Some players may not agree with the developmental paths that CCP is taking with RMR, Kali, or Serenity, and we welcome discussion.
However, replies such as, "You're a bunch of ^*%@tards for doing <feature, expansion, etc.> will be deleted and a warning issued. These are big changes, major moves and all have been given much thought, discussion, planning and worry before moving forward. We are doing what we feel is the best for Tranquility, EVE and its players.

Whats the spread of npcs going to be like with the additions of dreads, battlecruisers and destroyers?
Obviously dread spawns will be 0.0 only but what sec status are destroyers and battlecruisers going to be present in?

about NPC changes, what NPCs, mission NPCs or normal belt rats?
so if I can barely do lvl3 missions, I cannot handle them anymore with the new RMR?

The NPC changes are detailed in an earlier blog by TomB, look it up
I'm going to amalgate my questions:
-I take it Carriers will fit large turrets?
-Will the Jovian Mothership's name be changed?
-If ship subsystem destruction is implemented,w ill you be able to do that to NPCs, and will NPCs be able to do it to you?
-What would be the time frame on the China cluster going up? Serenity is a nice name, BTW.
How will you handle time-on laws? Missions like the Angel Extravaganza are going to be tough for players to finish within one 'online period'.
and my original comment:
Holy crap awesome!!!

Very nice name picked for the Chinese shard ^^
One concern... with the possibility of 'even moderately succesful' Chinese version outnumbering the 'rest of world' version like 70:30 or more, and with the need for all content to be localized... how likely it is for the content development to become focused on the Chinese version first, and then possibly being translated for what becomes 'that other, less profitable server', x months down the road..?

All looks good especially the next gen manufacturing stuff, been waiting far to long for my zealot.
also like the idea of covert ops cruisers coming ingame, time to give my electronics skills some love. It all looks very exciting.

Oveur: Quote:
The term "mothership" is just something else than "big carrier", no connection to the Jove mothership. Carriers do not have turrets slots. It's offensive capabilities is X-Large fighters. Might have a launcher slot tho but I doubt it. Build cost of the standard ones is in the same ballpark as the Dreads, probably cheaper, we haven't decided yet. Targeting ship sub-systems is a far away, but I'd want it to apply to both player and NPC's otherwise it doesn't make sense. If it in general is feasible and requires little load, it shouldn't necessarily mean the that it woulc dost more for NPC's to do it. There is no ETA on Serenity, we're in partner negotation so it does not exist yet.
:D :D

My thoughts exactly. 
Good read though, some cool stuff to come.

It was said during the fan fest that the flag would alow the owner of the can to fire on the person who took from the can. This will NOT spawn concord, it will only alow you to take action against a theif. Ofc you have mining lasers mounted so good luck, but it¦s a step in the right direction.

I was worrying about that, but the Devs in Iceland own EVE, and they don¦t speak Chinese so I think we¦re good.
I am scared that the Buying of in game items will need lots of coding and that CCP iceland Devs will have to work on it rather than CCP Shanghi Devs.
One thing I did get from the Fanfest was CCP loves this game, they want to make it work and understand the problems like we do. We just have to trust they won¦t screw us over and I¦m not worrying about that after meeting them.

"I was worrying about that, but the Devs in Iceland own EVE, and they don¦t speak Chinese so I think we¦re good."
Well, am mainly wondering if it doesn't become more practical to simply form secondary team based in China, that'd be focused on making things like these COSMOS constellations and NPC missions (since this is where main part of dialogues and whatnot occurs) ... that way they can get large amounts of inexpensive content that doesn't require extra work with english->chinese translation, but at the same time Tranquility gets rather screwed in such process... since there's far less incentive to run the chinese->english content translation than it'd be to do it the other way around, due to projected disparity in numbers o.O;

Yes, probably. but I'm nor sure why you would want to shoot your corp/mining mates unless its a sick trap

Good job on quietly adding that bit at the bottom of "no planetary flight.".Yet another broken promise.
Everyone wants to see Tier 3 battleships, so instead os saying you'd like to see them, why don't you focus more attention on getting them in for Red Moon Rising?
Fair blog overall, although some of it petrifies me.

So RMR is the next buzz word...
It looks like boosters will come in soon(TM) and we will finaly have cariers, titans, super weapons and a more tatical game. (I can see the hundreds of posts whining to put it all back the way it was before already  )
I like the idea's and I love the plan to have the China server the same as Tranquility. Makes for more devs and more juicy posts about all the cool stuff comming soon(TM)
CCP I just want to say I love you guys.
