Here is a brief topical summary of upcoming changes CCP has announced or mentioned in the past few months:
Mechanical changes:
1. New ships: 3rd tier battlecruisers with oversized guns, with the first significant (read: non-supercap) new combat ship hull models added to the game since 3rd tier BATTLESHIPS back in Revelations I in late 2006 (even before overheating!)
2. New T2 modules (specifics unannounced!)
3. Adjustments to Assault Frigate bonuses and hybrid weapons
4. Adjustments and balancing to capitals and super-capitals (exact changes to fighter drones seem not to be set in stone)
5. Time dialation: Maybe not so much lag now (lol lag is becoming a feature GÖÑ)
6. Something about starbase logistics management (specifics unannounced!)
7. Something with Faction Warfare (specifics unannounced!)
8. Something with new EWAR drones (specifics unannounced!)
9. Something about T2 rigs manufacturing (specifics unannounced! possibly t1->t2 salvage conversion)
10. Player-deployed Customs Offices for P.I.
11. Possibly more ongoing changes coming to Nullsec and sovereignty dynamics (as discussed in August), possibly related to #6
Cosmetic & Metagame changes:
12. Implants on pod killmails
13. *Ship Spinning(*already out!)
14. New font
15. New nebulae backgrounds
16. New captains' quarters, one for each race now
17. The glorious return of Engine Trails!
18. Some petition changes (categories for Stuck Character, additional details to be announced)
I don't know about you guys, but I look forward to reading text clearly, while looking at engine trails streaming behind my torpedo-Drake in front of a gorgeous new background, while blowing up pods and customs offices in slow motion. |

Thanks mate!
I'd like to keep updating this post with links and summaries. This will occur sometime after I reawaken. |

- all NEx items listed on the market now fully accesible, plus all prices down by 75% so you can start your own fashion wardrobe
- devblog: Incarna to be released 2012 better than your wildest dreams: go meet the dust bunnies in style!
- devblog: casual? Soloer? PvE? We got love for you! And features & gameplay & shiny!
(Back to reality)
See my signature.
So... no NEx store... no Incarna... no casual content... no solo content... no PvE content...
Why should I keep paying to play this game? |

I guess T3 ships are not combat ships 
But yes, I do agree that CCP is making some great changes in the winter expansion. I just hope they take their time and don't release half finished stuff.

so will miners get any reprieve to help counter the new suicide ganker ship griefers are getting?
not that i really care for afk miners but if they cant mine without being ganked all the time, im sure alot will drop their subs for that account(s) which will only serve to hurt Eve online as a whole due to less revenue and more staff layoffs.

They should, but they won't.
Goons like ruining games, Goons run CSM, CSM tells CCP that Eve needs more mayhem in it, CCP creates the ultimate suicide gank weapon, game potentially in trouble if this ship class is as effective as suggested.
Really, no correlation there at all.

As per this post, the above quoted parts are in development. We will conduct extensive perfromance testing to ensure that these two assets do not add extra strain to players computers.

Actually if I remember correctly, I do believe the 2nd battlecruiser for each race was in the very same patch with the tier 3 battleships. You know, back when the Caldari were stuck with the Ferox as their only bc?
In any sense, it's fitting that we will see yet another BC. Though I have always wished we would see the hurricane hull used for some new class of tech 2 battlecruisers. ;) But I guess that isn't all that likely. |

They are not turning "lag" into a feature. They are featuring a feature that is aimed at dealing with lag.
There's a difference....

Equalizing lag for everyone, essentially.
It's a fool who thinks lag can ever be eliminated completely. This makes the playing field fair for all those involved. |

You'd best be trolling. Suicide ganking doesn't have a very large effect on miner subscription rate, nor could suicide ganking become that prevalent, nor will the new ships necessarily be any better for suiciding. If anything they will be about as effective but cost significantly more.
They are far more likely to just end up doing what they were meant to, which is provide a much more solid and currently absent stepping stone between Cruisers and Battleships, which can only help the new player experience (a couple weeks or more into the game of course).

Correctus, I believe that was mentioned as coming this expansion. Adding it to the list.

That's a good point, you're right. And yes, I myself am being a **** and hoping for T2 hurricanes along the lines of "Admiral Ships" (prerequisite: Command Ships V) with 8 guns, a strong tank, and double damage bonus.
I really do hope that CCP finds a niche to fill with some more T2 Battlecruisers in the future though. |

I know, I was just poking fun at CCP. It's a fantastic idea, and in a game that is as technologically impossible to serve as EVE I believe CCP does a fantastic job in that 1000 man fleet fights work at all. This incredibly difficult to achieve.

D'oh! Good call sir. I didn't even think of them, they are all so weird and lumpy looking. Like Vogon Deconstructer ships. You could say that they are the first outright designed ship models, since T3s are just a bunch of parts designed to sort of go together...

My goodness you people are incessant whiners. That is just sad.
As I have been taught and had reinforced in my head countless times over the last two years, "content" in EVE is not what CCP makes for you to do once or twice. That's what Blizzard does. If you want that, then I am dead serious -- go play WoW. That's what that whole game is about. In EVE, "Content" is when you go out and get a fight out of some actual players. The great news is, you can do this to absolutely anyone who plays the game! We're all on one server here! So quit mucking up my day with your sickening whinering and man up.
Plus, CCP did mention in the past that they have a small team dedicated to ongoing content creation in new expansions, largely focused on fleshing out the deadspace complexes for each pirate faction from 1/10 to 10/10 and making sure that all deadspace modules drop somewhere in the game. I don't know if they already finished this with the last release (B-Type EANMs are available now, etc.), but even if they did I highly doubt you've run them all. Please be quiet. |

T3's are just multi-role ships that cost at least 4x as much as any other role-ship its supposed to be filling in for.

bullcrap........... for one thing and even by goon's own admission the new tier 3 bc will be way better to suicide gank in.
why?
1. less cost than a bs yet same dps (tank doesnt matter a **** for suicide gankers)
2. it will fit inside an orca so easy to warp a nuetral orca on top of a miner along with the suicide ganker in a pod and pull the tier3 bc out and gank the miner
3. a bc locks alot faster than a bs does
4. a bc moves alot faster than a bs does
look at how many miners are mining in gallente and caldari space right now...............a lot lot less than it was before goons started the ganking

Calm the hell down mate.
From the looks of it, the Tornado will have 6 turrets -- probably with a rate of fire bonus, not a damage bonus -- so chances are it won't have super great alpha. A Brutix or autocannon Hurricane will probably still be able to do more damage in a single gank.
Honestly, who knows how this is going to turn out. You're already assuming that all these things will make the new 3T BCs the perfect ganking ships ("less cost than a bs yet same dps") and lamenting that EVE will be over and all the miners will quit. Please get real.
Plus, miners don't actually have that big an effect on the global economy anyway, not nearly as much as you'd think. The majority of minerals used in production come from reprocessed mission loot right now. |
