FW fixes, bug fixes, PROPER rebalancing of HACs...

Oh wait... you were asking what WOULD be in it. Sorry, my bad.

Dream with me here...

Think about space colonization.
Think about the space scale construction required to make it happen.
Think about building things.
Think about destroying things.
Think about the rise of the capsuleers, taking over what the empires used to control.

Imagine what you want to build in Eve Online, from missiles to an empire.
Imagine your corporation flying its own colours.
Imagine the might of your alliance, used to build up whole areas of space.

Think about raiding and stealing from your enemies.
Think about all of the opportunities for crafty capsuleers to make money and fame in this new era of colonization.
Think about home, and what that means to you.

And then imagine what could lie beyond the known, if only you could construct the right kind of Stargate.

Personally I thought CCP Seagull did an absolutely fantastic job.

emo speech - check G£ô

but wait... aren't those things in EVE already?!?! what exactly is new there?

as already said in this thread - words are just that.. WORDS. it's the actions that make the difference.

I am on stitches, will they give me a 36% discount again? Or will they go full 50%?

Next expansion will be called "Excavation". CCP will promise to add vast amounts of mining-related content, but in the end all they will do is add the hacking minigame to mining.

I very dearly hope that the next expansion includes a new playable race: The Genetically Modified Slaver Hound Capsuleer. With the technology available and the ability to swap one's mind around, there's really no reason why we can't do this.

I would pay serious money to have this capability. Let me be a Slaver Hound!

Boulder dash style?

My opinion is that I (unlike a lot of people in this thread it seems)

ACTUALLY ENJOY PLAYING THE GAME!

I don't play in the expectation that in 6 months something new is going to come and keep me interested.


I've been playing for 4 years and I still haven't experienced everything to be done in this game that's already in here.

As long as they don't break EVE, I am more than happy for CCP to do whatever they feel is best for the game. Whether large content increases or desperately needed balancing iterations or just code fixing.


The game is good. I play it and love it.

The good thing about games like star citizen is that if they deliver on what they promise it'll put pressure of CCP to start delivering on its visions, or risk being left behind.

You shouldn't really compare EVE expansions directly to the exapnsions of other MMOs, which usually offer one expansion every 2-3 years. If you look at how much has changed in the last 2 years, I think that the total holds up pretty well against any other game expansion you care to name.

If all you want is a massive changelog, then sure I guess CCP could have held all the development work for Crucible, Inferno and Retribution back and released it all with the Odyssey changes this April. Do you think that would be a better release model? I'd far rather have 25% now, another 25% in 6 months, another 25% 6 months after that and the rest 6 months after that than have to wait 2 years for the whole lot at once just for the sake of an "epic" patchlist.

Go star citizen, show CCP what space game should be about.

To be honest I am not sure if it was even confirmed by CCP, but I was under the impression that details of the next expansion would be announced at Gamescom. With it approaching 7pm in Germany on the last day I doubt anything big would be announced this late.

Perhaps I missed something, but I am wondering if there was even supposed to be something at all with all posts saying there would be.

plus two new player factions

All they said beforehand about Gamescom was "a major announcement".

It was EVE: Valkyrie, disappointingly.

The mining minigame will require players to manually stack and sort every m3 of ore in their holds. Veldspar will have a nice square shape and will fit easily, but the more lucrative ores will have bizarre shapes that do not stack easily. This will be paired with WiS, so you'll have to get out of your cockpit and walk down to the ore bay and sort the ore as it comes into the bay. You can only sort 1 m3 of ore at a time, and every m3 of ore you can't click in time is ejected and lost forever.
