The Rubicon was a river in Italy. Only in the last 20 years do scholars believe that they have identified the actual river that once bore this name. A small heavily polluted stream that barely flows anymore and certainly does not flow where Caesar crossed it.
The river that previously was Identified as the Rubicon was so named because of a scam some 500 years ago. Some persons placed a sign near the river saying no armies past this point and this was considered as sufficient evidence although the sign was 1500 years too young. (worse than editing the wiki)
The moment of the crossing of the rubicon was the beginning of the military dictatorship in Rome. Which one could consider a clear indication on behalf of CCP that Mittens will be moving his capital to Jita. The Pax Goonis is about to commence.

That would be like implying CCP haven't been pandering to PLEX consumers like goons/etc for years already.
Highsec needs to be changed fundamentally in order to push it toward a more dynamic and intuitive environment sure, Rubicon is guaranteeing that somewhat but why make highsec -> lowseclite when lowsec itself deserves more attention.

Personally, i love it. Rubicon is assoiated with doing something which will have very important results. As in, "Time to cross the Rubicon, my brothers!"
What i don't love though, is still a lack of POS fixes....... 
Maybe these new personal structures will make the difference though, who knows!

To me these structures look like the foundation for game mechanics that will eventually replace our current POS mechanics, and although it was brief this was alluded to indirectly in the video.
No need for a celestial object to be present, no restrictions on how many you can group together... sounds like the foundation for modular POS's and POS towns/cities.
"I'd like to anchor my personal "Depot" next to yours, or attach it to yours (share the same anchor point)."
"I'd like a weapons system that I can attach to it now."
"Hey, could we have a communal or corp hanger that we can attach too?"
"How about both so that informal groups can get together and use it, or alliances for that matter?"
Hey, I'd like to hook a lab to this thing."
Yep, this is actually a pretty good step in the right direction.
These things look to be more mobile than a POS, which is great, but if the mechanics are in place there is no reason to not apply them to more permanent installations.
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors.
If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

It is an excellent choice of name, pretty obviously chosen because of the 'crossing the Rubicon' being a reference to the Capsuleers beginning to take over Empire space - An action that we can't take back once we start to do it.
Don't know what you guys expect an expansion title to be, but this seems a good description of the content within it and the way it will affect the game and its story. |

If you crossed the Rubicon under arms then you were a rebel and/or enemy of the Republic depending on where you came from. Fight or be crucified.
Not sure what crossing the Rubicon means to CCP these days. Not this I suspect. Not sure it deserves the title of an expansion really, more maintenance with some shinys to dazzle you all. |

It's worth noting that the significance of crossing the rubicon and "the die is cast" isn't that Caesar went on to win. It was that it was a total gamble, an incredible risk. It only gets its victorius overtones in hindsight. At the time he said the words, what he was really saying is "we're as good as dead but there's no going back."

I like it, "The point of no return"...so, with high sec POCOs and the lack of concord response to them, they have set on the path of seperating capsuleers from the Empires, and it is not something you can put back in the box once it is out. |

Do they not sell dictionaries or something anymore in the countries where you guys live? It just means a point of no return. While the river may have something to do with the contemporary meaning of the word, CCP did not name this expansion after a river. :P |

The equivalent of that in Japan is to say "leap off of Kiyomizu Temple." Just a little trivia for the trivia-oriented types. |

Rubicon - A limit that when passed or exceeded permits of no return and typically results in irrevocable commitment.
