What are Ghost Sites?
Ghost sites are a new, rare type of cosmic anomaly. They will appear on your system scanner and will be a new style of exploration site featuring fast paced hacking and combat.
Where will they be located?
Ghost Sites will be in ALL areas of space - including WH
What loot can I get in Ghost Sites?
Sites in each area of space will drop slightly different items, including blueprints for the first ever implant set to be manufactured by players. The blueprints and one of the required materials will be sourced from the Ghost Sites.
What are the Implants?
The new set of player manufactured pirate implants, called 'Ascendancy' implants will vastly improve your warp speed
You fix graphical lag from clouds yet. ( I didn't use a question mark because I know you haven't and never will)
There are no clouds used in Ghost Sites and every content feature I iterate on or create contains no clouds. However, I am a content designer not a graphics programmer, so I can't fix graphical lag from clouds :)

I say T2 implants because t1 are still a good isk sink from LP stores and should stay there for that very reason.
Loot tables aren't finalised yet but I will let you know as soon as I can :) CCP Affinity | Follow me on Twitter Content Designer for EVE Online |

Affinity! Question for you! What's the total bonus from the full set?

so basically, you are introducing a brand new feature that was in fact an old feature you deleted in the previous patch? and you want us to applaud?
where did i saw that earlier....oh yeah, the hurricane, nerf it, then introduce brand new cane fleet which is the old cane witha x3 price tag....
and in the meantime, crazy bugs still won't get fixed like the server tick / the overview / local tag refresment / broken grids.... |

a few questions: define "fast paced hacking and combat" is it tailored for big team of players is it maybe for small group of 1-5 players? will those sites scale with WH class (from 1 man sites in c1 to triage/dread fleet in c6) how rare/abdundant You want those sites to make will they appear in addition to existing sites or will they be just added to "spawn table" so overall sites in one WH system will be similar? I hope they are made as addition so we can have more things to do in WH does all material needed for production of those impalnts be available in WH or do we need materials from diffrent types of space (i.e. can we produce them in WH or do we have to move stuff from hi sec into wh first)
It's tailored to be run solo if you want to but to allow for disruption gameplay. It may be beneficial to take a team with you, but there will be nothing in the site that forces you to take a group of be at a disadvantage.
Fast paced just means perhaps it is in your best interests to not stick around for too long...
The highest level of site will be in WH space, but they won't scale with class
The sites will be rare enough that if you happen to be lucky and spot one, it is worth your while to drop what you are doing and go to the site
They will be an addition
All materials needed for production will not be available in WH space - no single area of space will have everything they need without moving stuff

I want to see one of the implant material requirements be a special type of scrap collected from used implants either through willful removal or frozen corpse exploitation.
I wonder if that could make for a new kind of ransom: "We'll let you keep your golem if you pull your snake set out and give us the scrap!" Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's. |

Lloyd; nothing about corpses yet. ;)
Affinity;
So. I'm trying to think of where these will see use, outside of convenience-- and the obvious use cases seem to be freighters (between this and the Rogue set, they can probably hit ~2.72 au/s if they're motivated, though for the discerning freighter pilot Slaves might be better for anti-gank hilarity), and interceptor pilots for truly insane arrival speeds. The trick is-- if these end up anywhere near the cost of existing pirate implants, will that dissuade pilots from using them?
Which is to say-- people buy expensive implants when they specifically speak to the strengths of a ship, and expand those needs. Couching this new PvE's desirability on a single (admittedly powerful, but niche) implant series may be risky, given that for the heavy spenders there will often be more relevant implants. Perhaps it might not be a bad idea to do two or three implant series?
Also: what NPC types will be in these sites? Sleeper-based, or...?

Thak You for those answers, but what You wrote makes me kind of sad :(
First of all with introduction of new content that also affected WH (FInally You guys fought about us when introducing something that can be used everywhere) You missed the biggest chance to add actual gameplay so people that have nothing to do but spin pos'es will get their hands dirty. Instead we get a very rare site that will be cleared by single person and we will not see another in a day or so (example numbers)
Instead You guys could increase the amount of appearances of those sites but decrease the value of single site. That way people will actually venture and look for them instead of having just "lucky find" when they went for boring gas mining.
With rare occurances this will not solve another problem - it will not bring more people into WH that are searching for those sites. Its to big risk to go to WH to begin with and now they will also be lucky if they will find one site? Nahhhh, i'll just look in hi-sec for the lesser versions.
Last question: What kind of combat do You have in mind - just like the old hi/low/null hacking/archeo sites? if yes than this is the worse joke CCP pulled on us - taking away content with one hand and reintroduce as "New Content" with another. Read and support: Don't mess with OUR WH's What is Your stance on WH stuff? |

So what exactly did you work on for last 2 years? Because nothing new was introduced in term of content and environment and what was released consisted basically of attributes shifting (rebalance / tiercide team), artsy stuff (art team), sounds/music (audio team), few old hulls in new colors.
In the meantime lowsec pvp focal points were removed (static 2/10 DEDs), exploration switched into "go where lights are blinking and click on dots then grab whatever pinata spews on you", probing got broken on many levels from basic stuff up to meta level because apparently devs don't play their own game or even test for regressions. Oh, and you still didn't solve spaghetti code since what, 5 years ago? So no new POS system, no new corp management, no overview or d-scan revamp, no new anything.
So, what exactly Content Designers do for Eve? I am not my skills but... http://eveboard.com/pilot/Schmata_Bastanold |

WHs got new Radar and Mag site containers (the sites are still the same), that end up being ignored completly because the new system sucks donkey balls.
The last big content update was incursions?! They seem to be rather pupular, but then thats like 2 years old now I guess.
Oh there are a few new gates in lowsec, hauling them there sure took half a year of content designer work. |

I think what he means is that wormholes need some serious love all the way around and specifically in terms of security within corps and we got an entire team of devs working on a useless feature that no one would give two ***** about had you not just announced it.
so to recap, fuckfuck this shitshit. |

Last 2 years... I think incursion rebalance, tutorial overhaul, FW overhaul inc missions and sites, exploration and now ghost sites. Even if I hadn't done these sites I still would not do a POS system, corp management, overview etc.. you are looking for a programmer to speak to about those :) CCP Affinity | Follow me on Twitter Content Designer for EVE Online |
