This is great news, I'm glad that PvE is getting some new content. I'm loving the "pressure-cooker circumstances" concept (especially as if it is successful, it paves the way for the avatar-based exploration prototype we know you've got hidden in the cellar). It all sounds very intriguing and I look forward to seeing how it plays out.
God knows PvE needs something fresh.
The only shame is the suggested scarcity of these Ghost Sites. Will they be something that most will only ever see a YouTube video of rather than be able to experience themselves because every site will have been exploited within an hour of downtime?

That is not the plan :) I just want to find a happy medium between always available and never available... we should tweak things until we find that nice place where the content is not so over used that no one is excited to see it any more.
I'm glad to hear this, and it's exciting to see a bit of new mystery being injected into the narrative. I was wondering if a humanitarian organisation like Sisters of EVE should be getting labelled as a 'pirate faction,' but they're clearly up to something too.
Is the appearance and re-seeding of these sites constrained to server downtimes or have you developed a way to have them materialise throughout the day so as not to favour those who can log on immediately after downtime? |

Refer to the history of scannable complexes, Wormholes, Incursions...
You could always avoid reading them. I've never really understood the insatiable need - it undermines game content and sucks out all the fun if you're just following instructions to complete a challenge.
I always considered it cheating. |
