All of the environmental gameplay in this game is meant as the backdrop from which you then enjoy the actual content by interacting with other players.

These features are currently being expanded by decoupling them from the safety and predictability of NPC involvement (hisec pococ, nullsec indy expansion, etc).

That said, mining is ******* awful, and needs to be reworked from the ground up. The rest is generally fine, and just needs to be better integrated into the fundamental interactive gameplay that defines Eve.

And thats all im really hoping for... is for them to look at it and say "Hey... I wonder if we could do something here"

Anyway this thread will be torn apart because "hue hue 2 month member" but I WAS here a long time ago, and I honestly dont see much change besides streamlining and different types of ships.

No ships going boom no ship sales for industrialists.

you've obviously never met a powerbear. entire space garages full of bling, loveingly buffed to a gleaming finish.

never to be undocked.

i'm pretty guilty of this.

I think changes to mining are in the pipework (I've heard rumours of planetary-ring mining). There have also been changes with the industry hauler ship statistics, and the addition of the Venture. There have also been alterations to ice mining sites and there are now plenty more ore belt anomalies and gas sites to mine imo. Changes have been coming little and often, but they do usually get obfuscated by the bigger changes in the game.
