You will still provide manual patches, I hope?

The ability to download the patch once, distribute it over the network and patch five installs on four machines (one via VM) in parallel. It's not really a matter of bandwidth or download cap for me, although others have expressed that as one major advantage, but one of getting the whole thing done in (basically) one fell swoop.

For everything / most pushed updates after this, I wouldn't care and will use the auto patcher anyway. Copying a few meg file on a pendrive / across the network is rather pointless as the auto patching process is quicker.
Yeah, that's perhaps a better way to approach it: I don't really mind autopatching, but I would mind autoexpansions because at that point, having effectively 5 clients each download and install a multiple-hundreds (or even gig+ sized) expansions would just be a waste of time and bandwidth GÇö mine as well as yours.

Looks like a Merlin and a Slasher had sex. Thats a Templar, the amarr fighter. Its a combat drone used by carriers.
That's a Tyrfing, the Minmatar Fighter-Bomber (assuming you're talking about the picture in the blog, not the ones in the right-hand-side column, since those are just randomly picked chronicles).

Keep the cool streamlined and efficient patching stuff on the backside, and just add appropriate progression bar, and buttons to what we have graphically? GǪor, just to be completely contrary and to brainfart a bit for a secondGǪ 
If you're making a launcher, why are you picking the GÇ£cutoff pointGÇ¥ where you've set it: between patching and log-in? Have you thought about any problems/benefits/possibilities with placing it somewhere else?
For instance, would it be possible to make it so that (and what problems would arise if) the launcher deals with patching and logging in GÇö the main client then deals with character selection and gameplay. That should allow for the oft-requested ability to switch characters without having to relog (or, indeed, any of the things that are now handled by shutting down the client and relogging)GǪ or at least to hide the process: you still technically relog, but what actually happens is that the main client just restarts with the same account info, so you don't have to enter it again.
