Seems like they are building EVE from the inside out.
Rebalancing Reprocessing - I wonder if scrapmetal processing skill will be removed and the SP refunded?
Industry - Clickfest reduced and Interface brought up to date. Looked good to me.
Cloaky Stealth Miner in the form of the Prospect. Love this idea - gang of ninja miners!
3 new Pirate ships - the battleship looked evil.
Drones being realigned to a primary weapon platform.
FREE Drones next week. 3 for each of us. Gecko Drones.
Freighters being moddable now - they can use fittings and rigs. Long time coming this one.
Extra hislot on every Blockade Runner and DST.
Miners getting an offensive polish - you can punch back was fozzies words....
Stuff being splodable..... I dont think they meant Jita 4-4 guys......
Future of player built star gates... Oh and 10 smaller expansions a year rather than 2. Makes for a more agile CCP I think in regard to fixing and changing things.

1 every 5.2 weeks means a patch everyday for 3 weeks putting the previous expansion right.

OP says 10 small expansions a year.
52 weeks in a year.
52/10 = 5.2 so 1 expansion every 5.2 weeks roughly. |

He's also promising an end to high sec and that all NPC stations will be destructible.
I don't see that happening and still keeping a subscriber base. In other words, i don't see that happening.

it wasnt the download times i was getting at, it was the fact it takes them ages to fix stuff. |

New UI = win. Infinite slots and new cost scaling = epic fail.

While mex is high priced, even the new ninja miner grabbing the mex ores is NOT going to come CLOSE to a barge mining veld. Even with a single miner counting as 3 with 100% + 50%, it will still be less than 1/5th the yield of a single strip, let alone a parge with 3 strips.
None of the mining changes comes CLOSE to making it worth it to go mining in low in a T2 mining frig instead of a t1 barge. Still off by an order of magnitude in terms of profitability.

Simply means removing regression test. In a 6 month cycle, you should have 5 months of development, with new features tested within each cycle, then a month to look at all the stuff that wasn't supposed to change, to make sure it didn't get broken by changes to other code. Drop to a 5 week cycle, and you slice out the regression. Test new feature in isolation and ship, crossing fingers you didn't break anything unintended.
It works well in a fairly simple application like SalesFroceDotCom that does one thing, and pretty much only that one thing. In complex, highly integrated systems like EVE? Well, we can expect WAY more defects than the VERY high defect count we've seen up to this point. |

More likely, one a month, excluding January (no one around to work on anything in December) and September (Euro seems to take August off also). |

I don't see that happening and still keeping a subscriber base. In other words, i don't see that happening. I think it will happen and won't be as drastic as it sounds. Having sec status be more of a gradient instead of clear hi/low/null divisions, in conjunction with player held stations in empire space could go a long way towards this while still preserving pve play-styles.

Well, one, no, they shot down player owned stations in empire. They're JUST making them destructible (so far). I don''t think that spelling out how bad that could get, now that High sec will be open to cap ships, should be necessary, but apparently it is,
Stop and consider, if you will, that every trade hub that springs up will be visited, within a few weeks, by a suicide cap fleet, if for no other reason than to troll.

I ran the numbers again in a "back of the envelope". Probably like 4-5x as much ore from barge as from fully trained Kronos. The point remains. While the mex ores do pay a little better than veld, it is not CLOSE to 4-5x that would be needed to downsize into T2 mining frig.
While it is a romantic notion that a fleet of these ships will be sneaking into low sec to ninja some super high value ore, it is incredibly unrealistic to think it will actually happen given the finances.
Give this thing the mining power of a barge (1000% bonus to laser instead of 100%) and an ore hold the capacity of a freighter's cargo hold, and MAYBE, just maybe we would see a fleet of them in low sec.... of course, the real use would be to transport ore around high sec.
The venture is used for the week it takes to get into a barge... then tossed aside. |

EVE never deletes accounts. Why? They want you to be able to resub and pick up right where you left off, wallet, suffs, skills, etc fully intact.
Unsub. Come back to years later. Hours for PLEX. Log in. The station and all your stuffs is gone.... logout.
Less drastic. Go on vacation for a week. Come back.. all your stuffs gone. Unsub!
Not going to happen! |

LOL. I can see you are not in software development as a career. We don't needs no QA. Slap it together, ship it... let the users find the defects... fix.
This is not what Agile was advertised to be, but it is what it has become. |

He did say he wanted everything to be destructible including assets placed in station hangars.
Obviously, if they made NPC stations destructible, EVE would litterally die. |

Yeah, they announced that they were giving freighters the ability to fit modules and rigs. The thing that keeps people from simply repacking their carrier and putting it on a freighter to high sec is that the freighters have a cargo bay just SLIGHTLY smaller than a cap ship that's been repackaged. CCP noticed this fact during testing before introducing freighters, and removed all their slots (there being some particular reason that cap ships are packaged at the sizes they are) .
Effectively, there's nothing to stop you from simply freighting in your carrier now.

thats going on the presumption that freighters will have a big enough hold via rigs/mods to jump them into high via gates........wont happen imo. |

A - they have not said you could fit expander rigs/mods
B - cargo hold could get nerfed hard so that even with rigs/mods it cant carry them. |

A: yes they have, though that's under the broad 'any' rather than specifically stating those specific items would be allowed.
B: no nerfs have been mentioned,

A packed carrier is 1 million m3. Literally every type of freighter will be able to carry a packed carrier with just 2 cargohold rigs. This post was lovingly crafted by a member of the Goonwaffe Posting Cabal & proud member of the popular gay hookup site, somethingawful.com |

This would also imply that you would even be allowed to put a cap ship inside a freighter regardless of having the space to do so. CCP's Motto: If it isn't broken, break it. If it is broken, ignore it. Improving NPE-á/ Dynamic New Eden |

Their cargo holds are almost big enough now with no expanders.
so either you make them not able to fit expanders, or you nerf the original hold so much that even with expanders they wont carry them.
Even I dont think CCP are stupid enough to let Caps into high. |
