It is interesting that Oveur's turn for writing his Band of Bloggers blog ended up being the 350th Blog written to date. Coincidence? Fortune? Fate? Who knows?
Rising to the ocassion of this milestone, Oveur shares his thoughts on how EVE has grown over the last three years, where EVE is going, and some changes along the way. There is a nifty analogy of the design process, information on the Contract system, code changes for Kali; including possible integration of the Chinese 'Dragon' code branch into RMR/Blood, and much more.
Plenty of food for thought. Enjoy!

I've therefore cleaned this thread.

I can't wait to see contracts functioning and in game. Well, that and everything else coming in Kali1. Good read, and here's to 350 more!

I believe the top contract in the screenshot indicates that this is perfectly possible (note the Availability:Incorporated, compared to the Availability: The Esoteria region on the others)

From what I know, the Concord BS is called Hyperion.

Im one of the heroes in this game (ransoming pirate). And nobody can question it, because Oveur said so!
Nice to see a dev blog about the needs for ship destructions and killing. It DOES fuel the economy and makes things worth a damn to produce in the first place. I hope this ends discussions about making empire totally safe. Eve needs to be brutal. Also the nice guys are much easier to notice amongst a crowd of thiefs. 
That contracts thing looks awesome. Replacing escrow is really needed. Cheating people is one thing, but using escrow doing it is pretty lame. Of course other people might not agree, and thats fine.
The brick analogy is very true. People do unexpected things, which is why the game is so cool in the first place. Its definently not the same fight vs everyone, for example. People do crazy things and have crazy setups. I love it.
And Oveur, if you are going to have a famous quote in every blog, im going to have to begin collecting them.

Hyperion: WOOO!
{edit} Request for clarification: apart from "incorporated", all the other entries in the screenshot seem to be single-region. Are we losing the ability to view item listings for the entire cluster?

Meh... the mods and GM's deserve to be able to do what they want. Devs because they produce this amazing game and GM's because they have the patience to read petitions being filled out by people wanting their 1 cents back due to downtime.

Wow, contracts!
The from what it's showing, I can only think of one thing that would be missing. But it'd be harder than hell to implement.
Unfined mineral trades.
Suppose I want a certain amount of minerals. Via the contract system, as it looks, I would set up contract for the minerals, and when someone delivers them, the contract is completed. Trade contracts like this would rock, but it could go a step farther.
Now, what would be the cat's ass, would be in the contract system could evaluate the mineral content of items and decide if it would refine to the amount of minerals that I'm requesting, using my skills. Then the trade could be completed.
This would make, "junk collector" a viable profession, and would make the process of clearing out a hanger much simpler.

So, I take it that Contracts will be the end of "Escrow scamming"? Or maybe the birth of a new type of scam..

Sounds excellent! When can we expect a release of the contracts system? Kali 1 or Kali 2?
