The new T2 modules
Just the warfare links, oh boy. You do realize that, for instance, now, instead of a -22.5% mining laser cycle time you can go up to -28.125% from any regular ship ? Or, if done in a deployed Rorqual, from -33.75% to -42.1875% ? It may not sound like all that much, but comparatively, that's a +29.03% to+39.13% mining yield for any ship, or +50.94 to +72.97% actual mining yield !
Similar but less shocking improvement for ship resists (shield/armor).
And don't get me started on the T2 siege modules, those make Dreadnoughts kinda USEFUL again.
Heck, the jump in convenience of T2 tractor beams, that alone is pretty nice for just about any NPC-popper.
All in all, the majority of new T2 items are pretty damn cool to have.
Player Owned Customs Offices and the PI taxation changes
After so many, many, MANY people kept complaining that "there's no reason to leave highsec", now they give you a reason to do so, and all you can think of is "waah, my PI income is ruined".
No, it's NOT ruined. It's TEMPORARILY STUNTED, even for highsec. As the market prices readjust.
And for those doing it outside of highsec... if you can keep your POCOs unpopped, you can tax yourself at zero and have it pay itself from other people's taxes, which is double win. Get some of your enemies to also use it at drastically increased taxes and it's triple win.
Oh, and by the way, FW LP has become more valuable again. You're welcome. So nice nobody mentions it.
Oh, yeah, and you also got far more upgraded links. You're welcome.
Freakin' engine trails and bloody decent shadows
After all that incessant whining of "bring'em back", now that they ARE back (and by the way, they look better than they used to), gee, what a silent welcome trails get.
And the shadows went from terribad to gorgeous. I actually kept them on this time.
Hybrid (and not only hybrid ammo) buffs, and by extension, the Naga
How long has everybody complaining that blasters suck ? Now that they no longer really suck, any appreciation ? A tiny bit, maybe, but that's about it. And come on, what the hell were Caldari people expecting ? An even bigger Drake ? Let some room for a tier 4 battlecruiser to handle that :P
Also, maybe the tiny extra speed is not THAT much of a big deal on blastery ships, but still it's something.
Autodock, autojump, loot all ?!?
Seriously, just the "loot all" thing is awesome enough on its own.
But now, you can also autopilot directly into dock !
Or set a destination and NO LONGER HAVE TO MANUALLY ADD A WAYPOINT AND RE-ENGAGE AUTOPILOT after every jump ? Manual fast travel just became so much more convenient...
New nebula/starfield
I didn't get a chance to see many, but overall, they look AWESOME compared to the drek we used to have.
We used to have mostly uber-bright backgrounds (where you could barely see the transparent UI buttons at times) with some little pitch-black areas, now it's far more natural. Could still be better, but it's a lot easier on the eyes than what we used to have.
Oh, and DO NOT get me started on the color banding on the OLD backgrounds. Maybe you guys on your wimply undercontrasted no-real-blacks cheapo LCDs couldn't see it, but I sure as hell could. Annoyingly so. Not anymore, not with these new puppies. Not yet anyway.
The host of other small but important things
Drag fit to market bookmarks, increased fittings number, increased player ship salvage drops (and especially T2 salvage, and barges now actually droping T2 salvage at all), MISSILE SHOWINFO showing the right data, DPS display in the fitting screen, no more CONCORD insurance payouts, destroyers DPS buff, drones trying to dock, reconnecting to drones, better looking map, better looking warp, better looking a lot of other things, the return of "still picture" option for hangar and quite a few other stuff.
The things still to come
Fuel pellets. Time dilation. BOTH awesome.
...
Yeah, the font thing is kind of a win some lose some deal, but... eh.

Yeah, I voiced my amazement over the new gang links in the help channel and some guy replied with "it's only .5% difference!" 
Blasters are still not on par though, thing is that it's not something they should change in regards to hybrids but rather they should finally become fearless enough to admit that the optimal range on pulses + scorch is silly atm, just as silly as having TC/TE affect falloff while not adjusting falloff ranges on AC's (and/or ship bonuses) while giving them damage selection at the same time.
In order for hybrids to be better on par and for the blaster niche to work both lasers and projectiles need to lose some range.
Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.
If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it. |

Well people will adapt...
It was huge deal for me when I 1st saw it in SiSi, but it has been going to better direction all the time.
We just need to give UI department more time and enjoy they stuff you just mentioned...
Let's give this a time out for now and see how it looks after xmas or something.

@Op
There are already a couple of appreciation threads, but in my opinion, there cannot be enough said about this expansion.
A job very well done by CCP.
Scooping drones, if you have to (since they now auto-reconnect and try to return to ship if you warp away), click scoop drone and your ship auto-travels to, and scoops the drone. A big win as well.
Dragging a Ship Fitting into the Market window creates a group so you can shop for those items directly and easily. What a win this is !
It's a lot of "little things" that add-up to a huge difference in enjoyable gameplay.

This has definitely been my favourite expansion since Apocrypha, in fact while it was on sisi I just couldn't play on TQ much because I missed all of the improvements.
Also thank you, THANK YOU CCP for making destination stations on the overview yellow as per my suggestion, I've wanted something like that for years and it's a hell of a lot more convenient. |

This patch simply has too many awesome little improvements to mention!
New solar system map background makes scanning in some systems much easier, earlier there were systems where you simply couldn't see things because of a bright, coloured background.
Of the already mentioned things:
Nebulas are just stunning, epic space beauty <3
I love the new font and the huge improvement to usability it brought. Judging by the comments, it might have some scaling/anti-aliasing issues on other resolutions/platforms, but on my setup (Mac client, calibrated wide-gamut H-IPS@1920x1200) it is sheer brilliance esthetically and practically.
PI changes were implemented perfectly to cut down pre-patch speculation. While it changes the way many people harvest easy money (myself included, I've been running lowsec PI for some time on an alt), this patch makes PI more like an MMO game feature where teamwork pays off like it should. Btw in some regions the price has already adjusted :)

My favorite expansion is where they added the feature of being able to use one job successfully added as the template for any number of remaining character's industry/research slots as long as there are needed amount of free slots in the facility. since then i dont' have to click the same sequence of buttons 10*3 times every hour or so which drove me completely mad.

I play this game from 2005., I was never more impressed with some patch than with this one. Keep it up, CCP, you have done great, great job with this patch. Stuf that I like very much: Loot all, DPS counter in fitting, old weapons icons, Federation Navy Comet looks like a combat ship now, I can fit a Myrmidon with 6 rails with 800k SP on this char, and many more things. And the font looks nice when I choose bigger letters. CCP rules! |

2 thumbs up to this expansion. I hadn't paid much attention to the patch notes until the expansion hit, but noticed all kinds of great improvements right away. Corp bookmarks are bloody awesome, and by themselves the best change since Apocrypha. Pos setup/takedown no longer makes people want to kill themselves. Engine trails and new warp look wicked, and hybrid changes seem like a great step in the right direction.
Well done CCP! |

Yup, no more shooting the logi when your selected target dies right when you activate your guns and the logi ends up being the next target in the list  |

Did they announce when the blueprints for fuel blocks would be seeded? I wanted to kinda get going on that and was surprised they weren't there yet.
The reskin job they did on the Crane looks fantastic!
I logged in after patching and my POS was screaming for fuel, so I had to go ice mining for a while, but even that was really cool given all the new toys to see and play with: new warp tunnel is completely cool, new nebulas are stunning too! |

I think Akita is just a CCP alt patting him/herself on the back.
But more seriously, nice summary of the awesome things for Crucible. Don't forget the shiny-looking Gallente and Caldari ships! |

My traders appreciated that when I look at my auto pilot course the dots indicate what region each system is in.
I haven't messed with it yet but the graphics where you see misses will pay dividends for the game. The videos people make of eve fights will be much better. This will mean more videos and better exposure for the game. It makes me want to get a tracking disrupter and fraps.
Awesome expansion CCP!

Well there is some sort of terribad colour banding, much stronger than Incarna had anywhere, once you get out near the dark brown nebulae. And the warp effect kicks in too early, looking a bit silly when you begin warp near a planet (but it's still cool yeah).
My favourite small change? The god damn window toggling. Windows now toggle. Oh boy did it irritate the hell out of me to see that in 2011 some windows toggled but most still didn't. The first time I saw cargo toggle off, it brought a tear to my eye.
The new system and autopilot HUD is much nicer too. |

You obviously have no idea why Dilation is actually a good thing until the vast amount of time, energy, and money, can be invested in creating a 100% lag free environment for 500+ player all on a single node.
Instead of creating lag, this allows the lag to not effect people who want their commands to be heard and can handle a slightly slower speed fight if things get crazy.
Think of it more as Bullet Time for Space Ships.
And back to OP.. I have only had 5Min to spend ingame since the patch, but the eyefull of awesome I have seen plus all the goodness I have read over about what it added will reignight my EVE fire for a good bit. |

I count alleviating some of the side-effects of the UNAVOIDABLE lag as awesome.
In case you did not know already, we have a saying : it doesn't lag because the hardware//software sucks, it lags because people pile up on one another UNTIL IT LAGS.
Make a system not lag with 2k people ? You'll just get 3k people in the system. And then you get lag again. After a year or so, make it so it doesn't lag with 3k people ? They just bring 4k people. And lag's back. And so on and so forth.
The fact that the system can now handle lag SOMEWHAT gracefully while other more permanent solutions are researched and implemented to increase the load that can be handled before lag hits is an AWESOME thing.
In other words, given a certain amount of "lag" at a certain point in time because of a certain amount of players being handled by a specific hardware server node, what would you rather have, stuff freezing, almost nothing responding, waking up to a clone after not even seeing what happened... or rather, experiencing everything in slow-motion and doing whatever you would be doing if lag would have not existed (just slower) ?
I know which option I'd choose each and every time.

Glass Canon BCs will establish an opportunity to move away from duke nukem primary systems in large fleet fights. Any Alliances able to form fleets and primary at the squad level will dominate the battle field. Rather than 25 Vs 1 ten times it can be 2 vs 1, 125 times on a battlefield.

I've haven't had a chance to do much in-game yet due to stupid work, but I absolutely love the new Jump button functionality for semi-afk traveling. And the way that nebulas give you the sense of actually being in a physical place in the galaxy of New Eden. And the new warp tunnel effect. And that blasters are sorta kinda decent. |

Rail Nagas dealing more damage at range than a Rokh does even at moderate skills (and much more compared to pre-patch Rohks at similar skill levels)... insane and CHEAP instant damage at long range even in the hands of a relatively new pilot... yeah, I could see this becoming a rather good occasion for a second round of Goonswarm-like opportunities if any other large new pilot group could consider wandering in.

I also like the way the stargates are turned in different directions. It's especially cool to go through a stargate pointing at a nebula and end up smack in the middle of it on the other side. Epic win. |

Oh, I am suspecting that the gates are now ACTUALLY pointed towards the PROPER star to which the stargate is actually linked - and the background starfield is the same you can see when you open your map (keep it in 3D, don't flatten it).

Funny how they don't even MENTION that in the patchnotes, yet it's one of the more important pieces of "adding a feeling of realism to EVE" they could have possibly thought of...

I'd like to be a party pooper and say that the T2 probe launchers kind of suck :-/
Although it wouldn't be right unless there was some sucky T2 gear to carry on the tradition of T2 armor plates, T2 ECM mods and other unappreciated T2 mods. So I guess it's good for something.
And erh, I broke my nail on the darn railing in the Caldari CQ. I crave pink velvet and fluffy dice - and blinkenlights.
Ah ok, it's a pretty decent expansion I have to admit. ;-) |

A tiny detail:
You can now "scoop corpse to cargo" from farther away than 2500m. In this case your ship will approach the corpse and automatically scoop it when in range. Before the patch, you had to approach it manually, then scoop it.
In the name of all corpse collectors and necrophiles in Eve, thank you CCP!

There's one thing I liked a lot that I don't know if anyone else noticed, but in the market when you look at the prerequisites of items etc. you can actually get an accurate idea of how long it's going to take before I get a specific ship or can use certain equipment.
You also have ships now being labelled red uninsured if you look at the info on them so you get a helpful reminder if you're ever planning on switching ships or just looking at your own. |
