So, for one that does not participate in any form of ship pew-pew with other players whatsoever, does 'Inferno' holds any new content at all?

EDIT: I mean something with actual depth and interactive content; new pretty graphics does not count.

I noticed that while updates to Wardecs and FW are mentioned, nothing was said about the iteration to the Sov system. Is there any plans in place to take a look at and/or tweak Sov for Inferno, or is the previously discussed iterations on it going to be so drastic that they require more time to develop? The iterations or concepts I'm most interested in were moving towards a more usage dependent Sov system, smallholding, and small(er) scale Sov warfare usefulness. Any new information that can be shared on these subjects? Or at least an indication of when in the current development timeline they are intended to be looked at?

All the threads concerning changing mining to a more active style of mining have always been swarmed by the mining masses who mine while watching TV and movies or whatever. CCP wont ever change mining as it would result in another ***** fest in jita where they will do something ******** like shooting a statue ... and people will quit, etc. We've all seen the EVE Community is incapable of changing whether its for the good or not.

As for S&I like research and stuff, havent they made it easier in the last few months? Ive been on break from EVE since this past summer (still had active accounts) and havent done anything really of note to notice.

Instead of just saying 'Go read F&I' why dont you give a summary of a real suggestion (concrete) here where devs are obviously watching. I had a dev reply to me almost instantly after my post.

Edit: And CCP said something that they dropped comet/meteor mining due to issues with having solar system wide moving objects - keeping players speed with them, etc. That was a long time ago though, ill try googling the info in a few hours.
