my thoughts:
- alliances will shrink to smaller, more organized groups of several corporations that seek to control a specific area. having an alliance that claims 3-8 regions and blockades the front door to keep it closed won't be possible because corps could get set up behind the lines and you wont see them for weeks even months
- pilots in space/dock map feature for 0.0 regions needs to be GONE, nobody in their right mind would set up a multi-billion isk operation deep in hostile territory (which atm, everything is hostile) only to be found the first day you do a mining op
- new ship classes? i would only put my bets on black ops/recon frigs being in WITH the shiva patch, as for the rest.. either months later, or Kali. Elite cruisers will probably be released somewhere in fall, with dreadnaughts and all those other special battleships somewhere during christmas with Kali or new years.. reason? not gonna be able to create a new UI that fast.. big undertaking
- new XL class weapons for the dreadnaughts would be nice (can anyone say 6000 wrecking? o_0) so would anti-POS missles like LRBM (long range ballistic missle) that would travel at damned slow speeds with utter crap for tracking but deliver a payload that would seriously make a dent
- POS, probably going to start small, with control towers, a few defenses, mobile refineries, cargo cans.. then get more detailed with shield emitters, missle platforms, reserach centers..etc. Should cost a lot of isk, because this game needs something that would force even carebear miners to fight and die to save. Should be destroyable and not conquerable, or else we'll reach a point where they are everywhere and it makes more sense to take one over rather than build one
- should take a damn beating, and be hard to find, to avoid POS ganking fleets.. if you want to kill one be prepared to invest a week or more just tracking it down and then raiding the defenses down over the course of a few days (not like the silly conquerable stations where they switch hands hundreds of times a month)
- new tracking, missle, drone, and skill changes should be very nice for some mixed fleets, although cruisers are sooo ****** atm its not even funny, they dont hit as hard as a bs, but are prone to direct bship fire.. they're also pretty weak, lasting a few seconds, but not as fast as a frig to running
blah
