- Unstable wormholes sounds cool, but will they be found/accessable from everywhere? If so, i would suppose the empire wormholes will be as crappy as current exploration, and therefore again only benefit the 0.0 veteran players.
Yes - reward will reflect risk to a large degree.
You want rich stuff in empire where you can access it safely? And you can't see what's wrong with that?
If super-rich wormholes where accessible from empire, you really think that would hold back veteran players?
The competition will alwaysx be toughest where the most money is to be made. And the gankers will come just to find easy targets.
But mainly you are wrong in thinking that 0.0 is only populated by veterans. Plenty young chars around.
If you want to have access to 0.0 you can - get your corp into an alliance or join an alliance corp. It's not that hard.

- T3 ships with customization. I've dreamed of customized ships since i started eve. Well, actually more like custom textures and stuff, or meta lvl hulls/engines/capacitor. Anyways, how could this possibly work? If you're going to bring customized ships to EVE, you would have to make ALL ships like that, wouldn't ya?
Why?
Also with T3 you don't take regular ships and customize them with textures or anything like that.
T3 ship designs can be assembled from 5 compartments (drive, bridge, whatever) that have 5 variations each - for each of the 4 races. The exact combination of compartments determines your slots, bonuses, etc... The compartments also look differently so you get various ship modules out of the combinations. Best to watch the fanfest video (see ccpgames channel on youtube).

Well, not if you are CCP with it's fable for the veteran playerbase.
Well - many veterans here whine about how CCP only really caters to new players so I guess with everybody whining things must be pretty balanced. :-)

All others have to use the T1/T2 crap off the shelf while the skilled folks can use nice customized vessels ...
T3 is not even out yet and you already know that T1/T2 is crap? T1 is still viable. T2 mods are not always worth the extra money they cost.

- New industry for 3 ... well. I guess T3 is needed since T2 is messed up with those T2 bpo's, right?
Nope. Invention made BPOs almost irrelevant. Sure owning a BPO is more convenient and provides a bit less construction cost - but most of the market volume is due to invented BPCs and they determine the prices by their much larger supply. BPOs have a max output in a given timeframe - but an inventor can make more BPCs - the limit is the availablity of labs. Empire labs have been perma-busy ever since invention arrived and there are whole POSs that only exist to host labs.

I'm just afraid that another bunch of stuff will mess up general balancing even more (both, industry and pvp sides).
Things are mostly balanced. And there will never be a time when the whole game is perfectly balanced. Too complex to ever achieve that and - yes - every patch will mix it up again.
Originally by: Eddy Vasquez
Personally, i would be really fancy for a patch without any new stuff, rather than have the current stuff balanced. And there IS a lot of mods/ships/ammo/production time to be looked at. It would be much easier to bring new stuff into a healty base!
Not really.

People say i'm whining to much. To invalidate this: I don't see any problems with epic storyline missions or better NPC AI 
:-)
I'd like a better PC NI - but it's beyond CCP to deliver that. ;-)
