So, after reading the first useful blog about Apocrypha changes, I foresee a coming crash in the Sisters Scan Probe Launcher market. The timing is obviously in the air.
The devs have said in there comments that they are looking to keep all the skills still a factor and all the same modules in use. Perhaps just with a name change? Wouldnt be the first time they completely botched items ingame before. *python mines* cough.

If you notice it doesnt exactly say they arent bricking the millions we have spent already. |

The real question will become what do you need for probing in the new world?
Do you use cov-ops, find wormhole and come back with combat ship to jump through?
If cov-ops is still used then Sisters launcher may still be best. by changing the skill/module requirements it means everyone will be able to search for wormholes.
I am just hoping I can continue to scan in 100secs, and the noobs with no skills take 10 minutes!
I think they have kind of answered this. Yes you might scan it down in ur trusty helios... but if ur coming back in ur bs. It better have a scanprobe launcher onboard in order to scan and get back home. Only problem... you might come out 40 jumps from high sec and no place to hide.
Also think they arent necessarily going with the net approach of scanning anymore. I think they might just have u sit there and you will just work to lock on to something. It then sort of pings and shows you locking onto the target. Rather then the silly net system they have now. |

I predict prices of implants will skyrocket leading up to, and after Apocrypha. The increased demand for +1 to +4 implants will cause the price for +5's to drop slightly however.
I think so also... but because of the stockpiles and the ubercheapness of them now. The increase will be negligible.

You can't reliably take capitals into a wormhole. The chances for you to get a capital through one are very small. Then leave alone the fact that the new NPC's will be really hard, meaning that chances are you will have to bring friends. That's not even considering getting back out again!
dreads arent very good for pve.. exception being moros.. but the new npcs are nasty. They will switch targets depending on the heaviest hitter. So moros quickly loses his drones as he doesnt have remote rep.
Carrier on the otherhand might have a problem keeping his fighters repped enough; eventually losing them.
The battleships will be key in these new systems.

Cyno Field Generator,,, check. Carrier,,, check. POS and 2 months fuel (minimum),,, check.
Currently you cant jump a carrier from Querius to venal in 1 jump. They obviously will make this new wormhole system FAR away. The real question is if you can cyno in between the wormhole systems; or will they be far apart also. |

Yes. The existing Sisters launchers will all turn into the Sisters version of the "big" launcher. Any ship which could use either launcher previously can use the big version under the new system, and as it's better we decided that that's what we'd give everyone. The "little" exploration-only launcher uses a lot less CPU but is considerably less useful.

Thusly. I can say. Yaay lets hope people try to dump them :)
