General Discussion

If they are smart they will have battle areas restricted .So even lower level players can play.

Let me see if I understand this clearly.

In an earlier article it was reported that 80% are PVE and 20% are PVP. So CCP is putting out a PVP expansion?

Where is the expansion for the PVE people? The 80% of your subscriber base?

No idea where the PvE expansion is.  They do add PvE things (L5 missions) but they use those to get people into PvP (L5 missions are only in low sec).

Now they only have to make ship combat  interesting and I resubscribe.

Distinct lack of new information

(Now if they just had player housing .... I would be there a L O N G time)

A new ship module that gives you a interior to your sip that you can outfit definatly fits the housing definition.

Are the folks at CCP taking advice from the Star Wars Galaxies team?

It is not difficult to join in the PVP experience. It can be fun.

I agree with an earlier poster: the guard duty thing stinks.

If CCP wants to work on an expansion, how about expanding the graphics for the crafter?

The spaceship builder gets to watch a timer count down as the ship is made? A lot of room for improvement.

The miner watches the cargo bay fill up? A lot of room for improvement. 

A researcher looks at the same count down. Things to improve. Just my opinion of course.

You get a gold star for hitting the nail right on the head. I could not of summed it up any better (or briefer).

  They have "Player Housing" since about 2005.

 

It's called "Player Owned Structure" and you can even build an Outpost. Admittedly, building an OP needs at least a very large Corp or an Alliance. But then, EVE IS a MMO.

People have wanted PLAYER houseing since before there was Corporation housing EG POS's. So that is what he was refering to (if I understood him right). If I didn't, well that is what I am referring to. I like the idea of this expansion but it did not have to have another name. It already had one, it was called "Revelations".

Ahh faction wars, cant wait. Long live Caldari State, death to all gallente dogs :P

I'm disappointed because I wanted ambulation to be the next big thing added.

That said, I'm already out in 0.0 amongst the player controlled empires.  This expansion seems to me that it will add nothing at all to 0.0  warfare, and will basically just be some new twist for the empire mission runners (I'm sick of empire and mission running, which is why I am in 0.0).

PS:  I agree that as it sounds now it's not the best choice, but don't insult CCP by comparing them in the slightest to the group of semi evolved simians who make up the SWG dev team.  If they were, they'd be nerfing Titans down to the same level as an Ibis and giving them away on character creation like SOE did to Jedi.

this could be the best thing that could happen to this game, now pvp will soar and ships will explode, finally the insane deflation might actually end. mining for 10 hours straight to earn a decent profit might finally come to an end. thank god.
