In EVE a "fair" fight is a lost fight. And since when has war ever been "fair"? I won't go into this, but in EVE, like in real life, most fights are decided before they even begin. Unfortunately this has led to some practices, like logoffski, that people in real life can't emulate.

 As for the Expansion: Can't wait to kick some unwashed Minmatar behinds. Amarr Victor!

If I read it right, this expansion will be for PvP and PvE ppl with PvP and PvE missions.

Faction warfare....another gaming company sees the light.Now this is really interesting.

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

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.

I'm looking forward to this.

It is going to be great to have PvP battles inside deadspace complexes where new fleet tactics has to be developed. Especially as the acceleration gates can limit ships types that can enter the field.

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

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.

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.

now that i think of it, guess what BYE BYE JITA, i have a feeling that woudl be the first target. ive always wanted to kick the crap outta that system because of its lag, and now i have the chance :)

You called the next expansion both "Empryian" and "Empyrian".

 However, the correct name is "The Empyrean Age".  

A speciality of Jon Wood is raising the eyebrows of English-speaking gamers.

To bridge the gap and balance the distribution. I don't see a more logical course of action.

While I mostly PVE I can see this being fun but frustraing to the point of account cancelation. Ships in eve can get expensive. I hate how the Dev is so smug about losing your ship when the economy is so inflated, a loss of a few ships can mean complete Eve financial disaster. Please don't give me that crap about getting loans and ships from your Corp. Some players don't like to be free loaders or in the hole for millions of isk.

Yawn.......................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
