'Investing In a Long-Term Future' says Producer

EVE Online producer CCP Seagull has sent out the team's vision of the future for the game. In it, it is revealed that there will be expansions with meaningful content and with real impact in the game but also smaller updates sent out every five weeks.

Citadels will also be a major feature in the upcoming updates and expansions. While not finalized, the team is nearing the stage of development where more information can be revealed.

We want an EVE Online where you the players control more of the EVE universe, and where exerting that control provides for conflict, collaboration, cleverness, and reasons to live amongst the stars. We want you to build the market hub in your area of space and make money off it, and then defend it when someone wants to destroy it. We want your alliance to build the industrial headquarters of your coalition in a solar system, and then have the coalition use its military might to protect its assets when enemies attack. We want your home in space to be something you built, not just a place you moved into. We want this to be available on a suitable scale for the most massive coalitions down to the smallest corps of friends and even the lone wolves amongst you. We believe this is the path to bringing you more of the kind of epic conflicts and player driven experiences that are unique to EVE Online. EVE should be a universe where the infrastructure you build and fight over is as player driven and dynamic as the EVE market is now.
