Hopefully they gave you enough of a cash injection to expand your staff in regards to putting an end to market, mining, and ratting bots. You know, the cancer slowly eating away at our beloved game? ---

With the new influx of cash supposedly will there be more iteration on FW? It is the only area I really truly enjoy in Eve and it has been stagnant and has only the most minor changes in years. ---

There’s no plans at this stage for any type of deals like this. Too early to say, really. 2. Their directness, and their respect for CCP and what we’ve done over the last 20 years. We all recieved a super nice message from their CEO, Robin, during the announcement to all our staff, that laid everything out super nicely and was really well received. ---

Does this mean you will have more staff to implement changes to servers and content? Also will this give you chance to maybe upgrade the EVE portal for mobiles as its very very basic unlike EVE Gate was. ---

@CCP_Falcon With Dust 514 being canceled and a new FPS being announced in 2017 (about the time PA took interest) is there the chances of doing a joint effort on a new Dust 514 style game that may directly or indirectly effect Eve online? ---
