I think that the new expansion with Empire factions will play nicely into this expansion. We do get shipcasters to FW HQs in Exordium. But the other upcoming expansion will pull players towards more PvE content too. Gallente election was esentially a beta test for this new system.
How many took part?
Vs how many actually play?
This is very relevant, if only 3k took part but 300k play.. the percentage of people interested in such content is less than 1% of the playerbase… hardly cause to create more of it.
I just discuss from what i know other people do and from what i did myself at some point in time or could think of be doing in the future.
It may also not be understandable to you, but some people that don’t have much time at hand just do the dailies and some PI and nothing much more.
So again another question: would be relocating to Exordium and doing the dailies there be illegal for a 30+ day old character?
It would involve mining there and doing missions.
You mean Gallente election? I have no clue how many people participated, but then we can also question how many people participate in homefronts, for example.
I tried (homeffronts) but theyre not newbro freindly either lol
Well, Gallente election was pretty newb friendly. Mine, explore, lvl 1 combat missions, etc. We had bigger content there too. I guess the system will get more expanded and will become like some sort of a questing system. Will give newbs more direction in what to do, rewards will be there, so also the perceived purpose and direction.
Exordium is just the training zone, but maybe Empire expansion will tie into it somehow and pull people towards high-sec and low-sec, out of the new full-sec.
its so if lil jonny and lil susie decide to join EVE together, and one picks gallente and one picks caldari, then they both can play right by each other and not be on separate sides of the map.

Id like to see a more questing type of system but i wouldnt have said that event really was such; i mean sort of tailor made to the player, missions that have events added to them a bit like cosmos/arc AND expeditions with the write up actually mentioning the players name.. with rng elements so no players experience is the same…
Probably too hard to make tho..
i mean its what, 14 jumps?
everything is within 4 jumps of Manifest.. sometimes having that much of a distance, will make people not wanna play because they can’t fly together while they are doing career agents etc.
LooL i live in a wh atm so i actually know what you mean

Well, yeah, Gallente ellection isn’t exactly a questing system. But anyway, I still think that this and the next expansions are going to be great for new players overall. shrugs
What about veterans? is there any news for new stuff for us? i havent seen any but i could easily have missed it.
not for this expansion no..
this upcoming exordium expansion is strictly for newbies…
I still reckon they should make an rts expansion for incurions.. be fun to do instead of ship spinning… also.. why not??
Planet side of course not in space…
Exordium is only part of the expansion. Military campaigns is for everyone and will be the meat and potatoes of the summer expansion (and the following 2). Things are heating up between the Minmatar and Amarr empires, both sides are calling for open war, Exordium is a way CCP can keep newbie space free from conflict and still have shenanigans in high sec.

Is it Pork?
CCP needs to add a “betrayal” or “defection” system like some other mmos have had, where you can domissions to change your faction. The machanics are already 99% there as you can already make your own faction hate your gutswhile your new favorite faction loves you via status. Pay a fee, sign a new contract, do some missions and now your Amaar character is a member of Gallente. Now you can remove bloodlines altogether and just have non-factional preset “starting skills” packages to choose from at character creation.
Long Pork. Best nutritional value.
There are vegan pilots here too.
Perhaps it means hearty protein?

So industry gets nothing yet again?
Last expac was for miners
The one before that for gankers
The one before that was a kick in the hangers for Industry .
Like when we be recognised as important pilots of New Eden.
When will industry be heard?
ok if that is thought as a full fleged out space with resources and all (wich it has to be to be fair) and no forced like you can stay so long then you have to leave free transit. then this is lets make the rorqual a mining boat level of bad. the current wardec system is already abused to kindom comes to shield people from pvp. so now you plan on adding space where its litterly impossilbe to get killed by players with resources well lets say that much bye bye tritanium price and see the flood of orcas and barges stripping this reagion entirly clear in moments
to make this not a issue it would need to be a totaly diffrent eco system with no posibilty to move resources back or forth just your char so it doesent give you a incentive to stay longer then you need to also it doesent give the orca fleets the chance to strip mine it for valuables. as much as i dont like code. with the current wardec system we have they are a requireded function of the eve ecosystem.
