Last wednesday CCP has released a statement about the incoming winter expansion here. To sum up the coming changes:
- Incursion will feature the escalating attacks of the deadly Sansha’s Nation
- Incursion will also include many improvements as suggested by the Council of Stellar Management
- Expansion includes updating the character creator with CCP’s Carbon character technology
- Sansha Mothership, Fighterbomber (we do not know yet if it is going to be available to players)
- New playable ship – the Noctis salvaging vessel – more info about the ship in the recent devblog
- New forums in EVE Gate
- More group oriented PVE content – new NPCs with sleeper AI even in high sec
- New loot, new visuals (visual effects?)
- More dynamic and simplified system for Planetary Interaction.
From the description of the coming changes it looks like a rather small expansion, similar in its scope to the Quantum Rise.
I took a minute or two to mash up the images from the Incursion website to make a nice wallpaper for the new expansion. Copyright owner of the images is (c) CCP.
