Third installment of the latest EVE Online expansion, the Incursion is set to be deployed on January 18th 2011. CCP has decided to split the expansion into three parts to increase the overall quality of the expansion. So far, so good: the amount of issues related to patch deployment was less than what would a veteran player expect. There were two database issues which resulted in emergency reboot, but CCP claims they weren’t related to Incursion itself.
The list of changes coming into New Eden is not as short as one might expect. New content includes:
- overhauled Trinity engine with volumetric shadows,
- new graphic effects for ship explosions,
- new Neocom GUI with Windows-like menu interface,
- Incarna Character Creator including CARBON technology,
- PI Improvements: Extractors replaced with Extraction Controllers = less clicking in PI
- Updated Contract system – new GUI, better search, sorting done server side
- PLEX tab in Character Window
- Sansha Incursions & Incursion early warning system,
- CONCORD LP store
Below you can watch a couple of screenshots with the new content. Enjoy!
