Revenant

 


The latest Eve Online expansion "Revenant" will be landing on November 12th. You can see the launch trailer above.

(I'd like to mention that I still can't track Asteroid Belts. Been over a month now.)

The Deathless is going after Drifters. Which hopefully means all this tomfoolery in Zarzakh will end and we can start using it again. Using Z space was extremely useful to us and it brought a lot of much needed content options to our plate, something we've been unable to enjoy while it has been borked. So I'm hopeful this expansion will help address that issue.

We're also getting two new spaceships, which is always exciting. But these two ships also promise to bring along with them a new type of close-range weapon system. And that is always cause for alarm. The track record for new weapon systems hasn't been the best thing in Eve lately, so I remain cautiously optimistic whenever we hear about a new one. It seems like this one might be something that attacks structure, which might be a useful way to combat the growing rise of hull-tanking in the game. That has potential. I hope it also brings along with it some exciting new game-play options as well. We'll have to wait and see.

Also something something Null Sec Mercenary Bases. “The Deathless is also in the business of trade, with players being able to trade encrypted infomorphs for new rewards. Informorphs can be generated thanks to a new type of structure – mercenary dens – which will start to appear in nullsec. By completing Tactical Operations for these dens, or ignoring them, the rate at which informorphs are created can be impacted, leading to a new way to control the economy in this lawless section of space.”

Whatever. I doubt that will have much impact on Low Sec for the time being. Although it is perhaps a system we can exploit again, now that they turned off the raiding.

Anyway, new expansion. Don't know enough about it to be excited or concerned. More information needed.
