CCP has today announced the arrival of their new Eve Online expansion in the form of Eve Online Rubicon, which will be the game’s 20th free expansion, and will be launching on November 19th, 2013 for Eve Online gamers to enjoy.
New Features and Enhancements
Eve Online Rubicon promises to bring a plethora of new features and enhancements to the game, further enriching the player experience. One of the most anticipated additions is the introduction of new deployable structures. These structures will allow players to exert more control over their environment, providing strategic advantages and new gameplay mechanics. For instance, the Mobile Depot will enable players to refit their ships in space, while the Mobile Tractor Unit will help in salvaging wrecks more efficiently.
Another significant feature is the introduction of new ship classes. These ships are designed to offer more versatility and specialized roles in combat, exploration, and industry. The new Sisters of EVE ships, for example, are equipped with advanced scanning capabilities and covert ops cloaking devices, making them ideal for exploration and reconnaissance missions.
“The pilots of EVE have grown bold, defying the Empires that once created them. Is it dissent? Subversion? Or is it the beginning of a new age, where the immortal elite of a universe take their first steps toward truly claiming the heavens as their own?
The immortal pilots of New Eden have begun openly defying the Empires. It is a step irrevocable, fraught with dire consequences, yet imperative, as it sets in motion the beginning of their journey toward autonomy, control and a new age of the capsuleer.”
Impact on Gameplay and Community
The Rubicon expansion is not just about new features; it also aims to significantly impact the gameplay and the community. The new deployable structures and ship classes will encourage players to adopt new strategies and tactics, fostering a more dynamic and engaging environment. This shift is expected to lead to more player-driven content, as alliances and corporations vie for control and influence in the ever-evolving universe of New Eden.
Moreover, the expansion will introduce new challenges and opportunities for both veteran players and newcomers. The increased autonomy and control offered by the new features will empower players to carve out their own paths and make meaningful contributions to the game’s rich tapestry of stories and events. This sense of agency and impact is one of the core appeals of Eve Online, and Rubicon aims to enhance it further.
