Let me give you guys a little more information on what is coming. Starting next week we will be producing a series of 'In Development' video blogs which will look at what the various teams are planning for Winter 2011. I want to stress that these videos will not contain release dates as we are aiming to provide a lot of stuff and do not want to commit to a date we cannot keep. These will include:

Engine trails - Yes, that's right we are adding engine trails to EVE and we will show the work in progress so far.

New ships - Recently we featured a shot of the Tornado, the Deviant Art contest winner, on the EVE Facebook page. We were not happy with just giving out one ship so we will be showcasing all four new ships.

New nebulae - These new background sin the EVE universe are stunningly beautiful and will add to the immersion and feeling of being in deep space.

Team BFF - This team should be Best Features Fullstop and CCP Soundwave will give an overview of what his team has in store. Capital ship balancing, balancing hybrids, assault ships bonuses and much more will be added during winter.

Customer Relations - The Lead GM's will talk about changes to how petitions are handled, more options for Stuck petitions and how we aim to deal with your issues as fast as possible.

We are not just going to stop there. We will bring you more video blogs about what is in development for EVE Online.

And spray-on rust tones.

The Myrmidon is a fine-looking ship. While the Tornado design was clearly in the top handful of entries to the competition, it does feel kinda derivative, Gallente-influenced, and as though it's flying backwards.

... so I guess we'll need to make some story to explain all that. I wonder which company will get to develop it and whether they'll have been working together with the Gallente on FW things.

Came expecting horrible symmetrical Raven, left pleasantly surprised.
Also Freelancer-style location based nebulae for the win. I really cannot wait for this.

Well, that was the same raven as we have currently. I highly doubt its the new one (yet). It is basically the old model we see on this vid. After all the guy was still working on it.

Look closer, guys, that Raven already had a new pair of engines...  :P

I really hope though that the Raven only recieves a minor facelift. I think it's already looking awesome.

I guess I'm the only one who'd like to seem them do with the Raven what they did with the Scorpion, huh? >>

It will look considerably different when the Raven has the "version 3" upgrade that the Scorpion and Maller will have. And apparently they intend to give all ships that upgrade.

Not sure I like this idea - not all ships needs a facelift - The Rax, Vexor, Myrm and many, many others look damn good allready, but then stuff like Dominixes, Hyperions and others could do with an update. Right now, I'm hoping that if they facelift the domi they make it sleeker and longer, as opposed to bigger and more condensed, so to say.

Interesting. Looking forawrd to the new Raven, it can't be much more worse looking than the steel mill accident it's now. Hopefully they will do they re-do the Dominix soon.

PS. Leave my Hyperion alone, it looks awesome.
