CCP announces that deployment of version 1.0.0 of the new
Incursion expansion for
EVE Online is now underway, which introduces the latest round of free new content for their science fiction MMORPG. They say: "It includes a long list of changes, many of which were prioritized and added with the help of the Council of Stellar Management, a representative group of EVE players elected by the playerbase to interact on their behalf with the CCP development team since 2008." Not content with that, they also announce plans to launch
EVE Online: Incursion version 1.0.1 on December 14 to "couple the removal of learning skills with another holiday gift for EVE players." They look beyond that further still, announcing version 1.0.2 will go live in mid-January, saying this will offer their new "stunningly realistic" character creator along with an upgrade to the
EVE Gate social networking platform for EVE players, and the following week: "a vengeance-fueled Sansha’s Nation will invade the EVE universe, causing chaos as pilots join together in twenty to forty person fleets to beat back the new 'Revenant' supercarriers, their fierce fighter bombers and the fleets at their command. Victors against these 'incursions' will reap tremendous rewards for their bravery." There is also an
interview on Ten Ton Hammer discussing the add-on with CCP's Noah Ward.
