The cargo rocket at the end is really cool!
meh , we a need a little longer video
cargo rocket or BALLISTIC MISSILE
Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981

i hope is a nuke because CCP said the ultimate way to deal whit other player structure on a planet are nukes
BestSigEver :P
Not sure what to think of this trailer, but im hoping we this will involve DUST 514 and we can get some more info on it.
This is the dev blog by CCP t0rfifrans about the new expansion found here
What‘s in the package?
For a long time we have had people asking us for more options to build up their own infrastructure. It‘s something that comes up frequently at Fanfest, in past CSMs and during casual conversations with players. There seems to be some deep Freudian desire to erect something monumental. To make stuff. To create something new. At last Fanfest we announced our plans to allow you, the pod-pilots of New Eden, to shift your foci away from the heavens for a moment, onto the planets. In Dominion, we gave the planets a facelift, updating the graphics with beautiful landscapes, awe inspiring deserts, peaceful Ewok-friendly green worlds and violent burning lava fields. But that was just eye candy, right? Well, not quite. In our upcoming expansion, Tyrannis, ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS.
OMG did you say all of the planets!?
That‘s right, you will finally be able to survey for juicy deposits of minerals and other goodies, build infrastructure to harvest them, store them, process them and launch them into space. Build complex networks of facilities and fine tune them for optimal production. All in a very massive single shard sandboxy way as only EVE can provide. And it‘s not just the terran planets. It‘s ALL OF THEM. The gas giants, the lava planets, the ice worlds, the water worlds and even the elusive plasma planets. Each type with their unique properties. Maintaining facilities on gruesomely hostile planets will be tougher and more demanding, but the rewards may be so much more “onturning.”
More will be revealed in upcoming blogs and on our test server, Singularity. Make note however that Singularity is a test server, primarily intended for testing of code in development and nothing is final until it hits Tranquility. All graphics, UI, balancing and mechanics are subject to change, iteration and polish...
Is there combat on planets?
No, not in this expansion. This expansion is about exploration and industry. When something goes bad or breaks it is because of the owner‘s mismanagement, and when things are awesome and perfect, it is because of skill and hard labor on part of the player that runs the facilities.
In future expansions you will be able to project military force for attack and defense of planetary installations. That will be where DUST 514 will connect with EVE. But DUST 514 will not be coming out at the same time as Tyrannis, so that is at a later date.
EVE Gate
In September last year, a devblog by CCP Caedmon introduced our new Web Frontend into EVE Communication codenamed COSMOS. It was later branded "New Eden". In the agile spirit of CCP, we have since renamed it and decided on the final name which is EVE Gate, which makes sense because it is your gate into EVE. Clever, eh?
EVE Mail, Calendar and Contacts
EVE Gate will allow you to interact with EVE through a regular web browser. At first, we are giving you communication and collaboration tools. You will be able to access your EVE Mail through a browser, we are adding a calendar both in-game and out of game and are upgrading and streamlining our contacts and standings system. There is also a system for posting updates for players, corporations and alliances. More details on those changes will follow in blogs to be released in the coming weeks. EVE Gate is a foundation which we are architecting in a way that allows us to build deeper interaction with the game itself in future iterations.
Overall improvements
We are working on other optimizations and improvements throughout the game, as usual with our expansions. A task force is working on reducing fleet fight lag, often working deep into the night chasing action around on TQ, while another team is developing an advanced simulation environment for load testing on our local servers.
There is a sense of excitement in the air here at CCP. Today our development teams finished the first of their three week sprints, ending in a demo where we saw parts of the both the planetary feature and EVE Gate already running, with mocked up UI and graphics. Our engineers, artists and designers are deeply committed to continue to deliver a compelling EVE experience to all of our players, deepening the game with exciting new functionality while iterating, polishing and improving existing systems and code. We truly look forward to delivering Tyrannis to you. Soon.
FFS CCP!
Release a new dev blog or at least the full version of the trailer!
*rabbletabblerabble*
You should log into the test server.
I was told by a few buddies that the PI features on test are pretty cool
Alot better to jump on there than wait on a trailer.
Playing: Rift, LotRO
Waiting on: GW2, BP
Yea, test server is no where near ready to re-sub yet.
I do keep reading the test server forums...
In anycase, we are WAY over due a blog, or something new that I can read
Eve online Tranny's edition....sounds interesting
...Ohhhh Tyrannis, silly me
I was disappointed by this also
Give me liberty or give me lasers
Its also very similar the ship, Taranis... which at first I thought thats what the expansion was called...
But I want to RABBLERABBLERABBLE Again.. at the fact there is STILL no more dev blogs and its been nearly two weeks now...

When they keep saying all the planets, do they mean low, null, and WH space? If so, I like it even more : )
Yes! WH Planets also which will make Wspace more interesting and more productive.
Tbh I'm still pondering the effects of the insurance/minerals rebalance devblog, since from what I can understand, that is going to be way more economically significant than Planetary Interaction.
Give me liberty or give me lasers
mate, if you ponder such things then you will go insane as surly if you ponderd infinate time and space.
Currently you can buy minerals, build a battleship, insure it and blow self destruct it to profit 5million ISK, I cant begin to comprehend the whole market balancing which produces such results, but I know it needs fixing.
CCP have access to data that we will never see, so rather than trying to comprehend it, I just need to accept it.
I do accept it. I'm in favour of it. I suggested it!
What I'm interested in is whether I should sell my Hulk, should I sell my carriers, should I buy Nocxium...
