EVE Online Apocrypha Expansion Content Revealed in AT6
It is now on the 6th day of the Alliance Tournament. CCP said during the live Alliance PvP Tournament broadcast-- hints about some major changes to the game that may be coming in the Apocrypha expansion.
Perhaps the biggest hint came from CCP Fear, who mentioned that character re-specs (specifically, attribute re-specs) may be implemented in the future. "Take this with a grain of salt the size of a hamster for the time being; it was only mentioned very briefly, and there hasn't been any further mention of this from CCP Games beyond Fear's comment during the tournament."
CCP Chronotis also made an appearance in between the PvP matches, and noted that flying the Apocrypha expansion's modular Tech III ships may come with some real consequences -- a character may actually lose Tech III-specific skillpoints when they lose a ship in combat. Or, in other words, as your ship is vaporized, so is some of the knowledge you've gained of how to pilot it. Another angle on this may be that a player's affinity for piloting that particular configuration dies with the ship.
As with the aforementioned attribute re-spec option, the devs are still working out the game mechanics and are subject to changes, or even outright removal. Dev blogs on these and other features will be coming out in the coming weeks leading up the March 10th Apocrypha expansion launch.
