Eve Online, CCP Games' nearly 10-year-old massively multiplayer online role-playing game, will receive its 19th expansion, Odyssey, on June 4, the developer announced today at PAX East.

The update will include a revamped scanning mechanic, user interface tweaks and hidden locations among the ever-expanding game's 7,929 solar systems.

Polygon spoke to Jon Lander, executive producer of Eve Online, at PAX East about the expansion and how CCP aims to entice new and old players alike with its components.

Lander framed Odyssey as a continuance of the game's evolution, which is tied to its roots.

"Really, 2012 was about getting the foundations in place for a second decade, and Odyssey will be the the first step in that. It's taking is back to our roots, taking us back to when people first came into the game in 2003 and there's this huge expanse of the unknown," he said. "People never really knew what was out there. Were things dangerous? Were they scary? What would they get? What would they lose? Is there going to be some pirate around the corner who's going to get me?

"Over the years, it's either become harder to get into it, or people have discovered it all and it's no longer exciting —there's no longer a sense of the unknown."

CCP's user interface tweaks are perhaps the best example of the developer's attempt to retain the old, foster the new and satisfy both crowds. The work began about 18 months ago, when CCP rewrote a new backend engine for the UI.

"The UI has been likened to spreadsheets in space, or whatever," he said, "and it's looking a bit dated.

"One of the unique and interesting challenges of having a 10-year-old game is, we've seen in the past when we just removed something that a lot of our players are very used to and replace it with something else, that's a very dangerous way to go. You've got to be very, very sure of yourself. We had a good examples last year where we got that balance wrong.

"So, listening to the feedback from our players — listening to what they're telling us — we've started reintroducing these concepts now, and introducing these new graphical elements using this new rendering path in addition to what we already have."

Eve Online will continue this graphical shift over the next several releases, he said. Those who like "spreadsheets in space" will have what they want. And the developer hopes that the graphical changes will welcome new players in.

Odyssey will also redistribute, rebalance and add new ships. The idea, Lander said, is to take something old and make it new again.

"When you think about all of the great science fiction ... it's all about 'What is it?' What's going on? I don't know what's going on, and I love that feeling of discovery.'

"Odyssey is really about enabling our players to do that."

Welp, just got ganked for the first time. I was only trying to pick up a skillbook, but there was someone camping the station when I left. Feelsbadman.jpg

**Tekki** · 2013-03-26 07:19

Really? Know how to post the killmail?

**Tekki** · 2013-03-26 07:22

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboar...hp?id=19199972 nevermind found it. .4 space, ya that will do it

**NotGreyheim** · 2013-03-26 07:29

Yeah, I've since learned about the numbers that appear next to a location's name and how to check them before traveling there... Also about filtering market searches.

First encounter (I guess he then came back, which lead to the one you posted). Looks like the losses were pretty even. Insurance + bounty payout are more than enough to get another Cat, but I'm not sure yet if I'm gonna just replace it or save for something better.

**Purrrfect** · 2013-03-26 11:19

Damn this thread for making me resub...

**NotGreyheim** · 2013-03-26 11:47

One of us! One of us!

**Daemonxel** · 2013-03-26 13:06

Ok we really need a in game blue garter channel to hit each other up. Oh and we now in war2 at the same time with neutral alt rappers. Their destruction shall be glorious

**Synbios** · 2013-03-26 13:43

There is a channel 'bluegartr' that a few people are in. I wont stick my main in there because ~opsec~

Oh and as a reminder:

http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/74234

These changes are going to be happening during Odyssey so make sure you have all those skills trained to leach that free SP. (sadly I've had frig 5, cruiser 5, destroyers 5 and BC 5 trained for all races for a few years now, no free SP for me).

**Daemonxel** · 2013-03-26 13:51

Opsec pfft we all know your the ldr of goon =p

hahah no way. I'm in Black Legion but I just don't want my main known. My cap/super cap pilot is in the bluegartr channel though(which i guess should be more ~opsec~ given she flys my nyx).

Well I will hang in the channel, its always good to catch up with you guys and to have contacts across the universe

**Purrrfect** · 2013-03-28 12:16

So a couple noob questions:
Is there a way to invert the ass-backwards zoom in/out using the mouse wheel?
What does pinning a window do besides make it more transparent? They still apparently can be moved.

I got on my old pilot but he only had about 2.5m sp, mostly in mining. I don't really want to have an alt just yet, but I know its going to be slow on skills as I'm interested in the manufacturing side but I do like mining and ratting as well. Haven't ever done any pvp, solo or fleet.
