With bringing in Apocrypha 1,5 CCP does not only want to eliminate problems and improve the game balance, but also add new functions. It will then give marine equipments (Rigs) in three sizes (small, medium, large), which differ in the costs and their achievement. With specialized cargo holds and fuel tanks for Black Ops Battleships and further ship types the transport of goods through New Eden shall get a new trick. Later one also special cargos for ammunition, cattle and other one shall be added - they seize more, but are limited on a sort freight.
In addition there will be new level 4 Epic Arcs missions for all four parliamentary groups - and thus extending Eve Online about new exciting stories. In the war that was introduced with Empyrean Age between the parliamentary groups (" Factional Warefare") become prospective starting from Apocrypha 1,5 points of loyalty (" LP") also for firings and captures will be assigned. You can use this point to buy new stuff in the so called "Loyalty POINT Stores".
In the official prequel of Apocrypha 1,5 it means that the mini extension is presumably published in the middle of August 2009. Development for the announced next large extension in winter is in progress too. To contents so far it was only betrayed that it will deal about the sovereignty in the Eve universe. The accessible space stations (" walking in stations") will be introduced somewhat later. The extensions of Eve on-line are contained in the subscription price and do not have to be specially paid.
The Eve Online team shares its work according to own announcements the half in maintenance and the other half to advancement of the game itself. Meanwhile Eve Online exists of 650.000 lines source code, compared to 280.000 lines for the start. " There is a quantity to maintain and thus to rework" , said by the senior producer Torfi Frans Olafsson.
