It all depends on how many people / corps actually take part in PC. |

Its probably going to be a long while. There will need to be alot of tweaks to the PC system for the economy and for the way it works in general and the only way to know how that is going to go is once we get a little stability in the current PC system which we probably won't get for awhile since it will be attack attack attack. They will probably also want to really test the Eve/Dust link and tweak that as well.
I can see this going several months before anything more opens up. But then again, I am wrong alot. |

I don't think new Eden is ready for mercenarys yet. If it does open up, eve pilots will have control of the planets and us mercs will be hired by them to help defend the planet. Or hired to attack the planet. 1 district at a time. That's the whole goal by ccp. |

A good indicator is how often districts get attacked, if most of the districts are under attack most of the time, then that would be a sign that more space is needed.
This is the real key. CCP does not want it to get stale and have a large number of areas where people sit and get fat on thier iskies. They are trying to promote conflict by keeping the size small, while also the limited area works well as a good test-bed size before opening it up.
But I would not expect them to open up other areas until atleast a few weeks from now (and I expect much later then that) so that the fires from this round of Conquest settles down. Everyone is still sitting on a massive cash infusion from the asset redemption. |

There's nothing that changes in EVE of note even if all the other NPC regions get opened up, and they have said they can easily do it during DT.
It all depends on how many players join corps active in PC. |

Only starting in one region in low sec on temperate planets is a very small start. I doubt CCP wants to do much more until they can fine tune the basics, we have yet to see how people are actually going to conduct these wars and what new mechanics may have to be implemented. I for one don't mind a slow expansion, and keeping ready things on the backburner and waiting until more room is necessary to keep things stable.
I don't think they'll have a new region open up until they have new means of troop transportation long distances, as far as I can recall there are heavy costs just to move troops to nearby systems let alone a new region. This will likely all be part of a greater EVE-DUST integration and IMO would stop any new regions from being opened anytime soon (next 6 moths). They also are only using a small fraction of the actual planets in the region, so they could wait along time before spreading out and just spread up for the time being. I don't think they need a year to create new maps for new climates, and baring any general dying off or disinterest, the current PC set up could keep us occupied for quite awhile.
As for Null-Sec I think that will require even more EVE-DUST integration, and a much larger Dust Player base, I don't expect that for a few years. |

It will be insane, that at some point- every planet type in the entire dust universe will be either up for grabs or populated. Galaxies are vast places- while I think they should get the mechanic right enough to feel confident their game system is matured.
However, I don;t think they should handle it like a club and only open up what they can fill. Part of having a vast galaxy sandbox to play in is the ability to play in any part of it. Weaker corps could use remoteness as a pseudo defense at some point. |

While you have a point with the vast space part, gameplay in Dust will become stale if smaller corps have remote areas to themselves that they can just sit on to get ISK. Scarcity of land will create conflict that will fuel dust gameplay and eve/dust integraion. Every single district should be claimed, where the major corps can solidify their hold on a territory that they will hold no matter what. Smaller corps can battle each other for the outlying territories and creat a sort of border/frontier territory between big corps.
Of course, there is the possibility that the major corps will organize enough resources to expand until they are all touching each other. They could push out the smaller corps between them and another major corp, which could be a very real problem if they devide to declare war on each other. That would probably call for more space that some newbies can grab.

Scuttlebutt is that Khanid may be next. Most Temperate planets in low-sec, maybe even New Eden overall.
Plenty of land to build sand castles on. |

I'm in eve too. There is to be plenty of reason for a dust/eve player/corp to have a district. Especially as their roadmap comes to fruition.

I think PC will stay in the same molten hearth, or whatever it is called, area but simply add those none earth like planets...so i guess when they get around to adding new maps is when we will see PC expand. |
