So... Eve Online has announced their winter expansion for November 19th, and on that page is an impressive list of new features, new content, and a future vision for Eve.
Are we going to get a similar announcement, or are we just going to get another point release bug fix? |

I'm not looking for the content being introduced in Eve to copy over to Dust, I'm just wondering if we're going to be getting a winter expansion announcement sometime soon. |

See, that would bring Eve and Dust closer together, and we can't have that. |

We are supposed to be getting a winter expansion... supposedly
I'm keeping my expectations low and waiting for a point release bug fix patch, so if it does turn out that we're getting new content, I'll seem happier by comparison. |

Can't say I'm holding my breath for a blue post, but I'm kinda surprised that this fell into the abyss that is page 2 so quickly. |

The S.O.E. ships that are probably useless will look cool when docked.
And the alteration of existing numbers on existing ships can potentially be fun...ish.
I don't think this really makes an expansion though. I don't think CCP knows what an expansion actually is. I think it's just become another buzzword around the office they use.
Expansions to games do not possess such an incredibly small amount of content. Apocrypha? That was an expansion. Trinity was a sight to behold.
This stuff? Not an expansion. Just a patch with a few cool things that most people will never use.
You forgot the new deployable structures, the tearing down of hisec NPC customs offices, reworked certification system (new player experience), and the allusion to the buffing of small gang warfare tactics, in addition to the other things they have yet to tell us about ("more to be revealed in the coming weeks").
The main point I intended to bring up with this post is that CCP Eve has released a list of new content and changes to the public months before any of it is actually being implemented. Eve is getting new toys to play with and new mechanics to abuse, while we're sitting here not knowing what's in store for early October (save the ever-popular squad finder). There's not even a hint at what our winter expansion (provided we actually get one and it's not another point release bug fix) will bring to Dust, while Eve is attempting to hype up its playerbase for new content months down the road. |
