I just thought of something potentially brilliant.
If I'm right, feel free to "donate" some ISK my way - it will be much appreciated.
Anyway, on to my prediction.
*dons tin-foil hat, and prepares for the worst*
What if the next build is coming out tomorrow? What if this is it, and the devs are handing us the keys to everything early? The closest I've seen to anything being confirmed is that there will be "no SP reset" - which means we keep our SP. We might still lose all our stuff. We might still get our skill point ALLOCATION reset as well, which would mean that we keep out SP, but have to (or in some cases, GET to) reassign it.
What if this is just going to be a way to kick-start us into the new build after deleting all our gear?
Possible? I think so... |

Could be an AV experiment. There are a lot of complaints about vehicles in the field -so increase rewards and allow AV fits which at least for me tend not have a good rate of return to come in and fight. If I can have my forge gunner die a few times and still have it come out cash positive I will be more likely to risk it and chase the tanks. Lowered vehicle costs as compensation for the inevitably increased losses on the drivers side. |

defo this +1
CCP needs to test AV and Vehicle balance next build. How to do it? Give as much Vehicles as possible without breaking "red line". |

Well, along side that, I've been thinking this:
What if they're about to release pilot suits and fighters/bombers with this new build? Also with that would mean bigger maps.
The main thing I'm suspecting is the release of pilot suits. |

CCP usually gives us the Patch notes 2-3 days before the update. Usually it's on the weekend when they give the patch notes.
I believe that we will get the patch notes after thanksgiving. Meaning the build will come out next week. |

Good answers, everyone! Thanks for entertaining my slightly insane (ok... more than slightly) idea!
I particularly liked these two answers:

I'm a fan of this response because of how it seems like a much more rational take on things than my tinfoil-hat approach. Good work, and seems very logical and probably true.

And I liked this because it ties in with both my OP and the previous quote. It works with either possibility, and would be awesome either way.
Regardless of who's right and who's wrong (and we're probably ALL wrong), I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. |

I see this purely as a means getting more data on vehicles before the next update. Same as the tournament, a PR and data gathering exercise. |

I agree, data gathering/sensitivity analysis to help balance the game. Admittedly though I don't really need ISK...I'm sitting on over 7M and growing. I'm careful with my loadouts and they just don't take much ISK because half of my equipment/modules are AUR-variants. |
