Mobile Depots function as pseudo-base camps even out in deep space by allowing you to store items and refit your ship. In addition to highsec Custom’s Offices, players will also be able to create a number of new mobile structures designed around allowing players to obtain a greater degree of autonomy. If a rival corporation is constantly undercutting you, making their planets more desirable to set-up industry on, maybe it’s time to declare war, blow up their custom offices and set up your own. ![]() ![]() Not only does this allow players another source of income, it also represents increased opportunity for trade competition and conflict. Players can now destroy the existing custom offices and install a structure of their own. Custom’s Office’s control the flow of resources to and from a planet, and most importantly represent a flow of income from the taxes and tariffs to said goods. Players will also for the first time, be able to take control of custom’s offices in high security space, previously only capable in lower security zones. This cleverly forces players to trade between themselves or travel to new areas. The whole set of blueprints will also be spread out across the universe, ensuring that players will need to trade between the various sectors and types of space in EVE, high-security, wormhole, etc. While heavily defended, and willing to even self-destruct rather than give up their secrets, these sites will offer a valuable selection of new blueprints, including items not previously available for crafting.

Like other EVE expansions, they all roll out at a steady march to further goals, with the features of Rubicon being the first steps towards a bigger and better EVE sandbox.Īt Fanfest this year, Senior Producer Andie Nordgren laid out the future and path for the next several expansions, with the long term goal being players capable of controlling more and making greater decisions in the sandbox, up to eventually expanding out of the known EVE universe with player-created gates. Likewise, the focus of Rubicon in EVE: Online is about the capsuleers, players, taking even more control of the EVE universe, and in-turn weakening the existing empires. ![]() The expansion is named for an otherwise fairly innocuous river in Italy, most famous for coining the phrase “crossing the Rubicon.” If you’re curious, the origin comes from Julius Caesar’s military crossing the river and is synonymous with going past a point of no return. A couple of days back I got the chance to sit down with a few of the fine folks at CCP Games, over the magic of the internet, to get the rundown on EVE: Online‘s latest free and 20th expansion – Rubicon. ![]()
