Absolutely nothing new in any of the interviews.

Higgles was very mum this time through.

Well, we learned that SOE is going to be creating missions before we get to.

Bummer.

Not much sense to include a mission system when no one is the equivalent of CR5 for a bit, no?

I'm more concerned with the "oh, wow, 2 months in and this game is great, and now every douchebag knows about it!" and said douchebags flood the commander chairs to set sail for fail.

I see the handover to be a very messy endeavor.

So implants will be exclusively acquired using Station Cash? I did not know this.

Nothing really new here, I just find it incredible that E3 is almost exactly two months away and according to Luperza aka @PurrfectStorm we are all going to DIIIIEEEEEEEE!! IRL.

No no, what it sounds like to me is the XP boosts sold in the shop will actually have to be slotted into an Implant slot to work.

So you have to give up an Implant slot to get the boost. Which I think is a GREAT idea personally.

The Implants themselves (like grenades, medpacks, ect.) can only be purchased with the ingame resources and not with station cash.

That is how I understood it also. Which to me sounds very hopeful as it would show that they are not trying to force their cashshop as much on players like most F2P games tend to do. Still that is only one aspect, so I will wait and see what else will show up in the shop.

Its an automated system that creates missions. At least that was the plan. Dont think it has been changed, its more like the Interviewer fucked up.
