Beloved CCP employee, there are a few questions I would like to ask. I intend to in no way be political or promote my hopes or expectations for the game, but merely ask on the offchance that you will help me satisfy my curiosity. Hence I will refrain from asking about any "particular" issues. Since the lastest live dev blog has been canceled, it has been a while since the players got a glimpse at what the devs are crafting in their forges. The questions that burn particularly on my mind are the following:
 What is currently being worked on besides new missions?
- What balance issues are being looked at?
Any official input will be *wub*-endorsed!  |

If this doesn't work create a 'disrespectful' alternate thread where you tell them to copulate with themselves if they don't answer.
That should cover all the bases.
Although, a tsundere thread, where you don't really care if they answer but wouldn't mind if they did, might also be helpful. |

A bit more than that if you ask me. Any CCP Employee reading that may need to have a cigarette afterward, if you catch my meaning.  |

Over the summer the team is focusing its attention on improving the EVE experience in a lot of ways. We're going to be doing a little bit more high profile explanations of what is going on behind the scenes as the summer progresses. It is safe to say at this time that we're going to see a lot of new missions, continued work on Premium Graphics support for Mac users, and a number of requested UI enhancements by the end of the season.
In addition the planning work is well underway for the Winter Expansion (as yet unnamed) which we'll be ready to talk about more at the start of Fall.

An improved UI? In my EVE?   Here's hoping for a functioning overview |

It's gotta be ambulation.
That wouldn't be much of a reveal since they've already (fairly) officially stated that ambulation will be on display and playtestable by the attendees. |

Excuse me for asking such an impertinent question but why work on a Mac version of Premium whilst the Windows version still has many unresolved issues? (just compare the number of posts in each of the "Client, Hardware and Software Issues and Resolutions" boards and also the number of posts related to crashes of the Windows client in other "help" forums)... The majority of Eve players use a Windows PC - I'm willing to bet there are VERY few people out there that use a Mac to game on (most Macs are used for design in offices), and I would imagine that the kind of people who do play Eve on one are likely to be able to and proabably do use Boot Camp to switch to Windows to play games due to the vast range of games supported on this format. tl/dr? - macs are not gaming machines, they're for graphic designers and people with insufficient intelligence to handle more than one mouse button. |

Because there are different mac and windows programmers, allowing them to do both at once? |

Because the same unresolved issues exist on the Mac client, and will be fixed in parallel (since the two are essentially the same). In the meantime, the lack of Premium content is a (long-)unresolved issue on the Mac and has gathered a lot of priority over time. Also, if you think there is any difference between an OSX PC and a Windows PC, you're living in the past… |

They shall add one minor improvement, like being able to move your shield/armor/hull indicator around.
That would actually be quite handy. |

I'm still hoping for a complete UI overhaul. I believe that CCP was working on a completely new UI with the Trinity 2 graphics engine. Let's hope that's still in the works.
Also, I can has multithreaded clientburger? *puppy eyes* |

Currently, a multithreaded server is pretty much impossible (EDIT: Not impossible but it would introduce a whole new load of issues that wouldn't happen with a single-thread server). I was under the impression that since much of the client is being rewritten in C++ they'd be able to multithread the client. Now that I'd want to be the guy(s) doing it, to be honest. Multithreaded code is hard as hell to do correctly. |
