CCP has announced the details of the next free expansion for EVE Online, entitled Quantum Rise. The expansion will be available for download on November 11th. What's included in this expansion? Here you go:

• The introduction of In-game Subscription Services. You can now convert your 60-day EVE Time Codes (ETCs) into two 30-day items in game. These “30-Day Pilot’s Licenses” can be traded freely through all regular means (via market or contract or directly between players) and can be activated at any time. This feature will be available on November 11th or shortly thereafter
• Assembly Array upgrades for those wanting to produce on a grand scale
• Alchemy allows moon materials to shift the whole landscape of Tech 2 production
• UI changes include a moveable HUD, module recharge timers and weapon grouping
• More efficient bomb production. Producers get more boom for their materials.
• Upgrades to the Trinity Premium graphics content for the ubiquitous stargates of New Eden
• A rebalancing of ship speeds for vessels of all sizes to rediscover their combat viability, making player vs. player strategy and tactics more important than ever
• 10 new beautifully haunting music tracks by EVE soundtrack composer RealX

Oh how I love EVE, but sadly I just don't have time for it anymore.

• A rebalancing of ship speeds for vessels of all sizes to rediscover their combat viability, making player vs. player strategy and tactics more important than ever

A speed nerf has been a long time coming... anyone have a specific list of the changes? I couldn't find anything after a quick search.

Kind of let down from the lack of real content... played around with the UI changes on the test server, and they're nice and all... was kind of hoping for more bang this time around. :/

Just to add, though, they are also adding Skill Certificate, custom Corporate Medals and a new Industrial Ship, the Orca.
