Howdy [H] and other EVE dwellers 
I thought it would be due time to start up a fresh thread about EVE with its newest expansion coming out in December. The Apocrypha thread can be found here - http://www.hardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1401459 If your new to EVE or thinking of giving it a try, that thread has tons of very useful information to help you get started.
This thread will be a continuation of the Apocrypha thread, so anything EVE related, feel free to discuss here.
Dominion is the newest chapter in the EVE Online game, due out early December. For those of us who recently started playing EVE or have been playing for several months, the Dominion expansion wont change much of what we already see and play with our gaming experience. This expansion is, for the most part, geared to change how business and faction warfare is conducted in 0.0 space. Though, there will be some modest changes to the graphics which we all will get to experience, such as the Planets. Each one will be unique and visually stunning.
To date, everything in 0.0 space, from faction warfare to territorial control of systems was all labeled under the name "Sovereignty" If you are relatively new to the game, you might be wondering, WTH is Sovereignty?
Dominion is basically changing how the actual mechanics of Sovereignty was played out, to put it in a nutshell.
To myself, this Dominion expansion sounds pretty cool. But I also know that to other EVE players who have been playing in 0.0, Sovereignty has been their way of life ingame. EVE will change for them, so I can respect there's going to be some upset people with Dominion.
With this expansion, I had wondered if, somehow, someway, the change would have an impact on items in the marketplace. Then I read about how these stations or POS (player owned station/structure) use "fuel" to run them. That fuel being moon minerals of sorts. Obviously, these minerals are mined from moons which these POS' have "Sovereignty" over. So, there is no doubt, there are lots of people who's income came from the mining of this ore/mineral and its eventual sell upon the market.
So, will the Dominion expansion have an impact on the market? I would have to say, eventually, yes. Will it be a negative or positive, Hmmm, I dunno. I can see it having a trickle down effect in some areas of the market right off....but then, I can also see how it could eventually sway prices across the board....eventually anyways. I dont think things will get to out of hand though. I just think that with some items, their price will definately go up, but at the same time, other items will also change and become cheaper to buy. In actuality, when it comes right down to it, the market is always changing anyways. Items are always constantly changing prices, cheaper here, more expensive there. The main change will be the type of item.
All in all, Im looking forward to Dominion. Here are some of those new planet graphics we will get from the expansion. I know graphics aren't everything, but their still cool
Check out that Horizon!!!!
Very Nice. I like the cloud swirl.
Excellent....Looks like city lights and streets.
Cool lookin lakes!!!

- Sovereignty - supreme and independent power or authority in government as possessed or claimed by a state or community.
Dominion is basically changing how the actual mechanics of Sovereignty was played out, to put it in a nutshell.
- Dominion - a territory constituting a self-governing commonwealth and being one of a number of such territories united in a community of nations, or empire
- No sovereignty levels. You either have sovereignty or you do not.
- A new module will be introduced that allows an alliance to 'plant a flag' in a system.
- "Infrastructure": This is going to be a major aspect of sovereignty moving forward. Alliances will need to keep stargates running in systems they hold. This means alliances will need to focus more on building up their infrastructure and really tapping the potential of their held space, rather than going Manifest Destiny on New Eden. There will be three broad types of infrastructure -- military, economic, and industrial.
- Dominion will balance out the relative 'value' of space, as the income alliances gain from sovereignty is less about having a much-coveted location and more about the investment of time, money, and effort to make that space lucrative.
- "Dominion Tools": EVE will get a Sovereignty Dashboard of sorts, which will give alliance directors up-to-the-minute information about what is happening in the solar systems claimed by the alliance. CCP also says that "you will be able to see where the efforts of your alliance are going, what areas of space are being developed and how you as a member, director, or executor might help."
