Why this name ?

So I guess CCP see this as a start of something. I am little skeptical about these things, being a bitter old vet and all that, so&nbsp; we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see where that will go.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the new features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New Sisters Of Eve faction ships. These look very cool, with bonuses for scanning and hacking. <strong>DO WANT !<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Space vacuum cleaner \u00e2\u20ac\u201c A deployable unit that will tractor all your wrecks and leave them in&nbsp; a convenient pile to be salvaged later. Sounds very&nbsp; handy !<\/li>\n<li>New missile launcher that will do Battleship type DPS but will also do decent against smaller targets. Sounds very handy for doing Sleeper sites. And it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good to have a new&nbsp; weapon.<\/li>\n<li>Pocos&nbsp; (custom offices for PI) in HiSec&nbsp; will be destructible and can be player owned. &#8211; Not sure this is a good idea. It will be a nuisance for new players and members of smaller corporations to get into PI, probably the pocos will be owned by larger alliances, leaving&nbsp; the little guy in the dust.<\/li>\n<li>Depot \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Sort of a mobile POS. Nice to invade wormholes and the like. Maybe we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see one in our own hole and we can destroy it <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout\" style=\"border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none\" alt=\"Smile with tongue out\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sobaseki.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png\"\/>.<\/li>\n<li>Twitch integration \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Very interesting addition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Caesar Crossing the Rubicon\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Caesar Crossing the Rubicon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sobaseki.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/CaesarCrossingtheRubicon.jpg\" width=\"512\" height=\"380\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Those are the ones that I remember now right&nbsp; off the bat and that&nbsp; seemed the&nbsp; most interesting. The warp speed and interceptor&nbsp; changes don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do much for me, but might be&nbsp; cool for other people.<\/p>\n<p>All in all a nice list of features. With only about 2 months away (it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be released on Nov 19th), it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more than I was expecting.
