EVE Online's update named 'Tyrannis' will be released on May 18, a new trailer for CCP's spacefaring MMO reveals, to add new features including planet harvesting.

The update's planetary content will begin paving the way for the eventual release of DUST 514, CCP Shanghai's Unreal Engine 3-powered Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 multiplayer shooter actually set on planets in--and affecting--the EVE Online universe.

To fill in the lay-person: The last expansion broke fleet combat as the servers can't handle numbers above ~300 per system. That expansion, which focused on the capture of territory, forces all fights to occur in the defenders timezone. The consequence is that attackers get weeks of gameplay in off-hours only. Also, the UI and other critical game components are ancient.

And the developer spent weeks developing static factories on planets that slowly crap out resources. So.... yeah. If it sounds wicked complex and exciting, it's only sounds that way.

I always see this game advertised all over the place, but I've never once played it or even checked out the game's website. Anyone want to fill me in on what I have or haven't been missing?

I bought EVE a long time ago, but then declined to play it because of the monthly fee. I envy people who just get their parents to pay for their 12 a months WoW fee.

I still play EVE. I can't ever seem to stay away enough to fully cancel, especially since my mining efforts help cover the monthly cost.

As someone kind of interested in Dust 514, I'm wondering, does anyone else think it'll have PS3-360 cross-platform play? Cause I'd love that.

So... there will be a more action-oriented game for the consoles which will take place on the planets in EVE online... and it will actually communicate with the EVE online servers and effect the PC MMO?! That is one of the coolest ideas I've heard in gaming in a while. That's a wild idea... there is a ton of potential there. I've actually thought about stuff like this in my head in a "wouldn't it be cool?" kind of way... I didn't realize somebody was actually working on it.
