With every expansion comes great changes, I don't think there has ever been a boring time as far as updates and patches go with EVE. Not to mention the pure new content updates. This next expansion, Odyssey, will bring some interesting changes in the industrial part of the game imo. my corp is preparing for the changes as of last month. The last couple updates did change things with ships but the last expansion didn't really mess with them all that much, however you did see the addition of some new ones along side some fixes for others.
