MMORPG.com's got the latest on EVE and what's in store for the near future:

Looming most closely on the horizon is Empyrean Age 1.1 set to release in September, this update is focused on small comments, suggestions and details that needed to be addressed. While there may not be too many obvious changes, there should be, "small things that have changed here and there that will hopefully make your life a whole lot easier."

On the heels of EA 1.1 will be EA 1.2, which will make up for the lack of obvious content by bringing in new missions, and a new certificate system that will allow players to actually produce credentials (like a university degree or diploma) that proves to other players what skills your player possesses. Not only is it good for this use, we are told, but it also gives newer players something to work toward in terms of their skill advancement.

After this, we will be introduced to December's as-yet-unnamed expansion. This new addition will be focused primarily on industry. The team has been looking at making management and production of industry easier to understand, new possibly ship types and the like.
