CCP senior producer revealed in his dev blog that the next major update to the game, Apocrypha 1.5 will be released in August.

This update will focus on factional warfare improvements. CCP is going to introduce Loyalty Points (LP) for kills and captures, and each militia will have its own LP store where militia players can cash in for items unique to that faction.

Other highlight including introduction of several Level 4 epic mission arcs to specific races in New Eden. And the specialized cargo holds to black Ops battleships. Rigs will be offered in different sizes, with frigate and cruiser sized rigs introduced to the game.
