The first installment of the three-part expansion will feature the Noctis and various improvements.

CCP announced a couple weeks ago that the first installment of EVE Online's Incursion expansion will launch on Nov. 30, but the team just confirmed it again and provided some extra details. According to the post, Incursion 1.0.0 will feature "a new salvaging ship, the Noctis, a vast number of player-requested improvements and fixes as well as important server-side optimizations." Check out the patch notes and Incursion site for more information.

The second part of the Incursion launch will occur on Dec. 14, which is when learning skills will be removed. The key features of the expansion, such as the Incarna Character Creator and Sansha Incursions, will be implemented in January 2011.
