I went with AIL to the FC offices a couple of weeks ago and LE will be more than 'just' PvP.
* You'll have no new lvls added to the 220 lvls already ingame
* You'll be able to earn experience even if you're 220, (this will not be a new experience bar) this xp can be set to either yourself or your faction or both. The xp will be used to research new technology. For instance when the xp pooled for your faction reaches a certain point, new technology will be available for the people of that faction. Your own research will unlock equipment/skills.
* The mechs will not have requirements for equipping, so everyone will be able to use them without having to increase any skills
* You'll not be in the mechs all the time, it's an addition to the other forms you can be in
* You'll be able to solo aliens, and it's likely there'll be more content for soloing
* Will probably be released in the beginning of next year
as an aside
* Galactic gems (for Arul Saba bracelets) are not ingame, and will probably never make it as they're deemed too powerful.
After having heard some of the visions in regards to LE I went from pretty negative to pretty positive about the expansion. It's still quite a way off though.
