Correctly colored suits; both in the dropsuit menu AND in the warbarge. Caldari suits are boring and grey( GREY!? THAT'S THE COLOR PALLETE YOU CHOOSE!?) And the different variants you could get from each dropsuit class, much like the rare salvaged weapons.

the old turret installations - not to replace new ones just for variety
being crushed by dropships - it took more skill than murder taxis !
Trainspotter said damaging MCC with Railguns - 2 guys with swarms could dps same as a nullcannon :-)
Skirmish 1.0 for sure - progressive battles like that NEED to come back
Being able to zoom out the overview map - to see the scale of battles to come
Vehicles being a challenge for my swarms - I can barely remember dropships, but they were once upon a time
SMGs being beast with sharpshooter - assault swarm SMG was like a commando with assaults speed and agility :-)
the old AR scopes
BPOs costing 10-15 AUR ;-)
Heavies standing ground and popping HAVs with HMG

You did say things we missed, you didn't say anything about them not being game-breaking lol
and yeah all the old maps, just for some variety, I know we've got all this funky socket system now but can't they just throw some of the old basic ones back into rotation for now ?

also : Proper General Discussion threads - like this one :-)

Edit : I also miss the majority having comms, or at least having it active to hear what was going on and not individual squads of 4 or 6 talking to each other with no clue what the rest of the team is doing or planning.

not AV weapons , AV instalations , the rail gun instalation to be correct , it was the best against MCC

experimental rifle?

sounds....interesting..

quafe suit being pink!
old LAV controls. what's that? a little bump? *zoom!* 10 feet in the air.
Scout vk.0 with 3 high 3 low
Having the vk.1/B/type II suits
My Logi with complex damage mods, kincats, and a repper with a viziam laser
^ kincats making you fire faster
sniper headshots doing 195% damage.
STD tactical sniper rifle able to kill with a headshot without damage mods
Suits increasing base health with increased level

Combine with chassis mods and nitrous and you literally became an airborne vehicle, I once managed to get 8 seconds, I repeat 8 seconds of air time with those, I also managed to jump an LAV clear up onto the roof of C on line harvest, straight up next to the null cannon, didn't even touch the slope.




God, I miss both of those things, I used to end up backtracking as fast as I could, cursing into the mike when that happened, and you couldn't get angry because the heavy+HMG was built for that engagement range. A good heavy could mow through an entire squad if he was good enough, you can still do it now but it's much much harder, not to mention all the proto suits you have to know through.

And I really miss the chrome laser's, IMO barring the viziams broken damage they were near perfect, I used to use the standard LR with sharpshooter 3 (I had the elm but didn't see the pint in using it), with good positioning I could lock down an entire area, need to stop reddots crossing from A to B on MP? I'll just sit up on that rock spire with a good field of fire, anyone lacking cover or who was too slow was going down.

I used to love duelling with viziam users, that's another thing I miss, the LR duels of the last couple of weeks in chromosome. The amount of times I took down a proto using a viziam was huge, and I got a huge rush of satisfaction every single time, good times.
