Sure realism is... well realistic but we can only hope that CCP takes this chance to bring to the table what they say they are capable of, at this point we are sitting on the EVE of next gen games and consoles, players will move towards them, slowly but surely. Fully realised games will keep the crowds, Dust 514 may not be able to drawn the players back without some significant advancements into EVE/Dust Connection, core content releases, fleshed out and fully realised modes of gameplay.

this is why i think there will be a dust expansion in november
just like EVE dust probably has a summer/winter expansion
:p

Too bad we've heard the devs refer to the update, "Uprising 1.8" which would be in January. Unless they are playing us, and Uprising 1.6 is really [New Expansion] 1.0, and Uprising 1.8 is really [New Expansion 1.2]. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Doesn't really seem worth it does it?!

They were never scheduled for 1.5, but they're still on our to do list.

We're still working out the contents of the 1.6 release in light of the changes we had to make to 1.5. We are continuing to work on updates for the weapons/vehicles and we'll let you know when to expect them once our plans are finalized.

This is mostly directed to CCP employees but if someone from the community have heard some things or like to contribute to this topic, please fell welcome as always .
I have a general question about the delayed content from 1.5 to patch 1.6. You decided to move the vehicle and weapon content probably till the next patch. Now that you have a little more time, can we now expect to see our vehicles lockable? Like Public, Squad, Private? Can we assume to see the stuff from 1.5 AND newer stuff (one part of the original 1.6) in 1.6? Or are you planning to give us mostly the things you moved from originally 1.5 to 1.6? How big if the amount of work you need to balance the original vehicle and weapon content of 1.5? I know it is hard to measure but IGÇÖm just trying to understand the whole range.

The reason IGÇÖm asking all this is very simple: The November patch is probably going to be the last (and sadly the very most exiting) for me.

PS: Two friends of me are buying a PS4 without owning a PS3, they are asking about Dust. IGÇÖm just leaving this here ...

We were never getting vehicle locks in 1.5 anyway.

Also who says we will see anything vehicle wise in 1.6, not Wolfman.
In fact he hints that we will not see 1.5 stuff till maybe 1.7 or later.

But lets all hope he is just trolling.

Well considering how far along 1.6 and is almost currently done before testing phases was when they found out 1.5 couldn't handle it, it would make sense to start scheduling it for 1.7 which would probably be the earliest logistical patch to squeeze it in.

So with one set of features moving 1.5 vehicle patch turned into 1.5 NPE patch.

What is NPE? So IWS I'm sorry if I don't understand you, are you saying that the 1.6 stuff is coming in 1.6 and that the delayed stuff from 1.5 maybe moved to 1.7?
