Not that cloaks won't be cool, but they're going to be buggy as hell, and we have enough bugs already, that have been around for too long.
Please, CCP, check some of these SOON(tm) items off the list!
- Terrain Fixes: Little hills and bumps should not bring my power armor to a dead stop, nor should a six inch step, nor an invisible wall. Also, there are now too few good sniping positions.
- Full Racial Load-Outs: All suits (PILOT SUITS!) and guns for all races would be far, far more exciting than a gimmicky new piece of equipment
- Matchmaking: A team of newberries vs. proto-stomping squads is not fun for either side
- FW and PC Enhancements: Players need more incentive to engage in these modes (more diverse items in the FW store?). At the very least, it would give people something to use their proto fits on rather than, again, ruining hisec/pub matches.
- Make Lowsec Count: Friendly fire is a good start, but there should be benefits and consequences to playing in low and nullsec, just like in EVE.
- Fully Mappable Controls: Please. Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease with iskies on top.
- PvE and Training Maps: There are a lot of things in Dust that aren't easy to learn while you're being shot at. Call it QQing if you like, but if someone starting Dust for the first time decides they want to be a pilot, for example, they're going to have a very bad time.
- Hit Through Cover: I've been killed while fully behind and under cover, and this is, I think, a pretty big problem.
- Glitches: 1.7 unleashed more glitches than I've seen since beta, I'm sorry to say. I'm sure their reports are all over the forums, but there is a lot to be fixed before you go trying new, game-breaking things.
- Weapon Tweaks: The laser rifle, mass driver, and swarm launcher are currently largely irrelevant. Specifically, the laser rifle needs to increase DPS with tier, the mass driver's splash is now too small, and the swarm launcher, while I support it being weak against tanks, needs to be faster to make it useful against LAVs and dropships instead. Also, it would be very nice to have a way to improve grenade fuse time. 4 or 0 seconds are not enough options.
- Vehicles: more types, more tiers, more races
- Cosmetics: EVE's character creater, at the very least. Customisation options for suits and weapons would be utterly amazing.
In short, CCP, the cloak is the last thing we need right now. There is so much more, between what needs to be fixed, and what has been promised, that I'd much, much rather see you deliver on.
Death is a learning experience. I just wish I wasn't such a slow learner. >.<

If you have problems with PC, suits, vehicle, or map people, than take it up with the PC, suit, vehicle, and map teams, not the team that is actually giving us something new and interesting.
I don't assume that at all. What I've seen, prior to CCP Rouge coming on, is that new toys coming out get prioritised (seemingly) over fixing existing problems, or features that have been promised since beta.
With all of the teams currently reevaluating their processes, I think this is a good time to give them an idea of what's important to us.

At this point in time I suggest that perhaps finishing off the basics, getting the new in and having a big stack of bugs to fix should be the priority. Although we complain about the bugs we have less of them than before and that is because while working on implementing new stuff the Dev team takes some time to fix stuff that they can. This makes our games better and gives them more time to make new stuff. The world is still rotating, no need to worry about one little snow storm in an otherwise sunny world.
I've tried to list only, as you say, the basics and the bugs. If there are things in the list that you don't think are part of the core of what we need in Dust right now, please point them out so I can remove them.

I know we aren't supposed to make lists, I know.
Coming back to this, the topic title sounds whiny, too.
All I want to do is add to whatever discussions CCP and CPM0 might be having as to their current and future priorities, so please, folks.
Tell me what I missed.
Tell me what I have in the list that isn't important or immediate.
But also, tell me if you agree.
I need a break from Dust! I'll just go hop on the forums...
