Hotfix Echo, will hopefully fix the pistol rampage and maybe alter the ADS futher or more balancing of vehicles,
Balance on the ground is decent bar tanked scouts and confused logistics players so those could be looked at
Overall I hope Rattati focuses on balancing to a suitable level, and if possible break the chain for
- Hotfix Fun... strange concept around here but it's seriously lacking in current gameplay so..
Numerous features that 'could' be Hotfixable or require relatively small updates to improve gameplay
- Team Deploy -
This could be impossible due to balancing issues and activity but I would like to hear why this is not done.
One method to do it would be stage it at certain times in FW servers eg. 17.00 teams register for FW, by
18,00 the teams deploy... could be repeated at later times to suit international activity so..
(R)17.00-18.00(D) 20.00-21.00//23.00-00.00//02.00-03.00 or whichever times suit/available
(R)Register-Deploy(D) . This saves CCP having to run a constant team deploy feature while giving us
access to using it during certain hours or days of the week depending what they could set up... 0o??
- Game Modes -
Amb/Skr/Dom.... again... and again and again.... with maps that are set up to lose from one side..??
You can see why this really kills gameplay and it is something that could be sorted without even adding anything.
Ambush - Shrink maps for 50 clone gamemode - seperate search on finder
Domination - Some maps are not built for there to be one objective planted in the middle so would..
It be possible to edit this to a RUSH (BattleField) scenario where the nulcannon is hacked - timer starts,
once that expires a New nulcannon comes online setting 3-4 nulcannons per game..??
- Role Play -
Something not considered setting up battles is the roles used in each team, this could be looked at
Allowing mercs to queue battle via their chosen role allowing Scotty to mix them evenly...ish
Squads could have to select a certain 'role' to determine their place in team selection..
This could lead to some really good fights if set up well, OR it could provide something like
role vs role, -ScoutsVScouts//HeavyVHeavy//AssaultVAssault OR VEHICLE ONLY servers
*Just a few of my thoughts of improving gameplay, I know development is 'gone' so can't expect much*
So my request is that some of the Hotfix efforts be directly aimed at improving gameplay,
by adding new variations of maps/vehicles/weapons/suits and gamemodes to use them in
Feel free to post other idea's on tweaking gamemodes to improve play, the less changes
needed to run them the more likely Rattati could get something sorted 
If CCP could clarify what could/would/should be possible that would be great

Some of these are very good ideas.
One thing I think would go a long way to making FW more enjoyable would be Team Deploy, but also would the ability to actually choose where to fight. Coordinating EVE support and queue syncing is unnecessarily hard: having Team Deploy would allow corps to actually work together, and choosing which districts they fight over would allow them to support their EVE Caps.
Also, the selection of Districts under attack would make FW more interesting and allow for more direct conflict between FW corps (in both EVE and Dust) by allowing them to choose to defend/attack specific districts, which would almost require coordinated teams to crack their defences/blunt offensives.
So yeah. FW Team Deploy for sure. And also FW District choice.

A monkey can see flaws in my proposals so add some of your own
We can all agree that something to freshen up gameplay is needed, I'm open to suggestions
CCP could alter current gamemodes simply to provide a different experience to what we have.
- Small map, 50 clone ambush 
A few of the smaller sockets we have make for better games of ambush, add some more !!!
Simply by enlarging the redline leaving a sectioned off area for 50 clone bloodbaths
The old manus peak ambush was much better than currently, the large maps should be OMS only
- Skirmish 2.0: One team defends (5 objectives) the other assaults with more clones than DEF
So any thoughts on this?

- Team Deploy -
As far as I know this is a larger project which requires deep level tech overhaul. I could be mistaken but as I understand it the squad/deploy system is not re-coded within each game mode it is in fact a base value applied game wide and thus would require a ground up rebuild to enable team deploy.
- Game Modes -
This is being discussed and methods looked at. There are a lot of variables that go into possibly creating or altering game modes, but it is an active topic.
-Role Play -
As with team deploy this would likely require a ground up rebuild of the squad/matchmaking system. The idea of role based ques is novel and I actually find it rather appealing as a discussion topic but I have doubts that it is a hotfix level change.
- Small map, 50 clone ambush
Map alterations are almost universally not hotfix level changes
- Skirmish 2.0: One team defends (5 objectives) the other assaults with more clones than DEF
This might be theoretically possible in a hotfix, I am honestly not sure, depends on how the values are coded.
Interesting notion however. 
As ever, these are just my impressions, I am not CCP nor 'the tech guy' but the above describes the best understanding I possess at this point.
Cheers,
Cross

Cheers
So from your reply... Hotfix : fun .. may have died but I'm either ignorant or really dumb so I'll continue
Changes that could be hotfixed would be epic just to add changes NOW but likely not possible in a hotfix
Tricky situation... which is why I would really like to see CCP round up the hotfixes til Ratatti is pleased
And give us an update to gameplay that is desperately needed since before the FF announcements
- I'm intrigued that mini-ambush would be more work than Skirm 2.0.. both are old features to an extent
Thanks for the reply though and seen as you say this is an active topic I will leave a question
What gameplay changes could be made with minimal Updates/Rebuilds?? (Cross sums up some)
And what is your opinion on the importance of adding new game features??

With that in mind, if the community support (in both activity and $) is there to sustain a continuing patch cycle (color me cautiously optimistic at this point) then many things just moved from out of reach to might be on the table.
I'm looking forward to - hopefully - being able to retire my most common response to feedback (i.e. "we cannot consider that under the current hotfix only development cycle").

We can hope so, it will be interesting to see progress by Christmas and see where it goes from there
If CCP added - Basic BPO's either separately or as part of Merc/Elite/Vet Packs then.. cha-ching ..
The Queef BPO's will show them just how many mercs will part with $ for a new shiny toy
Imagine what mercs would pay for shinys they have wanted for over a year!!
I'm holding out for NK-CR-RR-BP-PLC along with A-I + M-I Scout suits then I'll pay up :D
As much as I love Dust, from before fanfest -- until 1.9 announcement I would not have spent $$
Seeing old BPOs was a good start, once they get new BPOs available that should increase AUR sales
Thats my list, 5 guns - 2 suits, add that with other mercs who would buy their choice = Lots of AUR

Those weapons are in game now as BPOs at MLT level, so far not around at STD but who knows eh?
I'm all for full racial parity however, both for new content and for BPOs, seems fair to me and doesn't have any balance implications that wouldn't need to be addressed anyway.
Okay, really time for me to attempt to sleep o7
