Well done, Dust team. There are several features in 1.9 that many of us gave up asking for more than a year ago. This is the zombie revival of DUST 514. Perhaps you will find a way to necro hope itself.
Battlegrounds, sockets & moods: I love it when you peeps exploit the f*** out of the combinatorics =)
Loyalty Ranks: I love it when you peeps exploit the f*** out of our single shard. And our epeens ;)
Sell to market: Neutral. Won't be interesting until players can interact with players.
BPO transfer between characters: Didn't see that coming but love what it does for new peeps.
Quick buttons in Merc Quarters: Good for new peeps, for vets menu is now muscle memory 
SP/WP buff: Great to see a shift towards merit-based gaming. But the underlying geometry of the game design is still off and peeps may be AFKing more with the higher sp cap.
SP Cap: Good to keep peeps playing later into the week, but what will happen with all these sp when we migrate to Legion? Logarithmic derating?
Booster threesomes: Who could resist? Just please don't make the AUR-flogging cheesy. Dust/New Eden deserve better.
SP R&R: Since we're not really part of New Eden anymore, i suppose it doesn't matter. But if we were....grrrrr 
One other thing: by the time a 30 million sp vet has respecced once, they know enough to never need to again. Think about it.
Rendering optimizations: Sounds beautiful. Say it again. Frame rate changes the kinesthetic feel, and lordy lordy that feels good...  P.S. And i suppose it's ok if you help the DS pilots
Sprint bug: I feel like one of the old wounds has healed.
Tanks/Tacnet: Had given up all hope...I'm not ashamed of these tears.
Passive Scans/Cloak/Put-down-delay: My Minsault's KDR just went up, tyvm.
Mobile CRU Spawn WP for pilots: A great injustice has been undone. I'll respawn on DS just because.
Injectors/revives: So long it took before CCP acknowledged our right to die. A merc has his rights!
Concerns:
Sniper round trails: So Hand-holdy, makes me think that CCP sees us Dust Mercs as idiot children. S*** like this is exactly why i was never interested in playing those other big-name fpses. I hope the effect is very mild, and very hard to see on a dusk map.
Active Scanner: Has been heavily incentivised. Will definitely increase the wall-hackiness of DUST. Is that what we really want? P.S. As a solo non-tanky minsault the scanner has never stopped beeing standard kit for me. This change incentivises me to fit a higher-tier scanner. We're going to have entire teams walhacking each other.
Request: Can we get the name of the maps on the deployment screen? Would do a lot to encourage map awareness and player conversations. Hopefully very easy to do.
Good job peeps. Keep it up and i may spend money on your game again. Like in the old days, when hope was alive and we dreamed of what could be.
