One of the things that I'd like to really see in Dust is more immersion.
But immersion is such a broad topic, so I'll focus on one.
Music is supposed to set the mood. It is supposed to dictate the emotions and feelings you should be experiencing in that moment. I'd like to see much more of this in Dust (also, I like CCP's synth skillz).
_There_are_some_(3 links) pieces of Dust music that are really nice, but unfortunately they are also quite sparse or removed, for whatever reason.
Planetside 2 does a good job of setting moods with its spawn-screen music. I've included all three faction's spawn-screen music here..
There is plenty of musical material to work with, including some really good soundtracks that fans have made for EVE Online:
On the topic of music, I also feel that it should be dynamic in the sense of changing tune depending on what is happening on the battlefield at the present time. Say a battle is just beginning, the music should reflect a merc's arrival on a hash planet, with a mission to search and destroy the enemy infrastructure or MCC. As the battle progresses, the music reflects that in becoming more intense. If the battle nears the end and victory is very close for both sides, the music should change to reflect this as well. League of Legends does an excellent job of this with their Dominion music.
It changes as the battle progresses and reflects the battlefield conditions and passage of time (Opening, Mid-Game, Late-Game, and End Game with a one-sided victory imminent OR a very close match).
More Epic mood setting music from the EVE Universe:
Rettic (the guy who made the Suites above) made some more music:
P.S.
All of this stuff could also be ported over to Legion ;^)

I in fact made an excruciatingly similar thread in the Legion General form when Saberwing was still around.
Not sure if it was seen by any current devs (especially Dust devs), so I decided to post it here....
Hoping for Blue (I'm looking at you Rattati) acknowledgment ;-;

If you want to talk about immersion, then you want more abient sounds added to the game instead of music, because in real life you dont hear music while in battle unless you're doing some mind games against your opponent.
In a sense, it is mind games. Especially if the music is dynamic in the battle, it creates a feeling of urgency if you're losing. The reverse is also true.
Music sets the feeling, the mood, the pace of the battle.

Different strokes for different folks? Music personally helps my immersion level. I'm sure it would come with a volume bar.
why not both music and ambient sounds?

Final bump before heading into the abyss.
Hoping for a blue tag/response/acknowledgement, or bumps from other kind folks.

Don't watch the whole thing, just the takeoff, I love the music that plays here. It slowly fades off. This player doesn't really do anything interesting after taking off though, so not any good examples after skimming through. Still you could get amazing tracks play for you after taking out another plane, or dodging enough swarms.. It was really heart pumping.
Kinda similar to what I'd like to see in Dust, but couple that with a mood-setting-tune that changes as the battle progresses, and something similar to what I posted back in my third link in OP (like when you kill someone, the tune picks up slightly).
Frankly, I don't understand why they got rid of the beta music at all. It was great!
