When will we get Drones?? I will - for now - answer that question with another question (because I can't very well shake my fist at CCP for over-promising and then do the same kitten myself now can I?), so... How would you mercs like a Drone survival mode? 
A drone survival mode? Does it involve getting stuck on terrain/objects, grenades bouncing of of clear air and crappy aiming mechanics?
If so, i'll pass.
Any news on Hilmar/Rouge/Rattati's positions on core fps mechanics?

How would you mercs like a Drone survival mode? I need several towels... I wan't it  Drone difficulty should be based if you are in highsec,lowsec,nullsec I'd personally love to see a scaled element where the longer you survive (limited clones etc) the harder the fight and any earnings from it scale with the 'wave' you reach.
PVE should exist in this game under only one circumstance: as PC district maintenance contracts.
Dust needs the social interaction between high-end PC corps and low-end pve corps which that would engender. A contract system would be required to support it, which would in and of itself be a tremendously valuable immersion/community-building tool.
If Rattai is serious about how to bring New Eden to Dust he won't find anything more immersive or that generates devtime payback than contracts/PC maintenance.

If so, i'll pass. Any news on Hilmar/Rouge/Rattati's positions on core fps mechanics? CCP Rattati has been looking into improving the core mechanics. The legacy code is frankly a mess but there are folks working on ways of sorting it out. It is a priority and I expect continued improvements to it.
Good news on the mechanics, better than good news. Nothing like fundamentals to give a game a future. Godspeed to the team.
Re: The PvE training mode agree 100%.
Also agree that we need PvE that is non-gated and available to all players/corps of all levels, but really want to make sure that it doesn't segregate or balkanize the population.
PC maintenance contracts could be very accessible and scaleable in difficulty. If the contract system supports an auto-contract feature with a few variables/filters, corps or squads looking for some light/heavy/brutal PvE action could just submit a request to the matchmaker and the various district owner's pre-set autocontract filters would do the rest.
Upside of this approach would be something like Kain Spero looking at PC District defense logs and wallet activity saying "Who is this corp XYZ? They're doing solid work against heavy Drone infestations, we should check them out."
Not married to this - just some ideas for the stewpot. Thanks for the replies, sounds hopeful on several fronts.
