DUST Search - Questions from a former player.

I played dust often from the beginning of open beta until the fanfest where legion was announced then my play time began to dwindle until my PS3 finally kicked the bucket and I got a PS4. Every now and again I get on, on someone elses PS3 but not very often. I logged in not long after we got warbarges and again last weekend for a few fights which made me curious as to what is going on with DUST these days. So without further aimless rambling my questions.

1. I see we now have more kinds of tanks not just Gunnlogi's or Madrugars are these the reskins that are meant to simulate the Amarr and Min vehicles or just extra HAV's?

2. Whats with all the BPO's? I remember when they got removed and I am pretty sure CCP said it was because they were bad for the economy.

3. Is PC still active or not so much anymore?

4. Legion whats the deal? Had a look in the legion sub-forums and it seems like its dead any news about it or not. If not what is the long term plan for dust I have had a brief glimpse of the road map but seemed more about fixes than future content/developments. Is dust going to PS4 or PC or just chugging along till Legion or until people stop investing in dust.

5. CPM, looked in the CPM forum but didn't browse too much did CPM 1 seem effective in most people's eyes? also correct me if I am wrong but hasn't this years fanfest taken place which is usually when CPM/the eve version whose name eludes me at the moment is announced?

6. What is a reasonably active time for EU players I tried playing a few games last weekend but I had to wait about 15 minutes between games is the activity quite low now or did I hit a rare low spot (FYI was about 8-9PM BST)

Cheers for any and all responses unless its SOONGäó

Dust is fun. Still very frustrating at times, but funner than ever. As for your questions, I'll do my best. 1.) Don't know a ton about them. Sorry I'm off to a bad start, but I'm not a tanker, and I almost never see these new tanks on the field. I'm pretty sure they're not the Min, Amar tanks though. 2.) Economy has changed. Infinite ISK from PC is long gone, which is a good thing. In the meantime, BPO's and APEX suits allowing a lot of people to turn profits in pubs, while not offering a real advantage. Opinions are mixed, but I think they help new players more than anyone, so I'm all for them. 3.) There are still plenty of PC corps. Cap Aq is on top right now, and I believe they just fought off a huge attack. Haven't been following too closely tho. 4.) CCP hasn't made a peep since the 'faux-announcement'. Secret plans are likely in the works. The game has been getting a huge makeover over the last few months. Dust is also under new management since then. I suspect Legion was 'announced', CCP felt the massive backlash of disenfranchised PS3 players, then a sort of coup took place in CCP, and the whole Legion idea was scrapped, to be replaced by a better port plan. But that's just my theory, yours is as good as anyone elses. 5.) Vote Talos Vagheitan CPM2 :) 6.) I don't know. 15 minutes seems much too long for a pub match though. I'm in NA. Hope that helped, and hope to see you on the battlefield. Official CPM Platform
