Actual eve/dust integration that would make dust a truly epic game .
Unfortunately people want their pointless little scrimmages in mh and no depth.
If only the average duster realised the games potential. Unfortunately they want to be mh space kings, a tiny section of New Eden, pointless and not much use either.
For the game to truly get great, dusters need to get re acquainted with the idea of being a merc. Capsuleers already run the show and the game would be far better if we stayed on that initial idea.
It would be better in too many ways to type and it would not be fully understood either.

I've been thinking along those lines quite a bit myself lately. I think one of the problems this game has in retaining new players isn't just the matchmaking or the poor performance, but the fact that when you look at it, there isn't a lot about Dust that really sets it apart from other shooters in a gameplay sense. There are plenty of high-health strafe-shooters, plenty of combined-arms (vehicles and infantry) shooters, plenty of tactical-shooters, and most of those have some element of loadout customization as an element.
So rather than brainstorming new stuff to put into the game, let's look at it like CCP did EVE after the Incarna blowup in 2011. What established mechanics would you change or improve to shake things up and make the game exciting not just as a concept, but to actually play?
It started off a truly epic idea didn't it, where we would be mercs stepping into New Eden, the capsuleeers world. We looked forward to joining it and being part of it, so epic.
Ended a generic hitcan shooter with timer sorted matches, nearly no integration either and lost most of its players who held on to, and understood the unique and amazing vision it started with.
Some great technical feats that i appreciate but the fattening of ccps portfolio does not mean anything to the players.
A really nice level of customisation and leveling skills that is also ver unique, squandered on a total lack of ground breaking content beyond ob's *slow clap*.

The only problem is back when that was the idea of the game, it generated a lot of negative publicity in the form of people seeing it as Console gamers being used as peons for the "PC Master Race". I wouldn't be surprised if that was a big part of the paradigm shift toward the only interaction being orbital strikes.
Crybabies who should have been ignored is more fitting.

I i could realistically change 1 thing, it would be that only suits and weapons of the empire You're fighting for in fw are allowed. Whether its std, adv, proto, or actual fw gear.
Equipment would be universal.
It would create balance issues and it doesn't even fit with eve but i think it would be really cool.
