Some things I can think of off the top of my head:
Fitting Tweaks
High Slots
Shield Rechargers currently show Shield Rechargers along with Shield Energizers. Remove Shield Energizers from list.
CN-V Light Damage Modifier still not categorized as a Light Damage Modifier. Move to LDM list.
Low Slots
Armor Plates currently shows Armor Plates, Ferroscale Plates, and Reactive Plates. Remove Ferroscale and Reactive plates from this list (as they already have their own categories).
Vehicle High Slots
Vehicle Scanners aren't in Electronics? I would suggest moving them here. Also, should it have a "Scanners" sub-category?
Vehicle Low Slots
Armor Repair modules don't have an Armor Repairer category. Add and move them.
Blaster Ammo Unit Category but no Missle or Railgun? Add those two and sort those items into proper categories.
Name Tweak
We currently have 2 items named the same thing:
Imperial Viziam Drop Uplink (975 ISK 75 LP | 5% Spawn Time Modifier)
Imperial Viziam Drop Uplink (5,312 ISK 150 LP | -47.5% Spawn Time Modifier)
Please change the names to have unique names (much like the other equipment does).
(My suggestion would be to have the 150 LP version named the "Imperial Allotek Drop Uplink". In legacy versions of Dust, this used to exist. Not sure if this name would fit with the lore though.)
Item Store Tweak
Federal Marines Equipment:
Federation CreoDron Active Scanner: 4,637 ISK | 150 LP
Federation Duvolle Active Scanner: 1,730 ISK | 75 LP
Please switch these prices. The CreoDron allows you to use a Prototype scanner at an advanced level and 75 of your Loyalty Points should be used instead of 150. The Duvolle is a strong Prototype variant that needs level 5 to operate. This should be taking 150 of my Loyalty Points, not 75.
Item Modifier Tweaks
Vehicle Armor plates. There was a thread about this a while back. 60mm plates have the same movement speed penalty as 120mm plates. This also scales right along with the higher tiers as well. Would it be possible to have smaller movement penalties on the 60mm plates than on the 120mm? This could be achieved by either decreasing the 60mm movement penalty or increasing the movement penalty on the 120mm, but this would be a gameplay mechanic pass most likely. In any case, common sense tells me that 60mm plates are lighter than 120mm plates and, as such, should be as movement penalizing as the heavier variants.
Tutorial and Welcoming of New Players
In legacy versions of Dust 514, we had a voice welcoming us saying "You show great promise recruit..." etc. We also received a NPC generic welcome mail saying how great we are.
Later on, we received a proper tutorial that guided new players how to start a battle, how to create a fitting, how to create a vehicle fitting, how to allocate skill points, and rewarded the player for doing these things.
Suddenly, all these things were gone. What happened?
In order to have New Player Retention, please consider re-implementing a Welcoming System and/or a proper Tutorial.
Server Stability
Unfortunately, I can only add my experience here and don't have any good recommendations like I had in the above. My main complains are:
Kicked out of queue when we have the "Waiting For Deployment" indicator.
Every so often, Scotty will jerk you around, letting you know that you are searching for a battle, getting your hopes up by letting you know you are about to go into battle, and then laughing at you saying he was just kidding by removing the "Waiting For Deployment" indicator, leaving you in your mercenary quarters like a dropped dinner date leaving you to ask, "What just happened?"
Quality in Planetary Conquest matches
Dust University has started taking part in some small skirmishes in PC battles (losing in the most spectacular stompfests you've ever seen), and for some reason, there seems to be something off playing these. For me, it seems odd to have both Public and Faction Warfare matches be relatively smooth, and yet it seems PC matches are still very unstable. (I know you guys have been working hard on this though, so look at this as just another recent player's experience input.)
I'll write another post if I think of more.
