Right so a few things I mean by "Progress"
-Being able to move around the station you're in, instead of being stuck in the damn quarters all the time unless you are in a match
-Interactions with EVE players not just being Orbital strikes and chat channels
-Being able to travel throughout New Eden, moving to different stations at a cost of isk or travel to a planets surface
-Boarding Titans (not sure who here wouldn't want to be able to do this)
-Weapon customizations (might be a problem with balancing)
-PVE
Just a few off the top of my head
After fanfest 2014 I wasn't expecting anything else to really be done with this game so ya they did progress further than most expected on the ps3.
1) So you want use to move around and stuff even though they have yet to do that in EVE? Also you want to add unnecessary fluff ontop of a game that was already pushing the limits of the PS3?
2) This was not CCP Shanghais fault but more of a players fault as some EVE players fervently protested having any connection with Dust. More so after FF14.
3) Actually, if you asked a GM nicely back before FF14, they would have moved your station for you. IIRC all of PIE Alliance are in one station.
4) This was something that, again, would have been protested greatly as the idea of boarding titans was to destroy it from the inside. You clearly have no knowledge of how much of a huge investment a titan is. First, it takes a f.ckig long time to train to fly it properly (not talking weeks or months, but years), and getting a hold of a titan is f.cking just as daunting. Some people go as far as purchasing accounts that can fly and have a titan with real life cash. So to go through all that trouble just to have a group of people you have no defense against destroy your investment would **** people off greatly. Sure you can have your own mercs on board, but you are still risking a huge time and money investment.
5) Weapon Customization? Really? Just not going to mention FULL RACIAL PARITY. Which they had a work around for that in place. I am sorry you can't have your 6x scope on your assault rifle, but don't worry we have a gallente plasma thrower... oh wait. It was in talks, mainly full racial parity, which is a higher priority in most peoples opinion. And as I said, Rattati had a work around by reskinning and adding different attributes to the reskinned models. F.ck weapon customization, you can have that after I get my Plasma Thrower or Laser Lance.
6) Only thing I agree with you, there needed to be PvE. However, again, the PS3 was already at it's limits.
Edit: To add more to point 5, keep in mind we had a decent amount of weapons and variants for said weapons. More than what most modern FPSs can say these day.
