There's a few things I'm not sure about patches, that I would like a better explanation on; even if it means player assumptions.
- Iron Sight for LAR added
Does this mean weapon customization?
- Added HMG 'Doom mode'- a new gun camera firing position
I guess we'll see on this one
- Increased magazine size for all Mass Drivers
Will there be increased max ammo too?
- Updated the ADS position of the Mass Driver
I also guess we'll see here
- Added new aiming down sight (ADS) with the Standard and Breach Gallente assault rifle.
Racial variants?
*Made damage pass on all turrets
What does this even mean?
*Only one active heat sink can be used per fitting
*Increased active duration of active heat sink
*Increased the effectiveness of tracking enhancers and tracking computers
*Fixed the vehicle abandonment timer setting on hacked vehicles
This means we have new turret mods (not mentioned), right?
- The number of districts have been adjusted
Because we could see them before, right?
EDIT: also, what's new about the character creation?
I would just like some clarification on this. |

There is no indication that weapon customization will be in, yet. It sounds like the iron sight is only for the Standard and Breach AR (your later question). The AR in game already is Gallente. Yes, there should be racial variants, but not now.
HMG "Doom Mode" sounds like it will just be ADS with a slight zoom. You will get to look straight down the bullet path to get a better idea where you are hitting.
Dust also has components that are exposed in Eve (accessable on the Singularity ('Sisi') test server). The changes to the number of districts is probably referring to there, where you can see them. |

All current assault rifles are Gallente, though I think we are getting the old assault rifles from the trailers. Notice the use of the term LAR (light assault rifle) in the patch notes, this screenshot http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8200/8263265804_43a6130fee_o.jpg shows an image of the LAR, the icon looks different then the current AR icon; go to the marketplace or fittings to check. Notice the sloping arch on top, the green tinted "look through" normal sight on the LAR icon.
Ironsights =/= customization yet.
We're getting new turret mods it seems. |

I would just like some clarification on this.
1. Not yet, system works (as in backbone system) however there are no assests nor time to balance it all out yet.
2. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121021173616/doom/images/e/eb/Minigun.png
3. Uncertain wait for patch hit, chances are is no they would not have increased reserve size or if they did it would be based on reload amounts.
4. Should have a new sight to reflect the newer arc behavior.
5. The current ar is gallente, technically its a 'plasma rifle' or 'light assault rifle'. There are other assault rifles out there such as the caldari gauss rifle (which is assumed heavier hitting) and the minmatar's answer light machine gun (moar bullets!) Racial symettry is something that will happen over time however do not expect a 'gallente' forge gun but instead a similar answer (such as the gallente plasma cannon) and not every weapon is going to translate directly across all races. IE amarrians may not have a shotgun. where as minmatar and gallente will.
6. This means that all the damage output of all turrents have been reviewed, adjusted, and further balanced to favor their use instead of going straight to missiles because those work.
7, This patch notes may have referenced after a later developer build we never got. Their developer build may have had the active sinks and found it to be game breaking to cycle them non stop overlapping.
8. They're there last time I looked under vehicle weapon upgrades.
9. Districts are a shared resource, this patch adjusts the in eve space which is shared between dust and eve online. Remember there are alot of features turned off right now because there is no support for them but game development already got done with that portion of the feature.
10. Character creation.
Chances are its going to mirror eve much more, including videos and backgrounds of each blood line and empire and further detail out the classes. |

Its unfounded, most of the stuff from early alpha was tossed out via stats wise.
the Plasma Rifle however is getting iron sights variants similar to the shotguns but the green dot is not to be seen yet. probably when we get weapon customization. |
