My problem with DUST is that none of the features that push it beyond a generic FPS seem to be active, or even close to being realized. With the pace the beta has been going (and my experience in EVE), it doesn't seem possible that they will magically pull this all together before release.

This is intentional on CCP's part. File it under 'Doing things Right'.

Once the EVE-DUST link is working as intended, core mechanics are what they should be, and controls are tightened up, things will be able to move along at a reasonable clip.

My best guess is that over the course of the next year content will arrive faster than most of us can ingest it.

That's putting an awful lot of faith in CCP, though. They've never been good at implementing things the way they envision them. In EVE, it's generally good vision, horribly incomplete implementation, ignore for a year or two, then sort of bandaid fix it. Unfortunately, DUST seems to be on the same path. I hope they do deliver, but they're already horribly far over their original release schedule, so I'll believe it when I see it.

We've all lived it in New Eden over the years. But i kinda think of those days as the 'old CCP'. Since the riots, layoffs, reorginization, new(very talented) blood, there seems to be a hella lot more operational and logistical intelligence floating around the CCP offices. Personally, I think some of the credit has to go to Jon Lander.
