Unfortunately even though I have seen a lot of these things discussed in IRC I really don't think we will get even half of this in the next build. At the very least I hope they have the Corp district ownership part done for this build since that will make Corps meaningful and Corp battles much more fun.
Corp ownership is not slated for launch. Winter is the earliest maybe.
Nearly 100% of the features are planned. However if I had a dart throw this.. 40% of the list will make it and there is going to be a good 10-20% not mentioned winding up on the official notes. |

Last time I checked, Corp ownership was coming next build. Also what's a 'misma grenade'? Something you invented or something the devs mentioned on IRC?
Misma Grenades was from the server dump, they're basically electronic warfare smoke grenades. |

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf wrote:Iron, what leads you to believe there will be new modes?
Opportunity to add in more foundationing is probably going to be taken.
Remember when we didn't have OMS? That was hot fixed in.
Either way new modes is a trivial term, one and only could be considered a new game mode, none the less I expect them to be more or less variants of what we got now.
Now if they added something like extraction.... who knows.  |

The entire pod cast was cut chopped diced sliced then glued carefully back in a logical order. |
