I hope your prophecies are accurate. I would like to see all of this and more. 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. |

lol, armor waffeling (I know, armor honycombing equivalent).
I hope we aren't seeing cloaking this soon, I'd like to have working scanning in for a while before introducing it. I could be wrong but I got the impression from the podcast that we wouldn't be seeing player trading next iteration either (though I hope I'm wrong). |

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. |

Something being on the server dump doesn't mean we're getting it.
No crusader suits. No cloaking. No pilot suits. As far as other suits go, it's unclear which ones we are getting. Racial suits are coming, but likely not all of them. There's been 0 word on which ones we'll get first.
No miasma grenades.
Squad locks are already in the game.
No new installations.
No new game modes.
Active Scanners are a "probably not".
Flux mines are a 'Probably not"
To manage expectations, "Vegetation" is pretty much small foliage like grass and minor small rock formations etc. (No trees)
Not wanting to be negative, but need to manage the player's expectations a bit :P |

Wait what? I sure hope this doesn't mean it will be 5% per level in both directions.
Either it should be 5% in the upper end, while keeping the lower end the same, or 2,5% in both ends.
And yes, we'll be lucky to even have a quarter of all this.

Crusader, spec ops, and pilot suits were mentioned by CCP during the podcast last month, the Cast 514 thing. They sound like they're still on the table, and considering they mentioned the next build will have big dropsuit changes, I wouldn't be surprised if they're in. |

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. |

You do know that I'm one of the voices on that podcast you're referencing, right? :P
They told us they had a new suit progression and we'd be getting racial suits. But when we asked about crusader and pilot suits they told us we aren't getting them next build. Nor should we expect the complete lineup of racial suits either. Only some/most of them. |

So basically its a guess without any basis on what devs said... . I don't consider OMS a new mode, just a slight variation they're pretending is a new mode. |

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