chat timestamps pretty basic too. no excuse for it not being in. we should no longer see vanishing nanohives or drop uplinks. we should probably see points for destoying enemy assets as well.

totally agree on the command ladder and finite vehicle ammo as well.

Clocks are in Uprising! confirmed by Nullarbor in IRC and i think reddit as well. As for time stamps and warpoints? I going to poke about it.

But c'mon guys anything higher level concerns?

Iron wolf I have a higher level concern and its more of a Roadmap issue. One of the original features of dust that was announced early in closed Beta and lately we have heard very little about is the commander role and the RTS type gameplay from the mcc. I really think this was going to be another huge differentiator to dust in its market. The last we heard anything about it was briefly discussed months ago in a dev blog. I would like to know if this idea has been scrapped and if not where is it on the roadmap.

A lot of mercs have asked recently about things like when the map table will show something meaningful or when wee will be able to place assets on the battlefield like selecting where a CRU is placed at the beginning of the battle by the field commander (which are small pieces of the ultimate FC RTS pie).

I would really appreciate it if as our CPM rep you would bring this up with the Dev's and express to them how much this one feature could really make dust even more unique and a very enjoyable way of making the tactical/strategy aspects of the game a way to attract an even broader audience.

Thanks and on a side note I may not always agree with you but certainly you would have been on my short list if we had to vote for CPM members.

I think that seeing that CPM and immediately thinking "what things can they get me?" is the wrong approach. I'm not going to judge them based on a list of things I want but on how well they engage the community and communicate community feeling to CCP

I agree completely and this is exactly why I say that I would have voted for iron wolf as he has been very involved with the community already. I also think he has done so with no agenda other than trying to improve the game. I don't believe everyone elses motives have been as transparent.

Last mention of commander role via IRC was for 2013 winter at the earliest when corporations can start to afford to lose their own MCCs at a 120 million isk price tag. Low Sec CP is just CP Lite in reality, with npc hand holding still. Null CP will be pure sandbox hopefully. Other than that I have nothing new. I fear by the time you get to hear about it I will no longer be seated and the minutes will be out after the feature launches.

I fear by the time you get to hear about it I will no longer be seated and the minutes will be out after the feature launches. I could be wrong but I think you would agree this commander RTS feature could be a huge benefit to the game and expanding its player base and immersion. Anything you can do to express the importance of this feature and suggestions you can make for its future implementation while you are on the CPM is very much appreciated. Like you I am passionate about seeing this game succeed for years to come and I really do respect your opinions which is why I ask that you involve yourself with the features mechanics as much as you can while you are around. Thanks again

Thus its further down the food chain from simple quality of life issues for the soldiers on the battlefield. Oh I certainly concur that there are more pressing issues that need more immediate attention (i wouldnt necessarily agree the shooter part of dust sucks but perhaps Needs improvement). I just hope that doesn't cause this feature to be lost and hope that you will express its importance. This is also why I said it was more of a roadmap concern since I don't expect it to be immediate but I also hope it isn't pushed so far out that it becomes forgotten.
