+1, though I'm not sure how I feel about forcing co-op to accomplish the missions. Wouldn't mind it though, I don't think.
ISK gain should be good enough to warrant losing some of the equipment you'll likely take in, but balanced appropriately with public matches. In turn, however, SP gain should be relatively low. Similar to SP=WP used when you reach your weekly cap on public matches. |

CCP makes official forum posts as well as dev blogs and interviews and keynotes (such as at fanfest) quite often. Trying to keep track of who said what, where, and at what time is a rather difficult task. But PvE was indeed planned for the game, they specifically mention having to "clear out drone infestations" in official advertisements, which is nothing but PvE through and through. One of the ads for DUST also showed a co-op PvE mission vs some Rogue drones. |

EVE gets two (huge) expansions per year. Summer and Winter expansions. Typically, they offer plenty of balancing, new features, graphical overhauls, new ships, etc. They are well worth the wait.
CCP has stated DUST will have a full season expansion cycle, 4 per year (Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall). I'm going to assume Uprising (May) is our Summer expansion, and we can look forward to a new expansion (which should bring at least one new game mode, a couple of the missing weapons, a few of the missing dropsuits, improved graphics, improved balancing, a few of the missing vehicles, maybe one or two new vehicle types, more of the missing skills, etc.) around mid-September or early October.
It's not a huge wait, and eventually you'll get the feeling of "holy crap didn't they JUST release a lot of stuff?" CCP doesn't usually comment on what an expansion is going to bring right after pushing out an expansion. And they don't make timelines because things are ALWAYS subject to change and they don't want to horribly disappoint everyone if 6 months ago they said "Black Ops Variant HAV will come for Q3 2013" and then realize a few months later that in order to do that they'll either be releasing a broken product or will have to retract their statement. Neither option looks good for them, so they always move at their own pace.
They do watch and listen to everything we say and they do discuss things internally. Patience is going to have to be something you learn with CCP. And by browsing the forums it's apparent a lot of people don't have it. This is CCP's first shooter, relax, calm down, etc. The real meat is coming, and if you don't wanna wait, put the game down until the next expansion. You'll still get SP to spend on all the wonderful new toys. |
