Hey guys, here's the official word from CCP Jian about what the differences between 5.14 and 5.6 are. Here it is:

CCP Jian wrote:

On 5.14

The 3 new weps
- plasma cannon
- flaylock pistol
- scrambler rifle

New game mode: Domination

New terrain and battlegrounds

Everything else is 5/6...

As for proper patch notes, I am looking into that matter now. We tend to release patch notes on patch day, however.

As for the dev blog on assets, I am trying to get it put out today or tomorrow. However, a ton of people are traveling today after FanFest, so I can't promise it. It's been totally hectic here the past week or so and some of the things we absolutely should have done by now have been missed. I apologize for that.

So does this mean that the Starmap and Clone Packs for PC are live as of 12:00 GMT (or end of extended downtime) on 20130506?

My understanding is that you buy clones WHEN you attack for PC. I'm pretty sure he meant to say that PC is on the 14th.

Also, I thought there was a maps devblog that has been promised for a long time that CCP LogicLoop said he put in the pipe quite a while back...?

Following the respec we should have access to all the gear and have a week to work with it and spend our skills points in order to be ready to invade Molden Heath.

This is going to be a chicken and the egg situation, i know alot of my alliance mates have tried dust and are waiting for it to affect 0,0 Chicken and the egg is indeed a bit of the problem. At the same time though we really need to make sure we have a solid foundation and plan before trying to tackle null sec.

Molden Heath won out. That is a LONG document. :( I was just tweaking you- harkening back to this: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=677452#post677452 Anyhow, I figured you or someone else over there had sunk a lot of time into deciding. I can imagine it took an awful lot of work to get there. Any chance we might get eyes on that document? It would be very useful for those who want to think strategically.

Patch notes are needed, but what is completely frustrating is the lack of the list and stats on items, weapons, and suits that was promised to us. You played enough Eve to know how theory crafting works. So go and take that knowledge and impart upon that person who is in sufficient power as to get things done, that we need that info ASAP. Those of us with big plans, need to start planning. I appreciate you being on to answer for your department, I just wish that more of the devs were willing to do the same for their stuff. BTW, the PC presentation was very informative and clear, you did a great job. Pokes have been sent. Thank you very much, I was really conflicted about how much information to put in the presentation and how detailed to go. There were some technical difficulties which delayed the start of my presentation as well, and on top of that there was no way to tell the time while on stage. During practice my presentation went much longer so I talked a bit fast during it. Glad to hear it still came across nice and clear. :D

I would only ask if they intend to expand it to other regions soon enough. The expansion of planetary conquest in low-sec will depend greatly on how many people are participating and fighting over the planets. We know we want to see lots of fighting, but we want people to have a chance at owning a district. So when we expand it will just depend on how many people are playing it. I'm glad to hear that new regions can be opened up without waiting for a major release. What if we wind up with a miniature Blue Donut (MH is kinda donut-shaped), or even a slug fest- but only between a small number of corps/alliances? How rarified does PC have to get (how small of a number of different alliances holding districts) before we see new regions? We will continue to balance planetary conquest to always try and upset that blue doughnut if it happens. There are lots of numbers we can try and tweak. As for when we open up more regions, we don't have any exact metric we are looking to hit to do that. Being honest, it will be much more a see how it goes type thing.

When I go to big meetings or conventions I often come away with some new ideas and action items. I am sure there may be some you can't go into too much depth about but what, if any, issues do you have burning in your mind about DUST right now?

I can understand how things can be missed, I'm sure it was hectic just preparing for the presentations at fanfest. Also Very Well done on the planetary conquest keynote and QA. Preparing was one thing, actually DOING FanFest was a wholenother thing. So exhausted. Thank you very much, I was really excited to do the presentation and am so glad you liked it. :D

Aighun Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 772	Posted - 2013.04.29 13:36:00 - [76] - Quote Do you know if the "Reflecting the Universe" presentation is avialable anywhere? It is one I missed and would really like to watch. Nice job on presentation and EVR looks awesome. You guys need to make that dogfight game real. And tied in to EVE would be even better. And maybe only 2 or 3 years in development before release. I am not asking for much, I know... Also, along the lines of planetary conquest, what will be first on the roadmap? Station invasions, null sec, or fights on different planet types, such as attacking gas giant mining operations or battles on lava planets? Also, any plans to bring districts to smaller chunks of stellar real estate? Moon or asteroid colonies, etc?

Well, if it was planned during the Fanfest week... it probably was. Seriously, though- I think Reav is expressing a very valid concern. I know I've seen the same concern echoed all over the boards. It sounds like people would much rather have clone packs unavailable until the 14th so that they have a little time to view the timers and get their money together. As Reav said, it also lets people get their gear on.

I've been playing DUST for almost a year now, and it's been great to watch the progress, and seeing how true to your vision you've stayed is inspiring for me. It was good seeing you all up on stage, smiling and doing what you love to do; bringing us the coolest experiences in gaming, day after day. Take it easy everyone, watch those hangovers. One day I hope to meet you all and toss a few back, but for now I'll just live vicariously Here's to another 10 amazing years CCP, and 1000 more to come.
Citpaan Hacos BetaMax. CRONOS. 38	Posted - 2013.04.29 14:20:00 - [86] - Quote Since you're working on mail I need to ask if this is or will be fixed. With the neocom, for contacts and corp search, when you select a text box to bring up the keyboard for entry, you press X. For mail however, pressing X SENDS, which is a bit annoying if you accidentally hit it thinking it'll bring up the keyboard, and end up sending a blank message. How simple would it be to just flip what the X and Square buttons do? Or make the whole thing consistent across the game so only Square brings up the keyboard. (Though if you did that, I'd still like send be moved to a button box at the bottom of the message, or set to the triangle button instead of X.) (Yeah, the chat screen also uses Square that way, but since X doesn't do anything there unless you have it on the lists, it's less of an issue.)
Absolute Idiom II BetaMax. CRONOS. 98	Posted - 2013.04.29 14:22:00 - [87] - Quote Hey Foxfour, great to meet with you and drink with you at Fanfest. I still owe you 2 beers for losing that bet (you can collect them next year) and my wife was surprising cheerful that she got to talk about the pros/cons of python code! Anyway, I have some questions, so here they are: 1) So since we can attack districts that belong to corps in our alliance. How do the OBs work in those cases, since the only rule you've told us is that anyone in the alliance can provide OBs. Will they essentially be able to fire for both sides? 2) You mentioned during your PC talk that the loot chance to drop is 50% (just like eve). Does this apply to every suit, vehicle and everything fit on them (mods, weapons, equipment, grenades etc.) ? Because that is A LOT of loot. How will the loot be shared amongst the mercs in battle?

Interesting point, this makes me wonder if the new maps will have any tie in to PC? Could there be new infrastructure upgrades in the pipe possibly? I have a feeling that one map could involve a star-crane/space elevator.
