Great Dev Blog, and enjoyed the read, but it only talked about things in the past tense.

I'm assuming from the lack of "Expect this great new map/feature in Uprising 1.2/1.3" nothing the Level Design team is currently working on is expected for 1.2 or 1.3, but is there any chance you could at least provide a little insight into things we can expect Soon (no Gäó)?

Something like "now that we've reworked the existing maps into our new socket system, creating new maps is easier and we expect to have something new for you all to play with, not in the next release, but soon after that" or "we hear you are crying for a new mode, well we have a surprise for you we don't want to ruin, but expect to see something this summer".

Let me rephrase, I really enjoyed the read, and appreciate the time and effort that went into it, but when the community is holding its breath waiting for Uprising 1.2, and discussing the game's future with ... shall we call them "strong" feelings?, a DevBlog that doesn't at least mention that is an automatic let down versus something revealing what we can expect to make things better.

On the other hand, it IS appreciated that CCP listens to feedback from the community (which really seems to be the point of this DevBlog more than anything else), but I doubt that most of the community will see it that way.

That first screen shot?.... is that a new ship or something????

I've read this entire Dev Blog, can someone please tell me what actual information it contains?

Dev post proves ccp took thr completey wrong message from skrm 1.0 Its become more the obv that somthing behind the iron certain is too play on this topic because the balance argument is a load of rubish

I was kind of hoping the blog would talk about how CCP are working on creating new game modes and possibly hint at things they are working on. This just describes what we have already and what was taken out/changed since early beta.

There is no inside information here. I'd love it if they said something like "we are thinking about game mode X. Here is how we think it might work. Please give feedback."

I'm really not seeing numbers dropping though currently even though I know alot of long time players are leaving the game. More amd more people are coming in and enjoying the game But with the unfinished feel are leaving after a short time. Once new content is released and things are fixed any old and new players will come in. There's also a small fact of with the ps4 coming out there will still be a huge group of players still on ps3 for a couple years and most games released after that point for ps3 will probably be lackluster. That's when I think we will really start to see dust start to shine. And Polish itself up for the inevitable transition to ps4. Oh and sidenote when gaikai opens up it's ps3 service dust should bevopen to people that only own a ps4 as well. And considering ccp ran Eve on multiple versions of directx for awhile I think with Sony's permission which shouldn't be hard to get. The jump should be rather painless. Even though there will always be whiners and doomsayers. Most of whom are only looking at a small glimpse of information not the whole picture. Honestly many of doomsayers are causing exactly what they don't want to happen by saying that dust is dying turns many players away that would actually enjoy the game which contributes to the feelingbof death.

But basically what I'm trying to say is that dust is still very much alive. Its pulse might be slow and it was born premature and not quite fully developed But that's no reason to give up on it. With a little nourishment I can see dust exploding with life.
