The next patch is looking, well, quite awesome.
We're finally getting the star map rework, fps map, personal hangars, cargo missions, blockade events, EVA T2, item recovery, bank, freight elevators, master modes and the next version of replication layer.
That's a pretty huge set of features we've waited for years. Well, some more than others. The lack of item recovery mechanism and a good map system, both in space and on foot, have certainly lessened an otherwise good gaming experience. While exploring is fun, running around a complex city you're unfamiliar with in loops is just frustrating. And cargo missions. Haulers will finally get more on par with every other profession in the sense that they can finally stop gambling with millions of aUEC every time they want to make a fraction of that. Still would love to see them cargo insurances for trading tho.
And all progress in replication layer is just progress towards finally being an MMO instead of this sparsely populated hundred player server thingy.
Oh, and EVA T2. Finally you don't need to put a weight on your keyboard just to keep moving in the direction you want when you inevitably fall through the space station floor and have to EVA ten kilometers to the nearest airlock.
All in all, this patch will bring a lot of that missing basic functionality to the game. Like minimaps, bank, premium item recovery, etc. It's going to be such a GoL improvement and will just make the experience a whole lot better.
