Speaking of the new patch, when are the roadmap features coming in?  Like the Phoenix, or the VR area, or account-wide unlocks, or the Phoenix, or the loadout revamp, or the Phoenix, or the Phoenix?

NC-only rocket launcher from PS1.  When you fired it, your POV shifted to that of the rocket, and you steered it directly, guiding it manually to where you wanted it to go.

It was awesome, even after it caught repeated nerfs.

Ah yes, sounds great.

Only problem is I can only imagine the FPS drop anyone suffers without a 'battle station' level computer.

I'd love to see a return of the Rocklet Rifle and Thumper as well.

What about that shotgun pistol thing I heard about from the first one? Do we get that, too?

The Mag-Scatter?  It's an NC pistol, following in the NC's massive love of shotguns.

Nope. That's laser-guided, not a missile-cam.

Empire Specific rocket launchers are still listed as an upcoming feature.  They existed in PS1, and the Phoenix was the NC one.  It didn't work like the turret, anyway.  (Ninjaed)

(I hope that's not the case because the Phoenix was awesome)

The new empire-specifics? 1k certs/700SC per.

NC one will play Dixie from a speaker on the missile.

TR one will explode in the shape of a sword.

VS one will fire missiles shaped like UFOs.

NC one will explode in the launcher.

TR one is just a standard painted red.

VS one does no damage, but leaves a rainbow trail that sheds sparkles.

PTTG??

New tanks that cost certs/station cash to spawn each time.

NC is larger, consists entirely of guns, is stationary, and is literally just a pile of guns.

TR is a very red tank.

VS is a giant mech-suit, based off of the MAX, which is capable of climbing small hills and stomping on some flowers without injuring itself severely.

Those giant carrier ships? The NC one is going to quite literally be a giant flying shotgun that shoots Vanguards and Maxes.
