When .5 finally gets released you are going to see a bunch of new stuff.  I'd expect it to be in pre-release for a bit though since I have no idea how well all the parts will come together...

We tried to integrate your stuff but it corrupted every existing copy of the repo and also punched me in the balls three times. Cataclysm is canceled forever.

Don't worry if you can't find them. I have a dull rusty spork we can use.

What if you got a few more points in character creation, got rid of professions and was given a list of equipment you could start out with and each item cost 1 - 2 points. (or whatever's fair) Otherwise don't add points to char creation and say you can choose 3 items to start with. I don't know if this would be too OP (we're talking like a pistol with 5 shots, a thing of food, bottle of water, matches, pocket knife, pouch, etc.) anyways just my thoughts.

You can increase the amount of points you get in character creation in options.

I think he means more like a DF embark-style character creation screen. The more points would be by default and go to items or something.

Yes exactly! At first I thought add to professions with more item sets, but then I figured why not just pick your own starting items, maybe have a bicycle or moped as one of the more expensive options, but nothing outrageous like <insert really good item here> (because I'm a noob and don't exactly know what the good items are :P)

I think points in skills, attributes, or traits have much more value than points in items. A separate screen that uses, say, one point to create a dozen item points would be nice. ;D

Or maybe have char points and then "money" to buy items and you could buy multiple of the same item depending on price (you can't buy 2 $75 backpacks when you get $100 to spend)

Or maybe you were in the shower when you heard the evacuation message and you barely had time to pick anything but your clothes ?

Yeah, using the same points system for pre-game item buy would be pointless, because just about everybody would take higher attributes/skills over a few bits of loot that you can grab just about anywhere. "Money" would be a decent way to do it, especially once proper NPCs are in so any excess cash could stay with your character.

Can you "a"ctivate it? If not, I think you need to wield it as a weapon, then "e"xamine the card reader. It'll give you the option to swipe a card, then to use the electrohack if you refuse. Be wary that using it with a low computer skill has great chance to destroy the card reader, preventing you from accessin whatever is behind.
