I can't play Tribes (I have a Mac, pity me), but why did the ESRB add in that it had partial nudity? I thought this was a shooter, not a gathering of drunken whores at a nightclub.

You're probably looking at the rating for one of their other games; there's nothing about nudity on their ESRB rating that I can see.

That's probably it.

I didn't read the whole changelog but the way that they're bringing back the basic 3-class system is a step towards classic Tribes which I like. It's also interesting that they mention adding weapons classes that you can't equip more than one type of at a time, which indicates to me that they're going to be more inventory screen based... like Tribes was.

Regrettably now though, my soldier can't go dual spinfusors, so I can't trade my secondary weapon and a perk slot for what was essentially a Twinfusor with higher damage. Also, seeing as weapons are no longer going to be locked into primary/secondary categories, the Spare Spinfusor no longer has any reason to exist anyway ;-; so I wasted that XP.

They got rid of the various hitscan pistols too. I don't know why they did that - their fire rates and damage for those weapons just wasn't worth it without the hitscan capacity, especially because their massive shot spread if you fired them repeatedly.

Blast from the past? Remember moving the old games but being unable to play because slow as hack dial-up. Will try. Is there a b12 clan or something?

If the only decent thing about a pistol is 'hits instantly', you probably answered your own question there.

Playtesting for the new update is now open! You can download it here if you're interested.

So far, most of the feedback has been to complain about invisible snipers with impact nitrons. That, and to complain about the formerly hitscan pistols losing hitscan. I mean seriously, you have a non-hitscan pistol with a clipsize of 6. Why would you even bother.
