With my beard question answered I have a few other, less important queries. Is there an eta for u29 experimental server? To me it seems that the weapon and overclock balance is so delicate and complex that it needs more time than usual to fine tune and get right. Will ice spear/snowball and other similar overclocks get a proper overhaul or will the damage numbers just be adjusted. Spending 30 fuel for a projectile that can go sideways and miss completely doesn't seem all that fun. And please let persistent plasma field slow down enemies in the radius. It's one of my favourite designs but it falls a bit flat when swarmers can skitter through the field without dying.

Do our dwarves miner bois drink coffee? Super important question. Also, is DRG upper management a bunch of skinny chinned leaf lovers!?

Could we get a scroll wheel customizer? I find myself blowing my legs off on driller more than I'd like to admit when trying to pull out my drill. Any chance on alternate movement tools/upgrades for them in the future planned?

What are the devs feelings on the controversial STEVE?

So uh, devs, are the 'launch barrels' getting any updates before 1.0? Is is rocket boosting off of a tube 100% the plan

If new classes get added, will there be one with an ambiguous gender (like the TF2 Pyro, or maybe a robot), or a female dwarf? And if the latter might appear in the future, will she be able to have a beard? Actually, could the dwarfs make a robot that can also have beards?

The loot bugs, will you add a feature to feed them gold and tame them and be able to ride them up 90° walls??

I see your still taking some questions, got time for one more?

Me and my friends are slow-paced players. We like the easy difficulty and the nice pace it offers for the game. Something we like to do together is find a nice scenic spot to sit and just chat for a minute and catch up. It's a nice break from the games we're playing since we don't live close together anymore. We LOVE sitting in the space rig and looking out at Hoxxes from the NOW EVEN BIGGER :D window.

However, the star that sits above Hoxxes is pretty bright, and causes a lens flair on the characters vision. This gives us both MAJOR headaches after a few seconds... So my questions are

1) What are the chances of lowering the intensity of the lens flair/ asking management to add tint to the window.
2) Adding the ability to see the statues and posters of whoever game you joined, not just your own.

These would both give us some nice views, as of now DRG is lacking some scenery.

I saw from an earlier question that a medic class is off the table, but as a long time support/healer player i'm wondering if there will be more team support perks added? i like field already, but i feel like something more proactive that is useful before death would fit well. feels like shield link was already a nice step in this direction, but it would be neat to see something that is not strictly for survival, like a speed link or something. i know classes bring their own versions of team utility, but for perk slots outside of field medic and shield link there isn't much in terms of utility i can give the team.

1. I've noticed a few times when new voice lines were brought up, it sounds like you got one fella doing all the work. He's doing a great job of course, but that sounds like a lot of work for one person. You've got a pretty passionate community, what would be needed to hire on some volunteer work? What would be some of the challenges this would present? Are there legal issues?

2. On the subject of voicelines, we got some pretty cool cosmetics! My favorite are the full face helmets, but one minor thing I thought would be neat for them would be some sort of voice effect. I mean, you're talking through a helmet and sounding the same as the rest of your brothers in arms. Is this something that would be difficult to implement? And to broaden this, is there any possibly in general of different sound effects/variations for different cosmetics/skins?

3. By default, three of our four miners have no beards! A travesty that can be fixed after some hard work, bu...

Could you give some broadstrokes descriptions of what your design process was for the second set of weapons when they came out, and/or OC's? What kinds of choices are you trying to encourage people to make when choosing their loadouts? What new roles were you trying to encourage the different classes to take on with these options? Big question, feel free to focus on some particular class/OC/weapon as an example.

If I buy the soundtrack now while it's on sale, will I get the hour of new tracks as well when they (hopefully) release with 1.0 launch?

Do you plan on adding an anti cheat? Now with deep dives, the game became competitive and cheats as simple as cheat engine can suck the fun out of competing.

Have you guys considered maybe doing a siege game mode on bug villages? Maybe they could inhabit the surface of another planet?

Any plans on increasing the base damage of the Engi's turret and the Zhukov Nuk17 by 1? These would be hugh QoL improvements in helping to waste less ammo on swarmers.

By "not changing the drops pacing" do you mean "we will not change the drop rate as we add more OCs, so it will take longer to get them all", or do you mean "we will not change how long it will take to get every OC, meaning as more OCs are added, the OC drop rate is higher"?

You released some mini statistics a year ago, showing the playerlevel distribution, the win / lose ratio of different game types and so on. Nothing of it seemed 'secret', but since then you did not post new stuff of it.

Can you 1. Give us a few new ones? Why, why not?

1. Is there actually more data you'd like to get, but don't get from the game yet?

2. Is there a stat telling you how many people play with which language / INGAME translation active?

3. And additionally: What EXACTLY are you collecting data of?

Any plans to make weapon mods and OC visible? For example using elephant rounds results in a bigger barrel of the gun etc.

Any plans on reworking HE Grenade? Can't say it's bad, just kinda boring in comparison. Something more gimmicky with weapons synergy would be nice. Maybe sound-shockwave grenade that rips off armor. And when thrown into the frozen bugs it makes them blow up with shards of ice damaging others, like cactuses. Just wondering.
