mah_dispenser Unlikely to happen before next summer. Right now it's important to optimize the new Core in preparation for the campaign mode and future features like fighters that will lag the game.
New parts aren't going to be coming fast now. I doubt new special features will be higher priority than parts. There are still tons of bugs that won't be fixed until after release at best.
Campaign mode is a must have. Everything else has to give way to it now.
