Upcoming Features - A List of What's Planned

This is a list I put together of features that have been directly commented on by developers coming from four sources. I only went back to about May of 2016 on Reddit and only barely scratched the surface of the Squad forums as it is harder to find direct responses from developers on the forums than it is on Reddit. Ideally, I would like this list to be available to all branches of the Squad community, not just Reddit, so we don't keep asking the devs the same goddang questions every two weeks.

There is no timeframe for the release of these features unless otherwise specified.

DISCLAIMER: Although these are direct comments by the devs, it is possible that any of these features could/could not be implemented. Game development is fluid, things change and it is likely that at least some of these features won't make it to the final release. When asked about this list, the devs said they could not comment for the above reason.
