Aprone has mentioned that he has a couple of new mission types partially
developed, but due to increased troublemaker activity, he's had to shelve
their development in favor of security fixes.
Based on the interview he gave in the anniversary special (which you can
also find in the drop box folder, the new version is well under way, to the
point where he's testing a completely rewritten server end and has begun
implementing features that will allow him to more easily launch events such
as the dire swarm near the factory.
Hard core mode is a prominent feature in the update, or so he hopes. From
his description, missions in HC mode will have to be different as there will
be no reputation. Food becomes sort of the new currency in the HC economy.
It could be that we'll see missions to recover food directly.
Really, the interview is probably the best way to learn about the upcoming
things in Swamp.
