Other:

For some reason the game doesn't like custom tabletop arenas under the tabletop catergory.  It likes to crash.  But there are some tt arenas available under other categories such as Honey I Shrunk the Bots and the Pyramid (and the Ocean Platform coming in 2.0).

Actually most of the stuff you suggested is possible (only split screens and no/extended repair time limit aren't); the main limiting factor is time.  DSL 2.0 has been in development long enough and we want to get it out ASAP.  It's not likely we'll be starting anything new now, but I can tell you some of the things on that list have already been made :wink:
