I think they need to begin developing true FTL travel like the necrons. Make it completely warp free- it fits the Tau ideas on using safe technology. Keep it in the development stage or it will make them appear far to powerful.

Refining their current ftl drive is imo sufficient, unless GW plans to let them take over an entire Segmentum

Love the tau, but I'm not expecting much with the new codex, just battlesuits more in line with the current FW ones that are incredibly popular, and updated rules. Possibly some new characters, but other than that i don't think they will change much fluff-wise. They suit being a fledgling race, otherwise (as mentioned above) they would be far too powerful, and they suit the fragility and experimentation of a young race imo!
