1. We lost a dustbro over the weekend - in General Discussions [original thread]
Orca was actually the one who sent me the link to the star citizen kickstarter back in the day, and the reason why we started our own org in it after Dust started to be less of a thing for us. Going to get the carrack he always wanted when the gam...

2. Eve is having free to play weekend. Back up Dust corps. - in General Discussions [original thread]
Corps will definitely be "transferred" because no transfer is necessary, they already and always have existed independently from Dust. It is almost guaranteed that we'll be able to reuse our character names, because they'll have no reason to keep ...

3. Our names wont be deleted... will they? - in General Discussions [original thread]
Our mercs exist in Eve. If you log in to Eve and fly your ship to the station your merc is in and dock, you see them in the station visitors list. They could fling all of the Dust servers into the ocean and our names would still be preserved, sinc...

4. Announcement:The Future of DUST 514 - in Announcement and Events [original thread]
Sad days. I haven't played more than a few times over the last year and I kind of miss it. I feel like the game itself improved a lot after the original Legion announcement, but so many Subdredditors had moved on by that point that playing was jus...

5. STOP THE TRADING FEE BEFORE IT HAPPENDS! - in General Discussions [original thread]
The reason these taxes exist in eve is to provide a sink for currency to leave the game through. Most MMOs have plenty of currency faucets but no sinks. After a few years in Everquest, for example, the average player was so absurdly wealthy that e...

6. iam ceo of pendejitos - in General Discussions [original thread]
I wrote about this problem very shortly after PC was released to us. There is no geography in Dust. Or, in other words, we don't actually exist in New Eden. If we did there would be some kind of limitation on how far we could travel in a given amo...

7. Legion should include 3rd person - in General Discussions [original thread]
I'd probably be ok with a third person view as long as it was tied very closely to your avatar and always points directly at you, no matter what angle it's at. This would let you, I think, look at your suit and behind you but not around corners. I...

8. Why is Project Legion not appearing at Fanfest 2014? - in General Discussions [original thread]
Yeah, I know a bit. I've been a professional developer for 10 years now. "It didnt run on any engine" And this is where I can tell you don't know a bit, and I'm not reading the rest of that blob of text until you learn to use paragraphs. An engi...

9. Why is Project Legion not appearing at Fanfest 2014? - in General Discussions [original thread]
Quote: Please tell me why any of this can't be done in dust? Because the PS3 didn't work for them as a platform. Two problems. Firstly the very obvious issue of hardware limitations. Legion runs the same engine as Dust. They've spent so mu...

10. Why is Project Legion not appearing at Fanfest 2014? - in General Discussions [original thread]
What has been announced for Legion so far is open world scavenging. That sounds fun, but it isn't enough for a compelling game. What they need is what Dust was supposed to have, a meaningful outcome for battles which affects a shared world. That m...

11. Unreal Engine 4 is now free [Or, CCP please transfer Dust 514 to UE4... - in General Discussions [original thread]
The engine Dust runs on is a heavily modified version of UE3, to the extent that they did a presentation about it at GDC. Something to do with ambient and reflecting light. It actually does things that UE4 does not do out of the box, which is why ...

12. Do nanite injectors even exist anymore? - in General Discussions [original thread]
People don't request revives so logis don't waste a slot carrying a needle. I don't play nearly as much as I used to, but when I do I nearly always run logi. Even if I'm playing solo. Links, reps, needle. I'm lucky if I see three people in a mat...

13. Scrutinizing the Long-Term of CCP Shanghai - in General Discussions [original thread]
Haven't read the whole thread yet, but here are some thoughts I've had since 1.9 was announced. What has been announced about Legion so far is the Eve equivalent of mission running and ninja salvaging. The essence of the gameplay is good, but ther...

14. MD on scout suits? - in General Discussions [original thread]
The hit and run aspect is what makes it amazing. The MD lets you attack in a way that makes it far easier to disengage and hide if you can't finish what you started.

15. MD on scout suits? - in General Discussions [original thread]
Used that fit ages ago, hilarious to run. Especially if you have good aim and can hit with your first shell. Cloak and ewar fit. Gotta train the skill to get extra ammo though, because you'll go through it pretty fast. It's even better if you can ...

16. Why do some people care so little about their KDR? - in General Discussions [original thread]
Mostly because KDR is not a measure of how useful you are as part of a team. If it's something you really care about it's actually a measure of how selfish you are. If you have an awesome KDR but lose matches because you're faffing about instead o...

17. **** the needle changes. - in General Discussions [original thread]
I always got way more points from a repair tool than an injector, to the point where I often just didn't carry one unless people in my squad were planning to use really nice gear and stick together. I'm not sure that I really agree with the change...

18. Remove AA - in General Discussions [original thread]
M/kb is still pretty bad in Dust compared to PC shooters, or even compared Dust itself in the early days. They made it start emulating a controller, so now aiming with a mouse is kind of slippery even with acceleration turned off. With a sniper ri...

19. [Eve-Dust] Interaction in FW - in General Discussions [original thread]
I haven't done orbitals at all in the last 5 months or so, but I did used to use my Dust account to find myself planets to bombard. I would regularly hit the same systems over, and over, and over. When Subdreddit was still doing FW syncs we'd also...

20. [Eve-Dust] Interaction in FW - in General Discussions [original thread]
The locations of FW battles in Dust are now determined by where Eve players are scoring points on the map in FW. FW battles appear to be spun up on demand, but get weighted so that they tend to be placed where the most eve-side action is happening...
