1. An easy fix to shield and armor disparity - in General Discussions [original thread]
Essentially what you have rediscovered here is something that has long been known in EVE: For PvP (which is all we have, of course) gank and buffer tank trumps regeneration every time. The average engagement is too short for regeneration to have ...

2. Stealth - in Feedback/Requests [original thread]
I think the qualified answer is "maybe". Cloaks give a 25% reduction to signature. So on a scout suit that will start out as 35dB, an active cloak alone will turn that into 26.25dB. If the scout is running one of the races that reduces signature o...

4. Why are all minmatar suits losing their base armor rep rate in 1.8? - in General Discussions [original thread]
I see a reason why the Minmatar are having problems. As several have pointed out, the strength of the Minmatar lies in speed, which is not enough of an advantage given the low TTK we have right now, and high damage weapons, which any other race ca...

5. 1.8 confirmed for March. - in General Discussions [original thread]
Although I realize that an FPS is fundamentally different from Spreadsheets in Space, I remember when you would see "EVE is dying" all the time on the forums. Yet EVE is still around and still growing year after year. I have faith in CCP to eventu...

6. nothing free, still 4500 people logged in on sat - in General Discussions [original thread]
I don't know if the same will hold true of Dust, but one of the things I have found with EVE Online is that players leave for awhile and then come back. The fact that Dust will change over time, new things will be added, etc. gives a powerful ince...

7. a consern for cloaks. - in General Discussions [original thread]
It has already been stated that crosshairs will still go red on a cloaked target.

9. FEEDBACK: LAV's and roadkill - in Feedback/Requests [original thread]
I don't know about a LAV being destroyed from hitting a heavy, but there should be consequences. From a real world physics standpoint, the LAV experiences exactly the same forces as the infantry being hit. Suits, especially heavy suits, have quite...

10. HAV Operation Like a LAV - in Feedback/Requests [original thread]
I find the logic that a HAV should need multiple operators for maximum effectiveness to be valid. It usually takes multiple infantry to take one down. As far as EVE goes, battleships can have massive EHP and damage output compared to frigates beca...

11. Proving how old your Toon is - in General Discussions [original thread]
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=203355#post203355 This is the oldest post I could find. I was in only a month or two after the closed beta opened. I think I was in the second or third set of EVE player codes. I remember th...

13. the anti logi - in Feedback/Requests [original thread]
I really like the idea of the ammo stealer. Make it hard to find and destroy. It wouldn't show up as an onscreen icon or have a visible "pulse" effect to give it away. Just an onscreen notification that shows -X ammo or whatever. Maybe it only ste...

14. [Suggestion] Make Race and Bloodline matter in character creation - in Feedback/Requests [original thread]
This is actually the way it used to be in EVE. Then they realized that new players have no idea what it all means. They can't make meaningful choices, so they wind up with SP in skills they rarely if ever use. For instance, if a particular race an...

15. [Feedback/Request] Basic frames & specializations: differentation & cost - in Feedback/Requests [original thread]
I think that we need more suit options. First, make the "specialty" suits true tech II items. They are sort of that way anyway. In EVE, the TI ships have roles, but are much less specialized than T2 ships. IIRC, T1 ships have one set of role bonus...

16. EVE Exploration + DUST PvE Penetration Concept - in Feedback/Requests [original thread]
Another possible way to keep the EVE pilot engaged...rats trying to destroy the site. They warp in from long distance and the EVE player needs to destroy them before they come in range of the wreck. If they get hits off on the wreck, then stuff bl...

17. Welcome to a New Era - in General Discussions [original thread]
Forge guns are modified mining lasers. So, technically they are ORE tech, and not from any of the four player races.

19. New Blog: Keeping the Sniper Relevant - in General Discussions [original thread]
Quote: Intelligent response. I suggested bullet drop and target leading because I feel that sniping should be more rewarding for people who can use the weapon skilfully, and that provides a mechanic for them to do so. Although the bullets may...

20. Knifing a tank - in General Discussions [original thread]
Talking about while the reppers/boosters are running is a different set of numbers, and they can be figured into EHP. However, an active tank also has a DPS tank. If, for instance, a tank has a 100DPS tank (just making up numbers...I have no idea ...
