A bullet proof Dust vision

I am a Merc , my clients are Eve players and to a lesser extend Dust players.

The Eve GÇôDust link should be primarily focused on the relationship between a Eve player and a Dust player. (To a lesser extend at Corp level and Alliance level).

From an Eve perspective Dust should be a household name . If you as a pilot have a problem get the bat phone and call up your preferred Dust supplier.

This ground level interaction would be the only solid foundation for the Eve- Dust link. How this could be achieved :

1.Through PVE interaction
-Eve pilots have missions , a lot of those missions require the Eve pilot to extract some sort of a mission item out of a station. Give the pilot the option to contract Dust players to rescue the damsel in distress for bonus points or get additional salvage.
-Or extract that very important artefact.
-Go and explore a sleeper station for sleeper technology, you have different level alien bosses that spawn random in this cold and twisted sleeper station environment.

2.PVP interaction
-Eve player hires a dust corp to defend or attack POCOS.
-Faction warfare

The LINK should be primarily focused on player vs player , that should be the Dust 514 vision , once achieved then focus on the meta game

Why are we not funding this

Why are we not funding this

Thoughts?

(Many of which are laid out on the EVE forums by disgruntled players that feel like we've stolen their Dev's time and effort).

Those threads are the BEST.

I get no end of laughs trashing those ******* morons.

What part of SEPARATE STUDIOS do they not understand?

I'd really love to see boarding actions on EVE capital ships.
Racing through corridors trying to blow up the reactor.
Tense firefights in close quarters
Scouts accessing ducts and small spaces using remote explosives to set up traps

If anything to take the fight to those snobby, rich capsuleer's (even if it is at the beck and call of another)

Boarding Capitals would have to be a time consuming and very risky process though. There is no reason for us to be able at the drop of a hat kill a Capital Ship.

I imagine boarding parties would be small frigate ships loaded up with a specific amount of resources, all resources are lost if you get shot down mid flight and no support or reinforcement will come when you board the ship, as well as being heavily out numbered by the enemy, and of course the Cap Ship having its own internal defence systems.



It is not right that we can blap a $2000 ship with not effort put in.

oh goodness yes. With CRU's built into the ship and inaccuracies meaning raiding parties entering off target I'm sure it will be a huge labour getting to the objective
