CCP you dont like my idea?

I hear there are other teams working on PvE game modes...

Sorry, I did read your post but my response was not very clear as I was in a bit of a rush. That is my fault, sorry.

As much as possible we would like to keep the extraction of resources an active experience. Not something you click go on, come back to later, and $$$$. We would like to see the things you get from SI be things that encourage fighting and that sort of thing.

DUST is very much about being an FPS as well, not manufacturing things. EVE players who want the resources should maybe pay DUST players to fight to get them, but I just don't see DUST players being the ones to collect resources that EVE players already have access to. That does not mean no never, just... well there is so much other things to do first. I would however like to see clones used in EVE.

(...)FoxFour and myself have been getting into deep design discussion about the future of Planetary Conquest which we hinted at in the last developer blog. Splitting the ISK earning from clones and creating a demand in EVE for a new commodity is going to be key to getting EVE players to care about what happens in PC. The CPM and CSM have also been speaking together about this very topic and we have some, lets say interesting, plans to make PC a little more open and "sandbox like" as well as unique from instant battles.

For now though, we will be watching to see if these changes are enjoyed by those corps who want to put in the effort required to play in the deep end of the pool.

(...)While there is no release date or schedule for this stuff here are some things we are actively working towards:

• Separating clones from being the profit maker in Planetary Conquest.
• Introducing a new "thing" to do that generates resources which EVE players care about.
• Said thing should be something anyone else can come and interrupt, preventing your generation of resources and taking it for themselves.
• Separating the battles that conquer planets from the battles that generate resources.
• Building the EVE link by letting EVE players move resources for DUST players.

Again I cannot stress enough that there is no schedule for the above stuff, no designated order for what will be released first, but those are the things we are talking about and trying to work towards for Planetary Conquest.

I also want to reinforce that we will be continuing to watch how Planetary Conquest goes, continue to monitor graphs, numbers, database stuff, logs, and all the assorted things relating to this feature to help us continue balancing in the future. This is not a balance pass then walk away until new features thing. This is something we will continue to monitor and iterate on.

Summary: The future is awesome!(...)
