When i go to the marked and buy some duvolle assault rifles, im getting rifles NOT BPC's. i dont have to craft anything, and we cant craft in Dust at all.
When i go to the marked and buy a BPO of a millitia assault rifle, im NOT getting a BPO,
im getting a rifle i dont Loose in combat when i die, its not a BPO.
I think its a Little funny and also a fail, that 2 games (Eve online and Dust 514) Both goes on in New Eden, the games are Integrated, pilots and mercs are in the same corps, but BPO's and BPC's are 2 very different things in the 2 games. Thanks for this thread.
SgtDoughnut has a good back story that fits with EVE lore when he says Quote:You actually are not buying the rifles, what you are buying is an instruction set (aka blueprints) for when you respawn. Each of these instruction sets is only good for 1 copy, when you respawn it uses a small wormhole and nano machines to transport your fresh clone to the location, then using the nano machines it assembles the suit and weapons on the fly.
This is why when you swap suits in a depo it gives you full armor, and it also does not store the old suit and its condition, its much faster and easier on the machine and nanites to just make a fresh copy, since you are still alive and able to interact the supply depo is able to use your current set of instructions to rebuild the suit. As other folks have said -- even though it will be a long time down the road -- crafting in DUST 514 will bring a lot of changes. It may be that when that happens Mercs or corporations won't have to pay for the BPO after they acquire it -- but the will have to rent / buy the manufacturing facilities and materials even for BPOs they own. An alternative is just to buy everything off the market. Another story could be that whoever contracts the battle provides the materials and facilities and the Mercs provide the "templates" for the equipment they prefer.
It's a tribute to CCP that in EVE they actually addressed the thorny problem of Digital Rights Management in the age of 3D local manufacturing 10 years ago.

The items have assigned volume and mass. They ate "tangible". In respect with VR of New Eden of course  So why it's different anyway with DUST "items" limited to BPOs and BPCs only? How about this...
Even in New Eden technology moves on. DUST 514 clone technology is more flexible than EVE clone technology. Why not on-the-fly manufacturing? Those new BPOs and BPC have in them the knowledge to manufacture single items very rapidly if they have the new assembly structures, materials and short-distance-delivery-systems in place.

That makes sense to me. It explains why I have 45 GEK Assault Rifles in my inventory, but they can appear at any point on any planet instantly when I need them. If we draw out Sgt Doughnut's idea to those 45 BPCs you don't have the items in inventory -- you have the rights to build 45 items on-the-fly as you need them. It's a small thing, but if we're trying to build a back story it will make a difference.
Somebody -- the Mercenary, the corporation they belong to, the corporation funding the battle -- will provide high technology, small scale, high speed manufacturing and materials on the battlefield. The mercenary will provide the rights and instructions to build the equipment they prefer.
When the Mercenaries are starting out they don't get to customize -- they get the starter fits -- which are built in BPOs for basic stuff.

As far as research / BPO copying is concerned I could see that being limited to EVE side or to Mercenaries that want to invest in a crafting skill set. That way people that don't care don't have to deal with it. Those that do could make a deliberate choice to go in that direction. The EVE side work could be the back-up for it all. |
