EVE never seems to have big shifts of power and no really big numbers of large fights.
Hey! Maybe that is the magic link between DUST and EVE everyone has been looking for?
I'm serious. Who would hire us? Would it be enough to keep 3,000 people busy?

A failure of game design common to both EVE and DUST atm is the compete lack of small-gang game mechanics and modes when it comes to nullsec/planetary sovereignty. We prolly have a greater opportunity to change that in DUST, tbh.
It is a crippling factor in EVE gameplay though, and it would be a tragedy if the same sterile game mode mechanics infected DUST. |

Eve-related good news from the pre-patch newsletter: http://www.eveonline.com/rubicon
"Control Your Destiny
Guerilla-style Warfare Support - Tactics to chip away at the behemoths have surfaced, allowing small fleets of mercenaries, saboteurs and troublemakers to become cause for concern for even the most reinforced of alliance strongholds."
This has been 10 years coming in EVE. If they can have it, we can have it.
What i'd like to see in PC in DUST is that every PC battle contract is actually comprised of a set of sub-contracts, some big, some small, etc., so that taking a district might mean 2 big(team) contracts, 2-3 medium(6v6) contracts and 3-4 small(3v3) contracts.
Contracts can be transferred or sold or auctioned or put up for bid or filled in-house, ofc.
These contracts could have a loose but not mandatory staging order. Success/failure in the early stages would affect bonuses, infrastucture, timers etc. in the later stages.
I always thought the first mission should be a small(3 merc) mission for scouts, the "Covertly install tacnet infrastructure mission". Degree of success here would determine the extent to which the attackers had tacnet. Would be cool if there was an optional EVE component hacking orbital relays and commsats also - another way in which EVE support could make a difference. |

That sounds six months to a year type stuff.
It's news about EVE, not DUST. You're right, i'm afraid, we poor mercs are going to have to wait a while.
But it's something to shoot for. |
