I really like the idea of linking this to exploration. You probe down an archaeology site, hire mercs, "fit them" into a special "merc torpedo" module or something. Activate your hacking module to bring down the shields and fire your mercs into the wreck. Mercs would fight drones and recover some artifact thing of high value. Mercs could accidentally trip off alarms which would send a reinforcement wing of rats to attack your ship. Maybe the Eve pilot could destroy certain modules on the enemy ship that would help the DUST mercs somehow.

If this goes down in highsec, you can compete for a site with your own set of mercs. The EVE ships can't shoot each other unless flagged, but their competing merc teams can fight each other and the drones onboard. The victorious team retrieves the loot, and the EVE pilot pays out his squad.

It might even be possible to ransome merc clones somehow.

That would be an interesting way to PvE with both games.

+1 The high value item being key to the post, current data sites seem low on these, Risk=ISK yes but there seems to be a lack of Isk return for Risk. PVE in any manner in Dust is definitely welcome.

I have said this on other threads, but I want to spread the word so this can be implemented or thought about...Here's how it goes

In Eve, there are massive battles of epic proportions, colossal warships get destroyed in the process. This is where Dust plays in. A large battle has been carried out, thousands of ships die, and two titans are crippled and lay still, a quiet knelling in the darkness of space. An Eve carrier arrives nearby but at a distance, and launches several pods to a couple of the larger ships, and the two titans. The pods are filled with soldiers, ready to reclaim these titans are refit them with a warp drive that will bring them to a safe stargate for warping into a haven where a corporation can salvage the wreck and remake ships out of them for a much cheaper price than insurance or buying it anew. Another Eve ship comes by and pelts the wreckage with its own pods. This is where the fun begins. Dust and Eve players, fighting over scraps of wreckage for isk, loot, and ships. Isk won't be as high, but loot will be bountiful for Eve and Dust players, and of course, winner gets the scraps!

The match ends with the ship glowing slightly in a certain section, then warping off into somewhere else....

WWWWADDYA THINK, CCP, MERCS, CAPSULEERS, ETC!?

What's to stop the guys who blew up the titan from simply blowing up the wreck too? Or salvaging it with a salvager unit? Also Titans can't use star gates. They use jump drives and fuel. The other problem is that titans are HUGE, like REALLY F*UCKING HUGE. I don't even think a PS6 could render the map on that thing.

I don't even think a PS6 could render the map on that thing. And it would take a level designer her entire natural lifespan to design the level for 1 Titan, let alone texture it, fill it with objects, and QA it for bugs. For a sense of scale, look at this image. See those tiny specs for each race? Those are frigates, which are the size of 747s. You actually answered this one your self really, you don't think. A level designer? Who makes a game were one guy designs a whole level then builds it? This ain't Russia. And are you trying to say a ps4 is a tiny bit better than ps3? Like I said some really negative people posting here, next you'll be saying its impossible for egyipt to build pyramids back in the day, people like you stop mankind from achieving the impossible and stop us from making it look easy. Building the pyramids would be easy compared to creating the digital assets of the interior of a single titan (let alone 4 of them). I really don't think you fully appreciate their size. Look at this clip (skip to the end for titans) to get an appreciation for just how insanely massive they are. You could have 1000 v 1000 man fights and run around for hours before ever seeing another enemy. I don't think a play station 6 could handle it, let alone a ps4. In order to make this happen, CCP would have to create massive different areas of the ship which would only represent less than 1% of the actual ship for us to fight on. If that's the case, why not just fight on more realistic hulls?
