This is an epically awesome idea. i had a few suggestions to add onto it, but the forums thought it was a HTML, and wouldn't let me post it.
I'd say walk in my shoes for a day, but you probably still won't understand.

Please post them when you get the chance. I'm interested in any/all ideas about how to improve and expand this idea. There have been many awesome suggestions so far.
Here is attempt number two, if you see this, then the forums didn't mistake it for a HTML.
How to get the mercs: in normal situations, the eve pilot can send out a public contract that can be fillid up by 6 or 8 mircs, like how where currently qued for gamemodes. But what if the pilot knows some mircs that would be perfect for the job? The pilot cans send invites to mircs like how we invite are friends to are squad. Sending an invite to a squad leader will bring the whole squad with him.
Getting the mircs there: like the warbarge, we can chill in the pilot's cargo hold untill he gets there. When we all arrive he loads as many clones as he can or willing to lose into a special CRU that he fires like a torpedoe. That CRU will act as are default spawn point unless uplinks are present.
The CRU: this special CRU should be built like a small ship. Somewhere for the first batch of clones (the boddies we inhabit at that time) to ride in, as well as hold what were after when we head back to the eve pilot's ship.
Lighting: I like the idea of the lights might not be working, in witch case will need flashlights. Gun mounted lights sound a bit old fashined, and if I recall right, the triangle button dosent do anything unless your in a vehicle. So maby dropsuits should have a built in light that can be toggeled with the triangle button.
What the eve pilot can do: He could eather scan, or fight what ever comes his way if needed be. If the pilot can't scan, then will have to use dropsuit passive scaners, and active scanner equipment. The pilot may also want to see how the mission is going. He could just right click a mirc in the team chat, select "spectate mirc", and then a window will pop up showing the eve player what the dust player sees. If a pilot wants to spectate a mirc in a different channel, then the mirc will get a notifacation asking if he wants so and so to spectate him. And this might be much but if the mirc says no then the pilot can always hack his way into your eyes.
I'd say walk in my shoes for a day, but you probably still won't understand.

Ladies and gentlemen, we need to do everything in our power to never let Vell0cet's idea die. I'm determined to see this become a thing in DUST and EVE.
Additional suggestions:
Hostile environment: some sites' life support systems could be offline, in witch case mercs will have five minutes of stored oxegin. The team could dicide to go hard core and try to get the item in five minutes per spawn, or help the eve pilot rewire and hack into the life support system.
Getting the right mercs: there is talk of a social hub, for mercs and pilots to interact in the same place. This michanic could also play an important roll in getting the right mercs for the job.
Payment: as we all decided, the pilot will pay the mercs to get his treasures. It needs to be a pay will be happy with that won't brake his wallet. I for one have been okay with 200k isk after battles, so if its 200k per merc, and the gamemode allows a squad atthe most, then that would be 1mill isk out of the pilot's wallet. Is that a lot to a pilot?

Thank you for sharing this with the eve pilits, fox. I'm going to keep a close eye on it. So far it sounds like mixed feelings.
And Oso, you make a vary valid point on the weapon production, but I feel like we should be able to produce our own gear. I think I'll start a thread latter about the aspect of mining and production since it isnt the same thing as what this thread is about, but ties into it.
Getting into this game mode should defedently require an invite from a pilot, and squads may need a capsoler tab in them like the team chat has in FW.
Oso also made a point that dust needs a shared market and a PvE mode on the ground before we can dive into this idea. We all want to see this idea triumph, but we need all our basic content first before CCP can start to work on more fancy stuff like this.

Ayures II wrote:I don't think anybody in EVE would go for this. Why would I sit at a wreck long enough for a squad to accept the contract, load the map, and then get into a fight? We're talking at least like 15 minutes here.
If you could figure out a way for this to work, though, I think an EVE pilot should be able to restrict contracts the same way as fleets (such as only allowing corps in their alliance or blues).
So far it looks like mixed feelings.

Do to high shcool, I can't . But I plan to make next year's fanfest my first out of country experience. Even if we do get PvE between this fanfest and next fanfest, I think CCP is going to start us off with clearing out drone infestations, witch would be fun and all, but your idea; would have to be next step in PvE. The interaction with EVE in this perposal would instantly create the kind of bond CCP was looking for. Iv shared this idea with a few people in game over coms, and iv so far, haven't heared any objections.
If I was able to attend fan fest this year, id probably have copies of this thread on paper to hand to every dev I see.

Sadly it would seem that we won't be seeing this in dust, but are we willing to get this in legion?
