Vrain Matari ZionTCD Public Disorder. 1201	Posted - 2013.11.12 03:43:00 - [1] - Quote How and when are we going to evolve DUST out of the lobby shooter structure it's currently trapped in? Is that going to happen on the PS3 or will we need to wait for a more robust platform? What are the necessary and sufficient conditions for CCP to begin thinking about allowing us to break out of the lobby and into the sandbox?
Vrain Matari ZionTCD Public Disorder. 1203	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:32:00 - [2] - Quote Will mercs be given the ability to manufacture? And if not, why not? New Eden is beautiful, but without players she is lifeless, an automaton. What can we do with DUST to bring New Eden to life? Are there any plans to add any kind of dynamics or ecology into our virtual universe? Drones are going to play a very interesting role in New Eden, in that they will bridge the EVE-DUST experience and provide a shared experience for podpilots and mercs. It would be an integrative and world-building thing if the resources yielded by drones were to some extent similar in both games - enough to provide a commonality and a basis for a storyline(s). Would CCP consider investing in a coherent, consistent, adaptive drone ecology that spanned heaven and earth? What kind of world-building does CCP want to do? To this point i believe it's fair to say that all efforts have been focused on providing players with the tools they need to generate their own stories. That is well and good and has succeeded admirably in EVE and shows genuine promise in DUST. New Eden has been used only as a backdrop against which to tell these stories. Does CCP envision the evolution of New Eden into a dynamic actor in future stories? Will we get asymmetric gamemodes? E.g., Defenders starting with a hackable defender missile installation to reduce incoming dps on their warbarge? When will our mercenary clones get real clone bodies? Is there anything coming up in the future from game design that will make a dent in the protostomping/NPE problem? I believe that TTK was never intended to be as short as it is now. What kind of FPS does CCP want DUST to be? Will EVE-launched OBs ever be able to target and destroy surface infrastucture?

(not the infrastructure but the landscape?) As a follow up to this i'd like to know to know exactly how CCP intends to generate terrains for all those planets and all those planet types. At the current rate of map production we will have approx 40 megaterrains 10 years from now. This would be considered an exceptional achievement for a generic FPS, but would have to be considered as some kind of failure in New Eden, where each of these planets are unique. CCP's original statements on the subject implied that they had a robust terrain-generation technology that built maps based on planetary parameters. Is CCP going to invest resources in making each planet unique?

We have had statements of "Soon, not Soon with a TM," but I think the community as a whole would appreciate a statement to the effect, "We are reaching for January or February, but May 2014 will be the latest realistic time before these are implemented." A statement like that would reduce a whole lotta complaining around here. Very much +1.
Vrain Matari ZionTCD Public Disorder. 1212	Posted - 2013.11.12 17:30:00 - [6] - Quote Will it be possible to host DUST on Gaikai and would that yield a reasonable experience for players in all regions?
Vrain Matari ZionTCD Public Disorder. 1228	Posted - 2013.11.14 23:37:00 - [7] - Quote +1 to Celus Ivara. Nice compilation, makes a good reference =) I support SP rollover.
