for not letting us actively coordinate attcks on districts with Eve pilots and Dust mercs?
No military fights a war with its army acting independently of its navy. They work together, attacking the same objectives.
I'm curious as to why CCP doesn't let Dust mercs use the star map to actually choose the districts they want to attack. Right now we end up in a match, usually in a district on a planet too deep behind enemy lines to receive assistance from Eve pilots or be of any help in an actual invasion of a system.
CCP, is there a technical limitation keeping from letting us choose perticular districts to attack?
also, why arent there any FW outposts that can be fought over by both Dust merc and Eve pilots?
and one final question... will it ever be possible to capture Eve FW space stations in Dust as mercs, to flip their ownership/sovereignty in Eve? |

It just works better to be automatically assigned to matches. You used to be able to choose a match to play.

Oh gee, I dunno, couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that we are on planets and capsuleers aren't...

No. Stations are usually owned by non-military corporations, not the factional navy, plus there's no reason to add a feature because it wouldn't change anything. If we ever do get the ability to board and conquer stations, they'll be player stations, not NPC stations.
What's the difference between an immobile Minmatar ship and a pile of garbage?
The pile of garbage looks nicer.

it doesn't work better when your pilots are in one particular system theyre trying to flip and your squad keeps ending up on planets distant and unrelated to their efforts. right now we have to give the location of whatever battle we're in and hope the pilot can get there. problem is that Dust mercs don't understand what pilots have to deal with just to get there. its mostly just too inconveinent for them to help us when we're so far away or too far into enemy territory.

we're on planets for now...
and im not talking about pilots flying over our heads while we fight either. only that the locations be the same or near by. an example would an orbital elevator on a planet. the mercs fight for control of it on their side, while pilots fight for control of the other end in orbit. the benefit of using the same location is that there would always be both mercs and/or pilots at that location, which lends to a greater Dust/Eve link. When Dust mercs can actually shoot back at pilots it will be even better.

Im talking about the station's factional sovereignty, which is different. You flip a system in Eve and the stations all stay the same even though system belongs to a different faction. If we added sovereignty to the individual staions as well, it would open them up for things like.... taking over a station being used for enemy staging. capturing it would prevent them from accessing the station and deny them all of their ships |

Yeah, I know what you're talking about, and it's still a terrible idea.

why is it a terrible idea? do you have an idea?
i think its a good idea. it makes it gives mercs more power within the overall Eve universe and increase the Eve/Dust link. |

Upon accepting an fw contract you enter into that factions armed forces as a soldier.
If you want to do the kind of stuff you stated then do planetary jokefest, I'm warning you though, its utter sht in general.
More of a popularity/isk farm than anything
Level 1 forum warrior.
Minmatar and Gallente fw.
I sold my wife and kids to the Amarr for isk, its a valid tactic.

That already happens when you take a system. You can't access stations in the FW regions unless the system they're in belongs to your militia. |

yea i know that but, im talking about capturing the stations individually, so you wouldnt have to wait til the whole entire system is flipped.
you send merc in to capture the enemy staging station to keep them from getting to their ships, and you can basically cut them off from their supplies and capture the system faster |

It's not happening. EVE players would get pissed off too much by this.
