1.7 fps
2170 players on grid
Over 200,000 US dollars destroyed
Been fighting most the day

I hope one day Dust has day long battles close to this scale Big smile

I do as well but.....1.7 fps would suck..........

But I definitely do want to believe that one day on open fields, with massive well designed servers we could see 128v128.....on all the districts of all planets....of the systems of the region.....

Lol, and to think that this could be going on right now in DUST if only we had an EVE code based PC version of the game instead of this kiddie console FPS crap based on some old Unreal code.

The crap being argued over on these forums should have never existed. That goes for the balance b*tching, features, number of players per match, thumb jockey epeening and anything other than how a match is affecting EVE PI.

You should already have lost faith in CCP from the beginning if you came from EVE and saw the progression this game has taken from the moment it was announced it would be on the Playstation.

The only reason I ever started playing this game and still do is that I'm partial to the ground combat basis and background of EVE. It's heartbreaking to see CCP fail and have to redouble it's efforts like this.

PLEX market price is at about 660 million ISK at the moment. Considering that one PLEX equals to about $19.95 on average ($17.50 per plex if you buy the 28 pack), that would equate to about $4,473.63 for that Titan loss alone ($3924.24 based on the $17.50 figure). Assuming each of those lost Titans share the same value, that would equate to no less than $364,954.32 with 93 titans lost. Again, this is just an estimate based on the value of that lost ship alone. The other Titans may have used cheaper fits for all I know. We need to wait for an official tally of the value. Stay tuned for any news at TheMittani.com website.

Rumors are circulating that the estimated loss of titans on the side of the Clusterfuck Coalition (CFC) + Russians is actually less than the projected number.

Would be an immense experience. It would be interesting to see how CCP manages time dilatation in a context such as that. I can imagine it now. Picture it, Dust 514, 5 years from now, an epic battle of 128v128 in an open field with a fleet of 3000 ships duking it out in space with TiDi at 10% slower than normal. You are a Caldari Assault and out of the corner of your eye you see a Minmatar Ninja pop out of a corner from your side with a pair of high-damage Ishukone knives. You try to turn, but time has slowed down to 10% and now you and the ninja are in a slow-motion race against who can reach to each other the first. 5 minutes later, you two finally make contact and suddenly you die because your gun didn't turn in time even though your gun was just a inch away from headshotting him.

Even ones not fully officer fit has top tier deadspace models and can easily cost over 80 Bill. what are the advantages of those 2? how do you get officer stuff? Usually the officer/deadspace gear provide excellent fitting stats which make them highly sought after by many capsuleers who are always on a fitting budget (CPU/PG wise).

Although true, Eve Online launched on a VERY different kind of platform, at a VERY different time in gaming. As far as the greater market is concerned, Dust 514 was a failed attempt at or perhaps even before its "release." Despite Eve being on a different platform and on a different genre, 10 years ago Eve Online was considered a major joke. Even the graphics were not considered good at all at the time. If I recall the history of CCP, I think it was said that the original publisher said something to the effect of the following in regards to the graphics of Eve... "Is that it?" CCP even offered EA Games a chance to publish the game for them but EA laughed them out of the building while their fans predicted that EA's Earth & Beyond will crush Eve Online. A few years later... EA announced the closure of the E&B server and ultimately E&B. CCP took in the disgruntled players and EA has not forgiven CCP for that ever since.

Im broke Please ccp Cant post on eve forums as my character isnt created yet, just my account There is a FREE-to-play option (somewhat) , but you have to know how to make a good profit (in ISK) in a short amount of time to sustain it. You can create a 21-day free trial using the link I posted in the previous page. If you can earn a little over 670 million ISK in under 21 days, then that means you'll be able to afford a PLEX using that ISK and then that PLEX can be redeemed to extend game time. Unfortunately it's not that easy making 670 million ISK in that short amount of time for a first time Eve player. You will really have to grind for the profits.

The closest you'll ever get is PLEX and the 21-day free trial I mentioned. Besides, running those damn servers that can handle the most expensive battle in MMO history is not cheap.

If you think about, there really is real-world money involved. Eve Online allows you the ability to purchase PLEX with cash and then trade that PLEX away to another player in exchange for the in-game currency ISK. That other player can then use that PLEX to either trade it again for a higher profit or use it to extend their own game time by 30 days. It's because of this mechanic that we are able to attach actual $$$ figures to the battles in Eve giving us a perspective of the extent of each battle.

Exactly. Imagine the effort put into one Titan Class ship alone. Under the current mechanics, Titans can only be built in null-sec (0.0) space inside a player-owned structure (POS aka Control Tower) in a system that has it's status upgraded to support such a manufacturing effort. That involves security and having an indispensable fleet of miners on your side that can bring in much needed minerals. Titans also require special materials that regular miners can't get access to: T2 components which can only be acquire via moon resource harvesting which only the POS can go. This makes some moons with the needed materials highly lucrative. There is also the expense of providing the fuel needed for those POSes to operate and hiring logistical help to maintain that supply. There is also the fact that skilled marketeers are employed to look for supplies at the cheapest rate possible per unit to cut down on cost while also employing low-sec haulers to move critical supplies from high-sec to null-sec when needed. As you can see, this is not easy at all and takes weeks of preparation and production just to produce one titan. Dedicated Scout // Ninja Knifer *CLOSED BETA VETERAN SINCE REPLICATION BUILD*
