It may seem like the same old rhetoric, but I am being genuine and I really hope in time you'll understand where I'm coming from. :) No more "capture the Titan" thing? I was pretty hyped last year :( that was a terrible idea tbh capture the station i can get behind but capture the titan. well the eve player in me is frightened by it. a titan is a personal asset, a station is a corp/alliance asset.
So?
If people can jack our HAVs and other vehicles (I.e "personal assets"), then Eve players should be in danger of getting their ships jacked. It would only be fair.
This is why I look forward to potential boarding actions in Dust. I want to be able to board the ships of Eve pilots by means of boarding torpedo and fight my way to the bridge and assasinate the clone in it's pod.
Asset for asset, clone for clone. |

Exactly, when they bring out a ship for battle they risk losing it. Just like when we take out any drop suit for battle, expensive or not it's a risk.
Don't forget that some of our dropsuit fittings and vehicles are more expensive than some of the ships used in Eve.
There is no viable argument against us being able to board Eve ships and kill the clone piloting them. It doesn't really matter if a ship is lost to enemy fire or dust mercs boarding it. A ship lost is a ship lost regardless. |

I'm pretty sure that a Velator costs more than our most expensive dropsuits. 500K is absolutely nothing in EVE. That's like 2 blocks of un-refined high sec ice, which can be mined in about 2 minutes. Now, as for boarding Titan's and killing the capsuleer from the inside I say YES PLEASE!
Sure, but what's to stop ccp from releasing something in Dust that would cost as much as a Velator?
My point here is: anytime you take something out to play, be it a ship in EVE or a dropsuit in DUST you admit the risk of losing it. This is New Eden after all.
I argue this because you can bet that quite a few Eve-pilots would protest loudly against any ideas of boarding their precious ships and assassinating their clones. They suffer from some kind of delusion that they are "better" than Dust mercs and feel that their carebear ways should place them above risk. |
