An internal titan battle would be a multi-staged fight, starting with the entry point. Winning the entrance battle opens two new titan 'districts' for battle. The attacking force then picks one of the new opened districts and attacks, making their way deeper into the vessel.

Losing pushes the attackers further back to their staging point, and winning allows them deeper access to the titan. A titan should have around x districts from entry to victory. While battles are raging inside the titan, the titan remains in space, cannot perform emergency warp. It can warp, unless the warp-drive district has been captured by the attacking mercenaries. The pilot can eject. The pilot can jump, unless the jump-drive district has been captured or is contested by attacking mercenaries. The pilot can activate modules, unless that individual module's district has been captured or is being contested by enemy mercenaries.

A titan should have a district created for each module fitted, a district for its drone bay, a district for each of its hangars.
The number of district battles is equal to the number of MCCs attacking the titan.

Our glorious MCC engages a titan, launching its phased cru at the titan. As long as the MCC is cycling its boarding party module, the battle can continue inside the titan. If the mcc is destroyed, the battle ends in a loss.

example:
The First MCC engages, activating its boarding parties. Bzzzzooomp, the titan sees that boarding parties are active in his ship, he tells his people to primary the mcc, then, boom, mcc engaged. However, the mcc is telling his friends to give him reps, so he is maintaining his link to the Titan. Ewar engages, breaking the link to the mcc.

The battle still continues inside the titan, however, the invaders inside cannot spawn in after their death. Suddenly, the ewar has been destroyed, and the mcc regains his lock on the titan and reactivates his boarding party module. The invaders can spawn in again, hurrah!

More and more MCCs engage, up to 36, creating 36 battles inside of the titan, moving closer to the core. Suddenly, no longer able to control the ship, his guns have gone offline, his hi-slots, mid slots, and low slots are all offline, his various bays are locked and he can no longer warp or jump, his capacitor is no longer charging, the pilot finds himself having been forcibly ejected from his ship.

Countdown to fanfest, for your convenience of course

agreed.

kinda getting tired of the op cycles

but on the positive side there will be many more ps4 games in a few months

I don't care anymore. This game is nothing like it was in 2009 and unless I see something big at fanfest I'm not coming back.
And lol OP I wouldnt know where to begin with all the mistakes made by ccp.
I definitely couldn't fit it in one question.

Planetside 2 on Steam now and PS4 E3 time I would guess. If Titanfall hadn't been grabbed by MS and had made to PS4 that probably would have pushed me over the purchasing edge for one.

You're right though, many new games in the pipe. When you look past the dust.

People forgetting stuff like Paintbucket, Player market, Gun Customization, and the Vita app? lol these things CCP made it sound like they're right there and ready to be released.

Again I say Fanfest is just another platform that CCP can sell people pipedreams on about DUST.

Something as mundane in EVERY shooter... gun customization, adding different sights... 2 years DUST has none of that. Just SMH at the shortcomings of this game.

Call me a hater, call me a bitter vet, IDGAF, I played this game for a long time, invested time and money into it, and CCP delivered next to nothing. Took 2 years to get all the heavy suits... like is that a joke? Not a single new heavy weapon, maybe another 2 years huh?

I'll be watching Fanfest, and eagerly await to see of someone has the balls to ask the real questions. I doubt it though, but I can hope.

^

I also want to add that, dust has not evolved in ANY WAY towards a MMO during 2013, which is the games main differentiator compared to other FPS. Its only buffs and nerfs.

I doubt there will actually be a FanFest.

It's just another CCP promise.

Agreed. And that is despite them having to throw most of their plans out the window after Uprising hit. I'm definitely not impressed by what CCP has done in the past 12 months, but I can see that, in their less-than-ideal ways, they are trying.

agreed, it seems like they are actually trying with 1.7 and 1.8. I just hope that it's not too late.

it looks like they are trying.
on the other hand the feedback/game development forums scream not interested/not careing due to lack of organization.

Yup I'm not interested that much in the new suits and weapons, it's still ambush, skirmish and domination over and over again with a few new toys. Sort of seems like 1.8 was rushed cuz of some of the texture on the new heavies. At least it seems like they are trying, but it won't matter at all if they don't have anything close to THIS!! before Destinys release and before everyone reaches their limit with Dust 514.

Less nerf/buff, more new content please

Too much nerfing and buffing for a whole year, while there will always need to be some adjusting to new weapons,suits, and vehicles it really shouldn't take this long to do such things. But how many programmers and how long does it take to change the stats on one weapon, dropsuit or vehicle? I don't know how big their dev team for Dust is but cmon are their programmers really that bad? I've been told or heard plenty of times in squads I've been in that CCP's programmers are so ******* terrible.

They don't have a large team of developers, and the longer they spend catering to those people who whine and cry about "THIS IS OP THIS IS UP NERF THIS BUFF THAT WAH WAH WAH", the less time they have to add more vehicles, weapons, maps, suits, or, the big one, more EVE link. If the cycle of of buffing and nerfing continues, the game will take longer to balance. Nerfing/Buffing cycles are not balancing, balancing is what we want to have, but when you go to these here forums saying "Tanks are super OP, nerf them", and they get nerfed into near worthlessness, have you balanced the game? Or was your goal of making tanks soloable by a militia swarm accomplished because you can't be bothered to play as a team (This is purely an example and "you" does not refer to the person I'm quoting). Honestly, just keep things as they are, and if something needs to be balancing, let it be balanced, and let's start demanding for new things, not nerf/buffs.

"Considering the rate at which CCP develops Dust 514, is it safe to tack on a year to whatever dates you provide during Fanfast?"

Gets the point across while not being a douche about it.

I have to agree with the running feeling in here. Having been here for nearly a year now, and having read and watched videos of earlier Dust versions before I arrived, I wonder myself where Dust is heading.

There's two main things keeping me here yet. The first is all of the guys in my corp group, as they make playing matches fun. The second is all of the money I've sunk into this game. I've already put hundreds of dollars into Dust (probably way over 1m AUR by now) and if I don't start to see more active development ideas that don't take 3/4 a year to put out, I'm going to stop buying stuff.

I seriously hope CCP revitalizes Dust, because as far as I'm concerned, 1.7 (and the majority of Uprising) was a huge disaster and just adding a bunch of extra suits isn't going to fix that. We need more interfacing with EVE to make us actually relevant to the EVE universe. There should be an implementation of where our fights on the ground actually change things EVE-side. I've always been for something like from Star Wars Battlefront 2 where you could fight in space in ships or installations on foot, and also on the ground on planets. Something like that combined with the player market could be a huge boost for Dust.

As someone that is planning to buy another ps3 for this game, I would really hate to have CCP announce a ps4 version during fanfest :/

How much USD currncy would it take to buy CCP? Im serious. I have something that, can make me a billionaire and also stop the use of nuclear power in many countries.
Oops, made it look like you said that. its fixed now :)

Setting up in Shanghai kind of makes me ask a few questions, why set up in Shanghai for Dust 514? Is it cheaper to get office space in Shanghai than it is in Iceland? Are you able to pay some people you hire from Shanghai or any other economic free zone in China so much less than you can pay people from any where else in the world? Not saying that you don't have people that aren't from China though( I don't know though so I can't be sure at all ) How much attention does CCP give the development of Dust 514? I ask that last question because Shanghai is really damn far away from Reykjavik. Kind of looks like they put that development team in the corner of the world lolz.
