How cool would it be if Eve Dust had a PVE element. If Eve Dust became like Entropia, and Eve Online became a battle of the landlords. The Eve Universe has alot of planets and moons , and all of that real estate could matter and add a whole other game to play.
If Dusters could erect bases, search for mineral deposits, and build resources to sell, it could become an important interaction between Eve Online and Eve Dust. Could you imagine if Eve Dust had a PVE element where you could kill npc and AI bots. Take down bases and win stashes and stockpile resources.
Could you imagine being the Eve online player who setup a dust base. What if Dust were like entropia, where you could invite dusters in to kill planetary spawn and sell stuff to your base. What if your base could offer missions to Dusters. For example an allied PI installation is being attacked by wild beasts. Other then ratting players could be organizing battles and looting other bases. You could use your base to buy and sell to dusters. A corp could build a base and use it daily to do dust missions like slaying NPC pirate bases and installations.
Moon minerals are so powerful they could cause wars. What if moon miners could increase their production by setting up moon bases. Moon mines don't completely protect the surface of the moon. What if I had a duster and setup a rival base on a moon after finding rich deposits. If I had a Dust team , raiding these moon bases could be one of the most profitable things to do. Having an Eve online fleet to escort the product off the moon would be important too.
How could Eve online corps use Dust?
Let's say we Eve Onliners could launch probes onto planets to search for pirate activity. This process builds up an eve dust mission that you can do for a profit. Get together with your corpies and take out a few npc bases. You could have daily missions that increase production on your planetary PI bases, like killing local spawn. A duster could solo this.
A Eve online player could send a scout into enemy territory, and launch scans till he finds a good planet or moon to raid.
Then when everyone in dust is grouped up, launch an attack raid on their resources. A frigate could drop some planetary vehicles to get the dust group started. Their mission will be to disable the remote defenses before a defense team shows up.
Dust will auto recruit conscripts for defense, and any of the factions allies could join in for the defense. The attacking forces must have space support for a raid to be successful. The attacking force must load up containers to be shipped off. The defense must destroy the containers before the enemy can launch them. Space support can drop needed equipment to Dusters. Dusters may continue to unload the base as long as it remains undefended.
How will dusters play eve? They may choose to stay with certain factions or groups, or conscript to get a random battle. They might try the PVE element and join a corp. Though I think many of the dusters will only want to play dust and therefore will always look for battles. But once that duster takes a look at the bigger picture, and becomes interested in the politics behind the battle they can be given a chance to engage this element. Make it important to know eve online players. An Eve online player could mean getting profitable missions on faraway planets. Knowing an eve player could make that happen. If the duster has a whole team roster, he could be a major asset for an Eve Corporation.
Will A duster ever want to mine on a planet or a moon? The answer could be Yes. If they fished those pricey ingots, or found a load of spice. That kind of resource builds wealth. Eve Online players could enjoy the excitement of raiding a planet and escorting the goods back to station. This would be fun
