Me like!

But why do all of your creations have to be Caldari first? Do you have anything that's more Minmatar or Gallente?

I am going to side with True here and not because he is in my corp but because I agree. The requests for racial parity isn't so much about each race having something as much as it is each race's version works hand in hand with the balance of the whole. To have versions with high armor or high shield or high speed and such, have turrets designed for taking down either armor and shield and at different ranges. All of this is important in the creating the very basic and fundamental balancing act between all the vehicles.

It certainly seems that CCP is really excited about a fresh start with Project Legion that they are getting carried away and adding superfluous mechanics opposed to working the core first. Salvaging is an absolute great idea and can become a really integral part of the entire Project Legion experience, but not for a second will I believe it is a higher priority than racial parity in vehicles. This is the same problem we saw exposed at Dust's Fanfest 2012 and Fanfest 2013 presentations where the developers clearly had their attention focused on all these really cool ideas to expand the experience while the current experience remained broken and incomplete.

OK, but this is not right place for that.

We all agree, launching new game without missing content is pointless(weapons, equipment, vehicles etc.). Try to understand that different 'parts' of the game are produce in their own way especially when it comes to art.

If I would be on your place I would point that thing to CPM0, and CPM1 candidates.

Will modifiers such as standing or Milita status be visually present during these kinds of actions.

E.G- Can I down rep someone who has killed me before and see that bad standing while he is not suspect?

We're looking at a session based system not a persistent one at this stage. That doesn't mean persistent isn't a place we can go but I think session based makes sense as a starting point. It's still early days

Actual grounds spawns should be done with crus which should be changed in legion to have an interior. Then there should be a vehicle focused on spawns like that medium attack vehicle that was shown before acting like a mobile cru. Anything large would be better for spawning than the uplinks that are always purposely glitched in some object.

(old EVE online art)

That would be a proper place to spawn - It has interior, guns to protect, awesome look, big wheels..

Ok, a few quick answers to questions IGÇÖve seen come up.

Drifting?

Not in our first test. Today weGÇÖll have the random picking of points on the map and spawning up in the sky.

Drifting will likely become an important thing to add though since it helps mitigate the random nature of the drop by allowing you to steer to some extent.

Lore?

Like drop uplinks, the LOD uses a localized wormhole created by a ship in orbit (that you clone jump to). It canGÇÖt get an accurate lock due to planetary interference which accounts for the randomness of the spawn location and it spawns above the target area to prevent you appearing inside a rock

Droplinks provide a focused locater signal which is why they allow pin point spawns.

You are not getting off the planet, your consciousness is transferred to the ship in orbit and from there you clone jump back to your station. You dump your clone behind.

Droplinks used by more than just squads?

For now itGÇÖs just squad. We are hoping to give the player the option when deploying for it to be personal/squad/team.

Completely random?

ItGÇÖs a random selection from a bunch of points weGÇÖve placed so we could put them all at the edges of the map if we wanted to control the areas more. Right now theyGÇÖre all over the shop.

Calling in a small building, base of operations?

By this I just mean you can set up a starting point for you and/or your squad allowing you specific spawn locations. Allowing more advanced GÇÿtent pitchingGÇÖ options is being considered for future development for sure. This is just a first step.

Squads

Currently there is no logic for group LODs and you will have to land and reform. There are a bunch of things to consider with it, is it just first spawn, what about spawning at different times, what if one member picks a droplink etc. Ideas welcome.

The idea sounds alright, I am trying to figure out how stealthy players want to enter/reenter the battlefield without a obvious signature falling out of the sky.

I have expressed my opinion on it before https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1560444#post1560444. I don't think I need to reiterate on it here.
