The games are hard coded together. In order to have EVE OBs you have to have them running concurrently.

Never mind there is an API hardcap limit on how much data is alowed transfered.

Nevermind separating the servers will provide little to no benefit as most of the DUST issues are code based or PS3 problems because the systems weren't built for the level of calculation crunch CCP puts into their games.

API is also updayed at set intervals so things like market, sov and other data that needs realtime sync will be delayed based on how CCP has to retool their internal systems.

You cannot do orbital bombardment via API.

And even despite all this, I'm totally down for a separation if only to keep Dust 514 from impacting Eve Online's FW and PC what with it's absolutely terrible state. Sure, the effects are marginal... But marginal is enough for me to be concerned as an Eve player.

I'm pretty sure DUST FW doesn't impact EVE FW.

but moving servers eliminates the possibility of EVE players ever being able to contract mercs to attack concurrently with a major push. This is, IMHO a thing that is missing.

DUST mattering isn't a bad thing if it could be coordinated with EVE activity and then randomized when there is none.

Hell putting an accel gate keyed to each faction and doing the plex there could be a "we need merc battles here" button.

Make it a specific plex, not this random "lol farming by orbiting" stupidity (yes I know they mostly fixed that) triggering merc battles.

Lately I have discovered there is actually more to the district selection for FW than what meets the eye. If I could be certain I would share but I have not been able to test more in depth.

The location of DUST FW battles is based on what EVE FW people are doing. There is some sort of algorithm.

Also a faction holding districts in DUST effects how easier or hard it is for a Faction to flip a system in EVE.

For what its worth, I would support this change.

If Legion is to be a thing, and its to be the thing that eventually connects to EVE. Then disconnecting Dust may not be a bad idea.

However... the ties to tranquility are probably so pervasive it is highly unlikely this could be done without rebuilding the entire client. A task I would consider 'not worth it'.
