they care, oh do they care. Not in the way you want them to those.



Normal EVE player: "Boy do i love, that a game i don't play has a effect on the game i do play..."



If you want to make a positive impact between EVE/Dust make it to where EVE benefits no matter what from what happens in dust. Let EVE player make dust dropsuits/weapons let them make ISK off of us, let them profit from us not suffer from something they can't even see of really control. Let it so when they make items for us we get a bit of discount depending on how many items are on market.

Saddly CCP is to lazy to do this

EVE players will care aliitle bit more about us

I will put this as tactfully as possible.

Dust players could not handle asymmetric warfare in the manner of EVE Online.....most of the player base simply couldn't. They could not handle being outnumbered, out SPed, out ISKed on a meaningful level, etc

Most players don't understand half of what goes on in EVE, what pilots do, how they do it.............

At this point with players asking for more hand outs from the developers, more easy to use and access content, more dumbed down mechanics, and outlandish ideas of what they believe they are entitled to be able to do in New Eden......we simply don't yet deserve to affect more in EVE online.

Taking down Titans? Taking down POS's? Stealing SOV space? Claiming that conquest of space based on timers and arbitrary 16v16 warfare makes them a superior power? Complaining about Sync's, Organised squads and platoon sized deployments?

It's shocking quite frankly how little most players understand about the way EVE works.

Hell FW modifiers are more of a transient pain in the ass than anything that is actually helpful or provides meaningful bonuses.

How about transport of clones to battle?

Or production of clone packs?

Or raiding groups?

Or asset transport from the surface (Dust) to space(Eve)?

I know one sure-fire way.
Create 100% unique Eve items that can only be obtained through Dust.

Eve pilots create 'special' contracts.(pays a fee)
Dust mercs fulfil said contract.
Pilot receives item(s) or part(s).
Pilot pays mercs with monies that were held in NPC escrow.(the fee)

The items (lost technology) would be rare and expensive,so those with connections to Dust would have an advantage.
And the influx of ISK would encourage other pilots to create connections with Dust too.

I just wan't taking districts in FW impact EVE more....

What do you want to be able to do?

Every district a faction wins should have some weird effect on eve players like increased LP

If the dust players loose it the eve and dust players get descreased payouts

I really don't know im guessing

How can I put this.....

The link was an interesting concept and still is to a degree.

That being said it was the height of folly to include and code into the two games as early as it was. One game is a 10+ year old MMO with a large, established player base which takes the game VERY seriously, the other a first time FPS game lacking a significant number of features, a fledgling player base and at the time, managed very poorly and guided by a vision that was all end game and no clue as to get there in incremental stages.

A textbook case of putting the cart before the horse. Not the first time CCP has done that.

I'd go so far as to say that placing the link as high a priority that it was three years ago remains the biggest mistake of the games development.

The case for having a link is still strong but the priority before that can happen is to get Dust working as a solid FPS first (all be it one with certain quirks). Once that happens, we can all start thinking about a sustainable link between the games that is genuinely worthwhile and not just a technical piece of pretty looking fluff.
