I think we should be inspired but not overruled by EVE.
How can EVE inspire us in a different way then just with modules and rules, and make you think while in game and in MQ, "this is New Eden"
The easiest ways (meaning without the need for new rendering and graphics) would include:
--Restoring the "Carapace", "Azeotropic Ward", "Clarity Ward", and similar New-Eden flavor names we used to have on our modules. There is really no need to have Dust modules MIRROR Eve modules exactly--Dust should be free to use some Lore-flavor names that EVE chose not to have on their items and modules.
---Restoring more of the "Aura" female voice-over to a few of the things we activate or menus we open while in our Living Quarters.
I believe the voice-component is already a part of the game script---we'd only need to insert more of it into the player's interactions.
---Using the giant Video screen in our living quarters to repeat the fictional "New Eden World News" posts that CCP authors in the EVE-community Forum. Since it is only "news" from the lore world, it is harmless and would not need to affect anything physically being used in the Dust game. It only gives "flavor" without obligating Dust to align with those events.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...

 GǪWow.
Don't mistake me for being ANTI-Lore (I'm not). But,GǪ I assumed from his words and from the discussion attempts in the Fanfest video, that Rattati was looking for a way to bring EVE Lore atmosphere to the game WITHOUT trying to align Dust to be more like EVE-Online.
Most of the post ideas I read here are very nice (kudos), but most of them seem to be asking for a mechanics-reworking or playstyle-behavior that more closely resembles EVE's mechanics. In other words, you're inadvertently proposing that Dust be more like EVE-Online.
GǪI thought Rattati was only asking to have more Lore flavor in Dust, not more EVE-alignment in Dust.
