CCP Rattati, CPM, or any upper / middle involvement with CCP I need this clarified.
Does holding districts in DUST 514 still produce benefits for EVE and DUST 514?
This is crucial information that I and many would like to know for sure.
Thank you.
Marginal POS benefits are gained from owning Districts (entire planet) but as for benefits Eve side that seems to be losing ground. Currently there is no real incentive whatsoever for an Eve pilot to move system to support a Dust corp or alliance based on the benefits offered.
I am not a CPM or CCP Rattati, but I have investigated the benefits and negative sides and have been playing Dust since Closed Beta, most notably the amount of POS fuel used if that POS is anchored and online at a planet that your corp owns being lessened.
That is the entire planet mind you not just one (from what I remember during my time in PC). The cost of that POS fuel will likely be offset by the suits destroyed in the PC battles in the attempt to take it as well as the Ships lost trying to support your corp. This is not for the faint of heart or the player with a light wallet.
Pilots do not receive isk for battles they drop OBs on, nor do they gain SP for killing mercs. They may acquire loot from enemy OB droppers or other PVPers they encounter in Lowsec but keep in mind, ship losses will pile up if you are not skilled at Eve PVP.
One benefit for Eve Pilots is the increase in number of targets available to the PVP segment during the battles as many poorly equipped pilots (dust players not understanding how to pilot, or fit their ships) take to the heavens and go and attempt to support their corp.

In short, someone at CCP lost their marbles and has no faith in player driven conflict.
Its quite possible that all the negative player interest in the Incarna release is heavily influencing Devs at this point as well. They like having active subs, some would say they depend on it and they would be right. For more details on the reaction to a bunch of stuff that happened in Incarna, please use Google and search "Incarna Jita Riots Eve Online". That should give you a bit of a history lesson about player driven content and how devs respond to some of it.

The only guy that has shown promise, and connection to the playerbase, seems to be the Ratt. If CCP is giving him enough leeway, AND funds, we might see improvements.
But still, there is this glorified single shard universe (build with duct tape), which in my opinion might be the biggest hurdle for all eve franchises in the long run. In my eyes, the connection betwheen EVE and Dust, though one of the selling points, might as well be one the biggest problems the game will have regarding lag and other improvements.
I don't believe the single shard has any thing to do with the lag, in fact constant hardware upgrades have been done sine Eve was launched over 10 years ago, it is a problem for many Eve players though, the most common complaint being "console kiddies" should not affect my real world valued investment...in a video game. It is a lack of understanding by Eve players that Dust has many adults playing, although you will still get some console kiddies, its not as widespread (I believe, but idk for sure) as what most un-informed Eve players believe. This causes riots, and such in game, the thought that someone they believe they can have no affect upon (even though dropping an OB causes a significant isk loss for a good number of people if done right) has an affect upon their game by being part of it. Hence lack of interest in having mercs part of new eden as anything other than pets or a cute side game.
