The fact that some Eve players want nothing to do with us hurts what both games could be capable of.

I say war barges should eventually come into play.
Start with different types of war barges, along with modules for them: some are just production facilities, some being specialized to attack planets, some land on stations, and some board ships.
Likewise, eve players would be able to escort or attack war barges.

i'm hoping for exactly what we see in the 'in game' movie immortal.

"Fighting on their ships"

have you played eve longer then 1 yr if yes why did you write that even?

to players that dont know !

eve online everyone flys one ship only one ship a plan battle in eve between fleets is a hit and miss most of the time if there was a live feed its to late as it most of the time shows the tail end of the fight.

iv been in hi sec null sec low sec and w space in fleets ranging from small gangs to 150+ man to pos bashing or camps.
if a ship was to be invaded by dust players even the most dim and slow of fc,s would call the other ships in the fleet to kill it then let it fight them or fall into the other fleets ranks on top of this even if dust players was to take the ship most fleet fight at a range of 40 km + from each other un less its a camp then still the ship most of the time be for its even taken over would have been pointed so it cant warp away from the battle.

and still a battle even the most 1 sided games takes over 30 sec to take over for a shut out
you may say that's fast but to us eve players in a fleet fight that can be for ever when your ship even a cap ship can be blown up in less then 10-20 sec with or with out locking time.
then just add in the TDF even at 10% the battle will run slower on eve then in dust with no TDF so even if you was to take the ship on the eve side we just got word you boarded a blue ship and all guns are 2 sec from firing on it to nuke it .

so before anyone asks about ship boarding its a no go play star wars battle front and has fun there . you will get the same thing the ship you took over now go,s boom !

"integrate our worlds?"
Free market and fast and open up PC to all of low sec and null and let dust corps with 100% of a planet mine ore and moon mine to sell on the eve market .
if dust is to say alive its needs the free market with eve online with stuff to sell on from one to the other and done fast.

play count is dropping lower

if you think about it the number of rock and green planets in just low sec alone is anuff to keep all corps in dust new and old happy and fighting each other for the end of ps3 and then some add null you add in more land and more fun to a point it will drive players into PC battles then haveing only a small % of corps and players in pc and turning it into a i was here 1st and you cant do any thing in pc unless you lick are boots and join us and only if you played this game for more then 12 months or have a sp count of 30 mill + and so on so on ......
how pc is rite now is one of then things killing the game.
remember ccp this is a FPS at the core so most players dont want to sit and run pubs games for 1 yr be for they can do something in PC.

A new race might be hard to just throw in there, many years of lore built in already.

Maybe the Jove decide to be like the Angry God type , and want to kill off what they in a way created , by having their tech shared among the 4 empires. They decide no nations should have that much power anymore. Sick of seeing mercenaries mercilessly thrown into combat among each other , they create a new drone , so far in advancement , that no single person or small group could destroy. This drone eats planets , completely consuming them by latching onto the surface and crapping out planet space poop. We must band together in hopes of saving our star systems. Planets may even die!!! ( disbaled , and able to be put back in the rotation and usable again by Eve players somehow? ) Instead of fighting to destroy opponents MCC..there will be a giant drone drilling up future planetary space poop , and we must stop it by capturing key points around it that are protected by AI combat units created by the drone. once all points are captured and held at once for a set time period, we gain access to a point under the drone in which we put a mega bomb that blows his arse to bits and then go home to drink quafe.


lol, I wish....

The playerbase is already dead...the announcement of Project Legion already did that, now that we have established a precedent to rip controllers out of big kids hands lets actually do it rather than just saying that it is coming...I was there when closed beta was launched, there were more closed beta players at that time than their are Dust players now logged in all at once.

Anyone who wants to make a graph of that I believe it is already done on Eve-offline.net but may not include Closed Beta numbers, this is a game that brought the Eve playerbase to a console, now its time to bring it back to the pc.

last time i checked Project Legion was dropped by ccp
to some it up about Project Legion going to pc would get less then 500 players

Planets and the entire idea of entering planets atmosphere has been a core inspiration for thousands of EVE players and players who came to DUST looking to explore and partake in planetary gameplay.


Howver DUST has just become largely a lobby shooter where we sit on a station or enter a random planet that looks the same as the other thousands of planets.

DUST players where supposed to have direct relationships with PLanetary infrastructure.. We where supposed to fight on installations that where pre designed and placed by EVE players... We where supposed to have general control over the very materials needed for players to even own space and POS's...

Planets where supposed to be vital parts of Sovereignty in space for alliances... DUST mercs where supposed to be recruited and hired by corporations and alliances as vital assets to take and hold space...

Smaller alliance can't compete in space with Goonswarms numbers? They hire the best mercs in the game to start taking over Goonswarms planets and flipping Sov...

Outposts, Titans, Motherships... Currently are stagnate... In order to keep Titans and motherships populating battlefields in EVE you have to make their material list attainable for everyone... They should be alot harder to build in game and have their material list adjusted to 6 years of EVE's market inflation... And actually create a demand for DUST merc teams to be on call for defense or to be hired by alliances to capture Strategic assets.

Outposts and transferring the ownership of them have always been terrible design in EVE.... It was always supposed to be a battle in this IP for ownership...





FAction warfare used to allow players to choose what system they would be attacking.. Allowing Faction warfare corporations in EVE to recruit DUST mercenaries to attack and claim certain systems..

Now faction warfare throws you somewhere random... COmpletely ruining any ability for the two games to coordinate any efforts...

Faction warfare is the easiest to actually create a link between the two games where it actually feels like your fighting for something other then a good K/D...

But that game mode got rush developed by Team true grit in like a 4 week visit to shanghai.... I don't even want to know what the code looks like.
