CCP has already made it clear that they are not willing to commit much in the way of resources to Dust. If we can not even get a team of our own why would we be able to pull away Eve resources?
There is still a large team of Devs in Shanghai, and as far as we can tell, most of them have been working on the next incarnation of DUST on a new platform since September 2013. (That VR game concept they showed at Fanfest was produced during their free time, so did not divert any clockable hours.) We know that Rattati has been getting more help from them recently, but most of their time is devoted to something else.
That "Something Else" used to be Project Legion, but CCP has not said anything about Project Legion since DUST 514 started turning around and becoming profitable. Since PS4 architecture is very similar to PC architecture they can do a lot of development before they have to decide which platform to release on.
Anyway, what I am trying to say is that we will have much more support and development on the next platform, when we finally get there.
The EVE/DUST market link requires CCP to resolve the EVE/DUST ISK exchange rate. I would be inclined to switch DUST over to using Terrestrial Kredits (TEK) with every ISK being worth ~10 TEK.
- Have DUST items only purchasable with TEK, and EVE items only purchasable with ISK.
- Have the ability to sell TEK for ISK on the market. (Market driven exchange rate.)
- Have the ability to sell ISK for TEK on the market. (Market driven exchange rate.)
So EVE characters could buy DUST TEK and buy/sell DUST items, and vice a versa.

There is no manufacturing or player trades to cause actual market pressure on prices, so the prices are currently forced by CCP. So it might be that an exchange rate is needed while the market settles.
I do think that the talked-about plans for moving to another console should have further commentary from CCP to give information to a customer base that has been very tolerant.
I am expecting the Savaging Grounds PVE open world areas with a salvage based economy that they talked about for Legion will probably make it into the next incarnation of DUST. They did have a working build of the Salvage Grounds that they were testing internally.
