I would adore a War Hero skin. I'd also name them uniquely for each faction. You would choose frame size when earning it, and the others can then be purchased for additional LP.

Warlord for the Minmatar. Pure white with Dark red splatter and emblems. Like Sev from Republic Commando (Who already looks like a Minmando)

Justicar for the Amarr. I'm not sure how they would want it. Probably Gold with Silver accents.

General for the Gallente. Ask Kirk, IDK.

Commander for the Caldari. I actually love their Digital Camo and Navy Looks. Probably go with a Blue and Grey Digital Camo with Gold accents on the emblems.

When you see these suits, you KNOW they're an FW Veteran, due to requiring 8 or High FW standing (Which is a lot of games. I managed to get to 8 after grinding through about 3 BPO's).

You get the drift. I've also always wanted the ability to change station locations if you get to rank 10. Get my Caldari ass in Minmatar territory, I've earned it.

The words, "You need a KDR minimum ofGǪ" put me right off of giving two effs for trying to cooperate with most people in the game.

I was there when the idea of the game was announced. I supported the concept of the game. I wanted to play the game. I play the game. I like the game. I am concerned about the success of the game. I want the game to be playable by all rather than a select few. I don't think I need to jabber with my bros to improve said game. What more needs to be said?

We should just get all the candidates to fight to the death and the winner becomes CPM.

I'd love something like this and yes General would do Gallente just fine.

The Federal Defense Union's max rank is Luminaire General. Source. Amarr max rank is currently called Divine Commodore (which sounds pretty impressive, btw). Minmatar is Valklear General (also impressive sounding). Caldari... Brigadier General (...meh...)

These ranks are already steeped in New Eden lore. Though weak, this could be a nice connection to the greater New Eden universe.

I don't want to stop TheD1CK from banging on about politics and whatever else so let's take this to Skype. Ghost, you have a Skype name? Add me.

Very very surprised candidates do not have a link to their "platform", "manifesto" or whatever it is we call it in their signature. Only see one on Operative's.

You guys really should consider adding the link. Make it as easy as possible for potential voters to read your stuff.

Gotcha covered bro

Something off topic that concerns only yourself and a fraction of the community, a Skype chat is just whats needed so you can brainstorm ideas from yourselves and have minimal community input

Like many proposals, thoughts will be thrown around in Skype or in game then a thread posted in F&I to be discussed with the community. Remember that candidate, Breakin Stuff, that is endorse? We discuss his proposals and ideas in Skype often before he tosses them out for the community to view.

But spin that however you want

May you invite me to the Skype chat Ripley? I love discussions, and until I get my internet back to play, it's all I can really do XD

Btw loving the FW idea, as well as the one the Bradic said. THAT, is a post that everyone should read along with Kaisers

These discussions could easily be on forums or even in-game channels while mercs play with a mix batch of players, can anybody name the main reason they are not ?? My answer is because no-one makes the effort for that interaction within Dust, I know several reasons why I can't blame mercs for that it's a lot of scrubs to get through to

Well, there are many people to talk to in-game, I'll grant you that. I'm only one man and I do have a full time job, but I like remaining accessible out of game so I can be reached. In game I'll squad up with anyone! Just send me a mail and we will figure out times.

501st calm down with the like button a moment and back me up on this I am not against disagreement, my Corp can vouch for how often I am wrong, but I know the game we are playing and I do my best to keep it a casual environment for myself and the gamers I fight with, It may be a shock to some of you but there are many people playing the game for what it is, not just the dreamers that come here to talk about it, I will vote when I see candidates that are going to reach out to the bluest of blueberries and value their feedback as much as the value those of witty mercs with a few thousand likes.

TheD is here for your amusmement , and your reply sums up the main reasons I am questioning CPM candidates. I have played the game from clueless adjusted starter fit blueberry noob to half-competent adjusted FC noob, meeting a lot of players in between the majority of them being in the lower bracket of skill/SP ranking and I have gained good sense of fighting with+against Corps internationally seeing different outlooks on the game and how it is adapted to around the world... If it wasn't for the gametime it would steal and my terrible diplomacy skills I'd consider CPM myself.. instead I'll take the safe route and grill those that think they can really speak for the communtiy they are so keen to represent

We all want Dust ported. Till that day however, how we can enrich this beautiful gem on PS3 is all we can do.

This is exactly right.


First impressions are very important. Look back at all the initial Dust reviews. Mediocre at best. Dust over-promised and made poor initial impressions, and it's still suffering from that.

A lot of the negative critique was valid, but looking back at the video's much of what everyone complained about no longer applies today; the game has really come a very long way since then. I think if Dust were released in 2012 as it is today then it would have fared so much better.



Which is why I see this is such a great opportunity right now for Dust. Through many ups and downs Dust has been quietly improving and upgrading since it's release, while people outside this community are barely aware Dust exists. With nearly zero hype to live up to Dust is poised to pounce on next-gem gamers like a tiger.

E3 doesn't scare me. Battlefront will be let down, Fallout will be great, but a single player game will never steal an online shooter community, PS2 seems to be popular, but lacks the larger persistent universe of New Eden, Battlefield, CoD, Killzone players are all weary of endless DLC packs, greedy monitization and one-year life spans of games etc.


Which is why we need to use the time we have on the PS3 to continue making this game better and better until a port finally happens.

Which is why I'm running for CPM2. I'm very optimistic about Dust and see so much potential, and I'd like to help in any way I can.

I would like to see more candidates internationally as it is the entire communtiy the CPM need to address, but I am not seeing many mentioned interest from EU/Asia/SA so I cannot judge though I can say all of these guys know how the game is played and add another dimension to battles which is good content, so CPM interaction internationally is a must have abilty I think.

Anyone that is considering it should certainly think about what they could offer and if they can dedicate time to CPM+Dust

My voting list so far:

Pokey Dravon
Cross Atu
Zaria Min Deir
BreakinGÇÖ Stuff

Kevall will probably be on there somewhere. I voted for him last time. I donGÇÖt know Talos, so will have to look out for some of his posts.

Of course I am not sure who is all running yet.

BreakinGÇÖ Stuff.
