As many DUST players may or may not know, the new SoV system for EVE online has come into being. The system, nicknamed "FozzieSov" after CCP Fozzie, allows for capture via a multi step system.
Link to CCP video explaining new Sov:
Sov Link
What is of note to me is the stage where various capture points are generated across the constellation which players can battle over.
I would think this is a good chance to help tie DUST into EVE in a meaningful way that does not feel too gimmicky or forced.
Simply have one of the initial capture points be planetside and allow it to be fought over by DUST mercs for competing Alliances. (Allowing them to then invite in ringers and such as you would have for a district battle) After 15 min the battle begins, and works exactly the same as if it were a district battle.
At the conclusion the game contributes the same to system control as any other point.
Seeing as DUST has no real way to engage in more than 2-way combat a similar planetary capture point would NOT spawn during the free-for-all stage of the conquest process.
This simple and straight forward process would give DUST players a small ability to aid their alliances in NULL sec while being limited enough in scope as to not overly affect the larger balance of Null. This would be a good first step to helping to integrate the two universes and allowing DUST players to affect the EVE side of New Eden.

Interesting. Eve pilots won't like it as it would be a part of their game that they would have no control over. As well as I'm sure many other excuses as to why they wouldn't want it. But I think it is an interesting idea.

Mm, I support the idea. This sounds better than, "EVE and DUST 514 are the same universe from a different perspective, Go with it." At the very least it adds to realism, unpredictability, and general exchange between the two titles. And, it actually sounds doable...

I like the idea,
The mechanic does support it.
I also expect resistance for current Eve powerhouses.
How it might be sold to them if it would be labeled as 'bonus' objective.

Of course,
I guess CCP will be adamant not to mix Dust with Eve mechanics ever again.
Chances of that changing are nil.
