Okay, let's clear this up.
When we're talking about a Port, we aren't literally saying CCP should just take all of this game and put it on another platform. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't, because the game is currently coded for the PS3's architecture which is completely different from the x86 that PCs and newer consoles use.
Project Legion is basically what you guys think we're asking for. Notice that CCP dropped the copyright on "EVE Legion" because they doubtlessly realized just as the rest of us did that taking the current version of Dust and slapping it on PC with some shinier graphics wasn't going to fix anything.
I hope that clears this up.

I hope that clears this up. Legion was a total rebuild on top of a heavily customized version of UE3. The Legion copyright was dropped because the amazing mess which was FF14 tarnished that name into oblivion. Whatever happened with that rebuild and the possible naming of it went totally up in the air when the storm had finally passed from the most epic PR failure I have ever witnessed live.
Legion was a total rebuild of gameplay mechanics that would still run on the current heavily customized UE3.
I watched all the videos they uploaded from the convention.
Given that the current "heavily customized" version of UE3 can't even render some interior spaces without dropping your framerate below playable levels, what the heck makes you think that would have succeeded?
That's not even to mention the still persistent memory leak that's never been addressed. How many people do you think would still be playing EVE Legion when they realized that the amount of RAM they have determines how long they can play the game before the framerate drops through the floor?
Anyone else remember Battlefield 4? How it was when it first launched? Yeah, that would have been EVE Legion.

A port will improve some things but not much will be fixed. I think everyone with half a brain has accepted the fact that just slapping this on a new platform will do nothing what so ever. The issue is the rest of the people actually believe the rhetoric that the PS3 is the problem and not the fact that this game was built on a foundation of quicksand. As long as people keep dumping money into a bad game why would CCP have any reason to even attempt to improve or even consider leaving behind a cash cow like this. And why do you think this game was built on a foundation of quicksand? CCP was over ambitious for the platform, and we got what we got. Quicksandbox
Not good for pooping in.
