Yes. The ability to fight anyone regardless of location on the planet is the most central feature of EVE Online. The same must be true of Dust and platform played on. Ah, then I must be strictly ps4 from now on. Well the idea is to brainstorm a way to solve the cheating issue so both groups can play together.
Cheating can and will be a problem on any platform, it's something that has to be addressed, and with the newest consoles being x86 based, the problem is only going to escalate for them, while remaining relatively stable on the PC side of things. Obvious cheats and reports can be handled retro-actively by GMs...CCP has done some amazing things in this way on the exploitation side of things (not just with the jobs example...but there have been some other issues such as the WH system Nova back in the day).
As for automatically identifying and banning players who cheat...that is only limited by the imaginations of the developers and how well they anticipate possible exploits in the game (Things such as kicking players with textures that have failed to load by going through similar data like an Aim-Bot program would and seeing if everything is as it should be). Traditional methods of looking for aimbots automatically can punish the occasional extremely high-skilled player, so this one is a bit harder to work with on an automated system...perhaps a system to flag them as a possible suspect to record gameplay from their perspective (Similar to the CS:GO system discussed earlier in the thread) for GM review (or player review).
Other systems could involve looking through active processes running on a given computer (although many, myself included, would consider this an unreasonable violation of privacy)...but it is an option, however there are easy workarounds to such methods (Such as VMs)
Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper.
