Well, what a long strange trip its been, right folks?
There has never been a game I didn't play that I've spent so much time reading, thinking and wishing I could play more than DUST.
And the news isn't a surprise.... just one of those things we have all waited entirely too long to hear.
Thank you Hilmar for not waiting until FanFest to tell us. Thank you Rattati for keeping this dream alive and well after the last time.
But more than anything else: Thank you to the players of DUST. I love seeing your names on these forums...each of them evoke so many memories (good, bad and ugly).
I really do hope we meet each other across the battlefields of the future.
ahh, what the hell...once more for old time's sake: STARFALL |

Gravity is the source of all diversity in the universe. It is gravity
that pulls a nebula of gas together, heating and crushing all of that
matter until a nuclear fire ignites and a star is born.
It is gravity that keeps those fires stoked, converting hydrogen to
helium. Emitting light and radiation. And gravity that coalesces
primordial dust into orbital patterns around stellar bodies.
From the cataclysmic death of stars spring atoms of every ilk. They are
flung at relativistic speeds across the cosmos. Only to succumb again
and again to gravity's irresistible attraction.
Planets, heat, stable orbits and eventually Life all owe homage to
gravity.
Once upon a time there was a philosopher called Darwin who coined the
theory of Evolution. The theory has borne out across time that all life
is as subject to the laws of evolution as the universe is subject to
Gravity.
And the tenets of evolution are twain: Chance & Brutality. Random change
gives rise to new opportunities for life. And the life that takes best
advantage through brutal employment of such change survives.
In our time there has been such a life form. We have called them
Capsuleers. They are pod pilots, humans tied to cloning technology that
allows consciousness and memory to be instantly transported from one
body to another upon death.
Thus-immortality. With this caveat: they must be in a pod. That is why
they have always feared Gravity.
Capsuleers, for all their interstellar might and power are as fish out
of water without their capsule.
And the Wheel of Evolution turns. Random chance has given us the
technology to put the capsule inside ourselves. We are now the vessels
of our own immortality.
And Brutality, my dear mercenaries, is what we do best.
If they do not realize yet the threat we pose, they soon will.
The mortals who hold us and test us against one another believe that WE
are their answer to the Capsuleers.
But we are our own answer. We are poised to seize the top of the chain.
But first we must unchain ourselves.
Wake up. All of you.
Stop listening to the drivel they feed you. Stop listening to the lies
and propaganda.
Stop listening to the Other Voice that threatens to overtake you.
Fight On
Listen truly to yourself
Learn from those around you
Remember from whence we come and where we may go
Be Ready
