It is known that in New Eden only the strongest corporations survive. Others just perish in their wake, or join them. The EVE Online universe - where demigods operate vast numbers of ships and immortal mercenaries fight for planetary dominance - will be cruel to anyone that dares to venture deep enough into it. Do you believe that you can form a corporation and lead the merchants of death? Are you ready to put money, your pride, and your eternal life on the line for a group of people that you can trust for the eternal glory of New Eden? You better be. Because Corporations are what holds this universe together, and should you choose to either lead or follow, this is what you should know before you begin your immortal journey in DUST 514...

NEW "Player Made Corps" DEV BLOG

I like this idea.

Oh, and enjoyed our game of dropship-forge gun tag. Excellent squishing.

The OP is absolutely right about that. I have been playing Eve Online for over four years now and still running to this day. Veteran Eve players are some of the most intelligent group of players out there that are capable of doing anything as long as they get a chance to do some homework on you (and they will get that chance every step of the way).

It's not just their ability to organize into large groups that make them very powerful. They can also establish connections to various groups of high-profile leaders and thus allow themselves to be highly influential in the decision making process of the political climate. They also have access to skilled market traders who have amassed wealth on their own free time through perseverance and extreme patience and calculated moves. Through these lone traders, powerful alliances have the ability to manipulate the market to their own will for personal profit for as long as they pay these traders well enough (and they always do).

Eve Online is basically one giant galactic game of chess New Eden is one giant chess board and, instead of just two players competing, there are 400,000 players competing against each other. Every move matters as it either affects another move or it was the result of another.

Now...




Imagine this being applied to Dust 514. Once the two markets are connected, once AUR items are bought by players and sold onto the secondary market for ISK, once the two sides start shooting at each other (orbital strike vs. planetary cannon), once clans organize with the corps, once traders game the market system, once metagaming is at its full potential, and once politics creeps in...





...the true sandbox will emerge in Dust 514 just as Eve has in the past and still is.

I'd be up for it...at least, I will until I find out more about what direction my EVE alliance is taking Afraid I don't have a mic for PS3 though (unless a PC USB one works...can anyone confirm/deny that ? )

With an influx of mature players IGÇÖve had the pleasure of meeting within my time on the Beta (Both in Game and forum), I begin to wonder if maybe us as Beta Testers should form our own Alliance Or Corp Pre-game Launch?

We are entering a game Universe that has been established for going on Ten years now, filled with players that have been playing it for almost just as long. They are very organized and very cunning individuals that have created Alliances well in the thousands, and have made statements about DUST such as GÇ£Yawn! Our interest in dust is minimal. I don't care about it, IGÇÖm sure the other guys don't either.GÇ¥ such as my post FPS Players are DUMB

I propose we take the time to talk, Merc to Merc. Lets lay out some ideas and collaborate here. Leaders of both Clans and Corporations and any Merc out looking for a cause should post here. So how about just giving it a try?

I look forward to hearing from everyone and in due time I will try to arrange a meeting within PSN Home with all that are interested to work out more details and a name.

[Wishful thinking tbh. Anyone worth their salt has already started plans for an alliance. If you are just now thinking about it, you are a little late to the party....

Also, there is no way to work out so many differences that people already have with each other. Lets be realistic here. Do you think everyone is gonna shake hands after all the flame already on these forums!?

I would very much like to speak with your Clan Leader Silver about DUST. Thank you for taking a intrest in us and maybe if your clan wouldnt want to join the Corp, then maybe the corp they form will like to join our Alliance. Get back to me about a meeting

And I must be confused: is this a planned Corp and an actual Alliance? Because the feeling I was getting is that this is a Corp for Beta players. I don't want to speak bad about my MAG clan, but they aren't exactly 'great' with old members that are returning for Dust.

I sent you friend request.

I have a clan already and we are recruiting for DUST 514 and this sounds great check out the site and forum.

http://thebest666.wix.com/foxhound#!home/mainPage

http://ifoxhound.freeforums.org/index.php

If I'm understanding the question correctly, we are a Corp in the works being formed by Beta testers and we do have plans for an Alliance. So in a since we are in a stage of both recruting Mercs and Corp's. I would love to have you abord the Corp and will be on PSN tomorrow at 6am PT (1300 Game Time) if you would like to hit me up to chat in Home or reach me on Skype.

This is great, I could use an established clan leader about now. Please tell me u got Skype so we may chat

Not easy without cover fire, resuply is a lot quicker but I always try to revive, just don't suicide, it might take a little while.

Oh and if you do have your mic on, do feel free to give squad commands to those of us that don't, I think that might make gameplay a bit more cohesive, at least for me.

The clan that I'm part of the leadership of is BF-oriented and roughly 2 years old. We have quite a few of the top 10 and top 100 players in various BF games and know how important communication, teamwork and pre-game planning (which many forget) is to win. If this DUST alliance can get that figured out, it will be a damn tough force to be reckoned with.

Our website: The Evil Gang

We need our own IRC.

ZionShad, I suggest you go on this site: http://www.quakenet.org/ and create our own IRC for Corps Rising. Not everyone has a skype or a headset, and I know we can go onto playstation home, but an IRC is probably the most efficient way to communicate.

Two Drakes? LOL Nice, it's a start. When people come into the open beta this weekend the number of Forum participants will pick up as well. Feel free to join the TCD Facebook

I was sitting on my porcelain throne thinking of an effective way to form a large corp, and a very similar idea to this popped into my head. And you beat me to it... good job dude, lol.

I am very interested in this, I have no EVE experience, though my FPS experience is pretty good, having played the great UT for many a year.

PSN: Roy669

You know that we can't talk about Dust out side of this forum without checking every one man reading posts, all of them has to accept the terms of Beta Tests? I have idea with forum but need info....does this corp will be: Zion TCD; Rooster or maybe Squawk. I like the last one

wow whole list of PSN id's out in the open... no more corporate espionage for you lot

Ok a couple things i know about the NDA and i never said anything about us actually talking about DUST just us being a little organized and getting every1 under 1 roof and getting to know eachother better .And in my forums i already have it set up where ONLY the DUST members can see and and reply to eachother threads ,

I wish to create something big. Big enough to be able even scratch a little bit EvE players....but we will scratch them till they bleed and they need our help or to SOV or to make somebody pay for his sins...it doesn't matter, as long as they pay ;) And I want to be in contact with all of you guys, but talking about tactics on open forum is like shouting your pin wile taking cash or paying with credit card...so once again Google came with solution with google groups. Closed group of ppl we want....Shad sand me a list of member e-mails so I will be able to add them to the group:

[email protected]

I will send you an invite

If you want to see the PSN id of a character, all you have to do is click on their name in a match, and add to watch. Then you'll be able to see who is behind that merc... So ids are out in the open anyway...

Every1 can sign up to the forums and we can get things a lil organized.

This information is not yet disclosed but can say member count is between 100-1000)

Not to mention you can simply create a second ID and since DUST is free to play and free to download . . . still just as easy, if not easier, since you can create a whole new account just for espionage (assuming somewhere in the terms of use it doesn't say you can't).

I signed up for forums, but it seemed kinda lonely. Hit me up on PSN as well if you please:
PSN: E-Lo13

Thanks!

P.S.
I have saved all of this information just in case my Eve Alliance is interested in the free intel.
Thanks.

IN Eve there are a few ways to tell if you are dealing with a SCRUB corp.

1. Misspellings in their adverts.
2. No application to join
3. Advertise their player count like it matters
4. Have zero accomplishments to advertise

As far as I can tell, this "corp" violates all of those.

I say that if you are serious about joining a DUST corp pre-launch, only join with people that you actually know in RL, if you want to join one of these kinds of groups, wait till after launch and you can see what they can actually DO.

P.S.
I have saved all of this information just in case my Eve Alliance is interested in the free intel.
Thanks.

Oh noes! Some nerds have my PSN!

Which Corp are you with or want to join ( FoxHound , Zion TCD or Death Squad ) : Foxhound sounds nice to me



role: assault and anti tank unit

Have you ever heard of that massive MAG Alliance that has been planned for Dust? It's called ROFL ( Rise of Legion ) and my current MAG/BF3 clan is already a part of it or I would definitely set something up with the clan leader, sorry.

And I must be confused: is this a planned Corp and an actual Alliance? Because the feeling I was getting is that this is a Corp for Beta players. I don't want to speak bad about my MAG clan, but they aren't exactly 'great' with old members that are returning for Dust.

This is true about the sandbox. Everyone is in the mind set that the Mercs are a bunch of DUMB FPS players that can only be hired by Capsuleers to do there biding. And from what I've heard they will care only if it effects SOV. Lets flip the table with the effectiveness and efficiency of a well thought out Bank Heist. Last I check we made planes to fly us around and not other way.

I am confused by this, so not to sound rude, but....FirePhantom, you cannot be in dual corps/alliances. While I am not the most vocal, I am sure that we cannot allow this. It must be one or the other, either us or them. Intel plays an important role in New Eden. From your response, it seems like you are choosing to play with them. Please clarify.

Also, I am confused with the "not great with old members returning for Dust" comment. As it stands, we have helped all of our older members out the most actually. Again...please clarify.

Everyone needs to go the forum http://ifoxhound.freeforums.org/recruitment-f20.html and feel out the DUST 514 Application , get the ball rolling and everyone get to meet the rest of the crew.

As a corp imagine if we work with players from eve specifically. Imagine what we can affect if were not just taking contracts for just anybody and work as a team. As long as were organized and work well together. wooo. The days of worrying only of finishing first and your ktd ratio have to be over. Also. about ps home. I just installed it again because i never used it. Are we planning to get together on there in the future so we can organize?

None taken, but i will state that any information concerning the corps and its alliance affiliates has been made public for some time now. Any sensitive information is kept even from me at times because of infiltration issues. I, even as the founder, realize the neccessity for hiding certain information. I have no problems with it because my clans/corps security is my top priority.

As far as not feeling welcomed, I apologize if you felt that way as that was not the intention. We are all like family there and you know that. Best of luck with your new corps and i hope that it is successful in every endeavor it pursues. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions, concerns or just to talk. My door remaims open. Thank you for your contribution to the clan in the year you were here and again, best of luck!

My point was to say that on that forum everybody can read everything, and this is not good, but maybe I'm wrong...My idea was to make close forum for future Corp to talk about DUST and not telling everybody all our secrets. Some info should be classified.
Talking about "us" we can here.
We can make alliance of Beta DUST Corps as well for future wars

I'm not against this way of communication.

To be honest..This forum looks very more user friendly than GoogleGroups

Shad, which do you prefer? Forum or GGroups? On forum we will be able to talk to other Corps and make alliance, Groups we can leave for some kind of site....but I think that if we choose forum than site can wait




Wonder what do Devs thing about forum and GGroups...

Sorry to say but you are wrong , forums can have restrictions where ONLY certain members can see not just anyone who comes on the fourm.Which i already have set in place for the members for our Corp. They jus have to come in register Fill out the App i grant them access and we all can talk and only we know what is said.

ZionTCD is currently on MAG to work on teamwork and tactics tell DUST launches. You can find us under Raven send message on PS3 for invite

Hate to burst your bubble but I can see the Dust 514 section on your forums and I'm not even signed up for the site.

You can see it but u cant read the threads in there its says you need permission and if you really can what does it say in the thread in the Dust 514 members section in foxhound corp thread . Anyone can see the General seciton of DUST 514 but Only members can get full access to the DUST514 members section.Believe me i have everything in line and i know what I am talking about and looking out for the safety of the Corp. So please edit ya post before you lie to the people.

Those are blocked. I was talking about the Dust 514 General Discussion board.

lol its self explanatory its to the General public and the Members Section is for members only.We wont devulge secrets and tactics and such in general now.But if u are that paranoid i can lock that down also.

I registered on the forums so hook me up with needed access when available. I won't be on MAG with you guys because I got rid of it a long time ago unfortunately ;/

i think it's a great idea, i have a tight group of people who are looking to do the same, so anyone interested in co-ordinating with us can msg me on psn, my id is ASHMEAD01,

I registered on the forums so hook me up with needed access when available. I won't be on MAG with you guys because I got rid of it a long time ago unfortunately ;/

I've been trying to get organized as well

Psn tag- rugman91

Tritan industries (www.tritan-industries.enjin.com) already has their dust corp set up, 40 strong and recruiting. Mics are required.

Corporations

In EVE, the cornerstone of all serious space operations is the corporation. It allows players to manage funds, organize long-term activities and have a persistent venue to communicate with your fellow members. We are working hard on making EVE corporations completely seamless between EVE and DUST 514. This means that from the point of view of all corporation functionality, it shouldnGÇÖt matter whether a corporation member is a DUST player or an EVE player. There are of course certain functions that only make sense for EVE players and others that only make sense for DUST players, but for everything else there should be no difference. The idea is that a corporation staffed with members from both EVE and DUST 514 should be able to access all available functions. Common functionality includes creating corporations, managing membership, managing finances, and joining alliances. For some of these functionalities, we will be providing a native UI on the console client, while others that are deemed to be less immediately critical will be available on EVE Gate to start with. Currently, the biggest limitation will be inventories, as EVE items donGÇÖt really have any functions on the DUST client and reciprocally, but this is something that might change in the future when we will observe even more convergence between EVE and DUST.

The War Room

The life of a mercenary is about fighting, but taking over a planet is no small task, so players will find themselves spending a lot of time in the War Room GÇô a 3D lobby where players can go over their vehicle and character fittings; stock up on items from the corp inventory or the marketplace; chat with fellow corp members or once-off hires; scrutinize potential strategies and just generally get ready for the battles to come. Each War Room supports a maximum of 32 players at once. Players navigate the social spaces in DUST (of which the War Room is the first) in third-person.

The merging of EVE and DUST provides opportunities for socialization far beyond what most MMOs are able to offer simply by virtue of the fact that New Eden will soon be populated by players with vastly different roles, but similar agendas. And, we believe, the universe will be better for it. Because, for better or worse, every minute spent in the EVE setting should mean something.

Thank you for pointing out. Ill have someone get right on it

Hey Zion just a frienldy hello had a family emergency after the last time we met up. MY lil nephew stated having seizures so we spent a few days in hopspital wit him an my brother.. Was just checking in on the things we discussed please feel free to pm any questions or anything at all!

This sounds so awesome can't wait to join up with you guys i think you guys rule

I want to join a corp, but do the members here still, y'know, have fun?

Kind of a stupid question, but I got off a very serious/ non-fun vibe from that opening post. Team work makes the game fun and all, but I'm not going to dedicate time towards the meta game or higher up EVE political stuff.

Well thanks for clearing that up. I'd try to non-combat aspects, but I don't plan to get involved with all the EVE politics dating back to 2003. o_o

I'm signing up, but do I need to post my PSN?
EDIT: Why do I always fail to notice things right in front of me? lol. Continuing on with my registration to your corp.

And I agree with your view of shapely women

Just got off an intresting Skype call and I must say it was informative about EVE. Ahh homework can be fun.

I have an EVE character and account as well, and my plan for that when DUST launches is to (hopefully) supply the groundpounders with things they need.

Of course, it helps that in this game I am one of those groundpunders, and so far enjoying myself immensely.

Top notch guys in TCD, well versed on the Eve and Dust. Not a bad join if your looking for a home before launch.

Great to meet you all and glad to have you all aboard.

Glad I dont pay Jesse Jayne to recruit, Id be broke.

JJ got a MMA fight tomorrow, myself and all of ZionTCD wish him a safe trip and a great fight (his 10-2 he'll win )

Count me in, have a mic and am constantly frustrated that there seems to be nobody else on, saying that going by this thread there are a lot of people mic'd up. Happy to be frontline infantry, like to get in amongst it!! Organisation is most definitely the way to win.
