I know the people who didn't come from EvE in the first place can't see the point of this, but in New Eden, or the EvE Universe, it's probably the most important factor of all to me.
Never played Eve, and I'm down with that. (I lowkey want to have possible negative effects on capsuleers so I can get them back for all the times they've spewed condescending elitist comments in local chat and left the system before anyone could respond)
If I recall correctly, making a solid and properly functioning shooter is the first priority, and the New Eden focused stuff comes second. There is hope for you.

There is hope for you. My point is there are any number of FPSs out there. The thing that made the FPS in New Eden different and special was the EvE link. Without it, it's just another FPS. Yes, they may add the EvE stuff in later, but without being put in from the start, it will be at best a patchwork solution. I would rather see them put at least the basis of the EvE stuff in from the start, even if it's just stubs that can be added onto later. Without the EvE link, there's nothing special about Nova. All of CCP's games have some degree of EvE link from what I can see, so why create a FPS with none? Especially if the plan is to add it later....
Dust's link with Eve was pretty minimal, Factional Warfare orbitals almost never happened. Is it that you want an Eve link out of sheer vanity? Just knowing that it's there, that "I'm a part of New Eden" feel? Because that was achieved just fine through theme, and racial gear. You keep using the phrase "just another FPS" when Dust did have a weak Eve link but still felt like New Eden.
...Now that I think about it, the only other link with Eve was the chat channel integration. That better be there from the start. But it's likely they'll start off with a separate server first (see: Singularity) and merge later, as I'd imagine it's simply not wise to flip the on switch without testing separately first.
