1.) Rattati said something about "players made it clear they wanted better gameplay" --- I worry that CCP now thinks players care MORE about smooth gameplay than all the grand meta stuff of Dust, and that Nova might turn into a fun little lobby shooter, but be missing economy, player groups, eve-link etc... It needs all of the above!
2.) I worry that CCP is going to be reluctant to take risks with Nova, based that Dust wasn't as successful as it could have been. Really tho, Dust had a winning formula, any other shooter should be envious of the persistent universe of Dust. THAT'S what keeps players long-term.
Compare that to the player retention gimmicks of other shooters: unlocking customization options in RNG loot drops... And you have them all beat! Your player retention system is better, that's how you kept a player base for nearly 4 years in this free ps3 shooter. Maximize that!
3.) Ultimately, I worry that CCP thinks that a shooter can't be done in their universe, and are half-heartedly working on "nova" while some higher-up suit-and-tie has his finger on the "abort" button waiting to axe the whole thing at the first moment of trouble...
Really if it werent for a handful of specific blunders Dust would have been much more successful than it was.
I think Nova should be the opportunity to learn from all the mistakes and do it properly from the beginning!

I won't disagree that end goal should be to pull players that are not involved in NewEden into the universe. That is s good plan and something that EVE has struggled with but an FPS has a better chance at.
That's exactly why I think it's a mistake not to leave the FPS on consoles.... There's too much overlap in the people who play PC shooters, and the people who already play EVE.
Consoles are a completely separate player base to tap into.
But hey, what do I know.

Consoles are a completely separate player base to tap into. But hey, what do I know. People who pay $15/month playing EVE probably have enough money to buy a Skin in Nova once in a while. In fact the layers and accountants running multiple accounts in EVE probably can afford to buy lots of nice looking Skins in Nova. I don't buy the argument about splitting your market.
The FPS crowd and the MMO crowd are pretty separate demographics.
Placing the FPS on the platform that favors FPS' the most would reach the broadest amount of total people, which would be best for everyone in the long run.... this has nothing to do with whether EVE players can afford Dust skins....
