I was thinking about the moon mining update coming to EvE and how cool it could be to integrate Dust into it.
What happens with the new moon mining mechanic is that a giant laser / tractor beam slowly, over the course of a few days, pulls up a chuck of moon. And when it gets high enough into space, blows it up into an asteroid field for pilots to mine.
This is regarded as a very profitable thing to do.
The idea being that Dust mercs could land on the chunk, and attempt to plant a bomb (CS Style?? (Never played it)) to blow it up before it leaves the gravity pull of the moon. Affectively for a short time, halting the cash-cow of a corp.
A few pointers
- Mercs would need to get there by ship, needing to be hired by an eve corp.
- Blow the ship up and we couldn't land on the chunk. We'd also loose everything we brought with us.
- Maybe there could be old derelict structures to fight in and around.
- There are 1000's of mineable moons in EvE.
What do you think??

I was thinking this too. And I wholly agree, it would be a lot easier to sell the concept to EvE pilots. But my train of thought was that mechanics that give flat bonuses could be abused. For example; creating a fake corp to wage war on your real corp, just to give the percentage boost, and giving no real no fear of loss.

Why deploy a team of mercs to nance around on an unstable surface while being subjected to ungodly gravitational forces? This idea needs 99% modification.
Because we're immortal mercenaries. And it sounds way more badass.
Plus a small chunk of moon could be easily procedurally generated. And there are 1000's of moons as opposed to 1 Array.
