Kalik Gordo BetaMax. 17	Posted - 2012.07.16 08:21:00 - [1] - Quote Fantastic Post by Grideris/Gridboss. Pure speculation but worth a look :) http://www.dust514.org/home/item/and-the-horse-you-ride-in-on

Danfen Stark Algintal Core Gallente Federation 93	Posted - 2012.07.16 11:02:00 - [3] - Quote Another question we must ask though, is what would the cost of such beasties be Eventually, it'll be a case (I hope) that EVE players can build them. If they are the size of capital ships, with the hit points of them and some of the capabilites, it stands to reason that they will require roughly the same amount of resources to build. If so, you'll then be looking at war barges being sold for prices from 1b+ (unless you build your own). Both scenarios are not viable for Dust mercs, with their limited income (and presumably resource extraction). And then theres the question...how 'does' a warbarge defend itself when attacked? If piloted by a Dust player, they wont have the information an EVE player does, so even when moving around a system, they would be a blind sitting duck. How would they target & shoot EVE players, how would they even move about the grid? Even if immune to EWAR like super caps, they could still be pinned by bubbles (in 0.0). If they are immune to even that, then the entire EVE community would undoubtly rise up complaining that they are (Rightfully) overpowered I am honestly really interested to see how CCP may tackle all of the logisitics behind getting a warbarge in place, who pilots them, and how (if at least from the Dust side of things), the interaction with the EVE side of things may be carried out.
Codename BG 47 Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 47	Posted - 2012.07.16 12:29:00 - [4] - Quote I think that if EvE will can attack US, destroy our ships bomb our lands, WE should be able to destroy their ships! Some one has written idea that warbarages could shoot "Bullets" with mercs on board, and after penetrating armor/hull we could have on board battle with drones (PvE) or other Mercs payed to defend ship. If they will be able to attack I also would love to destroy their precious ships, and salvage their assets, and be able to say "shut up and give me your stuff"
Khun-Al 135	Posted - 2012.07.16 12:41:00 - [5] - Quote The news of the day: "Eve fleet destroyed by mercs" I guess we will just be able to get our merc through an enemy blockade on the planet where we fight.

Eleanor Sjet 8	Posted - 2012.07.16 14:36:00 - [8] - Quote Im fairly certain I remember someone at fanfest stating that war barges will jump from planet directly to planet appearing in the atmosphere and not in space. As time goes on the war barge will integrate more with Eve.
Corban Lahnder ZionTCD Legacy Rising 158	Posted - 2012.07.16 15:36:00 - [9] - Quote Im pretty sure war barges will move with cynos. Either regular cynos or with specialized ones. Im guessing it will work like this. For starters there will be no war barges in highsec. No Highsec cynos no warbarges. Thats where the death matches simple contract matches take place. For starters thats what we get. Later are the Faction war fare and null sec warfare expansions. FW is in Low sec cynos can be lit there. In Null sec cynos can be lit there as well. Also increases the value of having cyno jammers/Cover cynos if a warbarge can lock on to one. In the beginning War barges will move like a piece on a game board. Dust mercs can look at the star map. There will be a circle on the map indicating where the war barge is. We will have shared coms with eve. An eve player in the same alliance will light a cyno for the warbarge, If its within jump range, In the dust players map that system will become highlighted. They can then select the system and select jump warbarge to here and then poof it moves. Probably will need dust corp roles to do this. Cant get more simple then that. Maybe later they might actually give us the ability to scan down and lay siege to a war barge but im guessing it would behave like a pos with a reinforce timer etc. Giving the dust mercs a chance to withdraw or at least a time to either call in or hire a defense fleet. Those fights might get interesting. Again keeping it simple. Simple = Plausible.
BAD FURRY Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 247	Posted - 2012.07.16 17:20:00 - [10] - Quote ok were should i start hmmm how bout the 1 thing that never will go down thats hi jacking a eve players ship to start off no one willl give you the ship they would just have a fleet mate blow them up be for you took over the ship 2nd you need the skills to fly the dam thing and thats most likely not just 1 skill and that's just moving it youll need skills for the guns and ammo and the mods on it to so no flying space ships for dust players. 3rd eve players would protested this move witch we have done in the pass when CCP makes a bad mistake or do,s something that we said no to . link link2 link3 link4

Maximus Stryker Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 393	Posted - 2012.07.16 19:06:00 - [13] - Quote What if the Dust player/War Barge selected a planet/location they want to send their WB to - sends speedy, heavily armored, heavily shielded drone with no firepower that can go through jump gates/star gates like other small ships. Once it reaches the desired destination that the player choose, auto-deployed a cyno for the WB to jump to it. It could still take a set amount of time per the distance traveled and would would still run the risk of being destroyed. However, it would have a lot of mods (armor, shields electronics) that it would take a large effort for EVE gangs to destroy.
