If the market between DUST and Eve were to be balanced, then a prototype suit with all the fittings should cost about as much as a T1 Battlecruiser (30-60 Million ISK). And the rewards for fighting would have to be inflated as well for you to be able to afford them.
Is that your opinion that it should cost 30-60 mil or did you read it somewhere? If it's your opinion, wtf are you smoking? If you read it somewhere, where? No where in the minutes does it say it should cost that much. The concern is that it should not cost as much as a ship. |

I agree that it is a problem. If you could transfer isk immediately between the two games, I would transfer a couple hundred mil to my DUST character and not worry about isk in DUST for a while. They did mention some ways to help with the situation in the Minutes. I don't think taxing is a great way. Say you put a 30% tax on a transfer of isk. If you send 300 M, it costs 90 M to send the isk. Big deal. Now that may be a lot to some people in EVE (definitely a lot in DUST), but it's not that much to the people that we are concerned with (people with boat loads of isk). Hell, I wouldn't mind that tax and I'm "middle class" in EVE.
A "hard cap" of say 50M, per day, maybe make it per week. Still, that's a bit artificial.
However making a fully fitted protosuit 30 M is crazy. You tend to die a lot in FPS. Yes, even the hardcore "l33t" players die. If you have 10x of those players, dieing twice a game, that's 600 M, for one district. To make a profit, the contract would have to be higher than that. Are EVE players really going to pay that much for one plot of land on a planet when we don't even know what the effects the planet will have on the system? |

They want EVE players to be able to make stuff for DUST (sorry, don't feel like finding a reference), eventually. Which is one of the reasons why they are hesitant on combining the markets on Day 1. You could have a swarm of players (see what I did there?) manipulate the market so that it would cost 30 M for one DUST grenade. |

It will be at least a year before DUST has any effect on null sec sov. It's going to be tested first in FW. (see the Minutes) |

The dev posting that pic probably has a more updated version than what is on SISI. I doubt they added that part to troll the fanbase. I saw that pic in the dev blog and didn't even notice the infantry gear till it was brought up in this thread. |
