I can assure you Dusters can't grief EvE players, while EvE players can do whatever. More evidence Dust is just a poor mini game for EvE. Care less about Dust every time I see any news about it.

RPS: When I first heard about the idea of DUST and EVE, I felt like there was a class structure to it. You have your upper-middle class people flying ships, and then they employ the grunts on the surface. Now, that sounds massively appealing to an EVE player, but how do you sell that to a DUST player?

Thomas: ItGÇÖs actually not quite the case. ItGÇÖs not a one-way relationship. The way weGÇÖve designed it, and the way weGÇÖve iterated on the design, is that if you have a corporation thatGÇÖs pure mercenaries, pure DUST players, then sure, an EVE corp can say, GÇ£I want you to go over here and destroy this guyGÇÖs infrastructure. IGÇÖll pay you this much to do it. And if you donGÇÖt do it IGÇÖm going to be kind of pissed at you.GÇ¥ But then you can also have that DUST corp load up their war barge, go to any planet, and just attack it themselves. And they can take control of that infrastructure. ThereGÇÖs no difference between the infrastructure being deployed between the games. So a pure DUST corp can come in and just start attacking, or if itGÇÖs a virgin planet they can deploy planetary infrastructure themselves. So theyGÇÖre not slaves. They can be self-sufficient. But unless they cooperate theyGÇÖll never get the full benefits, because the orbital constructions and the surface-based constructions, they do literally need to be linked to form a space elevator, to gain the maximum benefits and impact sovereignity, so that encourages players to act together.
