i myself would love to see a sort of space battle where w take over a carriers fighters or invade a ship but the amount of computer resources for this to happen is to large ur talking about processing what 1 group of players sometime numbering into the 1000s then processing there drones hitdmg and hitpoints while keeping track of all the dust players there mods hitpoints dmg and so forth.

Not to mention the infeasablity in terms of gameplay as in masive flet fights dreads take secounds to die as well as any other ship and u say a dust team will be abe to get in and out without being blown up sorry but illogical. The other gameplay proplem is that it be near impossible to get a decent match since 1 group is teamed up and ready to go befor the battle starts and the other aint by a longshot

There have been suggestions to make this happen, it is possible, and many of them were reasonable. HOWEVER, it would be initiated by EVE player and the ways it would work would be VERY balanced, but also very peculiar and costly to unlucky dust players...

Basically it would work like this, EVE players buy highly sophisticated and expensive slow ammunition (Missiles), these would be fast, but have a huge signature radius (Yes the Ammo has a signature radius, think really really small VERY fast frigate with Microwarpdrive on crack). In any case the attacking EVE ship buys this Ammo, and needs to buy a special Warefare Siege module to scramble a team to go on board the module, and load into the special ammo, this requires the ship to go into Siege Mode making it vulnerable for 5 minutes while it loads targets, and fires... Then the defending ship gets its shot to shoot the ammo before it even impacts...

Now assuming the ammo is destroyed in route, that's where the huge gamble comes into place for the Dust players, the destroyed ammunition will along with it, destroy the required CRU on board, all the clones, gear and equipment you decided to take into battle, which you must designate before the battle even begins... Effectively you throw away you couple hundred million ISK in Dust equipment without even getting a shot if this happens...

Then comes the next gamble... Depending on where you hit the ship a number of options will become available... Hit a non-critical area of the ship, far from any command structure, and you will have to complete OBSCENE amounts of objectives to move to the next area of the ship (Lots and lots of securing, and hacking, and controlling), and you must fight a series of 5 battles to get there... OF course you could get lucky and just hit the command center, in which case, its just one battle (Smallest odds of this happening like 5%)...

But before that even happens I forgot to mention how this ammo works, it does penetrate shields directly, so that's the first perk, but the downside, is it must drill through the armor of enemy Capital ship, and this process is a 12 hours process... What this means is just like laying Siege to a POS, attacking a Capital ship is NOT an immediate action, but a planned action, which means the Capital ship, has the opportunity to mount a defensive force to counter the oncoming assault...

After all this is said and done the various defenses on board these ships will be formidable... There will be some slight disruption in capabilities of the capital during battle, from sabotage, but not so much from crew deaths, and unfortunately for the Dust players they will quickly learn exactly how good EVE structural repair is when they realize that their sabotage efforts are quite limited unless they entirely destroy a module (Forced overheating until it shuts down). However, the real Coup de gr+óce only occurs when the Dust pilots after a long series of matches

Lets say CCP "makes" a ship like this on Singularity. Like a planet, it can be accessed for acces to Dust 514 battles. Will we see such innovation? I do not know.
