Second is the massive amount of trolling tht smart eve players will do on dust mercs. Consider this ur war barge is flying around wen u encounter a nice shiny Titan so u start ur boarding deal and once u get ur pods in the Titan or u dock or whatever (basically past the point of no return) another 20 titans warp in lock down the Titan ur on and they all fire up their doomsdays on said Titan cus at this point theyd rather blow up their own Titan than have u steal it, then all ur millions of isk in clones are gone.
so then change warbarge with titan
why have one titan when you can have 2?
and if you have 20 friends warp in with 20 titans??? well whats stopping you from attempting to board all 20 titans or have 20 friends warp in with 20 titans to board 20 titans so then youll have 40 titans, or sure you can blow each other up, destroy yourselves and all your 20 titans, im sure the 20 other titans will help

Anyways, I'm not sure boarding will work with Dust. I'm not an EVE player but I'd assume that one simply can't fly around looking for people to attack. Boarding on Dusk would require looking for actually ships to board which may be more time-consuming than most would want.
OK replace ship with planet, same thing, were not going to be waiting flying to a planet ready to go attack
Since dust soldiers are clones with transferable consciousness, it can work like this
1. eve attacker piloting ship wants to take over another ship
2. check if any available dust players ready to go?
3. dock, shoot, board whatever
4. eve attacker leaves, eve defending ship is now infested with dust solider that didnt wait IRL to go on a boarding raid
In reality 90% of dust players dont really care which ship they are boarding, just as long as they board any ship.
As far as eve is concerned, dust soldiers would be just like another weapon
As far as dust is concerned, just another ship, just another map to blow up bad guys...
Will dust players care, hmm this ship looks like the last 20 ships we boarded... NO
CCP could easily make maps with multiple solutions and program in simple "block these random hallways" to change to path to the objective and map the same maps totally different |
