no, it isn't, would you like to be in a fight, then a mesage says: "your ship is being boarded, prepare for a 20 mins match between ppl who don't give a **** about your ship, get a tea or something while waiting or eject and lose the ship for good"
POS boarding on the other hand, seems like a good adea.
Why would the eve player need to wait?
This is based on my understanding of how Dust soldiers work
Since all dust soldiers are clones, the eve player would only need to sign up to some security company which sends dust soliders directly to the outfitted clones in your ship, they go and shoot each other. The EVE player just goes yeah I'm piloting my ship like I also do except im being boarded.
Or the eve player has drones or auto defences to kill the clones
Why only kill the captain, what is another eve player contracted me to steal cargo, or disable the ship?
Nothing stops you from doing the same back
I though for EVE players it was all about granularity, this is a logical, suitable and perfect situation for a dust soldier |

It's a really nice idea, and it sounds EPIC. But in reality, for a range of reasons already described, but largely a matter of scale and timing and consequences. I'm prepared to explain in greater detail if anyone is particularly interested, but in short, I'd personally be against the idea, although SOCO's and the like would be good and probably more viable. I might stretch as far as the MCC, but tbh, I would then wonder why bother fighting on the ground if you can just board it and take it out.
take out the MCC?? hows that any different to taking it out from the ground? youd still have to fight for it in space.
with regards to ship boarding only a little of the cross between eve and dust needs to be done, like simple tokens to represent on each side what is happening
Dust doesnt need to fully render all ships just like eve doesnt fully render all that is happening on the ground
The maps can be fairly generic, lagre ship large map, maybe small map as that might be all thats accessible. Just have some fairly open map plans and randomly put in blocks to randomize the path to objective, change difficultly and objective
so kill the pilot, how about a remote pilot setup so an eve player can pilot the ship or an auto pilot? |

Actually dust 514 players will be not particpiating after eve players show how lame they can be blowing up shuttles full of dust 514 soldiers trying to take it over and they just kill both teams.
The dust soldiers are fired at the ship just like they are fired into the ground
Whats with all the whinging, how does a group dust player blowing up your ship differ to any other way your ship can be destroyed by a script kiddy playing eve?

even to the point of destroying your own ship???
I fail to see how 100 or so clones and equipment would be anywhere near the cost of the ship they are trying to board |

One word
Insurance.
how the hell does that work, insurance works by risk????
shouldn't the premiums be ultra high if players are constantly dieing?? id love to see that stats on how this works...
its cheaper to destroy your ship and just pay the premium to get a new one?
i bet there are no player run insurance companies in eve

Iron Wolf Saber wrote:Nope they only adjust to the price of the material the ship is made of based on month market average then the level of insurance paid. Either way some will say spending 5 million isk to blow up a ship full of dust bunnies on both sides is well worth the cost of admission with 3.2 isk payback abouts.
they only need to pay 5mil, how much does a ship cost?
if thats the case then the game needs balancing, cause no way would a bunch of dust bunnies cost the same as a ship
wow an insurance company that pays out on acts of suicide, willful damage to own property and murder |
