Now, this is a good idea, but how about it working the other way around... Hear me out.

As a Duster and Consoleer, it'd be awesome to get an idea of the Capsuleers who I may or may not work for... What better way than...

EvE space tours!!!

Yes, shove me in your cargo hold, fly me to a Warzone and get exploded all over 0.0 space. But let me see, let me watch what's going on. Let me see the 9000 Goons flying towards your system. Let me watch from your shields and throw funny jibes at each other.

And give the EvE player an incentive. 1% weapon cool down per clone, or fit our dropsuits into the ship, providing 1cpu/pg each. I think the immersion of being part of EvE would be increased greatly.

Oh, and it might be possible to fill a hulk with clones.. and show everyone Jita.

i think its an awesome idea, especially for someone of my background. Sure hop into the hold, i'm going to take you to see the sites....*cough*honest*cough* oh look its the original eve gate, pretty cool huh? ever hear of the game pogo? no? well at this point you need to pay me 10m isk or you end up getting tossed out the airlock....oh thanks for the 10m :D back to the first station you say? nah, out you go. what? just hold your breath, you will be fine.....*PUNT*

Would be cooler if we were physically watching everything from inside the ship, out some window or through a screen showing us what's on their camera drones.

Not if it becomes more than just a novelty feature. Like if they were to implement something where they pick up a bunch of Dusters, head to a battle , and the Dusters actually take part in the battle. I.E. manning guns(giving a boost to DPS or the like) or if it's a cap ship or other large enough ship, the Capsuleer could provide them with small fighters(or the Dusters could bring their own?), like drone but with a pilot, that the Dusters could use to help turn the tide of the battle. I personally would love this so much, because as much as I love shooting people, I love flying more, but one thing EVE doesn't have, is full control over one's ship(think Descent or Mace Griffin) so it's kinda the best of both worlds. TL;DR Space battles in Dust :P
Forlorn Destrier ZionTCD Legacy Rising 914	Posted - 2012.09.14 13:02:00 - [9] - Quote I am for this, and making it a way to implement ship to ship combat somehow. No bonuses for the ship, just protection from borarding. Not sure how this plays out given how quick battles in Eve can be at times, but I'm sure CCP can work it out.

Bring back Hardwar, Eve planetary fights should be performed by Moths. FPS flight trader FTW lol And let me take out a rifter with my Deaths Head Here's a thought about ship to ship combat. Eve is full of transport ships, right? Why not make a transport ship in high sec that is basicly invulnerable, and the only way to capture it is board it. Here's how it works - high sec corp needs to move a lot of stuff to Jita. That can take a while depending on where they are transporting from. When the ship launches, it automatically creates a contract for $0 ISK reward to the attackers, but they get to keep some or all of what is on the ship as payment (some could get destroyed in the fighting because when you're fighting its about winning not protecting the cargo). You are safe from wars and other ships in Eve suicide killing you, but it allows Dust mercs to have a stake in the Eve Universe, as they are probably the ones hiring the Eve pilot to transport and sell some things (maybe), just as Eve pilots have a stake in planetary control in Dust. Thoughts? Tweaks? Other concepts?

The only flaw in this is that nothing is safe in the eve universe there maybe be consequences like losing your ship to concord not long after opening fire in High Sec but if you can kill and get a friend to loot the ship before concord show up its fair game.
