i was thinking since dust 514 is bulid around mercernarys in the eve universe what if mercs could be hired for security on a ship thats transporting cargo or some thing, a game mode if this format could be 1. mercs pilot fighters to keep some form from enimie fighters that could be hired in a simalar way to steal the cargo, this could lead to players needing to defend or attack a ship from the inside. any one who's into dust514 or eve online is smart enough to understand what im saying here.
thats what i got to say enjoy.

i was thinking about how a merc might go from its attacking ship and bord the defending ship, and the idea of a leach pod came it mind, a small pod desgined to move through sheilds and onto if not into a ships hul, piloted by a merc said pilot would need to stear the pod to avouid weapon fire and aim for a stress point in the enime shields.
once through the sheilds the merc would be presented with a choice to boost the thrusters and try to smash a hole in a hul to enter or land on the hul and attempt to space walk across the ship to sabotage components on the ships exterior and maybe find a way into the ship from the out side, IE open hangar bay ect... |

Ooo, interesting. In EVE fighters are considered a large unmanned combat drone. What if fighters were piloted by dust mercs? Would make carriers in general more popular in fleets |

EVE Fighters are in fact manned - you can see the pilot inside (2 crew in fighter-bombers!)
I always hoped we'd see an EVE-linked starfighter game some day (yeah, another old gamer still pining for Freespace and the old days of X-Wing Tie-Fighter games  ) Sure, you can just buy regular fighters for your carrier, but it'd be great to have the option to have player-controlled fighters on board, and for those fighters to be customisable, as well as (obviously) showing more initiative than an AI fighter.
But it wasn't until someone mentioned this very idea on these forums some months back that I though Dust might offer the vehicle for that - I had been thinking in terms of a separate game.
The opportunities are huge - not just carrier-borne starfighters, but aero-space fighters (to tie in to Dust), hangers on board EVE starbases and POSes with contracts to mercenary fighter pilots... Hang on, I need to go lie down a while... 
Awesome - I'm sure it'll be on the New Eden plan at some point, but it's a big project to do well, and I'd hate to see it get in the way of Dust living up to its potential as a ground-based shooter. |

Somehow I find this unlikely. EVE has the kind of gameplay it does to support the massive player counts it caters to. That's part of why we don't have manual piloting or anything like that. Trying to run space battles would just cause more lag in EVE. |

Having actively-piloted space fighters directly involved in EVE battles would be a non-starter.
Having boarding parties to steal cargo, on the other hand, might be feasible. This is different enough from the oft-suggested idea of stealing or disabling someone's ship that it might have merit. If it's only about the cargo and nothing else. Although at best that would be a couple years down the road. I'd like us to be invading stations before anything like this could happen. |

you really brought this into perspective for me personaly, and since invading station could be implamented as a game mode and can only be acsessed through contracts i think its the most phesible out of this whole idea, finger's crossed tho for boarding parties and ship invasions tho :P |
