DUST Search - Questions Regarding Player Corporations & FW

Domin Nate wrote:

Greetings I, like many of my fellow alliance mates intend on playing in both Dust and Eve Online. Recently we have discussion about the mechanics involved with running a corporation that contains both Eve and Dust characters. Since this is our primary goal many of us have been pushing our already active Eve Alliance to get more heavily involved in Faction Warfare, specifically because from our understanding this is where Dust 514 will launch into. The more we discussed it we could not really find any confirmation about how Dust and Eve players will actually interact. We all know that Orbital Bombardment is the big wow factor for the interaction with it ability to bring direct fire support to the planet but what about everything else.

This brings me to a few important questions that really I need to know before making this commitment to move into FW with our active Eve Alliance::

1. Will Dust Corporations actually be aligned with factions or just do "merc" work for them?

2. Will Dust players actually gain or lose standings through the contracts they perform for different factions? Would this impact your corporation standings as it does in Eve since it is technically the same corp.

3. Is there any benefit/penality to having a Dust Corporation in a alliance? Does this impact standings, our ability to group up or the defense of territories?

4. If my Eve Alliance is not in Faction Warfare will they be able to provide Dust Players Direct fire support on the ground who are taking part in FW? If not would the action result in a security loss?

In the end the importance of the answers to these questions for both myself and my alliance can not be overstated. Thanks in advance for any answers that can be provided. Please help me keep this posting on top so we can get some solid answers on these questions.

Player made Dust 514 corproations are 'netural' but are able to align themselves to any other faction or player 'factions' NPC wise this would be involving joining FW and running missions for that empire and get on that empire's good side standigns wise. Standings are like repuatation in other games with the strict stickler its impossible to make everyone you're very best friend, helping the caldari would **** of the gallente. 2. Yes this is being planned when spoken about last time. 3. Currently we're expecting higher taxes from buying in stations you're at odds with. Possible future interations would be unable to deploy in thier space, higher fees, and inability to access thier army faction stores for army special forces grade gear (which is like officer gear but less random and more procurable and rebuyable) Benifits would be reduced tax rates maybe access to better missions and lower fees (some stations in eve I dont get taxed at all) So expect something similar for dust 514 in full eventually. 4. Yes, neturals can screw over anyone in FW fleet wise I see no reason it being restricted dust 514 side.
