I have heard that the War barge will be a ship that EVE pilots fly for their corp. Not sure if this is true.

I want merc quarters to eventually just be something I sit in and then walk out onto a station and walk around with EVE players.

The War barge I would like to store resources for war efforts on the ground. I want it to be important for ground troops to have logistical support, and for those War Barges to be protected from above.

The problem about War barges is that they seem to be needed in space above the troops, but I could be wrong about that. Maybe they are just something beneficial for the players to have over the battlefield. Either way if they are a ship piloted by EVE players then there is a problem. They may have to warp off at any moment if they do not have a fleet to protect them, or if that fleet is going down.

I originally thought of War Barges as being more like a POS, like a Customs Office, that could be put up by either DUST players or EVE players. That POS would be put in reinforcement like normal POS.

The warbarges will be certain eve ships capable for medium turrets. These are the destroyers, cruisers, battlecruisers, battleships and dreadnaught.

D3LTA NORMANDY Doomheim 101	Posted - 2012.09.22 22:31:00 - [1] - Quote The title says everything. I personally would like to see the the merc quarter like a shuttle whit that you have to fly to stations and warbarges. At warbarges you should see all battles in this region fought by the owners corp and at stations you can see every battle in this region. After accepting a battle you have to fly to a certain warbarge. Whats your opinion?

With added things such as actions and speech bubbles and better communication it would be kinda cool to see them all walking around prepping for battle and discussing the plans and strategies around the battle map while setting up specific strategic points (I hope squad leaders can set up points before battles so squads automatically have a squad-specific mission). This would so help immerse players into the world of Dust and EVE.

Well first off bro, the merc quarters ARE on the war barge lol, so you can't use the merc quarters as a shuttle lol. those doors in the merc quarters will eventually open up to the war barge where there will be social areas, rentable apartments, MCC staging area, trophy rooms etc etc so one use for the war barges has already been pre determined. Aside from being the pre battle lobby/planning area its also going to be a social hub where people who aren't fighting can hang out and talk tactics and who's doing who's girlfriend.

No you can access them from the warbarge but you can do this when they are docked on it too so it is possible.

Enkidu Camuel Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 69	Posted - 2012.09.23 09:43:00 - [11] - Quote It's really interesting but I'm curisous about the combat role of War Barges, as mercs we're going to be deployed in contested planets... so we're going to expect a fierce orbital battle, so the War Barge will need to make his way towards the planet by force and mercs will unite as whole gigantic team to defend the War Barge? that would be pretty epic to see.
Corvus Dorn1 Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 5	Posted - 2012.09.23 09:51:00 - [12] - Quote If war barges are tangible objects in EVE space that EVE players can shoot at and ultimately destroy im guessing they are going to pretty well tanked out (even without fittings, though if it had fittings then it would have to be ownd by someone, which means someone could fly it....which means they could fly it into a sun....with us on it!!!! ) (yes i know you cant actually fly into suns in EVE, but you know what i mean) im guessing the war barges will have such high tanks otherwise in contested space they'd be shot down before our game (in DUST) even gets started, and the casuals would be pretty P'd about that i think

Very little is known on this subject still with CCP keeping their hands close to their chests but it does sound like maybe War Barges will be flown by EVE pilots. I'm still of the opinion though that they will not be able to be destroyed by EVE capsuleers. Dependant on how DUST mercs will travel to the planets of course. A veritable can of worms....

Mavado V Noriega SyNergy Gaming 2283	Posted - 2012.09.23 12:16:00 - [15] - Quote War Barges should be in control of DUST mercs primarily and maybe u can give access for an EVE player in ur corp to move it but for me this is one of the things that DUST players for sure have to be in control of CCP said DUST mercs wont be forced into NEEDING EVE players to play the game so this needs to be in the mercs control Idk how CCP is gonna make the barges be able to be shot by EVE players if its under merc control tho as that means CCP will have to have EVE combat within DUST idk i get the feeling CCP thought up these grand ideas and wont have a way to make them happen tbh, not in the way ppl expect anyway
