Silly thread. I'll take your Proto cannons, blow up your MCC, take the district and chuckle at the "KDR doesn't matter" crowd. You can't defend your cannons if you're dead/respawning. These threads go round in circles.

"if I do such&such KDR isn't important"
"but you are dead and respawning"
"I'm back and I'll ha...
"gotcha again"
"argh fine I'll bring a...
"gotcha again"

I think you mean if ISK transfers ever are allowed between Dust and EVE.

Ya know I keep seeing these threads about how the only thing that matters is KDR??
I was wondering if any Goonswarm can help out to show a contrary viewpoint in line with EVE??
(when ISK transfers go live).
The KDR kittens think that getting kills gets them ISK as if a few hundred Ks worth is money??

They forget that the winner of a match is the side who has a SURVIVING MCC and not the KDR kittens waving an AR.
What am I on about??
Low skilled folks wipeing the floor with the KDR kittens.

What decides an MCC versus MCC match is the amount of damage done to an MCC.
Folks with a lot! of ISK but few skills versus folks with a lot! of skills but hardly any ISK.
Follow??

The MILITIA null cannons do the most damage to the MCC.(so far in this build)
PROTO deployable null cannons do a lot more damage but cost a lot more.(maybe in this next build).

One side has no money to buy these.
One side has the ISK to buy them.

What happens when one side has ten proto null cannons and the other side can barely PURCHASE five MILITIA null cannons?

DPS.

What side is going to have more DPS??
The no skill but ISK rich folks.

KDR means nothing!! if you are UNABLE to field a good level of equipment.


Controlling five militia level null cannons means nothing if the enemy can field ten proto null cannons at the red zone.

I'm not sure what the talk about GSF taking over DUST 514 is about. DUST 514 will not affect nul-sec sovreignty at launch of DUST 514 and I suspect that aspect will never be implemented or if so then DUST operations will not have that much effect on sovreignty at all.

DUST 514 will mainly be concerned with Factional Warfare boundaries in New Eden as far as I can see.

Dust is going to be THE major Sov mechanic. Have you not been reading the intreviews and things?

If I had 1 billion isk I would probably just horde it all and sit there looking like this guy

Are you going to be chuckling when you and all your KDR buddies get melted from orbit by no-skill n00bs in whatever Dreads or whatnot they are using for Orbital Bombardment?

nice to see the trolls are out even if they dont play anymore, the others should be due in for a visit soon.

*boil's tea*

Your point instantly goes out the window when you realize that high skilled players will receive the most funding

You kill me with a 100mil ISK spaceship and yes, I'll be chuckling. Because we'll still win the ground war, and I believe the phrase is "all ur base r mine".
Yes, I'll chuckle. I'll be flattered too.

I just read skill here skill there... This is all bullshit, the one and only thing that matters is a team that works together and communicates.. I don't give a damn about skill.. If the team sucks there is no way out.. There can be 5 newcomer only with militia gear they still rule the field if they use COM...

People who play this game need to understand that they need a fuc-king mic to communicate with the teammates..

Still to many don't fuc-king have a mic and that's the problem.

Your point instantly goes out the window when you realize that high skilled players will receive the most funding

for a dust player 1 billion would be damn alot. Maybe not for a Eve player but you have to consider the payment we get at the moment.

that is true, a billion is quite a lot for us; hell ive got 62mil ISK, and i feel im quite comfy w/ how my wallet is

It comes back in the window when you realize that the individual contract bounties aren't going to be funding any significant wars. Once a duster can be in an Eve based corp, the corporation wallet can be stuffed to the gills with Eve ISK. Corporate funding will eventually come from taxes and planetary complex ownership profits. Only very horrible and short lived alliances ask their troops to pay for their own gear.

Once the market opens up you'll also find very sharp market players that rarely fight but make tons more ISK than the highly skilled shooter.

Tbh, KDR "kittens" (LoL, that's actually funny. Meow) who are part of a rich corp will simply win all day everyday? I'm tempted to go GOON. You all make it sound like a free merc won't be able to pick his fights :P

I think you're missing the point.

Who's going to fund a corp full of scrubs over a corp full of efficient, ruthless killers?

A lot of people will if im honest.

People would rather put their money into a corp they know they can trust and has the political motivations than a neutral party that could go **** goons on them, skills not as important as trust in this game.

You'll find this a lot, even after i've been chatting with a lot of people in EVE and their respective alliances you'll find this is the general feeling, You're not going to be "for hire" every match, you're going to have to pick a side and stick with it for quite some time to get anything of value.

You kill me with a 100mil ISK spaceship and yes, I'll be chuckling. Because we'll still win the ground war, and I believe the phrase is "all ur base r mine".
Yes, I'll chuckle. I'll be flattered too.

First off, your math is a little off-- Dreadscost a littlemore than100m ISK

Secondly, you will not have "won the ground war" when your clone reserves get depleted by PL glassing the planet with a fleet of SuperCarriers just because they can.

Lastly, you misspelled flattened.

You obviously don't know how OS works. There will be cool downs you'll also have to make sure the enemy can't fire back or what if they have a space fleet of there own. I love the fact that some people think they'll just be shooting strikes all day!

Well trust is obviously important, but if I had a big corp in EVE I'd want our ISK going to mercs that can get the job done, not just ones that I know won't try to clear out our wallet. What's the point in having all that money if you can't even take back a simple district?
