lmao, yes, this. +1
Welcome to New Eden, where if it's not nailed down, under guard and encrypted people will try to steal it.
If it is... well, they'll just try to shoot you and hope that helps them steal it  |

Personally I wonder how many Dust players ARE EVE players. And more to the point how many EVE player Corps are extending an arm into Dust. FW is growing (and CCP has plans for it to become even bigger) plus there's the eventual rollout into Null Sec. We've already seen Goons on the Dust boards, I wonder how many others (tho honestly Goons is big enough to have an impact regardless). |

So we're looking at (directly or indirectly) the confirmed involvement of thousands of EVE players from the word 'go'.
Or from before the word go lol
If a Dust player (who's new to New Eden) wants to make a splash I think the best idea is "who can I make alliances with" as opposed to "who can I try to gun down". Because really shifting the balance of power is a much more plausible way to impact New Eden than trying to pick up a rifle and come at it head on. That latter one will be fun to watch from the outside but isn't likely to get you very far. |

Well, the right shot could have some interesting effects. 
The down side is that if it has large effects it means you've gotten someones attention  and it's likely not going to be a good day after that. Unless you have friends  in which case it may work out quite nicely.
The real impact of Dust on EVE isn't going to come from "Dust vs EVE" it's going to come from new alliances forming between Dust and EVE players and the possible shifts in the balance of power that will result.
Cheers,
Cross

It is still my .02 that the norm will become alliances who have both DUST and EVE corps under their banners, as well as corps who have a combination of both - in order to coordinate their efforts with an integral fleet and ground arm. essentially having your forces 'in house'
+1 Think you nailed it.
Now can we all get back to shooting the Amarr and Caldari? |

and these ships cant target from orbit.
dust players have to do that.
come on guys this is all old news.
dont worry about what going to come if you have not even read what we already know
Wait so I can't use my Noctis to bombard Dust players from orbit? |
