I just finished reading about some big EVE scandals and player riots. It got me thinking about how cool it was to make a change in a video game just by working together. Then I started thinking about how badly I wanted to wreck EVE as a Duster (Or Dust Bunny. Whatever we're called).

For all of the hate on Swarms and AV grenades, and hundreds of "Tanks are OP" threads, I hope EVE is ready for ProtomanX, Bad Furry, and the rest of Dust 514. I've never been big about EVE-O, but I'm ready to spit in the face of whichever Titan pilot thinks they run sh!t.

Can't wait for the time to come.

Or the planetside Jita Scams.

Give me any number of dropsuits and I will pay them back to you doubled.

Reminds me of Baghdad, circa 1993.

u realize we pretty much own your contracts right? but thats beside the point. Why should a duster feel inclined to **** in a capsileers cheerios? we're apart of the same community here, you'll need us but we don't necessarily need you atm. I'm sorry but your chest beating has failed. dusters need to undstand how to organize groups outside of they're own PR and all that. Time and time again people in eve dismissed this minute detail and payed the price. eve players are willing to do any means necessary to win will you? will you spend the time infiltrating, orchestrating back room deals, major fleet and ground ops. jack prices so high your side can't afford anything, ect...

its not oh i'm gonna stomp on all eve players cuz i have a cool weapon, my corp's kdr is top notch, and we have 1k players. none absolutely none of that matters if you aren't willing to do as said above. the planning of these things is tremendous. its no longer a question of is dust better then eve or vice versa, its who is willing to comprimise and work together in an organized fashion. this my friend is where the bonds of warriors is formed. Where formidable alliances are forged through the fires of war and brotherhood. this, i one day would like to see, one where the lines of dust and eve aren't competitions but collaborations. fighting and thinking as one our future my friends this is us.

Titan pilots aren't needed, I'll bombard you via Catalyst variant

This post made me giggle.

A few thing tho before u get you hole feet wet with kittens on eve players. I don't think you realize how big and how old and how organised the eve community is. You realize that people in eve have been stealing cheating and back stabing eachother for close to 10 years and you think that some group of fps twitchers are going to come on seen and show us something that hasn't already been done or thought of? At most you will be a pawn in an eve players plot to screw some other eve player. It will be a long long time before a dust Bunny is going to be able to effect eve in more than a feather ruffle.

Next point I remind you that he who controls the high ground... guess who has it and guess who doesn't. It will be hard to spit in the eye of that titan pilot that's sitting in a ship the size of New York that's in space when you are in your assault suit on the ground. Just saying.

Plus you would be amiss to think that the titan wielding alliance's are going to get mercs they don't know to do anything important for them. you would be sadly wrong. You realise that there are alliance's with thousands of members and allies right. You think they arnt going to have their own dust mercs?

Don't get me wrong I would love to read about a duster giving it to an eve player. Its a sand box and its this type of stuff that makes it fun. But I think you should aim alittle lower before you start shooting for the stars. So to speak.

Well this is just your typical FPS player not quite getting the whole dynamic at hand here. One's ability to perform well in an FPS game is so stupidly meaningless in actually affecting things in EVE it's not even worth considering as a factor. Oh you killed the enemy and captured the Skyfire and blew up some EVE ship in orbit? Woo......no one cares. People lose ships all the time in EVE, and although it can sometimes sting, its just the cost of doing business. Blowing up some ship in orbit will change very little, it won't cause a shift in power, it wont take out an alliance, it won't do anything. Your ability to shoot people on the ground means nothing.

Like someone said before, FPS ability has nothing to do with your cunning in the meta game. You can come riding in here on your ego horse and act like you're going to outsmart the EVE players because you can shoot people in the head...let me tell you, they will devour you. Non-EVE players are joining the game late, and everyone that's been around in EVE for a long time is going to put all of the new players to shame if they go showboating around thinking they'll make a difference.

Is EVE ready for players like protoman and BAD FURRY? Truth is, they don't give a ****. They are ants on a rock, and as individuals they are of no consequence to EVE in the least. All the EVE players care about is how they can use the Dust players to make a profit. To them, you are just tools and a means to an end.

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).

TEST and Pandemic Legion are also here at the very least.

i believe the new warbarges and dreads are the only one that can bombard, and dread bombardment is much more dynamic and effective.

But But But what about those Dust trailers that say how one shot can destroy an empire huh huh huh? How bout that huh?

Yes, I'm sure EVE players will have no idea what hit them once some annoying furry guy and some random other guy start... uh... making bad posts on a public Dust release forum rather than a private closed beta forum? Why will EVE players give two ***** about anyone in Dust, again?

Ask Test Alliance or Goonswarm. Some of them seem to care.

I'm coming to find how old and organized some of the incoming groups are. Many false perceptions are circulating.

Within New Eden we do have long standing histories between alliances, corporations, and individual players. The meta game is established and vibrant. Smoky backroom deals happen at every level. Backdoor intel happens at all levels, and trust is a big deal. Trust even in your enemies.

Mr. mongo, you'll find that titan weilding alliances have yet to see Dust as any significance at all. Those uf us that do play Dust at this point are generally considered to be mildly "less than brilliant". (the word I had was nixed)
