Did you happen to find my thread asking about EVE players opinions on Dust? It was quite the read. |

Flagratus wrote:What it sounds like to me, is EVE wants to stack the deck in their favor, by hindering what we can do in Dust. Giving them the advantage, while leaving us high and dry. CCP, if you want us to be Mercenaries, give us the abilities that go with the name.
And no I haven't, Cerebral, slap me the link, if you wouldn't mind.
And Governor, yeah, that would probably be better in the long run, don't want the EVE Players to scream and rant and hate us more. But that's what makes me want to play this game more.

The article's been written but don't know when the editorial team will publish it.

Abandon me? I take your ship.
Don't abandon me? I take your ship.
Don't do anything to me? I take your ship.
Call me in to take your ship back for you? I kill the guys, take your money and take your ship.
Need I go on? I disagree with this point. EvE players can simply do what EvE players are meant to do and that is put up contracts. Don't want your ship raided by the mercs you just back stabbed? Simple contract more mercs to defend your ship. Don't want to be pirated and hijacked by mercs from dust? Simple contract more mercs to defend your ship. It's easy as that. Flagratus is 100% right and we should be able to do all of that. There is no valid reason why we can't when they can easily make balanced defenses against it.
EVE lore will not allow for things like boarding party's i don't think.
I love Dust but it will always be the secondary game, EVE will always take priority and the main chair. There's no way around that. |

There's no way around that. I don't buy that, the great thing about two interlinked franchises that are constantly evolving and changing is that there is near infinite possibilities of what can happen between them. Even if Eve's lore won't allow for it that doesn't mean the lore won't or can't allow for it in the future. There are so many possibilities and the technology is good enough that neither franchise has to take the second chair, they can both ride first in their respective rights.
For one there are ships that cost multiple billions of isk, if i lost it because of someone on Dust i'd be really angry and so would a lot of the EVE playerbase and they have a lot more leverage with CCP than dust does.
Besides, Lore wise, in EVE you live in your capsule and that's put inside the ship, you control the whole ship from your pod by using your mind.
Having someone board your ship in EVE could be pointless, they couldn't take it over as it's part of your brain and it would be empty with nobody on board. |
