You make some very interesting points, HOWEVER (and there was always going to be a 'however' after I started my post like that), you position seems to assume that non-EvE players will not be able to join EvE corporations.
In my view, that is almost the entire point of this game..... to form bonds between DUST and EvE, be it through major corporations (non-mercenary) or through independent corporations (Mercenaries).
I beleive, and I could be way off the mark here, but it will be like real life........ the Corporations that run both EvE and DUST will not be as strong in DUST as those that are Independent.
The specialists (expert DUSTers) will almost certainly want to stand alone from the Major corporations.
The way I see it, the only time ISK will become and issue for anyone in this game is if they do not join a corporation of some kind, be it a EvE/Dust or a DUST only corp.

A miner can sit in a T1 mining barge and scoop in a million creds worth of ore in 10 minutes with junky skills. With how FW is going, every month or so it's easy to make a billion just doing a couple L4's a day and cashing in. Hardcore mission runners have a steady stream of income, hardcore Plexers have an order of magnitude greater, and skilled traders have more options than that.
If you're in a pure Dust corp using only Dust guys, you'll never be able to afford anything.
If you're in an EVE-compatible corp, you will never want for cash.
I wonder how CCP will deal with this.
I think you might be wrong here.
I think the non-EvE Dust corporations will possibly be some of the wealthiest around.
LIke many things, if you join a large corporation they will give you enough assets to purely get the job done. If you join specialist corporations/companies, they will often excel in what equipment they allow you to use.
My message might be a little mixed up, but EvE corps in Dust may have some of the largest disposable income available, however, it will come with a tight (read very tight) leash, whereas a self funding Dust Corporation will get the biggest and best rewards...... and, they'll spend it how they wish, answering only to themselves.
You can see what is going to happen. The best in this game will NOT be dictated to by EvE corporations.

Cpl Quartz wrote:good question, how do you transfer isk to dust and not totally **** off the ps3 players that dont have affiliations to eve. 
You don't, and this was the point I was making earlier.
Those players you are worried about upsetting JOIN the corporations that get funding....... Hey Presto, everyone has funding.
A the point of release there will be mega-bucks corporations running around all funded by EvE corps, however, and mark my words  (just for the drama) within a month or so, the best performing corporations will NOT be EvE corps.
*EDIT*
I disagree with some of the other comments about keeping things separate. If you don't share economies, you don't share anything in my mind. There has to be impact on actions or in-actions. Losing a battle you were supposed to win, should have an economic impact on both the contractee and the contractor.
On another point, though it's impossible to tell right now, I think prices will plummet once production from EvE side.
ps..... Can someone please ******* fix this draft save message. It's making my screen bounce around more than some of hte ******* bunnies I try and shoot (and fail). |

Cpl Quartz wrote:your kidding yourself. the best corps will still be eve funded, that's the whole concept of the way they designed this game to tie into EvE. its a two way thing eve players will need dust mercs and dust merc need EvE players, maybe not totally at release but that's what they are hoping for in the future.
Of course..... funded by EvE players THROUGH contracts. Only time will tell, but no top Dust merc will be told 'what-for' by an EvE alliance. |
