You're starting to sound like you have an inferiority complex, man.

thats to complicated we just want to shoot people in pubs and do corp battles. win some, lose some, rez 10 seconds later.

life of a merc is simple, stop trying to over think things with principles.

Mother of God, some of the Engrish in this thread....

Not to mention the eggers are going to try to make the dust bunnies as mad as possible. Gonna be important to have independent people to fight back.

Can't if the the OP is trying to be serious or just trolling.....

Either way, it's pretty sad.

This thread basically says that the social system will be divided between pimps and whores.

Not very surprising if you ask me, seeing as how that is the case with every social system throughout mankind since we left the caves.

COOL PHD DISSERTATION TOPIC: Video Game Culture Develops like Our Own!!

You can always hire EVE mercenary corp to "protect you from the orbit" and then turn against them.

You do realize that we all like this game and like the idea of making our own way in it the same as you do, right? I have no more interest in the "puppet" idea than you do.

I'm sorry Sir, could you explain something to my. As I understand you want to set up an independent, and free from the influence of eve pilots, corporation that will grow in power and one day turn against them? It is unacceptable, I will have to add you to my watch list and have an eye on you. Expect that Dyrector Jita will contact you shortly(he is very important guy in Jita, and he is angry at you).

(sophisticating trolling post)

They probably have to be in orbit. Hence ORBITAL cannon. But I see no reason why it shouldn't be able to destroy capital ships. IMHO super caps should NOT be able to enter orbit (invent some lore about mass & gravity & colliding with planets being bad for your health).
I'm saying this because losing a Titan or such to an orbital cannon would be unbearable for some.
I hear they take some time to build...

The module was removed. Now you only need a certain type of ammo to do a strike.

put your tin foil hat on we have a conspiracy. I won't stop my post there. I don't care how many ppl you'll get in your dust corp. Your a planet viking with no space fleet to back you up. sure you gained a few billion isk contracts here and there but you still can't fund a full scale war.

Full scale wars take upwards to 500b isk and thats pretty much for the start. Don't kid yourself you need us the eve player. On the same hand we'll need you for a lot of situations. But if your unwilling to even work with a fleet then you won't make it far out of high sec.

Well said. Both of these games can work without the other, but you'll only achieve true power through cooperation.

^another wannabe troll?

Make sure you know who you're calling a puppet before you start throwing that out. Your corp might end up getting nowhere if you make too many enemies with EVE players, EVE puppets, as well as Dust independants.

Don't alienate yourself from potential allies by automatically assuming from one statement which side someone represents.

Wow...
I hope Betamax gets contracted to take a few districts from your Corp post-launch, because I'll enjoy showing you the difference between being or using puppets, and working together.

^this

I'm on the same page with Mobius on this one, can't wait to kill many of your clones.

Hmm. what would you call this?

I'll be in an eve corp- fighting in the name of that corp (with some financial support).

However, when there isn't fighting to do for that corp, whatever other dust players there are in it will be hiring themselves as mercs for our corp's allies.

Really gives you pause. I can't figure him out, myself.

So you're subliminal message is:

"THIS GAME IS DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!"

Ok, you sure took the long way around making that your argument.

-The game is not doomed
-We don't feel like puppets
-We will have fun working WITH EVE corps
-Dust WILL be an EVE pawn at first, but after CCP opens up null things will be able to change
-If you don't want to be a pawn wait til Dust goes to null
-Every game has players that aren't that good, or don't have the patience to get better gear and therefore say the game is horrible. They should have joined sooner if they didn't want to be behind, but since they are the only thing they can do is keep fighting to get that gear or...QQ and quit.
-Learn to take advice from the EVE side, not all of them are trying to subjegate you hell a good amount of them are looking forward to the new challenge Dust is going to bring. Honestly they have the experience in New Eden and if you listen for awhile you may understand future challenges better.

or

-Put on your tinfoil hat
-Lock yourself in your basement
-Use your corp of 1 to dominate in ambush
-QQ yourself to sleep

Hes easy to figure out, Napoleon complex with a large dose of the assbergers.

Any EVE player please tell this guy how many members in a corp is required to even compete in null sec...I only mention this because your endgame sounds like nullsec to me and I highly doubt a small DUST corp will have any chance of holding a spot in null. You might take an outpost or 2, but the next day they will be gone.

Go ahead and spit in the face of anyone that wants to try to help you with advice, see how long you last.

Oh and just so you know I too support Dust being able to influence EVE in the future the way they will DEFINETELY influence Dust for at least the first several months.

I, for one, am highly looking forward to Faction-based play, whether it be PVE or PVP stuff.

I want to fight for a purpose, rather than just cause PEWPEWPEW GUNGAME(tm) SCRUB gimme billions of isk.

doesn't hurt that I'm a Lore Junkie/RP kinda guy. (I'm the type that collects and reads ALL the books in Elder Scroll games, and spends vasts amounts of time on Wikis reading game lore for whatever game I am playing at the time)

heh the PS3 players in my corp enjoyed the isk I threw into their wallets, so too did the many random players who I gave it too, sounds like your mad you didn't get any, I'd have gladly given you some fake sisi isk if you'd been in my local chat.

.....WTF !! OMG ! THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT !!!!
Dam its about time some one opened there mined

I wish you could -1 in this forum, I would -1 for everyone of your posts

of course not, its all about attention and reinforcing your own opinion that the world is against you and people must rise up under your command to change it, I'd stop feeding you the attention but well your entertaining.

You argue like a 12 year old, for example "I know you are but what am I"

Dance puppet dance.

dot't know m8 but it looks to me like well you are a MUPPET with all that stuff up there^^^

"Prove yourself brave, truthful, and unselfish, and someday, you will be a real boy."

Battletech, to quote another universe, has a lot of mercs. These mercs are either independent, as you call them, or house mercs (what you refer to as puppets). They have stable, long-term contracts with a specific faction, but that doesn't mean they won't eventually end up somewhere else one day, it's just that as mercs, when the pay is good, the work easy (but not so easy you grow bored), then you tend to be okay staying in one place and with one employer.

However, true mercs tend to go where the pay day is, so I suggest a third category: contracted merc corps. You will see some merc corps going from one contract to the next, taking contracts only in the short term, or for one 'war'. You will also see mercs who only fight for one faction/alliance, and perhaps anyone that alliance approves them to work for. But I believe most will fall somwhere inbetween as contract mercs, being employed for lengthy periods, but still not bound specifically to one alliance. They may take no-compete clauses out in their contracts, such that they can still take other contracts, just not against their employer, for instance.

Anyway, cool hypothesis, just thought I'd attempt to tweak it a bit.

Edit:

Also, if there ends up being a way to profit from invading and capping a planet that doesn't involve holding the planet, such as stripping it of all its resources and supplies, then we will also likely see bandit or marauder dust corps. They will have an EVE presence, either as a supposed 'puppet', or as a DUST based corp with EVE assets. They will likely take contracts, but will be the equivalent of DUST pirates.

I am excited as I contemplate the development of the major DUST corps. Corps that honor their contracts and are considered dependable AND efficient, will be highly valued, regardless of whether they are independent, puppet, contract, or marauder corps. Some corps will become known for being untrustworthy and treacherous and some of those will be known for their skill and ability to win battles, but will it be worth the risk of hiring them to defend your planet only to have them potentially hand it over to your enemies and plunder it themselves? Exciting times in the EVE universe to come.

haa all i can say is show me the $$$$ ok thats my job and you what you all about son YOU just like to get your hand up some peoples a.ss and make them your own puppets right lmao

Ha, ha, ha, wait, crap. That just went horribly wrong. For me. Horribly, horribly wrong. Why didn't I just quote Lampwick instead?

"Aaaahh! I've been double-crossed! Help! Help! Somebody, help! I've been framed! Help! "

omg you still think there is a fufture how lovely for you. Kids is right omg you just don't see it do you

This and....well this +1

He is VERY entertaining.(that's why I keep bumping this thread)
