Like Onar's idea for exploration. However, I think we'd need specialized vehicles and suits to, say, check a ruin, or disguise your scent for hunting.
As for planet-to-planet, I know we "soul-jump" (i refuse to use that cumbersome word, and same concept), but the biomass / clones still have to be there physically. Having to Badger / WarBarge it over is the obvious way, and I'm sure there's plenty of people chomping at the bit to make "denial of supply" a real factor in combat as well as economics - Heck, I flew with those guys during the last weeks of my EVE time. |

Onar Kion wrote:Every planet in EVE has a Customs Office orbiting it. Meant for planetary interactions, to send your harvest goods up to the customs office to be picked up by your, or a corps cargo ship. Quote:Orbital Customs Offices are the primary points of contact between planetary and interplanetary economies. These facilities, resembling massive hangars in space, provide high-volume, high-frequency cargo transport services between a planet's surface and orbit.
Excerpt from the Amarr Prime Customs Agency regulations, section 17, subsection 4, paragraph 8:
The following items may only be imported or exported with the express prior approval of the Imperial Underscrivener for Commercial Affairs:
Narcotic substances; handheld firearms; slaver hounds (except as personal property); Mindflood; live insects; ungulates; Class 1 refrigerants and aerosols; forced laborers/personal slaves (or other sapient livestock); animal germ-plasm; biomass of human origin; xenobiotics; walnuts. That Amarrian code specifically denies two critical items for a DUST invasion: firearms and human biomass (clone material). Although I like your way of sticking with what's already in EVE, it has been made clear that the War Barge is the DUST link to space. As for who flies the Barge, I kinda hope it's able to be flown by either a DUST player or EVE player. EVE players could fly them as offshoots of battleships, whereas DUST players learn the skill as an evolution of MCC piloting
As a rethink, the War Barge may present an effective method of smuggling those banned substances (walnuts, really?) onto planet surfaces... |
