I wouldn't worry too much about that. The beauty of New Eden is you can choose what you want to do. Industry and economics will most likely remain a mostly EVE thing but it would be nice to have the option of participating from the DUST side as well in some fashion.

As a miner I have no interest in mining in first-person in DUST. I'd be happy to own planetary installations but they better be automated for the most part, like planetary interaction is in EVE. I will not run around with a man-portable mining laser.

iguess I donGÇÖt mind miners mining if I can walk up behind them and be a shooter mining their skull. This can add a whole new aspect of the game for fps players you guys who want to do non fps stuff is cool but we can just charge in and drop you and move on. IGÇÖm kind of digging this now. Maybe we can get some music game people in here too we can beat them with guitars oooo oooo and maybe racing game people we can shoot their tires and blow up their tricked out future HondaGÇÖs drop in a couple fighting game aspects and I can upgrade my nova knife to hadouken levels.(sorry for the sarcasm level but I just upgraded that skill)(this is a fps game) lets concentrate on making a fully playable fps game then we can add in other stuff for sh*^s and giggles.

Yes, In my mind this has always been the case.

But since expectations of this game to be out and in-development for atleast 5+, 10+ years, there needs to be a visionaries also.

while I do see your point my only rebuttal is that I do not think the life span of this game is as long as many believe. For a game to hold a console players attention for 5+ to 10+ years it would be a miracle and would have to have been the most perfect game created. realistically it has 3 good years maybe and then maybe if youGÇÖre lucky and have an extremely hardcore loyal fan base 2 more subpar years while people find a replacement. so it is good to come up with ideas and all but I think they would be best served by fine tuning the main idea first and try and build up that fan base before the ever wandering attention span of us console lowlifes finds something better suited to our liking.
