FUTURE INTEGRATION

Taking this Colony to the next step we can now bring things more towards the Dust 514 side. As you may benefit from certain Dust FW Loyalty points (such as specialists, building enhancements, and other things of that nature) to create the colonies initially, you may also want to consider the mechanic of maintaining control and order in Eve Colonies. The idea is simple: While small, the colony can protect itself from the environment and hostile events as they can be relatively undetectable, however as it expands and becomes more productive it must deal with impairments such as radiation leaks or Drone infestations...This, while this is something that can possibly be on a timer and or random for Eve Players, it is something that could be solved in a 5-8 minute PVE match if they contract out some Dust players to clean up the problem for a small fee. Simple. Not crucial or crippling, just convenient. Of course, PVP content will always be there, but for growth outside of warfare, you need order and Dusters can make that easy.

The next step of course would be that if these random events (good or bad) become bothersome, why not just allow Dust corps to set up operations in your colonies? Build them a barracks that they can jump to and improve themselves and allow them to build infrastructure and defenses in your region. While the barracks or command center is operational, the effects of the events are reduced and the Dust corp in return gets a nice fee and or just the constant option to do missions (be nice to allow for a contract and terms). Thus everyone is happily producing and missioning away.

It's great to see people still interested in this gameplay. I know it's a pretty large fraction of the community, but alas we tend to put bugs/balancing before content...since this summer.
