I like this idea, it's the nature of eve that the weak yield to the strong. Lets have no protection for the dust bunnies. They should be treated the same as any other item in eve. They are expendable and destructible. Welcome to New Eden Dust Bunnies...

At some point, I would like for Dust mercs to be able to land on and fight their way into EvE ships to destroy it and the pilots pod. Wanna know why? Here's some text from the EvE forums:



Now then, since the PC and EvE crowd seems so gung-ho on dropping us, I say that we should have an EvE ship hunting mode where we take a squad or two and get to attempt to hunt down EvE pilots who become too big of a nuisance.

Not sure how it we would get to the hull to fight our way in yet, but EvE pilots could be given slots on their ships for automated defense systems (and perhaps some controllable by the EvE player) that would attempt to protect their ships, and we could fight our way in with like a time limit and limited clones.

The ground based weapons they plan to give us that take out only the ships at the planet we are fighting on are NOT ENOUGH! If I am getting trolled by an EvE players, I deserve to be able to troll back goddammit!

Here's the deal
Me "oooooh a boarding party! Lets have some fun...." self destruct sequence initiated 2 minutes until detonation
You "aaaahferfecksaaaek im still loading"

Girls girls girls.
It's really simple. If EvE players start REALLY acting up, then it's as easy as having your whole corp get a trial on EvE. Then you all learn anchoring lvl 1. I won't explain the rest to avoid causing trouble, but 10000 cargo containers directly under a station seems to mess with things in that system. Like unbearable lag.

So, if EvE wants to mess with us, we can mess with them too. Because an EvE trial is free :)

You are probs right, but I'm such a nOOb @ EvE I wouldn't know. Don't get me wrong, it's not something I like the idea of (well, not much), but someone else mentioned it, and it seems like viable industrial action :P I'm sure people will work out many ways to mess with both Dust and EvE.

I strongly suspect that CCP is well aware of the issues and will ensure that we can't troll each other for a long time. It's in their interest to make all this effort and expense pay off and they control every aspect of the integration.

It's just like bringing home a new baby and having to deal with the jealously of the existing child. The kid may feel neglected and resent any attention given to the new baby, but with time and effort it will welcome its new sibling and enjoy playing with it.

well, say you board a ship, whats stopping the ship from docking/logging off and what happens to the eve player can they just go about there business while a battle rages on internally? does the ship get locked down until the battle is finished?

This is why I don't think this will ever happen; now boarding space stations, on the other hand, seems much more feasible.

Soon as I hear self destruct I would smile - even if he kills me that ship is worth a hella lot more then me lol

they cant bomb our planets and district without the coordinates from us so there is no trolling.

this.
