They die because my hand and my mind says they should. Those that want me to fight, pay. I fight to win. I fight for profit. To become better. To have better gear. To be a better killer. Mortals don't matter to me. Only their cash. I am immortal.

I live to fight and I fight to kill and I fight to die and I fight for profit and I fight to win. Seriously though: Eve faction warfare is coming. CCP is cautious and slow. They have almost always been, with a few missteps but it is their way. The maps are randomly generated. The basic outlay is identical. ABC in Manus Peak are in their same locations but the buildings and the individual layout of B and C can vary widely as does the Defender and Attacker bases. This is in preparation for faction warfare. When an operational commander can be real (a Dust or Eve player) there will be standard maps that they can tweak. Change the buildings. Dynamically drop Supply Depots, CRU and Turrets during the battle. Each will cost ISK as will their own MCC. If you haven't played an Ambush on some of the larger maps yet they will drop those into the battle. It looks like the type and the positions are somewhat random. How much, I have no idea. It is surprising to run to some Null Cannon in a Skrimish only to discover it is on a platform this time. Or the control is under ground for C on Manus Peak. We have a half dozen maps. There has been a consistent limiting of their use as CCP is testing the server setup and will probably add another map or change one map for another as the current version become stable, enough. There is a constant tweaking of the Red Line to vary the difficulty and broaden the defending options while limiting the attackers. Beta testing the server requirements, the battle load outs, the lag, the map, the randomness and all that is what we are fighting for right now. After release I suspect that we will discover the connections to Eve will very gradually be opened. CCP does not want EVE to be adversely impacted by Dust nor vice verse. Then Factional Warfare, Alliances, Ideals and long term plans for Some Specific Future will come into play. And it will be expensive. An ongoing long term war between however many sides will entail thousands of battles, billions then trillions of ISK with the possibility of some Battle Commander getting additional operational budget to drop Turrets and Supply Depots to change the course of an individual battle. This is seriously going to be a long form game.
