Wait, doesn't the Imperfects represent the Goonswarm's presence in Dust or something like that?

Not really a snide remark or bad joke, just a simple question, so correct me if I am wrong please. :)

Id still take us. Hell, do one better. We'd be able to do what the 300 spartans couldn't do against the numbers, we will WIN... MOLON LABE

arent the imps part of the goons?
and if so im sorry to say yea not that impressive ive had more trouble fighting imperfects and pink flufflies.
oh by the way... iiiiiimmmmm baaaaaaccccckkk

Goonswarm Federation (GSF) won't care until DUST has a significant impact on the economy of EVE, or nullsec sov.
Currently, all DUST does is make it a little easier to capture a FacWar system, which usually means nil.

When the District system is implemented for null, GSF will likely hand out contracts to defend their sov, as PI resources are the main source of POS fuel.
POSes are basically the backbone of 0.0 manufacturing and economy, so making their source of fuel vulnerable to capture is, in itself, a game-changer.
Expect Goonswarm to start caring when that day comes, and not a second sooner.

Nobody has any idea how Dust will actually interact with EVE. CCP has speculated about some general ideas they have, but as the stuff is at least a year away it's probably not useful to speculate about it.

There's a difference. In EVE you can swarm 80 players against 8. In Dust, you can't. Each team will have the same number of players in a given match, so numbers < skill, which kind of goes against the Goon strategy. Not to say there aren't skilled goons out there, but the thing that sets them apart is their ability to zerg their enemies.

The Pandemic Legion comparison is much better, but assumes we give a damn about getting their attention. Just because PL is a great merc corp in EVE doesn't mean we are trying to be them or need their attention.

Why does this thread feel so negative? I am not aware of any hostility between us and any EVE corp, so why not just answer the question? We do not know the exact nature of how EVE and Dust will interact, so we have a policy of keeping our options open. We are not linked to the Goons in any way. By my understanding, Immobile Infantry are the Goon presence here, and many of them seem like decent enough people, so perhaps we may work with them when it serves a purpose, or maybe we'll be on the other side. Depends on the money. We are mercs, after all. But seeing as how the Goons probably have the most money to throw around, seems like they have the most ability to afford the best, which is us.

Translation: Will wait until they find an advantage or after the good players leave.

Yea, but DUST isn't from the FPS world; it's from the MMOFPS world, and it's a game changer for sure.

Who gives a crap about a tiny little corp of good players if they don't have real muscle behind them. It's all about alliances and coordination in large numbers. DUST mercs should inform themselves of the power struggles within EVE, as they will some day play a direct role in their day to day lives as immortal killing machines.
