EVE is not an FPS, so why would Goonswarm be expected to have an FPS presence in the first place? How concerned are The Imperfects that they aren't a factor in the competitive RTS scene?

by imps i meant impswarms ive seen them around and someone told me they were with goonswarm. but i coulda just been told wrong info.

bagels anyone??

didn't I shoot your ass a few times the other day?

Nobody outside of these forums has any idea who or what Imperfects are.

Goonwaffe is an EVE corp. It doesn't care about Dust, because Dust has nothing to do with EVE, currently. It may never care about Dust. Some people from Goonwaffe play Dust, but those people don't represent Goonwaffe in any official capacity, and are playing on their own, out of personal interest in the game. Hope that clears everything up.

Impswarm is part of Imperfects. Nothing to do with Goons.

IIRC Immobile Infantry is the Goons in Dust514 so far.

im sure you wished you shot me a few times the other day..lol REAL TALK.

No.

I'm sorry, who are you exactly?

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.

a great player.
no qq friendly competitive love long walks on the beach candle lit dinners bagels and bacon. and you???

BOB tried that. They discovered that eighty frigates versus eight battleships was not a fight stacked in their favor.

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.

MOLON LABE

Soldiers of fortune don't make a visible mark on the galaxy. I've already heard a few times that the imperfects plan to be mercenaries and nothing more.

But likely hot favourites to take the next tournament, no? If/when Dust 514 gets its first FPS New Eden Open, favourites there too? So they could hog tournament prizes for some time yet. Plenty for them to make a mark with competitively, without needing to deal with SOV.

We'll see a few goons join in open I'm sure, but I wouldn't bet on some sort of massive CFC Jam-up until they decide it's worth the effort. As DUST is right now? it's just a curiosity, an entertaining little bauble to occasionally play with.
