I was asking around and was surprised to see how many people didn't realize this. The corp matches are causing real **** to happen to the guys in Eve and shouldn't be taken lightly.
Every corp battle can cause a district to change hands and as a result affect how quickly the Eve pilots make the district move from one faction to the other. This is not a future feature, you are doing it right now. |

Thanks Kain ,
Can you give us a little more detail of what that exactly means? I don't play Eve. So every corp battle we play it has description above and those are the systems and planets we are fighting on.
But what side do we represent? And is that determined at random? What is the advantage do winning or loosing if you work for a certain faction up there? |

Are the only ways to do corp battles are through the contracts EVE factions put up, what i mean is there a way for a dust player with an eve account to set up corp matches on the same district over and over again so as not to mess too much with that universe until the system gets fleshed out? |

Corp battles are contracts for any of the 4 empires. When a corp wins that fight the FW militia pilots for that empire have an advantage in that solar system.
Eventually these militias will have some more control over where these contracts go. This will connect the dust action with the actual frontline fighting in the FW warzone.
Then there is nullsec... |

But most of the time Corp battles aren't active. And people will play the Instant Battle matches. How will those effect EvE? |

Instant battles are the simplified matches meant for pure fps players who have no interest in the mmo side. |

The incentive exists for eve players to want dust players to do corp battles, but what incentive do dust players have?
Paying to lose against a tournament team isn't what any smart mercenary company would do, I am pretty sure RL mercs are not that dumb, heck if they were the US could have saved allot of money on military contractors in the Iraq war by having them and the insurgents they fight both agree to give one million collateral before they are allowed to fight, and win the money they both bid on. |

Issue is (and CCP realizes this and are working on it) it is not built properly so that dust mercs feel they are making a change, and it does not give much incentive eve side to go out of the way and form relationships with dusters. |

Yes exactly, right now corp battles are a fun distraction from pub stomping. And they offer greater team play.
But the reward is not there or any immersion in why that battle is important.
I think corp battles should pay out a percentage of all the loosing teams gear that was lost in the match, and that should be given to the mercs who participated as an incentive to actually play them.

Unfortunately, it only affects FacWar right now. Plus, DUST mercs don't get anything extra out of it - only the EVE pilots see an actual benefit to winning a District.
Once the contracts are open to player issuance, such as taking over PI facilities, corps will spend much more time fighting each other instead of pub-stomping, as the players are going to offer more - especially if the PI system is revamped to have a greater effect on the New Eden economy.
OT: seriously, humanity requires planets to really do anything. But in EVE, all they give is warp-to points, tech 2 secondary materials, and POS fuel.
EDIT: true about the infrastructure... Thing is though, most EVE players won't even get to touch that stuff, so it's a backwater portion of the economy.
What's needed is something like the iPad for EVE - one of those products that starship pilots never knew they needed. The new Sleeper-based gear like Ancillary Shield Boosters seem to fit the bill, but I think they have blueprints already |

At this point Dust battles are not affecting EVE significantly. The bonus given to system control is negligible. |
