EVE pilots walk among you on the ground. I am one of them.

Your corporation will be infiltrated. Your assets will be stolen. You will die to seemingly friendly fire. Your corporation will be disbanded. Your allies will turn on you. You will be subjected to socioeconomic warfare. Armies will be flattened into sheets of glass. Your clone won't die, but your spirit will crushed.

Are you ready? We are.

you clearly don't know how corp mechanics work. Corp can indeed be disbanded without approval of the other 50-100 people in the corp.

Eventually it will have more of an impact than that. When our corp went **** up we lost sov on 1/3 of our systems and lot our logistic chain of JBs in 12 hours.

Losing your corp and identity is a huge hit to morale.

This. In a persistent single shard world, corps _will_ have assets (bases on planets, shared equipment), standings and reputation. After all, risk and loss which matter are the main selling points of Dust. And even in EVE, your reputation is in the end that matters - it gets you friends and enemies. Big alliances live and die by their morale and reputation. And this will propagate to Dust, as the world is shared. No one can remember names of all half a million characters - it's the standings and reputation that takes them to you.

And if you can kill reputation and morale, the group is dead. This is of course very difficult, and often takes hundreds of people and months to do. But it's also something that is done in EVE already, so it's a reality, not just theory. Dust being partially separate helps a bit in limiting that, but it's still theoretically possible.

It also implies some semblance of intelligence, and, if what I've seen of the EvE forums is anything to go by, that's a very rare commodity in the EvE community.

I imagine all the higher ups in the more powerful corps bought it all up or something.

EVE players need to remember one thing. WE ARE MERCENARIES. I am in it for my own wallet, not yours, not a corps, not even my buddies down the hall. You can try to screw me over all you want. As long as I have a clone to spawn into I will keep on fighting for whoever will pay me the most.

As to bombarding "Friendlies" on the surface of a planet, you're only going to screw yourself. FPS gamers don't like to be stabbed in the back. They will make it their mission to do it to you, and it won't be at a corp level either. It will be a personal vendetta carried out by those you screwed. Vengeance will be swift, we won't need months of planning and prep to be ready to fight.

Unlike MMOs, FPS gaming is not a long term investment. We are in it for instant satisfaction from killing our enemies. Our enemies don't even have to be someone we don't like either. It could be our best-friend sitting beside us who happened to be on the opposite team, we will hunt them down to laugh at them after we kill them and them to us.

Simply put, bring it on. We are ready when you are.
