One of the best, if not the very best post on these threads.

Keep your hopes high!

I hope we as a community keep this topic on top and I would hope that CCP could at lease acknowledged that they have seen this.

Some guy tried to feed me a little ammonia-scented cube on a toothpick today. I suspect it was a CCP assassin trying to trick me into eating poisoned h+íkarl.

Then again it might have been a nice man trying to broaden my culinary horizons...

Here's my suggestion for the day:

With the destruction of EVE ships above the District, what if, and this might be server breaking, but what if they came down into Dust and crashed on the battlefield?

Dude, that would be the coolest thing.

I wonder if that's what the flaming wreckage in some of the maps is supposed to be...

Still, given our current map size, having a battleship crash into the district would pretty much end the match.

It wouldn't make much sense. The battleships are in high orbit. The small bits would break up in the atmosphere. The large bits could literally land anywhere on the planet, not just the relatively small area that is a district.

The ship isn't going to maintain a perfect orbit over the district when its in the process of exploding in several directions at once. Even when you throw realism out the window for the sake of "gameplay" it still doesn't look right.

it would be space port to customs office. then into eve players holds who would then haul to market.

eve is not like dust for the market an item bought or sold in one station stays in that station until you move it. this is why we have trade hubs.

you may find thesse diagrams useful for renaming the products as they already exsits in eve and come from pi (planetery interaction) http://www.eve-online-fan.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Eve_PI_Diagrams_v1_4.pdf

a lot of the base products are not very useful to an eve pilot due to low value and size. it only really becomes worth moving them with the 2nd tier and even more so the third. some products as you can see on the diagrams are very complex to make requiring several planets to make.

CCP would have to kludge something since EVE's old celestial physics engine is pretty awful but hard to change.

Can infrastructure be destroyed? In the sense of an MCC.

Could cease fire agreements be made? So say to very evenly matched Corps with lots of supplies and the battle is beginning to falter because people are logging off. Could Team leaders make an official cease fire agreeing to stop fight for an intermission then pick it up at an agreed date? Because that would be nice. It would add a nice intensity to playing.

"Man this battle is killer, been at it for four days now!"

Hmmm... Never thought about it. Although I suppose if the corp battle mechanic moves away from from the "I bet you 10M ISK that I can kick your dupa" system to actual district conquest it would be less relevant.

For instance, let's say I'm attacking your district (yes, I know, but play along) and our two corps have been fighting pretty constantly for so long that we're all hallucinating from lack of sleep.

If my corp simply stops attacking and loses the current battle, then everything stays the same unless you counterattack. I could email you and negotiate a ceasefire, but there doesn't necessarily need to be a game mechanic to enforce it. After all, if your corp is as tired as mine, then the likelihood that you could retake my Forward Base or something is about as small as me taking your Refinery.

Heck, even if one side or the other starts using IBBs (Instant Battle Blueberries) instead of corp members or OGCs (Ongoing Guard Contract mercs) for defense, the odds would favor the fresh players over the worn-out pros.

But then wouldn't battle progression be lost if the game just ended? And so you are favoring replacing the tired with the fresh to keep battle more constant rather than consistent (which could definitely work).?

Is there going to be a way to sell districts?

OP makes me feel like the Dust beta should look more like this.

Ooohh... Settlers of Catan!

I've got kitten for sheep!
