CCP has said that there looking into all sorts of things regarding this issue. Upon launch of the planetary conquest system though, only one region of space is going to be available, and in that region 250 districts are going to be available for capture. Each district is going to start off with one of three differn't types of fortifications (infrastructure) that gives certain bonuses to either clone respawn rate, or clone storage space. (dont remember the other one).
Right now there focused on just giving us the conquest side of things, but soon enough im sure will have things like what you mentioned above |

one interesting concept they mentioned is having the clones we make somehow linked to eve. It was hinted that we might supply clones to eve players, and this provides a lot of interesting concepts.
In eve they have a system called PI (planetary interaction). In this an eve player can drop a command center down on a planet along with dozens of other infrastructures and start mining materials and producing things off it. Most of the buildings if i remember correctly can be upgraded to level 5 as well.
So say we own a planet and it has level 5 clone research facilities with level 5 clone production facilities and maybe other instalations that boost the quality of clones we make. The theory is that we could then go ahead and sell these clones to eve players. Maybe "higher quality" clones in this case could be the production of clones with implants already installed. Implants in eve can be VERY expensive to buy and so if dust players are allowed to make clones with implants aready there we could sell them for considerably less (though still expensive) to eve pilots who would otherwise have to buy each implant individually.
This way they spend maybe 100 million on maybe 5 of our clones instead of spending 500 million on 1 set of implants. This to me would be a great way to initially link the two economys because it would provide Dust with real demand from eve side, and thats the big question a lot of eve players have been asking..... the whole "why should i care about dust?" thing. |

DUST clones allow instant transfer of conciousness (as in the starting video for the game), whereas EVE pilots make a clone of themselves at a fixed period in time. Well, rather, they make a clone which allows them to have a capacity for SP. Makes sense in my head.
But capsuleers have been around for years, whereas the merc technologoy has only just been discovered. The clones aren't inter-dependable, and clones for capsuleers are manufactured in space, on the stations.
As for the whole economy thing, WE control the planet. We'll allow EVE players to use PI in lowsec/null. If we don't like the alliance holding sov, or an invading alliance wants to take control of the planet for PI, then we come in. We're of huge importance to the economy, especially taking into account that PI is needed for the manufacture of T2 goods.
soooo where in all of that does it prove dust players cant create eve clones on a planet??? If you want to think of it from a realism stand point, wouldn't it make far more sense for a corp (even an npc one) to build them on planets as i feel it would be far easier to hide then in a space station. Sure ill admit that merc clones are probably differnt to eve clones but theres a simple fix to that. CCP just needs to add an installation that allows us to make both or atleast the eve clones.
Currently in eve there is a limitless number of clones because those clones are seeded by NPC corps. CCP needs only to give production rights of those clones over to dust players and the problem is solved. That creates supply and demand. Of course there should always be stock clones available for purchase (because it would be really dumb if a dust corp is monopolizing all the clones and refuses to sell them to pilots). But Dust mercs should be allowed to sell more advanced ones to players as a conveniant alternative to just buying enhancements themselves.
You might be right about the PI thing but CCP has said a few times that it would make sense if things were like that, but initally they wont be. (found in one of their fanfest videos i believe). This to me seems like a much more simple way for the two economies to interact with each other. A sort of "low risk" strategy for CCP to take because the only other market i see it effecting is the implant market on eve side, but i dont know enough about that to defend it or argue against it. Where as PI effects a TON of things such as POS fuel..... Which if CCP messed up with that would mean a LOT of angry eve pilots. |
