If you're curious, they're called "Skyfire Batteries".

I'm sure that will eventually be an objective.

To be honest, it just seems like a large-scale version of the current skirmishes to me.

More game modes? No, sorry.

It's not that no one wants to be able to shoot at EVE ships, it's that we already know shooting at EVE ships is going to be a thing, and all you're doing is presenting a gimmicky way to go about it that is almost certainly inferior to what CCP already has in mind.

I like this idea, but I also don't like it. In Dust it takes me like 1 minute to refit after I die. In EVE it takes me like a couple hours to refit when I die. And then I gotta hope what I want is in stock or to Jita I go (Flying from Null to Jita and back is a pain, I try to keep it like once every couple weeks).

Firing at ships is cool, but its also a pain, how would you do it? If a ship enters the system the Dust mercs are allowed to spawn on a map, run to the gun and start firing? What if the ship cloaks or just warps out.

I could see this in siege warfare, someone sieges your POS and you load up and start firing the guns at Titans, Supers and Dreads, but then the enemy can land kill your Dusties and start firing the cannon at your POS.

Yea before shooting ships in EVE happens I want to see EVE players be able to do massive damage on a untold scale to Dust, I've seen people lose like 2 million protosuits and QQ, but thats nothing to losing a 3 billion Tengu.

There would have to be a way to balance this, no nukes like CoD, but the OBs now seem pretty sad compared to what EVE ships are capable of.

CCP has been saying that DUST will be able to shoot back at EVE players. I think it could fit into a game mode. Imagine this. Some districts will come with large anti-space installations(or AS for short). Once a space battle is detected overhead, the guns begin to charge.

There will be three tiers of AS guns. Batteries of smaller blaster turrets that fire in volleys, can attack multiple targets, take 5 min to charge, and deal a small amount of damage per volley. There will be installations of 2 rocket turrets that launch 4 rockets each and can attack 2 targets and take 7 min to charge. Then, there is the mother of all AS turrets, a huge railgun installation the size of a battlecruiser, which fires one shot at one target but deals massive damage and takes 10 mins to charge.

Once they begin to charge, a corp can choose to try and shut down the installation to keep it from firing. This can be from a contract from one of the factions fighting in space or of their own accord(for instance, if they are allied with the pilots about to be fired upon). The attackers will have to fight their way into the control room where they must hack the central mainframe. Since the hack will take about 1 minute without skills, the console is not automatically unhacked, but can be slowly unchacked by defenders. If the guns are fully charged, the match is over and the ceo or whoever the ceo picks as next in command is able to select targets for the weapon and fire. Just saw a few possible bugs to this please add to this but don't rage, this can and will be edited

If you make a game like this where we can shoot at the eve ships than the eve ships should be able to shoot down on the planet indiscrimintly whenever they pass by a planet that mercs are fighting on



ps how many times are you going to post the same topic over and over again nobody with the exception of you likes this idea
