This reflects one of the fundamental extant flaws in DUST that separates it from PvP in EVE. My fellow capsuleers know the feeling of seeing a name on your overview flash red. That increase in heart rate, because now, suddenly, your ship is on the line, and dammit you may have spent hours earning the isk to buy and fit that ship.
In DUST...meh. Dying has no significance. Oh, look, another lost clone and a few thousand isk (most expensive dropsuits are in the 500k area, right?) that I'm going to earn back at the end of this fight. In the case of the most absolutely expensive losses you're looking at earning back the isk by doing ten more matches of exactly what you're doing already.
In short, there is no sense of danger to PvP right now. I really hope that changes some day. |

I have lost 750m isk in 20 hours of EVE. it really isnt possible to do that in Dust.
as for running proto 24/7? i bet that will change once the market opens up, people who make the proto suits will need to charge a premium and up the price. Course, we might also see advance stuff really jump up in price as it is close to as good as proto, but easier to skill into
And I've lost Tengus to gate camps. 700m isk lost in twenty minutes because I couldn't be arsed to get someone to scout for me.Sure, losing a ship doesn't get me quite as excited as it did back when I thought a T1 fit Vexor was expensive, but it's always more exciting than in DUST, where PvP allows you to literally print money. PvP should be an isk sink, not an isk source. |
