OK for all the small corps that are claiming such a hard idea to take part into Planetary Conquest, I am actually with CCP on their new ideas. All the smaller corps that are out there we can assume are playing this game for the short term and to play it just as a FPS and not a game that's implemented with a Massive RPG Online via EVE Online.
I do understand some of the previous statements by nothing how bigger corporations/alliances get richer and the weaker corps do anything in their power just to get a foothold within the mass universe of EVE. That cast aside, you have to look at this as the same way CCP is looking at it. This game is designed to envelop EVE players to contract DUST mercenaries in the long run to do their dirty work, without us; EVE pilots won't be able to claim parts of space and without EVE pilots; CCP would be stuck at a grudge where they turned a intervention back into any ole' regular FPS. The concepts behind this game are on a magnitude that not a lot of FPS players understand because they have no ideology of how EVE Online even interacts within itself much less within DUST also.
EVE Online is a game built around the ideas of sovereignty and warfare. With this knowledge, the same ideas are brought into the game we call DUST 514. As FPS players flood the gates of the SIngularity servers to get their name known amongst the broad spectrum of players, corporations get involved in the same manner as the corporations on EVE. I am sure everyone has heard the saying, "If you can't beat them, join them." That statement alone is a stronghold of the interactions of corps as Planetary Conquests starts unfolding. In all honesty, no corporation knows 100% what to expect upon the May 6th launch, were all playing by ear at this point, and can only wait for the day to come to make our own corporations shine. Furthermore, some of the bigger corporations have a purpose, whether in numbers from strictly massive recruiting or the corp was designed by EVE pilots to come into DUST to help expedite their own necessities in EVE. Either way, smaller corps (and I am not saying I am not a fan of the little guy in the business world, cause every person/group has a fair chance in any goal they seek) are going to have to accept this game as an integrated FPS, and not a strict FPS.
In other terms; I know there's lots of players that have hibernated to DUST from Call of Duty, Battlefield or even Halo; just to name a few. That's great, their use to having some spectrum of gun game somewhere buried in their minds that they get to unleash on this game. However, imagine a team on Call of Duty for example or a 'clan' I believe is what they were called, playing games to get their 'clan' known within the online servers, but never take their true skills to a pro level or take their teams to GameBattles to really put their name to the test against players/teams that have been playing together for sometime and know more fundamentals of teamwork and how to cope with change at any given time. If you ever watch OpTiC play for example, they know the other teams moves before they make them, they know anything and everything about the game they are playing and use that to their advantage. Same ideology goes with this game. The bigger corporations who have corps in EVE, placed some players in DUST to manage corps, manage alliances, manage every aspect of the DUST world while EVE pilots get ready for anything CCP has to throw at either side of the table. So for smaller corporations to say that they are at an disadvantage, yes they are but obviously you can't even begin to imagine the ambitions of the bigger corps that are on this game.
I don't mean offense to smaller corps, but I have already been seeing smaller corps merging with bigger corporations already to get ready for Planetary Conquest.... just throwing that up in the air for whomever is willing to catch it and obtain that knowledge.
Throughout the Closed Beta to even the Open Beta, we have seen corps come and go with still a few corps from Closed Beta rocking out everything they have against one another to take that #1 spot in Dust. Corps will remain to come and go as friendships are made and enemies are made in retrospect. It's the game we envelop ourselves into, take it for what it is, or don't judge it to begin with without previous knowledge on why everything works the way it does.
Hope this is helpful to a lot of people

How far and what are you willing to sacrifice to be at the top? You want to hold on to your 20 man corp with 5 active members so be it but I say show me the drive to succeed. I started my corp with 4 people 32 days ago I have 90+ members now and 30+ active daily. I feel I have more right than older corps to say if you want it go for it. You smaller corps WILL fail if you don't get your act together if my corp wasn't as big as it is u better believe I would have merged to be a force in PC. Let go of your pride and show the bigger guys whose boss.
Very well said yourself NIKIA; in order to truly grasp the idea of Planetary Conquest, smaller corps are going to have to sacrifice some things here and there to foot your own foot down in the long run. NIKIA's corp is a prime example of younger corps writing their own chapter in this book. Great corp to play cause we know it's going to be a challenge, as far as Planetary Conquest; I really look forward to their success in it cause I know a lot of players out of Hellstorm respect III Omens with the upmost respect. So it can be done, everyone just has to take that extra leap of faith or cross a line here and there to truly expose yourself and your corporation.

@Rigor: I understand your aggression to pub matches, if you will; and I understand how the goals of EVE are not shown in pub matches. As such implementation has not been a direct cause/effect of EVE pilots, I personally don't think you can be barking up that tree. You see a few guys on the enemy team you don't want any part of... leave or run free gear. Recently my whole corp has been running BPO's or something similar to MLT or low base cost gear in order to start preserving our assets for Planetary Conquest. I am not saying that the little corps have no chance, as NIKIA noted two comments below it, it's the smaller guys responsibility to do something about it if their current goals are not met; via: recruiting, merging or what have you. I know everyone is counting the days down to see how everything is going to be fully implemented, it's the talk of DUST right now and we all know it. I just know that a lot of sacrifices will have to be made in order for some CEOs to get their foot in the door for Planetary Conquest. |
