Though I like the idea of Dust Univ. having a planet I feel you have done your statement in the wrong way. We agree you should have a planet, as by you stating the community agrees you should. But we did not vote on which planet you get. There are going to be a finite number of planets at the beginning of the build. If there were tons of planets out there then have at it. Right now there are quite a few corps wanting planets so what your saying is we should wait not you.

WHat are the tactical advantages to this planet? If there are any should we really waste that tactical advantage on a school? Why do you want this specific planet? You didn't wait for PC to be deployed and then see which planet no one really wants. You just proclaimed a planet and expected all of us to just let you have. Yes I know you will defend and retake, yada, yada, yada. How many districts are on this planet? Should you not take the planet with the least amount of districts as to not be affecting our non neutral corps PC ambitions. Also why do you need a whole planet. Can you not do the teaching that needs to be done with one district?

To me it sounds like your saying this is where we are going to be and deal with it. That doesn't sound neutral. Neutral would be we will see which planet holds the least tactical advantage and has the least districts as to not get in the way of the real game since we are not really playing PC we are just showing people the ropes.

Maybe we can make some arrangement like renting space... etc. If not see you on the battlefield. Why would a kaiju like IMPS want Hedalo(*cough)..er... Dojo III? You guys would be far better served by a midpocket like the one in Bosena and Oddelulf.

AB and MWD in the same fit? Overkill for Sisi don't you think? The AB was a 10MN, while the MWD was a 1MN. The MWD was slightly faster, but only a bit. I had slapped the AB on for lulz and then forgot to take it off because I was so excited about finding the districts. If I'd been on TQ, I'd have likely kept the AB. It has the benefit of not increasing signature radius and working while scrammed.

Just curious. I prefer my Godzilla metaphors, personally.

This was discussed at length on the map thread, starting here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=678456#post678456 Basically, Dojo III was the least valuable planet we could find in a distant, dead-end pocket system. We looked at Hrober V, which only had 5 districts, but it also had three moons which made it potentially very valuable to alliances with EVE-side support. It was also in a system with a 10 district planet. It is also worth noting that Dust-Uni felt that they needed at least four "battle" districts with RTs set to different time zones to support their student body and at least three districts to provide enough clones to permit them to fight as often as possible. To my mind, with 12 districts on Dojo III, we're talking about 2-3 "campus" districts per college just to keep them in clones. If we get one other school, that fills up the planet.

He came into IRC and called us all a word that the forums won't let me use. Are there logs? I want to see if it was just QQ or if I should really send him a nice apology gift.

Personally, I had hoped to see Dust Uni work a little more diplomatically on this, because in the absence of another school, I thought it made a lot of sense to try and get some other "adjunct professor" corps on the planet. Maybe that ship has sailed, but I think it would be helpful to have some of the kaiju corps (who support our shared mission) on planet as another source of skilled fighters. I mean, sure, we can fight the DU guys in our ways, but it would be nice to have some variety. To my mind, the thing that is essential is that we achieve a coalition that polices the campus vs. battle district thing, makes sure that the battle districts are constantly changing hands... and holds the colleges accountable for performing their mission.

We called dibs on everything before dibs was even a word. I'll prob be out of town on bidnass in may, but I expect you will all do the right thing and leave my planets unoccupied until I return in June. If not, come July there will be serious repercussions for your treachery. You are welcome to the planets you claimed in the Deklein region since you claimed them before Goonswarm got there.

Its hard to expect anything more from Dust Uni. Actually, EVE University graduates competent pilots in many senses. However, PVP (especially good PVP) is more of a graduate program than undergraduate. Without the stuff that EVEU teaches, many pilots couldn't even afford to PVP.

I know that the MSF would be interested in defense contracts if Dust Uni has the ISK :) The problem with the idea of defense contracts is: A) Dust Uni is a charity (hard up for cash). B) Dust 514 won't let them pay you.

If IE wants it why not take a different one? The main reason that it was selected is that it appears to be the LEAST valuable planet/system in the region that is defensible and has enough districts to support near-constant combat.

A relatively small district count, of which DUNI is only looking to hold a small fraction. The remainder being either battle zones or held by other corps that have signed on to support the mission.
