I really want to know why we don't have a variation of capture the flag.
Capture and Hold based game modes obviously don't work for this game. The maps simply aren't designed well for them at all. There's way too much redlining, and the majority of the player-base is generally too stupid to really understand what is going on, or even put up a decent fight for that matter.
Simple solution is to be a capture the flag variant into DUST. CTF is probably the greatest game mode in any game. It not only takes the most skill/team work, but is generally just a joy to play. |

Capture the bacon, do it now CCP!
Edit: As for why we don't have it yet? It's because CCP hates us |

It's statements like this makes you sound like one big giant a*****e and someone not worth even paying attention too. |

Bluedots can't even capture letters now you expect them to capture a flag and bring it back. |

You don't send them after objectives, you use them as a distraction or meat shield. I use them for that too, but when you solo skirmish you see some ******** ****, i usually expect a bluedot team to hold one objective (while i go cap the other letters). You would think 15 ppl in one spot can hold off a invasion of maybe 8, as i hack 2 letters by myself, orginal letter is gone, the enemy team falls back re hacks the first letter now iam royally ******, 2 bluedots spawn and are cut down right away, iam the only one left (like usual), i wait for them to start the hack boom 2 are dead, as the of the horde comes in all i can think "F@cking useless bluedots i give you one simple task and you **** it up" like zombie they close in for the kill, i bunny hop like crazy switching between my AR and SMG, its no use iam dead.

Anyway, how would CTF fit in with the whole planetary conquest theme of the game?

It doesnt need to be in PC , just a separate mode where skirmish and ambush are.

I didn't mean PC the feature, I meant the fact that in a game where we are all a bunch of immortal guns for hire moving from planet to planet, fighting for the highest bidder - where does shooting each other over a flag fit in? |

CTF for Dust: Capture the power cells
Each team has an MCC, the MCCs are shooting missiles at each other. Each team has laser defense arrays that shoots down incoming missiles, and protects their respective MCCs. The laser defense arrays run out of power, and will need new batteries to power them. Batteries spawn from special manufacturing installations. Capture batteries, and bring them to your team's laser defense array. |

We don't have capture the flag yet because it's part of the suite of features CCP are calling "Gladiator" which are intended for eSports. The removal of the corp battle mechanic has made it pretty important to them to get some kind of arena mode in, for battles without persistent consequences.
Game modes like solo deathmatch and capture the flag don't make sense for them to implement with the current focus on Battles for War, so they'll be developing Battles for Sport to fill this gap.
Reddit AMA with CCP Jian:
Q: When the beta first got going a year or so ago, you guys were talking about plans for an eSports expansion, is that still a possibility, or has it been scrapped?
A: Absolutely, per my answer to another question (above), it is part of a suite of features we call "Gladiator" (eSports). This is both in-game a "sport" in the EVE Universe from a fiction standpoint (and very much a literal application of "Gladiator" in the Roman sense), and in the real world, eSports. We are working through the particulars, this is a very important feature for us. It is a way to facilitate custom matches and game modes like solo deathmatch and CTF, which don't make sense in the context of "Battles for War", Gladiator is what we contextualize as "Battles for Sport". |
