You missed this: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=70341&find=unread

How long do you plan on keeping Planetary Conquest as how you've described it at the Fanfest presentation? Okay, that's not so clear. Will there be lots of minor tweaks and changes to the system after you let us see how much we can 'break' it? I was just wondering, 'cause I had the intention of creating a page on PC on wiki.dust514.info but if this upcoming version of PC is a small step or a 'test' release which could be modified depending on how we react to it, should I wait a few weeks after Uprising to start compiling information that won't be changed in the long-term?

I'm definitely not exploiting a mod thread to gain publicity for our wiki either.

Can you give us a some detail on what this "personal/corporation wallet history" contains?

Good to see the devs posting again.

I would only ask if they intend to expand it to other regions soon enough.

will the Eve to Dust Corp mails be working??

(first) you missed a bunch of speculations on uprising. Many questions being asked by the dust players.

I would only ask if they intend to expand it to other regions soon enough.

Just a quick question, do you envision sometime in the future planetary conquest becoming a more openworld affair? With a need to keep a close eye on borders for fear of intruders?

Also, congratulations on keeping your shoes on for so long.

Foxfour, What will be coming to Dust on May 6th and what will we get on May 14th? It is all very confusing and so far no official word from any dev.

I had a great time watching your presentation and hopefully i will be able to meet you next year at fanfest.

Thank you

second this. alone is molden heath confirmed? seemed like it from fanfest but we need to be sure.

in PC will there be additional benefits if 1 corp/alliance holds all the planets/districts in a system.

Any idea when the patch notes will be released? Or the Dev blog about what's happening in detail with our asset's?

But it would be very easy to change it.

Please, Who coined the term penetration game play?

How long before Shanghai operations begin to wind down?

Soxy!!! Your back! Hi. I liked nullabors story during the dust keynote, and from the sounds of it I missed something hood during the eve keynote, I'll have to go watch it now.

This is going to be a chicken and the egg situation, i know alot of my alliance mates have tried dust and are waiting for it to affect 0,0

I'm pretty sure that this was during the CCP Presents keynote.

My understanding is that you buy clones WHEN you attack for PC. I'm pretty sure he meant to say that PC is on the 14th.

Also, I thought there was a maps devblog that has been promised for a long time that CCP LogicLoop said he put in the pipe quite a while back...?

So then go "poke" the person responsible.

Patch notes are needed, but what is completely frustrating is the lack of the list and stats on items, weapons, and suits that was promised to us.

You played enough Eve to know how theory crafting works. So go and take that knowledge and impart upon that person who is in sufficient power as to get things done, that we need that info ASAP.

Those of us with big plans, need to start planning.

I appreciate you being on to answer for your department, I just wish that more of the devs were willing to do the same for their stuff.

BTW, the PC presentation was very informative and clear, you did a great job.

That's what I'm trying to confirm.

Do we attack planets on the 6th or the 14th?

I'm glad to hear that new regions can be opened up without waiting for a major release.

What if we wind up with a miniature Blue Donut (MH is kinda donut-shaped), or even a slug fest- but only between a small number of corps/alliances?

How rarified does PC have to get (how small of a number of different alliances holding districts) before we see new regions?

Thank you for working on it and responding. I can understand how things can be missed, I'm sure it was hectic just preparing for the presentations at fanfest.

Also Very Well done on the planetary conquest keynote and QA.

Simple question:

Corps taxes and Corps asset management? Any plan for uprising?

As a Dust CEO, it is very hard to manage our Corps without any Corp's tool. Trading asset from player to corps and corps to players, managing income and roles, all good stuff and could keep our players motivated and structured.

best,

Hey Foxfour, great to meet with you and drink with you at Fanfest. I still owe you 2 beers for losing that bet (you can collect them next year) and my wife was surprising cheerful that she got to talk about the pros/cons of python code!

Anyway, I have some questions, so here they are:

1) So since we can attack districts that belong to corps in our alliance. How do the OBs work in those cases, since the only rule you've told us is that anyone in the alliance can provide OBs.

Will they essentially be able to fire for both sides?


2) You mentioned during your PC talk that the loot chance to drop is 50% (just like eve). Does this apply to every suit, vehicle and everything fit on them (mods, weapons, equipment, grenades etc.) ? Because that is A LOT of loot.

How will the loot be shared amongst the mercs in battle?

Since you're working on mail I need to ask if this is or will be fixed.

With the neocom, for contacts and corp search, when you select a text box to bring up the keyboard for entry, you press X.
For mail however, pressing X SENDS, which is a bit annoying if you accidentally hit it thinking it'll bring up the keyboard, and end up sending a blank message. How simple would it be to just flip what the X and Square buttons do? Or make the whole thing consistent across the game so only Square brings up the keyboard. (Though if you did that, I'd still like send be moved to a button box at the bottom of the message, or set to the triangle button instead of X.)

(Yeah, the chat screen also uses Square that way, but since X doesn't do anything there unless you have it on the lists, it's less of an issue.)

I just wanted to say congratulations to the whole CCP staff for yet another awesome Fanfest (I just watched the stream) and I really hope you all had a blast, you really do deserve it.

I've been playing DUST for almost a year now, and it's been great to watch the progress, and seeing how true to your vision you've stayed is inspiring for me. It was good seeing you all up on stage, smiling and doing what you love to do; bringing us the coolest experiences in gaming, day after day.

Take it easy everyone, watch those hangovers. One day I hope to meet you all and toss a few back, but for now I'll just live vicariously

Here's to another 10 amazing years CCP, and 1000 more to come.

I kinda want to look at that document.

The following regions are involved in FW so are removed:

• Devoid
• The Bleak Lands
• The Citadel
• Black Rise
• Essence
• Verge Vendor
• Placid
• Heimatar
• Metropolis

The following regions are removed because they are null sec:

• Wicked Creek
• Venal
• Vale of the Silent
• Tribute
• Tenerifis
• Tenal
• Syndicate
• Stain
• The Spire
• Scalding Pass
• Querious
• Pure Blind
• Providence
• Parrigen Falls
• Period Basis
• Paragon Soul
• Outer Ring
• Outer Passage
• Omist
• Oasa
• Malpais
• The Kalevala Expanse
• Insmother
• Impass
• Immensea
• Great Wildlands
• Geminate
• Fountain
• Fethabolis
• Fade
• Etherium Reach
• Esoteria
• Detorid
• Deklein
• Curse
• Cobalt Edge
• Cloud Ring
• Catch
• Cache
• Branch

Removed due to mostly being high security:

• Kador
• The Forge
• Everyshore
• Tash-Murkon
• Domain - Also just ungodly big.
• Lonetrek - What low security space it does have is broken up by high security
• Sing Laison
• Kor-Azor
• Derelik
• Genesis - Actually is more low security space, but it is all broken apart by high security pockets.

To many temperate planets:

• Metropolis - Double the number of worlds we wanted, half of it is high security, and it is just a REALLY large region
• Khanid
• Derelik - This was almost removed for high security space, but the low security stuff is basically all group together so it would work.
• Arridia

This left us with two regions:

• Molden Heath: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Molden_Heath#sec
• Solitude: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Solitude#sec

Comparing the two of those left us with Molden Heath for the following reasons:

• There is less high security space breaking things up; the three low security systems in Solitude shown at the bottom of the Dotlan map don't even have temperate planets.
• Molden Heath has more varying stratigic value with systems hidden away behind other systems with no temperate planets. Attrition means those will be harder to take.
• Molden heath is cleaner and easier for us to show on the new infographic map. Something to consider when it is the first and only region out the gate and the one that will be the most viewed.
• Molden Heath is also more active from the EVE side of things.

Analysis? I just looked at all the regions and picked Molden Heath. Much less work that way.

Since you are the guy working on corp mails, you seem to be the best person to ask....

Will the Dust side mail send window be fixed? I've sent MANY blank messages on mistake.

Hey man, want to say community loves you, also I know this might be little unrelated but I don't think I heard anything from fanfest about it. My question is: when are the rts elements going to be introduced? or are you guys still doing that? i.e. turret placement and mcc piloting?

oh wow you're actually responding, so you work on PC right? well I think ISK needs to be divided at the end of a PC match based on WP not everyone getting the same amount of ISK, it punishes offensive players.

But that's not fair, if I contribute more I should get more! do you not see that? or are you blind foxfour?

@FoxFour will clones be able to attack from two districts?

LMAO, oh, this is hilarious......by the way, how many socks did you receive?

yes, yes you do

But what I meant though, would I be able to move say, 70 clones from one district and 70 from an adjacent one simultaneously?

Also, districts are locked after battle? Can they be reinforced with clones immediately from other districts, kinda like moving pieces after a turn of Risk?

So when we buy a pack of clones, will we get to choose exactly where we want them? Or will the placement be random?

So, provided you have the clones, you could fight back to back battles for a district to whittle down the defender?

Was there any information about changing one's homesystem in the eve universe?

How long are battles supposed to last? Can you initiate another attack while one attack is happening? In other words, are we likely to see corp directors sitting outside of a battle until they decide whether to launch a follow-up attack, and then launching it before the current battle is finished?
