That will have to be very big map. Think about it guys. The Erebus alone is approximately 14km long and thus big enough to cast a shadow on Manhattan. The Leviathan that crashed not too long ago on Caldari Prime was also about the same size and was big enough to block out much of the sunlight allowing us to see the nebula that was in space.

By comparison, the terrains that we are in right now are about 5km long and 5km wide (25km^3) and the size of the areas were are fighting in only cover about 1/32th to 1/16th of the actual size of the terrain.

I get the feeling we're going to be sprinting around a lot more than we can imagine if we want to cover at 5km of the Titan alone. And since dropships and LAVs are impractical onboard a Titan, we're in for a marathon run.

I'm pretty sure the idea is they fire you into a spot on the ship. Sub system targeting has been brought up at fanfest before dust was a thing. They had screenshots and stuff but could never figure out how to do it.

Dust will bring that system to eve. You won't explore the ship, youll be launched by missle into the power core. Then all near by doors will go to heavy lockdown. And you've be in this HUGE EPIC titan power core room. That's just 4 maps, and captial ships are huge, they can share the same map enviroments. So each race will get a power core room, and when you take it out the capital ships cap regen is killed for 10 minutes.

You won't be able to blow up a ship the size of a city on foot trust me :P But you can weaken it!

You won't be able to blow up a ship the size of a city on foot trust me :P But you can weaken it! Why so limited in vision here? What you could do would be an awesome gauntlet mode. Instead of having one massive map that is the entirety of the ship, you have a series of maps where you have to cap one map (or section of the ship) to be able to move on to the next. The attackers would only have a set number of clones (the number assigned to the infiltrator that is sent on board: think the PC setup we have now) and they have to capture the ship's bridge to take command of it. This gives two possible scenarios for the attackers. 1 - If they can have enough clones left over to make it to and capture the bridge, you can capture the Titan 2 - As they go through the ship, their battles weaken the ship. If they make it far enough, the EVE allies could destroy it should the boarding party fail. With this you would have a new game mode which would stress strategy from the onset and a great link between DUST and EVE in a singular battle.

Land on the surface of the Titan and hack some sort of emergency airlock hatch. The hack sounds the alarm as we move into the ship. Security on board doesn't stand a chance against our proto gear as we advance room by room to the bridge. The galley is between us and the final room where the captain should be. We are all nervous because we know the cooks are the most deadly out of the crew.
