Topher Mellen wrote:I've played EVE online for two months now. I started because I heard of this FPS that would have the same economy as this intense meta game known as EVE. I loved the idea of using the spaceship markets to fuel the cost of my Boba Fett style dropsuits. Sure I'd lose money playing this way, but it would be my reward for coordinating with my EVE mercenaries to protect my barge in low security space. I loved the idea so much I subscribed to EVE and bought a PS3. Now the game has been released and the beta officially over. Strangely when I began to investigate more closely after getting my bearings in both games I found an impenetrable investment wall between my two characters. Having prototype gear every time I spawn should be my reward for playing both games. When is DUST 514 actually actually going to be a part of the EVE universe, and when can I implement my perfectly fair strategy to have fun in this FPS?
i did the same thing, but i started a week after they announced dust at e3.
it would be totally unfair to let a guy like me bankroll a small crew so they can just attack 10 times a day with clonepacks like it's nothing. it would make the planetary conquest aspect of the game very much a 'pay to win' situation. you could reinforce all your districts with clonepacks and never lose...
so, i feel your pain, and someday there will be an economy, but i would assume it will be a year away. they'll maybe give us a trade window, and a corp hangar soon?
and when they let us transfer isk... the tax will be high :) |

I completely agree with this. If a corp is based entirely in Dust with no EVE connections, yet it has been successful in planetary conquest, it should be able to gather resources from the districts owned and produce products for at least the Dust market.
the district wouldn't have the resources available to make all that stuff. you need resources from all the planet types just to be a well balanced machine. |

Ulysses Knapse wrote:Dust 514 doesn't have an economy. It has an omnipotent vendor that sells whatever you need at unchanging prices, but never has to buy anything from anyone. Where does this omnipotent vendor find materials? How does it create the products? No one ones, not even the almighty space pigeons up there.
why don't they just put in buy prices at 10% less so we can fund our pursuits on the salvage we pull? |
