I'm going to play a different game and sign into Dust when we have a PC battle. Check that my MD is broken so it's only decent in pub matches against people running cheap suits to save up for PC battles.

This is a dilemma. I love this game and I want to see it succeed, but I can't sustain grinding 15-20 hours a week for SP. I certainly won't grind for that SP if its in a starter suit.

Change the payouts for the love of god.

First: Dust is supposed to be an MMOFPS grinding game and CCP wanted it to have a steep learning curve.
If you don't want to farm SP you can play any other FPS game and have fun.

Second and Last: Now that DUST is part of New Eden some rules/behaviours from EVE ONLINE have been applied to this game (Awoxing etc)

I will list some of them below.Replace words like "Fly" or "Ship" to dropsuits/fitiings(You get the point)

Never fly something (or with something in the cargo) you can't afford to lose. Yes, not even in highsec.

Scamming and unethical behaviour some would consider griefing is not only allowed, it is encouraged and rewarded by the game mechanics.

If you lose stuff, it's almost always your fault. Really, only yours.

There is no such thing as "a fair fight" or "an unfair fight". There's only "a fight". Circumstances are irrelevant.

Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.

Just because you can fly something doesn't mean you should.

You lost me when you started comparing this game to Eve. While the games are tied together there is nothing really similar between the two. Besides the clone aspect.

You can go mine an asteroid in high sec for hours each day for weeks on end with no problems. You could choose to never leave the station and do nothing but trade on the market. You can earn stacks of ISK without really even needing a ship.

Could you imagine getting paid in EVE for sitting in station just because you joined a fleet and they completed a mission? I know the dynamics don't work that way, but it's the best I can come up with this very moment.

Eve doesn't reward not participating. You could sit in station and do nothing, but that's all you'll get is passive SP.

You could sit in station and do nothing, but that's all you'll get is passive SP. This game is only 1 month old and you think all these above you mention will not be included in future patches? CCP said it will include PvE matches with drones. "Free ISK" The 2 markets will merge and you can sent items and isk to other characters.This will greatly affect the Planetary Conquest and the 2 sides will throw a lot of money so they will not lose sovereignty. When then market merges you will sit hours on market just to see where is cheaper and where is more expensive so basically you sit on your station and earn ISK All these above cannot be completed within a month so this game has potential and future and don't expect all these to be implemented within a month.Most FPS in ps3 didn't last this long
