Okay, so the instant battles are supposedly hi-sec, so it makes sense that those should be NPC corps contracting us mercs.
Faction warfare contracts of course come from the respective factions.
My main point is that Planetary Conquest should not be controlled by Dust corps. In low-sec the territory should be held by Eve corporations, similarly to how Faction Warfare is done. When an Eve corp wants to attack another Eve corp's territory, they put up however much isk they want to Dust corps to help lower the flipping conditions Eve side.
To give the Eve guys a way to stop just any old corp taking their isk even if they're rubbish and won't help at all give Dust corps employment histories/ratings that are dependent upon success in their contracts. Also make it so that Eve corps can optionally specify individual Dust corps to contract to.
I'm sure people with more insight into Eve lore and mechanics can expand on this further or give some other points of view but it just makes sense that if we're supposed to be mercenaries, we are hired by people who own land - mercs don't own land themselves! |

Okay good points all round and makes me think more on this... Maybe dust ownership of districts should be a null sec thing.
Have Eve control our low sec territory like i suggest but in order to 'incentivise' eve players to actually use dust corps, make the effects dust can have greater. Also make it so that if an attacker and/or defender doesn't put any cash up for dusties, the battles get put up as a public mercenary battle and a standard amount of isk is charged. That way eve is affected whether they like it or not. |

Also since ISK is worth more in Dust so not only would we see our FPS player base demanding ridiculous amounts of any operations they go on.
What EVE player would listen to the outrageous demands of a Dust Merc unless that merc understood some sort of business strategy.
Dust corps wouldn't be demanding anything. Eve corps put out a contract with a saw offer and any dust corp that meets the rating requirement can take the contract. If the eve corp puts too low a rate and too high requirement out, no one will take the contract and the eve corp risks it going to public entry. |

Null sec may years away with the current plan but this could bring it forward massively.
Also, i think this might be the easiest way to get eve players to care about dust - force it upon them. Some of them might not like it at first but make the process as simple as setting an isk payout and rating requirement (only 2 clicks) and it won't be much of a burden at all. Once they realise that not doing this could result in flipping taking 50% longer, the cost of of not caring becomes pretty significant. |

Ooh, could even make it lore - after Empress Jamyl loses control of molden heath to the new clones, the amarr completely abandon it and its security status is removed so all have free reign.
Though Im not sure what line of impact changing a whole region to null might have on eve, Im told no one cared for molden heath before anyway. |

Putting control of one games content in the hands of another games player base is a horrible idea, I dont care that they are set in the same universe
You've misunderstood - I'm not saying anyone will be in control of anyone else's content - I'm suggesting forcibly linking the two games so Eve players can't do their plexing/sov stuff without involving the Dust side too (whether they like it or not). It'd be like faction warfare but instead of the factions hiring us, it'd be actual Eve corps. |
