C Saunders Tech Guard General Tso's Alliance 361	Posted - 2013.07.07 19:11:00 - [1] - Quote Seriously with planetary conquest and all that we should have a way to create and join alliances within dust. Its stupid how you need a player from another game to deal with alliances.

Regarding creating alliances, I think I remember hearing that creating a new alliance in EVE costs 1 billion ISK, so with no direct ISK equivalency it would be difficult to implement that into Dust. I do hope that those abilities come soon, maybe even in the update this week (I heard there's some PC stuff). Really!? It costs isk to just offically anounce that your buddies with some other corp. Thats downright stupid. Seriously though if CCP want PC to become a big thing then they need to replicate real diplomacy. By that I mean alliances, paying another corp to attack your enemy, etc. Having something an in-game mechanic like alliances depend on another game on a different platform is a flawed idea and will only hold back the games potential.

I know they have some significance in EVE, but I'm not sure what they'd do with respect to team deathmatches. Planetary Conquest, having an alliance with a powerful corp thats sitting right next to your districts will save you quite a bit.
C Saunders Tech Guard General Tso's Alliance 369	Posted - 2013.07.08 09:25:00 - [5] - Quote Theres a bunch of corps that want to form alliances but they cant, which is really holding the progression of planetary conquest back.

Until then however one could hire someone EVE side to create it for you and hand over the alliance to you. However, I think another problem that is also not fixed yet is the maintenance fee for the alliance since alliances also are EVE side it will require you to have a corp wallet that can be linked to that fee. But like others mentioned I think the biggest problem is that 1b ISK in DUST is not the same as 1b ISK in EVE, and not sure if CCP should be the one that sets that conversion rate or not... But I'd approve of them fixing it bc then maybe we can start moving ISK between EVE and DUST... at which point many wouldn't have to bother about fitting costs any longer... Its risky depending on an EVE player you dont know. Also why cant dust players make alliances free of charge? Its stupid.

We are working on adding some features for corporation management though for things like roles. I apprieciate your response and thank you for not ignoring this thread. Surely though it wouldn't take much though to just implament something much like the way you create a corp. Instead of paying a huge amount like in EVE have a small amount payed like 10 mil then also have skills like you do for corps. Your already half the way there with the alliance chat and the game able to recognise alliances.

Like I said maybe relate it to skills? 1mil SP per corp in an alliance?
C Saunders Tech Guard General Tso's Alliance 395	Posted - 2013.07.09 22:40:00 - [9] - Quote I'm pretty sure CCP could figure something out, come to think of it. The answeres dead simple. Dust players can make dust alliances. Dust alliances are only valid in dust.
