I've fielded Orbital Support for my corporation in Faction Warfare but it's rather difficult with the set-up time involved as well as outside influence. I did this solely because I liked having the option and it's an adrenaline rush for me as a player to have to focus on Dust/Eve at the same time but given that there's no reward for it besides a warm fuzzy feeling in the gut I doubt anyone would do it other than for the sake of supporting the Dust mercs. Which, as we all know, is a bit of a stretch when you're risking a 2,000,000 ISK investment.
The set-up time is significant, the 2 million isk is not.
Also, this:
Quote:Hell, I was told by a member of my former alliance that EVE strikes were worthless because there was the risk I might not hit the button fast enough, so the WarBarge strikes were better.
Might not be the same situation for corp battles, however, since you have a day to get into position and the eve pilot can be on voice chat with the dust guys. If I have to hide in a corp battle, run to my computer, uncloak, wait 30 seconds, then tell my squad leader to place the strike, maybe not so worth it though. |

If you ask me, A qualifies as bad design as well (also against moon goo in Eve if you're wondering).
Primary sources of income in Dust should be bottom up, NOT top down.
The point of "bottom-up" income generation model in Eve is that holding space allows members to generate income, rather than holding space allowing centralized, passive income sources (moons). In Dust, we have centralized passive income generation from districts, but if you wanted a bottom-up model, what would you replace it with? You would need to propose some model where holding space allows members to generate better income directly (better than instant battles) so that the planets are still a valuable thing to control, but aren't passive income generators. There's nothing however to replace it with, save introduction of PVE content that is exclusive for district owners. It just doesn't make sense. Notice that in the last month, CCP increased income generation from districts, they didn't decrease it. |
