This being said. When will us DUST'ers get some actual influence over the EVE universe. I dont care about what gun is nerfd or buffed or what new item is becoming available.

So far, nothing has really changed in DUST. Just superficial things like items, graphics, and lighting... i dont care about those because i play a game for the experience. And right now there isnt much to enjoy in DUST.

Want to know why i started DUST in the first place? No? Well im gonna tell you anyways.
Did the trial in EVE, and was blown up while flying the beginner frigate by some random jackoff who probably spent his whole life in EVE just to type "lol noob". At the time i thought nothing of it, you get infinite amounts of them and i wasnt carrying anything. But after more play time, i remembered that event and it wasnt because i lost a ship... it was the principle. Like, really you are going to blow me up after 45 minutes of just starting out and tell me im a noob as if there was some way i couldve beat you.

So instead of wasting two or three years paying a stupid subscription only to log in once every few weeks to que up skills. Id rather play a F2P that lets me control a huge ass cannon that can destroy any ship within its range... This is even fair play if you think about it. Dont want to die, pay the toll or gtf back where you came from.... and even if you pay i will probably kill you anyways cause im edgy like that.

This is also why majority of the EVE players dont like us. They are scared of the fact that one day we may actually be able to do something like this and dont like the thought of being blown up by someone using a remote controller.

Established EVE players have it easy. They dont really have to worry about anything, and most likely have enough isk to buy whatever ship they lost fully furnished 100 times over.... i want to take that luxury away.

I dream on that day.... 20,000 aur or 20,000,000 isk to destroy one of that arrogant EvE pilots.. I'll pay 20,000 aur just for the satisfaction...will be the best cash i had ever spend in a F2P game.

Never the whiny neckbeards would throw a hissy fit if consolers were able to on a free game knock down their years long built sandcastles. Lets face it even the nullsec queens are a bunch of carebears in this regard.

Dust mercs are not going to knock down sandcastles. Dust mercs will merely be a tool for Eve pilots to knock down sandcastles of other Eve pilots, which is what already happens.

I find it surprising that you presume to know much about Eve, or about how its players feel. Like you, they'll care about Dust once it starts affecting them.

CCP's strategy for Dust, from the beginning, was to make Dust viable as a stand alone game before linking it strongly to Eve. Fixing aiming, fixing performance, putting in basic Dust features is ongoing and necessary. This is their development solution to the chicken and egg problem. Their marketing department has a different strategy.

Also, I don't see what's so special about eve regarding your lost newbie ship scenario. Lots of games have places you can go and die if you're determined to go there and die. Like Eve, they also have big warning signs.

4.) now you have a kill order- fleet up with some people and go take that A-O down buddy
5.) dust is not nearly large enough to strike the sky- even if we could- People in EVE would just avoid New EDEN unless there was some reason to go there- CCP is going to have to make New Eden a very profitable place to be- and to be honest there are places like JITA, HEK and BRUTOR TRIBE, that will always have a pull on the market and those places could effectively shut New eden down- a few thousand MERCS has nothing on the JITA market-

AND this is why that trailer, the one that shows dusters firing from the planet to eve ships WON'T HAPPEN.

And boarding eve ships to destroy them? can you imagine how the forums over on eve side would QQ. lol

Of course those things will happen, but only when Eve pilots are bombarding planets, placing them at risk, or when Dust mercs are directed to board something. Also, boarding ships probably won't happen, boarding stations and such, probably will happen.
