I'll admit my knowledge of Dust514 is limited at best, since I do not own a console and don't care to. I haven't been following its development very closely and I can't really find much info about how its going to affect EVE.
What I do know is later this year when Dust514 goes into Beta, there is going to be a brand new part of the New Eden universe that I do not have access to (unless I want to spend $400), and that this new part is going to affect me somehow while I continue playing the game I've been playing for several years now on my PC.
Can someone tell me how this will affect your average EVE player?

Well in the E3 video a planetary installation one shotted a dread. Other than that not entirely sure.
Yeah other than that, and that EVE players will be hiring the Dust mercs... I don't know either. I'm just concerned about how this will alter the game I've invested 3 years in.

What are your concerns?
That Dusties can go out on a rampage and kill any PI installation they like in the universe? Afaik, they need us to hire them.. so other podpilots would need to want to burn your soil for that to happen.
That PI stuff get's more expensive? Needed to happen anyway, otherwise no podpilot will fork out the cost that are involved with the dust-action.
That they can shoot your ship in orbit? Probably part of real-time-campaigns down the road.. stay away from planets that are fought over? Don't nuke from orbit if you can't take the heat?
That there might be console kiddies in your corp? So what? As long as they can't spam local, which is a bad implemented social/intel tool anyway..
So, what are your angsts? What are you afraid of?
You mentioned some of it, its obviously going to have an economical impact through PI resources, but what about Dust514 running off of Aurum?
How will I be forced to interact with Sony if I want to interact with Dust514 players? I mean some sort of sever would have to be shared between CCP and Sony in order for Capsuleers and Dusters to interact right?
Would I have to be shooting Dust514 players first in order for them to shoot back like you said? What if I were roaming low/nullsec and sitting at a planet while D-Scanning and suddenly I get hammered by an orbital railgun or something?
I'm just speculating here (same as you), but I'm mostly afraid of the unknown here because I'm going to have 0 control over something that's going to alter the game I play.

We will be providing more information on DUST 514 in the coming months - including the specifics on EVE/DUST link - but here is a dev blog to get you started.
Yeah I've read it.. its just super vague. Its unsettling that Dust514 is supposed to launch in less than a year and that devblog sums up the extent of what we know about how EVE is going to be affected.

Originally by: Peter XZ This threads funny, the game's a WHOLE YEAR from launch , and some want ALL the Info about it, and they want it NOW!
C'mon guys, grow up.
Less than a year with beta in 6 months. I just want to know how its going to change EVE, I couldn't care less about the game itself.

So I gather the answer to my original question is "we don't know yet", how comforting.
