Originally by: Joseph Dreadloch
Originally by: George Wilkes Hill 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?

Originally by: Joseph Dreadloch *snip* You mentioned some of it, its obviously going to have an economical impact through PI resources, but what about Dust514 running off of Aurum?
So? CCP said Dust will be able to stand on it's own, if podpilots don't provide the battlefields (ie. PI isn't worth fighting over or we don't use the optional impact of Dust for sov warfare). How do you think Dusties get their gear if they want to fight on 'npc' maps, that we didn't 'create' for them?
Also, PI needs to cost more as at the moment it's a joke. There is NO interaction in this part of the game at all currently.. something that's bound to change and was envisioned so.
Originally by: Joseph Dreadloch 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?
CCP will have it's own PS3 server.. read the devblog about the latest updates to the servercluster that's located in London. It has currently room and processing capacity for more than just Eve-Online. CCP will have bought and installed that stuff there with an idea how to use it.. the PS3 deal will have been decided some time ago already, at least before they invested into the gear in London.
So, you will interact with Dusties the same way as you interact with other Podpilots.. just on a different 'level'. Contracts and some special chats..
Originally by: Joseph Dreadloch 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?
Don't ask me. Probably even CCP won't know for sure yet. My best bet is you have to be in 'nuke-em-from-orbit-mode' for them to shoot at you. And this 'nuke-em-from-orbit-mode' will probably need some campaign going on right then at the surface. So, if that backyard is worth anything, you won't be alone on grid while d-scanning
Originally by: Joseph Dreadloch 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.
Again.. the tie-ins of Dust are marginal at the start at best. Don't panic yet. Leave that to the wussies

Originally by: Jennifer Starling My guess is that Dust won't affect EVE at all. If we already have huge lag with a fleet in system, how will it be when there's also a few hundred DUST players running around on the planets in that system and shooting at ships?
Or Dusties running around in Jita?
Not going to happen.
So you can see what's going on at those other grids in system or even in another system right now in Eve?
Also who says, that the dusties control the surface-to-orbit doomsday ray? Maybe some other ship on grid (the owner of the PI structures) needs to target and trigger it (like POS guns)?

Originally by: Corelous Alterrian DUST could be cool as long as the DUST players know there place. They work for US and do what we tell them. We got seniority and they better realize there little bitty pea shooters won't stand up against our firepower. *snip*
Their little pea-shooter one-volleyed a moros in orbit.

Quote: The only thing that worries me, is the choice of console, as it is a proprietary platform, how long will it be supported? and how long until we have to switch over to a new one?
If and when the PS4 launches, you just download the client for that and keep on playing
Hehe..
2 more questions Spitfire
1) why PS3 only? Any statement from CCP for this? Anything you could dig up internally or point someone who can comment on it to the forums? Please!! I can't stand those whines anymore.
2) when does Part 2 of Stranded come out? - I wanna know what that smooth ice-cold thing underground is
