I want to read more about the overall objective of Dust. It feels like this is the low level operations of the eve universe. Instead of taking planets of the star system you fight for the section of the planet. I guess I just want to know what benefit there is to eve player to have the dust players fight for tiny sections of the huge planets they usually deal with. I don't really know enough about eve I guess. It's about building a corporation and making money but it doesn't seem like Dust players will be trying to accomplish that as well. I'm confused and intrigued lol.

I love the idea, and if I were to get the game I'd probably go for pure dust corp idea.

I started playing 20 days ago and was scared too. Don't worry, the in-game tutorials are pretty nice and the rookie chat is very helpful.No45 said:

Furthermore, I wonder if Dust mercs can employ EVE capsuleers to protect the skies of the planets they've taken over.ultron87 said:

It seems like at that point the two sides will basically be working in a contract. I think that's the idea both sides can operate by themselves but they need each other.
We can always get a rich russian bloke to fund us
I might try EVE again at some point, maybe during the summer. I liked it, but couldn't get my whole head around it in the week or so that I tried last year.
Think I'll like Dust abit better, just because it's a pick up and pew pew pew game. No Mining!

Does anyone here play EVE enough to know what dedicated players think of this? IT seems like the sovereignty system is going to greatly change, are the player ok with the idea?

Pretty much none by the looks of things. Maybe a handful but having observed the discussions over at EVE-O, K.com and Failheap amongst other sites the whole fiasco has really alienated the EVE playerbase. EVE players are notoriously PC Master Race and if not playing EVE get on games like Mount & Blade, BF, HoN, WoT and a few others.
There are quite a lot of noses out of joint about CCP going Sony second party for console games, lots of forum rage and QQ'ing all round. Most of us don't care that it is on consoles, but by being exclusive to Playstation and having no PC version really knocked the wind from the community at large. By the looks of things CCP has signed a multi-generation deal meaning the Dust IP will only be published on Sony hardware from this point on. Sony is basically blocking a PC version of this game in other words

Because they didn't force them to sign anything. The creators are responsible, so if you think the pc version is blocked blame them. Honestly, I kind of like that it's console only only because I think they are targeting two different audiences entirely. EVE has always been a game that I think could only work on pc and I don't think the EVE dedicated players are really a shooter crowd, in the same way I don't think console shooter fan would really be huge into EVE. You will have two groups with separate interests working together, each playing the game geared towards them. I think it's ballsy.The Shift said:

It's more like Xbox Live policies and the requirement of an Xbox Live subscription kept it off Xbox. Sony isn't blocking anything. CCP has long said this would be a console game. They need to tap into the vast console market and a persistent shooter is a great way to do it.

This is currently unknown, and by the way I would find it outlandish that any corporation would 'force' another to sign anything. All evidence thus far points to a CCP going Sony second party status by their own volition. The discussion right now is about what/how much funding Sony has forked over to keep this exclusive to PS3/PSV/PS Home and the next gen of Sony consoles which has already been alluded to by CCP themselves. Another point that many Playstation user's seem to obliviously miss is that the community doesn't care about xbox live being too restrictive. That ignores the main point of conflict over this whole thing - no PC version.

In my opinion, EVE is the closest thing we have to a spacefaring civilization within our attainable future.IPoopStandingUp said:

Well, there's the initial purchase charge, but that gets exchanged for ISK. The game pays for itself immediately, which is nice!Momo said:
As for funding, I'll be training in Planetary Interaction very soon. It's the career I've chosen for my current character. From what I hear, it's pretty lucrative, so if anyone else wants to put some effort forth, that would be great.
I've been to EVE forums and Facebook etc, and most of them hate that this is exclusive to PS3. Most even say that they hate CCP for that and are going to quit EVE online, not before they grief the hell out of PS3 dust users though so they'd stop playing which would result in the game bombing on PS3 and CCP would be forced to release it on PC... That's why I'm a bit worried about this game. I don't want crazy EVE players griefing me, hiring dust players and once we've got the planet for them what's to stop them from bombing us from the sky so they won't have to pay?BobTheFork said:
I dunno why though, PC players always knew this was only coming to the consoles. I guess most EVE online players are Xbox 360 owners.

lol this talk of ISK in the millions, you're fucking kidding me right?? - you are going to need ISK in the billions to even be relevant in the bigger picture playing Dust514, you know, those big EVE stories people fap on about. Fuck, personally I have about 12 billion in assets and around 30 billion in ISK currently. Wealth like that doesn't happen overnight, you need possibly years to get to meager earnings like mine.
The alliances that matter have isk in the trillions for reference.

It'll obviously be balanced, you can easily seed a battlefield with a few million ISK. There's probably a limit on what you can spend per match etc. Obviously having tons of ISK will be an advantage but I'm sure CCP will balance it as they also know it might bring in more players.
The Shift said:
I think it's because a pc version would destroy the console version. If it's all in the same universe a console player would have to play against pc players. Cause of the insurmountable advantage pc players have (aka mouse) no one would want to play the console version.

Come on, 12kk ISK it's like 2 hours of missions in med-secs. For advanced players - it's even faster.The Shift said:

I probably missed something, but what will stop established Eve corporations, from dominating newly formed Dust corps?
