How does Dust work? Can I blow up people from space?

Been reading about Dust and seen a few videos. I'm not a console gamer so I know I won't play the game but it is intriguing to know the two games are working together.

With that in mind, can I go somewhere to blow up people from space cause that would be cool?

How are the games intertwined?

Thanks!

DUST player can call down an orbital strike.

EVE player in FW can execute the strike (sit above the planet and press butan, you don't have to aim P).

If there is no EVE player the orbital strike happens anyways (but does less damage) because of magic.

Only if the dust bunny on the ground ask for your assistance to perform an orbital bombardment.

So no you can't just roam around nuking stuff from orbit randomly.

So you can Nuke when asked, but is there anything else? Drop supplies? Chit-Chat with them?

Thanks for the answers though, helps me understanding.

If a day ever comes when we can indiscriminately nuke from orbit, I am sure the dustbunnies will also be given the ability to take a ship out of orbit from the ground with the same prejudice and equal lack of reasons.

It'll separate the raepists from the real killers.


Frankly I don't want to risk going up against the kind of stuff that was described in "Templar One".

But if it were up to me, I would allow the dustbunnies to get ship kill mails simply because they would enjoy the living crap out of that.


In the end I think a good time would be had by all. This, those who merely want to nuke Dusties from orbit without restriction and little risk might want to try camping a graveyard outside Stormwind on a WoW PVP server.

Bring back DEEEEP Space!
