I had actually restrained myself from mentioning that Star Wars' ship classification is totally wonky.

Edit: I like the idea of more EVE-DUST interaction, but I don't think EVE players transporting DUST players is the way to go. I do think EVE players should transport something to do with DUST, but not the players themselves.

I was thinking more like corelian corvettes from star wars. A ship similar could be used to drop dust players off at contested factional warfare stations to fight for dominance of the system.

Can we choose to vent them into space as an option? Twisted

Yes, or dock with an unsuspecting ship and drop off an awox party of dustbunnies

MERC WITH A MOUTH, Send me DPS and my fleet will double it back! Special offer!

What else would you have me compare it to, troop transports seem like the next thing to make this game interesting.

The concept of venting Dust 514 mercs into space really holds a lot of appeal for me. Lol

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Too much appeal for all of us, I think, for anyone to ever make it to a match in DUST again.

I would LOVE a hunter killer dessy. Even more so if they were given advanced ship probing equipment that allowed them two things.

1. To be the only ship capable of scouting out cloaked ships via new probes (only locates the grid of the cloaker)
2. A new bubble launcher that pulses every dozen ticks or so and decloaks all ships in range. Bubble range 25km T1 30km T2 The bubble also boosters sig radius of everyone inside by an amount as a drawback.


I don't support anti-cloaking systems... largely, because it's really difficult to balance an anti-"AFK Cloaking" fix that doesn't stomp on the legitimate use of cloaking. For instance, you wouldn't want your bubbled gatecamps to be able to perfectly spot and kill Blockade Runners, just because they've got a Hunter-Killer orbiting the gate AFK with his decloaker on; manual decloaking is a real skill requiring effort, and any fix shouldn't trivialize that... or make it too easy for a gatecamp to murder everyone that arrives.


Can be made so it can't be used near stargates.And if the cloaker is not afk he/she can just warp between grids and completely negate the probe scanning.
This way gate camps will not get the ability to decloak anything that comes through hence the manual decloaking will still be necessary for getting cloaking ships on gates.
