Recently with the news of Dust closing I found myself talking about Planetary war and wanted to start an ideas discussion here

I personally feel it would be best to have a TBS type game, where 1 turn (DT, orders phase, action phase, DT) with the RTS & FPS element being brought in during those turns to change the tide of battle.

For a simple example:

Player 1 and 2 set up their units orders for the day, after downtime the NPC units start to carry out their orders, player 1 notices a flank is being taken so hire's player mercenaries (or indeed airstrikes) to try and rectify the situation, repeat until end of turn.

In this way wars could be fought all over New Eden without necessarily needing 'Dust/Legion' players, ensuring your team of mercenaries will always have a job and also adding game play for budding planetary commanders.

I assume ccp will be heavily involving planetary interaction to the next first person shooter

You shouldn't need to play a different game to defend something in EVE. If you own it in EVE, it should be defendable with ships in space. Otherwise it should be removed from EVE and entirely put into the other game, even if there are connections.

They are shutting down dust - what happens to the bombardment ammo? That's my question.

Wars will always need boots on the ground and more wars means more need for ships in the area :)
