I have watched lots of fanfest material about Dust and something went unanswered. How do Dust mercenaries move between stations and planets since they dont fly in space? And how do they move stuff between space stations?

If this queston is still unanswered I suggest courier contracts for movement of stuff between stations. That way Dust mercenaries cant just instawarp stuff between stations. For dust warriors themselves I suggest jump clone system where EVE players would move Dust mercenary body to station and if successful Dust mercenary could clone jump there.

Movement of people and stuff and danger involved with transportation is key part of EVE. Can Dust players just ignore dangers of space and safely instawarp anywhere they want?

And... Comments are welcome for my suggestion (as always).

From what I remember from the DUST presentations I believe at beginning you wont be able to interact that much with the DUST players in EVE space. I think one of the devs got asked about the DUST barges and if EVE players will see them in space, and the dev replied that they are thinking about it but it wont be there at launch. CCP knows that most EVE players would just try and shoot them down lol. So they first want to see the reaction people will have in the link they have already set up. Depending on how EVE and DUST players behave, who knows lol.

Check out the DUST fanfest videos CCP has posted on youtube i am sure you will find your answer somewhere. But basically DUST and EVE are first going to shake hands and introduce them self's, it will be a pretty formal meeting. CCP is not going to be rushed when it comes to the DUST and EVE relationship :P
