You know, been following Dust recently. Looks amazing, makes me happy to have a PS3 and I can't wait until it comes out. Actually the reason I got into EVE, ^^

Anyways, I got an idea that might work. How about some kind of installations on the ground that let you fire at ships in orbit, and which if these installations relied on the targeting of a friendly ship in orbit. That way, both games can be actively involved in each others fights. This would be especially awesome when people are having a large fleet engagement over the planet. It would definitely be a great way of bringing the two games closer together.

Ah, thanks!

Just making sure, it's not technically a confirmed feature yet, and I still wanted to suggest that it be based on targeting from EVE players like orbital strike targeting is based on Dust players.

and I would guess that CCP will have a way to counter the orbital strike by some sort of killright system or whatnot.

wouldn´t be EVE if killing others, even if it´s just Dust Soldiers, wouldn´t put you in danger yourself

It was a Terran (IIRC) weapon powered by the highly unstable Isogen-5 isotope. It's pretty fleshed out in the Empyrean Age novel. Same as the joint Minmatar/Thukker Tribe assault on the CONCORD station.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

i imagine that this would be a necessary part of dust; if they cant threaten our ships, and they provide nothing necessary for us, why would we higher them?

I watched the Keynote demo for Dust yesterday actually, I hope this idea is implemented, would be kind of annoying to be bombed from the ground without being able to retaliate.

I mean, what if no one was backing you up from space? What then? They could just infinitely bombard you without any hope of retaliating?

I also have to say, those big ships that float above the battlefield cost a lot according to the video, and the defender objective in that mission was to destroy it. I sure as hell hope their is an option to pull out, definitely wouldn't want to lose those things...
