I had an idea for some sort of in game strategy game revolving around planetary warfare. Not only would this give us something else to fixate on whilst we are doing nothing but i think it could tie in nicely with dust mercs as these really could be used to swing the battle one way or the other. It could tie in very nicely with faction war and with incursions as both of these should really be fought planetside also.

Theres more to my thinking than just these ideas but i didnt want to spend my time posting the idea in its entirety at this time as its a little complicated and unfinished. In essence it could pave the way for eve pilots to manufacture and transport the goods needed to battle zones, the way this proposed merc battle barge thing is introduced and a way for the mercs to be more than just a fanciful ally in a battle zone.. and a whole lot more.

Personally i dont think it should be overly complicated in its form on the planet, maybe just a more complicated type of 'flash' game? EvE pilots would not be involved in the actual fighting only in the movement and orders part of and battlefield opersations (so no, not fps more of a turn based strategy.. not quite turn based but anyway..)

Your views?

I think someone already proposed something like this. Planetary Interaction 2.0 by Asuka Solo. Good read.

I just hope we can scan planets and gank some dust players from orbit...

A combat probe but a moon probe idea. Launch the planetary combat probe, get a read back in the PI grid but instead of the materials grid you get a military readout.

I also was hoping to be able to one day launch troops to the ground, using Ingame marines and or dog tags as garrison builders. Player created PvE opportunities for the Dust players but not limited to scripted missions. A step toward intelligent PvE, something games have never really had.
