It's not EVE. Us PC only players can't play it. And I, among others, refuse to buy a PS3 simply for DUST. It has no business being on the forums here. It's an insult...

DUST is EVE.

And I hope in a couple of decades a lot of games are EVE.

Not me. Sure it's fun, but EVE's a sci-fi simulator, not just a spaceship simulator, and I for one am looking forward to when we get the rest of the universe to play with.

No, this is an insult: You're almost as ugly as you're stupid.

In all honesty I believe it is a very poor show of CCP's true nature.


This is a blatant pulicity attempt for DUST, lureing people who have heard about eve online to thier new shiney shootemup game.

Now if you ever needed any proof that CCP were far more focused on DUST then EVE this is it. Trafficing possible new eve players towards dust.



Eve's days are number'd, DUST is going to pull it down with itRoll

Me too. If I wanted to play an FPS, I'd be playing an FPS.

I want a forum that has the most important sections (like General Discussion) on the top.

Hi All

For those who have been living in their ships with their communications turned off for far to long Ugh

EVE & Dust are the same universe and there will be (Well CCP is hoping there will be!) a lot of interaction between the 2 sets of players.

EVE players/ corporation/alliances will be able to hire Dust players/corps/alliances to takeover/destroy another EVE players/ corps/alliances Planetary Holdings

While the defender will be able to hire his own Dust mercenaries to defend their PI

As well as EVE players will be able to orbital bombard the stuffing out of Dust players on the planet where a battle is taking place. While in a future expansion Dust players will be able to blow EVE players ships to bits that are in orbit around a world the battle is on.

EVE Fanfest 2012 - Dust Keynote

For those who want to cut to the chase the Orbital Bombardment Real Time Demonstration starts at 21mins 30secs

So EVE players will have a direct involvement in how Dust will evolve.

One discussion at Fanfest even postulated a Future where Dust Corps/Alliances might be able to hire EVE players to help them launch their own invasions of other EVE players planets for their own gain.

Hence the New Dust entries.

Later CCP stated that there might be also be an expansion that means items manufactured in EVE might be sellable to Dust players & vice-versa

But as someone who tried Dust at Fanfest. I am afraid it just proved I am to old for a reflex based first person shotter. So I wont be buying a PS3 to play Dust myself I'm afraid.

Making a sub-forum for a part of the game universe is “poor show”? Should they also remove Market Disucssion or Mission & Complexes or Crime & Punishment or Warfare & Tactics? What other subforums should they put the Dust-related posts in?

The dog is a cruel war animal named EVE, while the kitten has the adorable name DUST! Both are excellent, so there is no need for the OP to get butthurt.

Damn, that was an awesome analogy.

Ok. so lets get into this, IF DUST is a part of eve online and eve online is part of dust, being the same universe, then why should PS3 console players be able to participate in said universe without paying a MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION like all the PC players.

Secondly, same universe, on two completely seperate gaming systems, lets be honest, its 2 seperate games, and should be treated as so. Ok there maybe in the future "if all goes to plan (tm)" there will be interaction, but isnt there also interaction on say battlelog between xbox, ps3 and pc with another online fps game, being able to view other peoples profiles nad comment etc. so this is hardly groundbreaking.

That's a part of upcoming DustBunnies EVE expansion.

DUST forums will help us find targets for new types of business, scams and griefing - like picking up some naive DUST guys as if you were going to hire them to clear planet but instead lock them up for a couple of weeks in POS until they pay ransom (and after that dump them into space to die without oxygen).

P.S. It seems like EVE finally managed to free my sociopathic alter-ego.

They get to RMT, if they want.

And subscription is what the EVE crowd wants, as everyone cried out, when CCP tried to experiment with RMT.

So EVE stays subscription, while DUST is RMT.

Because it's not the same game, not the same market, and not the same audience.

Having a Dust subforum on in the EVE forums makes sense because there will be a Dust component to EVE, much like we have a Science & Industry subforum because there is an industry component to EVE.

Not really, no. That's not interaction — that's just account stats. If you want to see interaction, go watch the Dust keynote from fanfest.
