Did anyone here play a game called Total Annihilation? It was a great strategy game that was miles ahead of other RTS of it's time putting both Red Alert and Starcraft to shame. Well anyway the reason I mention it was because the on-line game was focused around a system called boneyards.

The main feature of bone yards was the galactic war where the 2 sides fought against each other on a series of planets. With each planet being represented by a certain map. (There were over 200 official maps and countless other unofficial ones.). Each game when won or lost would account for taking over the planet. You might have 30 games on at once and the outcome of all the games will decide who controls the planet, same as in Star Wars battlefront too.

I think a similar thing will happen in eve and I don't believe that there will be any waiting around at the FPS end because FPS'rs just won't have the patience for that. I think EVE players will initiate planetary warfare and then some sort of timer begin where each side gets reinforcements equipment onto planet all the while below several servers/games of dust go on to determine who controls the place.

So as for indy types I think you will be selling your planet warfare stuff at trade hubs and then other eve players will be buying and shipping it and selling it to there dust players to win the planet for them or giving it to them depending on how well they played and how many in game credits they won.

Just a guess, is this thread not supposed to be in dust section anyway?

Where is orbital bombardment mentioned? Oh you mean in the video the same video where that capital get's insta popped from the plannet? Cool I hope they have both. Some kid blasting titans out of the sky from his console.

Well, if we do have kids popping titans from consoles we benefit either way because of the spike in demand for minerals. Nullsec guys hate mining trit, and more often than not buy it from empire and j/f it out. I"m sure that you'll be able to provide your troopies with better weapons, or we may see that there actually be a purpose for Planetary Vehicles now. If and when integration of the games happens, I"m sure there will be a need for PI products somewhere.
