ok so far we have eve and dust but what is the third?

ccp Should remove PI from EVE and turn it into a Civilization V like game (sorta a meld between a rts/tbs/mmo)... this would be computer based.

what the civ like game (CLG) would act as a environment designer for battle zones in dust and also handle all the PI stuff that ends up being sold in EVE online...

This imo would greatly enhance the sandbox... plus imagine not only being the first company to integrate two games but add a third?

they would cover all three major genres in one big shebang!

you would make cities and setup real mines and farms and everything you do in PI now but have it be an actual game that is interesting to play...

It would be awesome if we could make battle areas for the Dusties.

Though... probly not fair for them.

Edit: why 3? Where did CCP say this?

Would still need a racing game with cops and nos and big slomo crashes

There should be a rather awesome pic here

Maybe the third one will be released when we can walk in stations and own pets. Then the cat owners can change to hello kitty while walking around the stations.

they never said it so its not a rumor or anything like that...

i am just saying why stop at two games... in theory they could make several games that could all tie directly in the live eve universe...

and IMO if there was to be a third it would be the one i suggested in OP.

You had won the internet for now and all time when you said "ccp Should remove PI from EVE" but then kept poasting.

Why do people keep using that phrase? It's just silly.

That being said, the idea's not bad. Probably pretty dang hard to implement, but it would be pretty cool to prepare battlefields, though you'd need some way to un-prepare them, since giving EvE players that much of a defensive advantage is probably unwise.

Oh, and Civ 2 Forever. My spearmen will take on your tank any day of the week.

Why have another planet domination RTS game tied with EvE when Dust covers this? Pointless overlaps.
The RTS should be smaller, digital themed, and effect Dust and EvE and can be done within the CQ.

HACKING.
Play a RTS game in which you go all hackers on opponents using digital units and infrastructure in a 3d UI hacking program as you turn off POS shields or temporarily bring down orbital defense structures when you win matches against other corps.

  • Frame other players computers so they get caught and hauled into custody by CONCORD
  • Infect a Dust teams current set of gear with malfunctioning signal locators showing all their locations to the other team tell next time they die.
  • Turn a flight of drones rogue and they attack their owner
  • Redirect a dusters bombardment beacon to land on himself.
  • Hack NPC banks for isk rewards.

dust covers this on a mico level PI is macro... so replacing PI with a civ V like mmo that ties into eve and dust would be pretty awesome...

plus there is a client size limit so something as large as this would have to be a separate game...

It can still be done in a CQ, Dust has its own CQ, You wouldn't be a immortal merc or starship pilot. You are just some greasy neckbeard who stays in quarters all day hacking.

they are adding an emo vampire subgame to dust

you get to kill people while crying in your beer over all the killing going on in the universe

your tears will then be traded as nutrient powerups for the mercs in dust.

more ganking in eve = more tears in WoD = more mercs winning in dust = more power for GSF

listen up pepums, fo dis be yo futum!

There have been a few interviews with CCP where they indirectly indicate that their plan is to do exactly what the original post says (continually add more games to the EVE shard), but they, obviously, haven't confirmed that. Removing PI this late into its addition to EVE seems drastic though.

If the EVE layout for PI influences the DUST maps, you realize that everyone is going to troll the living hell out of the poor DUSTies, right?

Somewhere in the Seeding the Universe keynote there is mention of a possible third game along the lines of what you're talking about.

Moving further into the Civilization V idea could be sophisticated Sim City or Dwarf Fortress-esque micromanagement for each installation, where the Dusties do actual fighting.

I'd ensure that all of my installations are designed in such away that all Dust mercenaries deployed will experience at least four of the following immediately upon spawning:
-Ground collapses into lava and/or pool of sharks
-Giant, spinning metal blades everywhere
-An enclosed/locked room full of switches, levers and buttons. Each of which floods it with acid.
-Minefields surrounding all spawning areas
-Skyfire lasers which are aimed at the firing controls rather than EVE ships
-Everything is on fire

It would be very beneficial if EVE players had access to the DUST 514 map editor for these very reasons.
