When Dust514 hits, will we be able to bomb Dust players in the same way that we can gank high-seccers now?

Because that would be awesome . . . .

Not quite the same, as rumor is the dust bunnies will be able to gank orbiting ships too.

With what I can only assume is the "Empire Strikes Back" nipple gun of doom.

No, because they'll actually be able to shoot back at you.

So yes, it will be awesome... and a totally new experience for the average ganker.

Dear sex symbol, your ideas are intriguing, and I wish to subscribe to your news letter.

Some Eve lore said that titans couldn't go near inhabited planets because of their size they effected the tides.

Titan orbital bombardment would include a MWD and a tidal wave Big smile

As per the DUST514 Keynote last fanfest, dust bunnies had request a strike, EVE players couldn't just spam them, EVE players did have control over what type of guns and ammo were used, as well as the timing of the strike and whether to actually fire the strike or not.

EDIT: OBs are now LIVE on SiSi, but you'll need some Dust bunny contacts first Blink

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.

The planets will have different districts you can warp to, I would imagine only those districts would be dangerous.

If we could just randomly gank planets,
there'd be nothing left for DUST players to play.

That's never stopped us before... BURN DUST! But sadly, the devs have forseen this. Sigh.

Would actually be pretty hillarious if we could just spam orbital doom upon all the bunnies all the time.

But I guess it wouldnt be good biznez for CCP

Those were the early versions that the Amarr, Caldari and the Gallente made. The Amarr one, the Emperor is the biggest ship ever made. It's bigger then even our titans. The Khanids have one also that they took from the Amarr, and the Caldari and Gallente ones from the the war are hidden away somewhere except for the Soltueur class titan the Molyneux which Serpentis stole somehow. Pictures of the titans.....

The leviathan at the end was the one titan the minmatar did manage to build. All of these are original old designs and are probably 3 time or more the size of the current generation of titans. The Imud took several decades and they stripped a whole planet bare to build it.
