"On Thursday, January 10, the regularly scheduled downtime will be extended to 5 hours and 15 minutes starting at 07:00 to 12:15 UTC."

5.25 Scheduled hours downtime. It is good thing Buttfungus did not yet train Cruiser to 5. Log off at 0700 Thursday and when Tranquility back online, Buttfungus will be able to fly T2 HAC Big smile
Hopefully downtime not last more than 20 days. Cruiser 5 longest untrained skill Buttfungus have Sad

Screw you and your NOT EVE game that screws with EVE.


CCP needs more games to survive the current market, EA is throwing a multimillion dollar project at them now. Planetside 2 has been having crazy ideas and eve has been inspiring them (though I don't see it in the ps2 game) and there are dozens of more sci-fi mmos in space heading down the development pipe that all threaten eve.

New Eden needs to start becoming agile, feature matching and feature overwhelming. Making it hard for a very well funded studio to play catch up to a game 10 years in the making.

Also I highly doubt you want ex-DICE employees toying with eve, they're shooter devs after all.

So when we log into EVE we will see two PCUs? One for Dust and One for EVE?

For all the people in this thread who are upset that they can't just randomly roll up to a planet and bomb DUST 514 players back into the stone age, don't worry, I understand how you feel, and I think you're entirely correct. You absolutely should have the ability to run up to a planet and smack the crap out of anyone running around on it, at any time.

... as long as the DUST 514 players have the ability to do exactly the same back to you.

That's the EVE Online way, guys - you can do anything to anyone, but so can they.

This may sound strange, but will Eve players be able to place bounties on DUST soldiers?

Isk markets are separated so there is currently no way to 'trick' isk into dust 514 or vice versa.

All I hope is that the PSN network folks are better than what I remember of my Xbox Halo 2 days.

Lord, the screaming 12 year olds (and older ones with 12 year old minds)! I think I had to leave half the folks on ignore and mute those days.

Then again, maybe DUST is a bit too cerebral for the average to hold those kind of folk's attention for too long.

Can DUST players see local (the list of people in the system)? Can they move to any system they want? If so, it will have a huge effect on intel as you could quickly and safely scout systems for hostile EVE fleets.

I really, really hope this goes well for CCP. If it works it would be completely awesome and revolutionary.
The culture differences is a real concern, but you would hope that Dust attract other people than the standard male pre-pub (or, shock horror, you average gaming male teen nerd).

You'd hope you'd be able to get a cloaky get down on a planet and watch them running around doing their thing ... and then ofc you'd want to swap your harmless cloaky for a stealth bomber ...Twisted

No they are contained to a set of high security stations for now, and cannot move around.

You can use the same client, just point the launcher at Sisi instead of Bucky.

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.

Judging from the huge difference in a price scale, that probably will remain in effect for a very long time, otherwise DUSTies will just drown in the capsuleers pocket change.


But, but... how about those contracts ? Aren't they a way to pump ISK into DUST nevertheless ??

there is the NDA so without breaking it. all I can say is BETA they have already messed with pricing/income and im sure they will again before launch. Not going to be easy to balance the 2. Make isk too easy to get in Dust and eve player use dust as an Isk printing machine making another unwanted isk faucet in EVE. Make ISK too hard in Dust and you will find only dust mercs with an Eve friend can hope to compete. I dont envy them in that.


If DUST ISK became a seperate currency ie PK (planetarty credits) or something and Aurum use was increased in EVE (ie Aurum for EON, Aurum GFX instead of plex). They could operate an exchange involving the 3 currencies allowing them to have dynamic exchange rates to keep the currencies in order. This is where the Economist would be useful what ever happened to the good Doctor?

How will the CMS work with dust? Will they get some reserved slots or just join the general election?
