Say five militia ships appear at a district beacon.

1. Will each of these earn their own orbital strike after waiting for their three minutes?
2. or is it the first one there starts the timer and then whoever shoots first at the end of the timer gets to actually achieve/shoot something?

Both dev blogs read like it's the first, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually the second.

Can both militia's orbit the same button at the same time and earn strikes? (assuming they don't shoot each other!)

Edit:
If you leave a timer after say, 1.5 minutes, does it restart from scratch when you warp back to it, pause or count down while it's empty?
Depending on the answer, can you count down an enemy timer having killed them or chased them away?

Number 2, a militia can only earn a single strike at a time.

Enemy militia showing up will pause the capturing at whatever time it was at. If you chase them away the timer first counts back to 0 if they had started capturing already, and then counts up the 3 minutes for your own side.

Yes the timer will pause if you warp away and resume if you come back.

If you do allow DUST players to choose the system, please make sure Eve players somehow get to decide which systems are on/off the list. In other words, DUST players should not be allowed to attack a system where the opposing side dominates in Eve (ie RP-wise they cannot fly their warbarge there). This could be something as simple as in order to attack a system, at least 1 plex most have been completed in that system within the last 15 minutes.

If you wanted something more complicated, you could do something more detailed like create an invulnerable "war barge" for each faction above each temperate planet on different grids. This war barge would have a plex like timer that each side could "capture" back and forth (ie +0-10 minutes on timer is "green" -(0-10) minutes on the timer is "red"). DUST would only be allowed to attack a planet if their war barge was green status. This would give us FW Eve players something else to fight over and allow eac

There have been groups organizing joint militia channels for eve + dust yes, and you can use voice on them. There are posts around on both forums discussing this.

how hard would it be to make active dust battles appear on the system scanner?

also what you guys really should consider to do is to let ship fittings influence the OB performance. We have the meta 0 fitted ships doing fw stuff problem again.


the risk is currently very theoretical. Since destroyers with meta 0 guns filled with WCs cost a tenth of a pvp fitted frig.

In Dust we are unable to deploy full teams into FW. The lack of communication with the entire team and the penalty for team killing will make it difficult for orbitals to be dropped.

In Dust there are a LOT of players that do not have mics and do not mic up in Team chat. You have to be able to clear an objective before dropping an orbital. Unless something is done to forgive team killing from orbitals I fear that Eve pilots will be wasting their time.

Granted it's too soon to know. Perhaps the blueberries (random people outside your squad) will suddenly show intelligence that they've lacked thus far, but it's doubtful.

PC master race killing console peasants. Literally.

The game is a floating turd in a toilet at your local crack house in ole Detroit. I just started playing the beta for ESO its too early but very promising. So how's that "10 yrs plan" still working out with Bust?

Excellent news !

Now all I need a list of all ongoing and queued FW Dust battles in the FW window.

Please don't have us rely on ... footmen ... to provide us with system name, planet and district numbers. It's too complicated for them!

Squizz asked if the killmails will be included in the API. I want to know that too.

I also would like to know, will these DUST items be in the eve SDE?
