Allow the dusties to start colonizing planets... PI for dusties

Let Legion players build and fight over PI, it's crap in it's current Eve incarnation anyway.

It would give Eve players a reason to care what's going on planetside that isn't some gamey POS fuel bonus rubbish.

Eve players care plenty about PI either directly for POS Fuel, nanite paste, POS themselves, or indirectly for TECH II production etc etc

The current implementation leaves a lot to be desired but the concept in itself is good and should be developed further without destroying the existing uses.

Yeah precisely, IMHO it should be developed further by letting Legion/Dust players build and fight over it. I don't mean take the current version away from Eve players, that was badly phrased, but players on the ground should be able to build it as well. They could even build extras for capsuleers to use, ground factories for vehicles/modules, power and cpu boosters, extractor bonuses, that sort of thing. They should also be able to attack and destroy PI bases.



Plus all that salvage that will theoretically make up the Legion economy, let Eve players buy it and use it to manufacture automated drone based defenses. Something for the capsuleer who considers so much as looking at, let alone hiring, planet based peasants beneath them.

Dusties, could play major role as ground troops in taking by surprise and looting enemy instalations. PvE if the installation is guarded by militia bots, or PvP matches if they are guarded by players. Someone holding instalations should pay for guarding it (default ISK), and money would then be payed out to the guarding party, player who wants to attack should pay for attack party (again default ISK), and the money should then be payed for attacking party. Ammounts payed out from the initial pool could be shared as a defaults considering DUST payouts.
Additionally, some loot could be taken from the facilities. The facility itself would not change hands. Only products stored there in addition to the payout.

Products from looted facilities could then be taken and sold on the planetary market, place on the planet, with fancy new Icon on overwiev, that would work like a market in station. It would be a hub for DUST players selling planetary products and EVE players selling tanks and weapons there. DUST items would be manufactured by EVE players in the space using both, planetary and space resources.

DUST or Legion, is the major question, what would be better to integrate...
Maybe they would make Legion for next gen consoles, and Legion would be the answer.

I think Dust Bunnies as PI would be a bit more appropriate.
I'm certain I could find a use for all that FertiliserBlink

So thats why prices dropped...
I can imagine this, trucks full, coming to the Amarr facilities, slaves unloading in gas masks and full body suits...
