You know, maybe if Dust people can blow the outpost ITS A GOOD IDEA. We dont even know how Dust people will deploy in planets, its not that they have a tele-transporter in every fcking planet, apart that they need to bring the resources to the planet to fight. Right?

Keep in mind that DUST will run from the same server as EVE.


From my understanding DUST WILL NOT be held on the same servers as Eve it will only have a link between the two. However the servers will be ran and operated by CCP personally.

Dust 514 runs off Tranquility. They are the same server, there is no separation other than the client used to access the server and the device used to run the client.

Here are some good Dust 514 preview articles - they contain references to the cross platform comms, confirm that Dust 514 is run on Tranquility simultaneously with EvE, and have reactions from press members who have actually seen the game played in front of them to confirm it is coming along as intended.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to jump in here and clarify that Dust 514 has its own player-run structures called Outposts, which CCP_CmdrWang is referring to in that very short tweet. Hope this clears up any speculation at this point Smile

Actually while they don't have teleporters, they basically have insane amounts of jump clones.

So, the Dust players can hang around in their base and clonejump to battlefields halfway across the universe instantly. Even if EVE players need to ferry around containers full of clones and their reactivation units in order to stage a ground attack, the Dust merceneries will not be wasting two hours looking outside a ship's window for it to reach its destination.

I for one hope it actually matters, I have a slew of RL friends with COD k/d stats over 1.7, and I can't wait for them to steal your stuff and blow up your spaceships with ground-to-space cannons.

Why would they fight over outposts? EVE barely does that now. You'll probably get kicked out of the null sec peace accord currently in place. Oh, is that just going to be in high sec too?

^this.

However, CCP has taken this into account. Dust is meant to be a griefing tool. A sh!t game mechanic for making the game less fun for more people.

Thank you. Though if the dust 514 idea catches on as a success it may be something to look over later on.

My,my! That's both interesting and new! Lets take poor game mechanics, and make it a worse experience! Should be interesting, but not worth staying subbed up for.

I think it would be cool to have DUST Mercs inside a (lets just call them STATIONS) player owned station in Nullsec.

Mercs go in, take down the shields or something and then have to get out (Back to the choppah!!!) before the station is blown to bits by the fleets outside. Yes...destructible stations please! Or the Mercs are required to change the sov of that station.

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

They are inmortal, they don't need to get out, just light on the switch

Uh can't we invite them over to our Outposts? Sure that 'd be fun! Especially if the outpost would die in a huge explosion as a result ;)
