CONVERT OR DIE

The idea of cross content could be achieved thru the passing of the Empress. I ask the community consider breathing fresh air into this "baby eve" of sorts by allowing both the fight be taken above thru orbital strikes from space while infantry fight it out on the ground... Champions of sorts in both. A port has NOT been announced leaving an entire niche community outcasted from the larger playerbase. I for one consider this an injustice and am in the process of securing a planet to exercise this. Planetary conquest is the sovereignty of Dust 514 and its only fitting IMHO that they are again given another chance to shine.

This would be a sort of sorts in game event if both communities buy in... Or the coup de etat of the Dust community if ignored any longer. 2 years... No lore.

Does Dust deserve to be a lobby shooter or actually a sandbox? You decide

I really wish they would revisit Dust and bring it to newer platforms/pc. I have some many corp members that want to play the game but because of the platform it makes it difficult. This game could tie in some much lore and would be an awesome filler for eve. Would be nice if you could use you eve toon to drop onto a planet and play dust.

Having just played Angels Fall First for the first time... I wish CCP would buy it and give those boys a nice retirement. :)

Do not actively tank my patience.

dust is owned by sony.
sony paid CCP to develop dust for them
CCP is very limited in what they can do with dust due to the cost of sending out updates to consoles
yes, sony charges developers to send out updates for games to consoles.
dust will die.
there will hopefully be something better built to take it's place based on the experience that CCP had from building dust
personally I hope that something is developed for PC because "PC Master Race" and all
mixing consoles with PC always results in bad things

I'd love to participate...

But I'm in high-sec.

I'm not in Faction Warfare.

And I don't have a PS4.

:/ So I'm useless to CCP and Sony.

Now, if they opened it to allow for battles in high-sec, orbital bombardments IN high-sec, and bombardments to take place outside of Faction Warfare, well, hell, then I'd be all for it.

Recommendations:

-enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters)

-add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot)

-STOP NERFING EVERYTHING!

Well, you wouldn't need a PS4, but, the rest of your points are valid, the expansion of abilities to assist dust battles would open the door for more "EvE Pilot" involvement than currently exists.

Additionally, around the time the first big change was made to Dust (the change to, or from Chromosome) the game started heading downward at that time, persistent bugs and glitches, knee-jerk nerfs and OP "roflstomp" fittings that sucked the fun out of gameplay for many of us who were beta and / or alpha testers.

A change that would allow us more options might also get some of us to do something other than just log in an apply passive SP every-so-often.

Maybe expand OB support to "Fleet Members" instead of just FW or alliance members, make some of the battles take place in high sec space so that newer EvE pilots who want to play with their console friends can do so without having to learn all that there is to know about low sec before going to a planet.

In my main's alliance, we have seen the birth of quite a few EvE pilots due to the dust community alliance members, each of those pilots has had to face the same drawback that other similarly created EvE pilots do... The lack of meaningful gameplay options and interaction with their "Dust" corp or alliance mates.
I have 4 Dust Characters, I set them up in the same manner that I did my EvE characters, each to their specific strength and each to a particular role.
My highest 2 are 50+ million SP and 40+ million SP
I don't say this to brag though, simply to help add a little weight to the statements since I have in fact spent many hours playing Dust and I feel that I have a fairly good bit of insight into some of the issues Dust players and their EvE counterparts have to deal with.


Just my 0.02 cents worth.

I'm almost 100% positive that you are mistaken.
Dust 514 is the property of CCP, not sony.
CCP looked at the costs of going with sony or with x-box and sony won out for numerous factors including the fact that there's no internet access fee for sony's playstation 3 and no charge for game update dissemination like x-box has.

There has also already been talk of the PC version of Dust named "Legion"

Additionally, CCP was the first to actually do the console/PC world mix, so i'm not sure how you've come to the conclusion that it "always" leads to bad things because it really hasn't so far and with no previous data to base your statement on one might wonder what orifice of your body you're pulling it out of?

not trying to bust your chops of course, just a little surprised to see so much wrong info in such a short post.

you are however correct that "dust will die" - In the sense that if it doesn't become the product of the original vision it will never be the console gamer's version of eve, but aside from that, I believe you to be way off base.
