Recently I have been thinking about the Dust 514/Eve Online integration that will take place, and I started wondering... mercenaries fighting over PI platforms and whatnot on the surface? It appears to be that we will be shilling out hundreds of millions for these mercenaries to do fighting, and unless you are running a massive chain of planets that is producing five billion a month or so, what will be the point of us having the mercenaries fight over them? Besides the orbital bombardment aspect that will no doubt eventually take place with troops on the ground... is CCP planning on implementing some sort of new structure or owned structures, besides player owned customs offices, that we will be able to control and will be profitable in the long run? Cities and industrial centers for example?

What do all of you think? I am interested in hearing your replies. Big smile

Ah, I see.

If you don't mind me asking, how much does everyone believe that such an operation to take over a planet will take? E3 2011 trailer showed quite a lot of figures, and they are apparently permanently gone when destroyed. Do the capsuleers provide equipment, or do the mercenaries bring their own?

mercenaries will be paying for there own just like ammo guns and armour stuff to do with there char, anything else is up to the person leading the attack. I'm sure CCP will be adding a lot more to PI and ways to make ISK from it but for now its a simple system to get used to and lots of places for it to grow from.

Gameplay is something that will be addressed in the third (3rd) Dust514 expansion. Here at CCP's research department, we have decided that releasing something without gameplay would outsell releasing nothing at all, hence why we have don't have a sense of urgency in adding gameplay

Keep sending us money.

I forgot people cant make money so they can kee updating the game with new stuff... hence why we all have money tress growing in our back yards now a days right? lol. They have said many times that they will be adding in new stuff after release so that the game grows into a better sandbox game... you cant just release it all and hope it works 100% at the start they need to make small steps to build onto a better system making sure it works not just for them but for the players in the game EVE and Dust 514...

as far as PI buildings, go into your overview settings, go to the filter tab.
go to planetary infrastructure (or wahtever the bloody nutters it was called) and look there.

there is a check box for "capsuleer bases" and "mercenary bases".

Sov wont be soley based on planets.

It would just be that much harder to hold if you dont own the planets.

Dust 514's CPM 1 Iron Wolf Saber Eve mail me about Dust 514 issues.

They also want to tie it in with FW at some point. The bigger question is, why doesn't 514 have its own forum?

Why would Dust have a seperate forums when CCP is clearly attempting to integrate EVE and DUST into the same universe/game? Corp members will share the same corp chat whether on PC or PS3 and I am sure the new in-game corp forums are going to also be available to both as well. So wouldn't you think they would want everyone on the same forums too?

Because DUST 514 players won't care about the best way to fly an interceptor and EVE players won't care about the best way to take on a HAV without a heavy dropsuit or a HAV of your own.

Different strokes for different folks.

So give us a forum here for DUST 514 already. I mean, some of us are fine with the other ones that are around, but I'm sure official ones would be nice too.

Also, if you're looking for more answers to some questions, check out www.dust514base.com and www.dust514.org (and the forums there). Generally, that's the best place to start looking.

(And yes, this is shameless self promotion)

FW will be the instant action option for the Dust players thier version of npc missions a way to earn isk without eve players.

IMO they need to get in incursions where its a team vs alot of strong hostile npcs.

Null is the only place theyll be fighitng for eve players over sov.

Eve allainces will get new toys concerning PI mostly revolving around the orbital elevator to as far as my best guessing goes turns the planet into indestructable starbase with extra twiddely dinks.
