That is correct. You pay in EVE that Dusties can play for free.
Nearly free.. they pay once for the game. This is why I, as EVE player, hate DUST so much.
CCP should use MY monthly subscription fee to improve the game I pay for! Especially that DUST is a console only game and I, as PC user, am not able / willing to buy a console and play the game. A console from a company with a lot of attacks and hacks on customers data.

I hope that DUST will be the same fail as the last "improvements" from CCP in EVE.
I mean the not customizable Neocrapcom; the bugged and delayed overview or this fabulous new launcher.

I would like to see that DUST dies within the first months and CCP will REAL integrate DUST into EVE so that ALL paying EVE players are able to play dust without a console. Or DUST dies and CCP dies.. By now I dont care anymore!

CCP has it made that I become a EVE hater from a EVE lover. Too mutch fail by development, ignorance from developer and management and they ignore the customer if they bring suggestions or report bugs. Ask for their customers feedback but decline every statement to problems in EVE. Refuse a rollback if there is a problem like the last with the sh!t launcher. Bring a nex shop and this fugging currency AURUM which is in fact microtransaction!

THAT DOESNT FIT INTO A GAME WITH MONTHLY SUBSCRIBTION CCP!

What planet are you on? No one in there right mind would pay a monthly sub for a FPS game on a console.

Obviously you have no understanding and your completely arrogent on how companies like CCP survive. The future of games are here. and for companies to survice Micro transactions are the way forward love it or hate it.

anytime m8! 'like' the post if you feel its worth it!

The orbital-bombardment seems to be a cool thing, in most cases if its live, the next thing im interested how does it work on massiv fleetfight where "TIME-Dilation" has its side-effect will that dilation count for the dust-players too ? or the servers get asynchron and crash ?

The next cool thing i want to see are drones from Battleships or carriers make airstrikes on the planet surface(they have to be visible by the dustplayers and they should be able to destroy them with anti-air weapons not only bombardment, i am also missed up in the demonstration is a way that dustplayer can defend or interrup orbital- / airstrikes, maybe some dust moduls for targeting jamming that the other force has to destroy till the orbital strike can be made.

As i have seen in the presentation you have a dustplayer to order the strike and he has to place a marker on the map till the ship outside orbiting the planet can strike on that location. That prevents eve player on randomly or just for fun spaming the orbital-strikes.

The next thing im missing up, are pirat-faction based items and vehicles will there ever be a dread guristas hovertank or assault rifle out there for dustplayers? to be similar to the eve Pirate-factional ships/weapons/amunition?

Will dustplayers be able to fight Sleepers on WH-SPACE planets or atack planets of the JOVE-EMPIRE as late game PVE/coop content ? When its not controlled or owend by players?

When i controll a planet, how does it defend its self till my mercs arrive as reinforcemnet ? is there any AI driven defense?

Or do we get a warning that planet XY is beeing atacked in the next 2 hours and there is a countdown running so i get time to order mercs for defending?

You pay for EVE and you play EVE, console players pay for their console and play DUST. I don't follow the proposition that you pay for EVE therefore you should be able to play DUST. There are so many console games that I would like to see on PC, but we can't have it all :(

You may hate microtransactions, as do I. But there is a very simple solution, don't use it and ignore it. As long as it is optional, I am fine with both existing together... As for EVE, I don't think it will become P2W at any point in time, considering the limiting skill factor and the fact that it is a massive-morpg..

Naive beyond salvation...

If CCP would think they can spare some money from your payments (and they should, it is called a profit), they would just pay that money for themselves, in a form of dividends. Not spend them as a charity for console kids.

Dust himself is planned to be profitable - otherwise there is no point of making it. Wil it be profitable in reality, remains to be seen, as for any commercial project.

You are naive at thinking any company would ever imply a finance model where it gives everything for free. If it is not called "Mother Theresa", ofc.

DUST will finance itself through MT, or at least it is planned to.

Does anyone remind the crying and overestimation about Aurum in EvE? And all those feaze ended only into dressing your avatar for your own happiness until today? At present you can't walk in common areas on the stations, and you can't interact with other players on it. The only way to show your expansive clothes is to make a snapshot from your avatar and send it to another player....

I think, to compensate the lost of PI-Products in the game for POS-Holders, and the
possibility to make corp versus corp battles, it may be, that empire-systems and planets get
useable for corps one day.

CCP may also compensate the lost of fuel via pumping PI-Products or blocks into the market.
Sure, this will break their credo not to get involved into the market.

There may even also the point, that CCP wants to get it more expensive to hold a POS.
Wasn't in eve one credo? Accomodate yourself to the new situation, or you loose?

I hope, and be nearly convinced that sooner or later Dust will also be available and playable on PC.
Maybe not at the beginning, but later...
In my opinion CCP can't abstain from it, because the game lives from players who have a PC.

And how many Dust-players must the EvE-players await? If there are not enough Dusties to impact the game, can one Dust-player command a bunch of soldiers via a command-system, anyhow? There are so many questions...

My great hope is, that CCP does not aim for more casual players, and EvE motivates the hardcore-ones in the long term as in the past years. Because to get more casual players in the short-term, will maybe mean to loose those who are playing this game in the past.

Casual plays tend to buy a game, play it for some weeks, and then buy the next one...
The future will show, if Dust turns to Dust, and if it will be nothing more than a short flue for EvE ...

And for sure: EvE, Dust514, as well as any other game programmed is intended to make profit, through whatever financial-plan. The exception from this are only private non-profit-projects, and neither EvE nor Dust is one of them... But that is ok, as long as I can extract enough fun for me out of EvE for the money I pay.
Maybe Dust turns into something, which will enrich EvE, maybe not, but this till show only time ...

P.S.: Please excuse my bad english in some lines I wrote

Pay attention next time. They removed that now. After all, you brought up the quote. Just download and play on the spot without paying a penny.

Well some news are slowly tricling in. According to PC Gamer, Dust will intially only affect planets in highsec, at least until next year. So no sovreignty fights on planets just yet.
