Apart from the possibility of lol ganking Dust bunnies, this console expansion will be as notable as WIS for me (e.g. frack-all)
I've done some really stupid shit in this game.

Planetary "drive bys"

I have to admit that I love the idea.

So the match starts, and everyone in orbit begins to randomly and without any limitations bombard the battlefield killing 95% of the Dusties on the surface. They respawn and are again killed by this bombardment. This continues until the game times out or everyone disconnects to it. This persists for every match being played everywhere in lowsec and finally the game utterly tanks because nobody really wants to play a Orbital Bombardee for that long. CCP is bankrupted and collapses, New eden dies.

Ultimate PvP win.

Who knew it was possible to do "EVE is dying!" in the future tense.

I was thinking about this ... we know that at launch DUST will only have an impact on high and low-sec planets. Also, and in all honesty, i'm not sure if planetary bombardment will come to the game before null-sec combat. But let's just assume that it does.

Is there any information on how exactly planetary bombardment will work on EVE side?! Will any and all pilots be free to unleash hell on DUST bunnies without any sort of pre-requisites?


When i read Ytterbium post about planetary bombardment destroyers, the idea of suicide ganking planets immediatly came to mind. Obviously we don't know how the mechanics will play out, but if its possible for dest pilots to freely bombard DUST bunnies then this will be hilarious.


Griefing console players will be the quickest way to kill Dust. Horrible idea imo.

GOOD idea in my opinion, CCP needs to not tie DUST and Eve together.

I just turned into an egg, did I level up? I spent an hour trying to salvage a wreck, when in local a guy said "Stop it, this is my Tempest, I was AFK"
