Jita Park Speakers Corner

The game Dust 514 holds great potential as to all that could do done to integrate itself into the EVE universe. After having a great conversation with several dust and eve players we came up with a list of features that we believe would make the link that binds these two games much stronger and much more enthralling.

First thing we came up with is taking full advantage of the huge technical improvements on the PS4 to increase the battle size limits if CCP intends on doing the switch over. (to which end I could find no validation that they intend to or do not intend to.)

Secondly added direct interaction between Dust and EVE players such as direct interactions between players (I.E lets say I have my group of 5 friends who are dust players riding in my Algos or a similar ship and having the ability to fly them over the region and have them drop in from orbit in a drop-ship or a fighter class plane)

Thirdly add much needed meaning to the interactions between Dust and EVE by adding a new layer to planetary resources. In EVE's history it tells of how Titans are built mostly from planets so make it where you need to capture planets to gain the needed resources for higher end ships. (with this also add more detail and options to planetary management or even add a planetary management on a corporate scale)

Lastly this goes along with the second point somewhat giving the ability for dust players to be used in the capture of a POS. How I think this would work is initially it would go much like a normal siege of a stations but after you have destroyed their shields and armor you could dispatch a few landing pods from your ship to take over the station instead of destroying it to gain all the items in the station as well as saving you from having to put up a new station. In a defense again this owners of the station could hire contracts to auto-hire mercenaries as well as npc mercenaries to defend the base in an attempt to stop them from getting all your wealth. (or even taking the fight to your ships)

Thanks for taking the time to look through this and I would appreciate input and ideas to revise this before I submit this to the council.

I would like to thank Nistrodin of the World Inc, Xaneks Alucar of The Children of the Rising Moon, and Zavost Stoicum of Extra Dimensional for letting me use their ideas.


(One last major thing I left out was ground based anti ship batteries so dusties have a fighting chance against their overlords)

There's a dust forum. Use that, please. That being said, I support the idea of having war barges in space in EVE. Other than that, don't stab EVE trying to save DUST.
