TL;DR: Make EVE pilots in FW battlefield commanders for Dust.

Lets take long look at this. Mercs aren't tailored for huge, tactical and strategical decision making, because they are constantly being mind ****** by the rapid and frequent mind transfers to new clones. in IRL, the officers, with orbital, aerial and other streams of information available to them, make the critical decisions, whether that be ordering a squad to take/hold a point, retreat, etc.

THE JUICY DETAILS:
What pilots can do:

-Order squads to take/hold certain points, or retreat.
-Can drop supplies/vehicles from orbit/local field bases. (like in battlefield)
-Order orbital bombardments
-Relay tactical information (enemy positions/movements {would be more useful for larger maps and specific game modes, like sieging and capturing a base, not like a closed map area, but like Rush in battlefield, where the combat zone moves on to a different point in the map as the points are captured/destroyed})
-For certain game modes, making the decision on whether or not an extraction team is sent, if successful, lessens the asset/isk loss, if failed, more loss, or, if not sent at all, lessens the loss, but you lose clone count.

i think that this is a great idea. would create more links between EVE and DUST.
