A good use to Dust Bunnies

I think it would be interesting to have Dust players be given contracts for two things.

1: planetary conflict - hire dust corps to destroy other players infrastructure on a planet. you could anchor a structure similar to a poco controlling what could and could not be attacked on it kind of like a control center or space port, maybe as an upgrade to a previously installed POCO. yeah i know it might hurt taxes but it would provide more control over a planet and more content for everyone i think.

2: Station conquest - hire dust corps to help take over Stations in null sec (like in the newest trailer), maybe as a mechanic to decrease the time (and boredom) it takes to take a system. again more content and i think we can surely dream up an exciting mechanic to make the infiltration of mercs into a station into a fun process.

Even on PC dust will almost certainly be a clunky sub par FPS. Would be a shame for it to effect more than it does already, boring us FW dudes by making taking systems a needlessly longer (or shorter) process.

It may have it's faults (wouldn't know i don't play it) but i still think its nice we have that option at all. i say don't look at a gift horse in it's mouth.

I love a good FPS, i do resent being compelled to play a bad one.

"compelled " is the flaw in your argument here.


anyway give your opinion on my proposed features not on the quality of Dust. I don't play the game so i can't agree or disagree with you.

If actions in one game cost me in another, for example an extra 4-6 hours of uncontested mind-numbing plexing at the end of a campaign then there is a compulsion to directly or indirectly get involved in that other game.

All links to eve should be severed and dust should be floated away to die. Let people who are good at making FPS, make FPS.

I think that just about covers it.

I'm surprised at the lack of constructive criticism here. These features could actually help make Dust better and more interesting to the rest of EVE. That's my opinion at least. Why not encourage it as a community? help it build?

The problem with dust is not what it does not have. The problem is what it does have is horrible. Adding features will not change that.

As for the community? This is an internet spaceship forum. Just because some imbecile decided to make a bad fps for a group of people that dont exist doesnt mean people have to encourage it.
