Of course, but remember you are talking about captial ship guns trying to hit a target orders of magnitude smaller than a frigate. Enjoy missing every time.

Ummmm.... "Splash Damage"?

Lol

I assume that it will require target painting on the ground, perhaps on a cooldown.

Also, skyfire batteries

Also anything smaller than dreadnought guns could simply not make it through the planet's atmosphere.

Edit to add: I don't think CCP will allow us to interact with the dust bunnies much...

Stop thinking

Read the devblogs

Realize your failure.

Yo seriously Zim I like you, but you're not making sense right now.

Mostly I'm just annoyed with being left out like this, especially when you know that EVE is already a well-established brand on the PC, and as such would have an instant path to an already established (and probably pretty fiercely loyal) customer base right there.

That, and the fact that I'm just highly sceptical of the staying power of, and interest from, console players in a game like this, especially when losses actually hurt.

I do hope that the game isn't a miserable failure, if only for CCP's sake, but I do wish they'd reconsider and publish it on the PC instead.

Cyno's lit, bridge is up, but one pilot won't be jumping home.

I am too but then I realized that paying whatever a pawn shop PS3 is going to be worth in two years is much better than buying a PC that can run a CCP coded multiplayer FPS.

I disagree with ship boarding, the point of ship boarding is that it would take too much resources to actually sink said ship.

Followed by the mordern warfare standard of sinking a ship very damned fast.

Player Outposts in space however is very concievable to have boarders trying to take over the station

You want Dust 514 to be console only. In the UK you can pick up a new 160GB PS3 for 150 quid. Eve players will multi box it and play for free by feeding resources to their dust characters (not to mention the huge edge eve players will have in terms of fitting and knowing how resists and stuff work).

Even minimally, if they get 2000 regular players to begin with, at peak time, it will be a positive game experience for everyone.

Dust players don't mine
They don't sit in high sec doing nothing.
They don't sit idle in station for hours at a time.
They don't sit in in your space cloaked up while watching the thunder cats.

Dust players come online to shoot other dust players in the face, non-stop, all the time. They be in your base stealin/defendin your stuffs.

And like eve the subscriber base will grow.

Thats how I see it going.

How will we talk to the PS3 people?


We will shoot with our dreadnaught cannons at them -> they'll just need to know how morse code works... And hope they don't die before we send the entire message.

If you look in overview filter settings there is a subsection for Planetary Interaction and in there it has references to Mercenaries.

IMO, I think Dust should have an influence on SOV. It only makes sense; space superiority is great, but you can't take and hold without boots on the ground. Not end-all-be-all, but it should offer an edge.
