I'm not really sure where to put this but I was watching some extra credits about interactivity between different games. Dust and Eve were talked about. I started realizing just how amazing it will be to have two separate game types interlinked. This made me think of other ways they could be used. My idea though is more interactivity between the eve and dust communities. One way to achieve this would be lets say you have a couple buddies who play dust. Now obviously they like their FPS's. What if you could have them board your ship to help with different things. They could take over turrets and help with aiming, in a literal sense they would become part of your crew. If you are going into a major fleet battle why not bring along some of your good friends to sit in your ship and aim your guns. It could include an automated targetting system. You could factor in turret tracking as well. So with bigger ships the turning on the guns would move slower and smaller ships they would move faster. Or they could do something to help with your capacitor, it would be like the in station experience and you could set up puzzles or whatever. They could literally be right there with you taking on thousands of other players and who knows, they could be the reason your side wins. This would take a lot of programming to start off with just to keep it in a real time situation. I figured I would share this and see what people thought and you guys seem to be big on giving us a voice and listening.
If this is the wrong area though, feel free to move it to the proper one. Thanks.

I really wish life would end so i could have more time for eve.

First off, wrong forum. Second, it's been suggested before and it's not possible with the game's engine and nowhere near worth the amount of work it would require. Multiple people in one ship isn't going to happen.
