You mentioned PSV support, can you give us any more details? Would this also only be for DUST or could we be looking at also interacting with EVE-Online through the PSV?
CCP Shadow:
At present, those plans are DUST 514-only, but itÆs still a bit too soon for us to reveal anything concrete with what will be possible.

Will there be a beta before it ships? If so, can you guarantee that IÆll be a part of it? This looks hot.
CCP Shadow:
WeÆre not announcing the specifics quite yet, but yes there will be a beta.

CCP Shadow:
Thanks Kyuss. And our goal is really to extend the EVE universe to a whole new group of gamers, and of course weÆre hoping a great number of EVE Online players also get in on the action in DUST 514.

The REGIS has been waiting for this game for over 2 years. The REGIS hopes this game will live up to itÆs potential. Where can The REGIS sign up for the BETA.
I am the Replicant Engineered for Galactic Infiltration and Sabotage MK V.
CCP Shadow:
The REGIS will get info about beta signups once we get to that point. Also, we suspect The REGIS will soon see DUST 514 living up to said potential.

I was under the impression that this would be a free PC game, is there any future plan to make it for pc for those of us that canÆt afford a PS3 and already play eve online?

Originally by: Pharon Reichter So.... why did you do it ? why PS3 only ?
Two reasons: we found the PS3 to be MMO-friendly, but from a game design perspective there's a whole lot of very wonderful things the console brings to the table. While we can't entirely discuss this at this particular time, we'll be speaking more about it during the week during the myriad interviews we are conducting this week at E3.

Originally by: Tgebbs
Sorry to ask this, since I know thereÆs a section specifically dealing with this, but just to clear it up.. the interactions in Dust 514 are actually taking place within the same EVE online gamespace / universe? Not just in fiction but in real player actions?
Apologies if thatÆs difficult to understand.
Anyway, I love the sound of this, persistent world shooter. mmmm. CanÆt wait to get my hands on it.
CCP Shadow:
Tgebbs, thatÆs correct. DUST 514 isnÆt just an EVE Online-themed persistent shooter, it actually shares the same virtual galaxy with EVE Online pilots (called capsuleers). The planets seen and interacted with by EVE Online capsuleers are the planets that DUST mercs fight it out on.
Player actions will ripple between both games, and DUST 514 players will have an impact on the EVE universe just as EVE Online players do.

Originally by: ShoryukenII
I recently got the EVE trial after reading some rumours about this and the game is not for me (but I love the ISK and the things it makes people do like piracy). This game looks perfect for me. I do have a few questions.
If you have decided on how many players, are you allowed to tell us? (if so tell us =D) When you talk about virtual items do you mean people can pay real money to unlock weapons and vehicles or do they pay ISK to unlock these things? Or are you guys using a renting system similar to free to play FPSÆs? Is these a tactical teambased game (with classes)? Or is it run and gun?
Sorry if you have answered these in the article. I didnÆt bother reading it because I watched the reveal on the live stream.
CCP Shadow:
Hey Shoryukenll,
YouÆve asked a few things I canÆt delve too deeply into, but what I can comment on is what you said about virtual items and real money. DUST 514 will support purchases made through both in-game earned currency and real money currency.

Never really heard of this game, but definitely interested. The persistence and strong economy really stand out from every other shooter coming out this year, and I thank you for making map packs free and using the sale of virtual goods for funding. Will keep an eye on this game, as well as this studio.
CCP Shadow:
Excellent, glad to hear that. We donÆt charge for expansions in EVE Online, nor do we plan to charge for DUST 514 expansions. ItÆs how we roll at CCP. ;)

Can we begin clan recruitment through EVE Gate?
CCP Shadow:
EVE Gate will absolutely be a useful tool for recruitment in the future. Our plan is to bring DUST 514 players into EVE Gate and itÆs part of our strategy for supporting a single shared community of EVE and DUST players.

Originally by: sobeyondhelp
How varied will the map terrain be? Being able to fight on 10,000s of planets is awesome but if there are only a dozen map variants for each type of planet the scenery will get old fast.
Will fighting be able to take place on hostile planets (barren, lava, ice, plasma, etc) or will it be limited to the temperates? Bonus feature for being able to fight on the floating installations of gas giants and oceanic planets!
Also, Capsuleers want to shot at the Dust Warbarges (at least damage them a little bit) :D
CCP Shadow
If I had my way, every map would be dotted with Icelandic volcanoes.

@Bloody_Marcel there will be Move support? The article did not say anything about Move support. Would be pretty awesome though. Hope it is optimized for the Sharpshooter.

IÆm a little concerned about your statement that youÆll buy weapons and equipment through microtransaction. It sounds a lot like ôbuying a winö, which was something CCP has stated in the past that they wished to avoid.
Any comments on this?
CCP Shadow:
No, it wonÆt be possible to ôbuy a winö. The first DUST 514 dev blog from our Creative Director CCP Praetorian addresses this in greater detail than IÆm able to here:

IÆm soooo disappointed that this is a PS3 exclusive!!! Why no PC version??? What happens when the PS3 platform ends?? As a current EVE player, i think itÆs a big mistake on CCPÆs part to exclude PC users from being able to take control of this aspect of THEIR game universe.

CCP Shadow:
There will not be a monthly fee to play DUST 514. The game will be supported by virtual goods sales, but of course you can play the game and buy gear with the currency you earn in-game through your successes in combat.

Originally by: barter9
You said it all in your opening statement. This is the kind of shooter game IÆve wanted to play for a long, long time. Star Wars Battlefront had the basic idea and if you go back there have been different versions of the same thing, be they turn based, flight sim or FPS.
One thing I would like (and therefore, like to know) is the option to pilot vehicles either as an individual or as part of a crew. This could be jets, starfighters, command platforms, artillery, tanks, assault vehicles, etc. They could be run solo or with friends as part of a team who share in the spoils of their successful employ. Think this sort of thing will happen or are we looking a little more exclusively at the merc. grunts in this story.
Another question this brings to mind is the connection between your pay as a mercenary and the equipment you can buy from this virtual economy. Will there be a crossover between your digital wallet and the real world cash you put into the game (say a 10 : 1 ratio or something like that)?
Keep moving forward, this is one game that is high on my radar!
CCP Shadow:
About vehicles ù all IÆll say is that every vehicle you saw in the Pale Red Dot trailer was piloted by a player.

in the trailer you showed, i couldnÆt tell if the gun was shooting bullets or if it was an energy weapon. the muzzle flash looked blueish, but the ôbulletsö flying through the air looked like actual bullets
CCP Shadow:
ThatÆs a hybrid weapon that fires plasma bolts, something which should be quite familiar to capsuleers in EVE Online. Particularly if youÆve been on the receiving end.

Looks impressive, and I have been following since FF 2009. <3
I demand you put the EVE Future Vision on the Dust website.
My question: 1)Will Dust use the new EVE-gate forums (Which are currently being worked on)? I want to be able to talk on official forums about dust!
2) Will there be a Dustelopedia or will it share the evelopedia?
4)Player Skills In EVE, skills were obtained over time through the training queue. Will something similar exist in Dust, or will skill progression occur from battles and experience?
Thank you for answering our questions, from your NO. 1 fansite ;)
CCP Shadow:
Hey Hublebubble,
IÆll take a stab at what I can here.
DUST 514 will be tied in with EVE Gate further down the road.
DUST 514 on EVElopedia û I honestly donÆt have the answer on that just yet. ItÆs something thatÆs still being discussed.

Ive been a Eve player for a little over a year, and i must say the game continues to get better and better. Dust 514 looks to be a truly amazing game. Have you guys ever considered having Dust players controlled by one Eve player to board another Eve players ship to fight over control of the ship because that would just be down right AMAZING!!!(and give a new definition to piracy)
CCP Shadow:
Ideas of this nature were discussed at the past EVE Online Fanfest in Reykjavik. Needless to say, we loved what we heard, but at this time ship boarding is not what weÆre focused on. DUST 514 is focused on planetary combat.

Originally by: Max Gades Edited by: Max Gades on 07/06/2011 03:53:25 why am i going to buy a game thats with a company that cant keep its online server safe from hacking or keep it up and online? second is the dust 514 server going to be just like the sony online server? supposably unhackable? thanks i like keeping my personal information as my own. so answer the question of secruirty for dust514 and i might consider having second thoughs of no bother waisting money for another game system just to play it exclusivly... answer that please?
There is no such thing as completely unhackable, there are merely degrees of hackability. Anyone telling you otherwise is blowing rays of sunshine in your eye. That's merely an academic statement. We will speak more about the interaction between EVE and Dust in the near future as it becomes more final.
As I stated here http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1523611&page=3#88 we aren't currently planning on pushing any of your EVE related information to Sony.

notice how every post of secruity that been brought us has been ignored.....
and agreed $60 less from may pocket. but more like $400+ if i was to even bother to play dust because i'd have to get a ps3 and there isnt a point because ps4 is what next year?
oh and another question CCP is the EVE players accounts going to be in any RELATION CONNECTED TO THE PLAYSTATION NETWORK?
I've actually responded to every security-related question I've seen so I'm not sure what you mean about being ignored. The answer to your question may now be found linked thrice in this thread and again NOW |

ôDUST 514 will support purchases made through both in-game earned currency and real money currency.ö
This sounds like the whole ôCan-only-get-the-GOOD-stuff-if-you-actually-pay-for-itö deal.
CCP Shadow:
Nope. It wonÆt work like that, weÆre going to have a balanced system. There will be a secondary market with player-to-player trading. A player can buy virtual goods with real world currency, put it on the market, which can be bought by a player with in-game earned currency. This is explained in greater detail in CCP PraetorianÆs dev blog here: http://www.dust514.com/en/news/article/1980/beginnings

IÆm asking this completely honest: I donÆt care about the MMO universe, what is the hook or appeal for me a non-MMO shooter fan? Yes, I know of the link. No, I donÆt care. What is there to appeal to me with games like Call of Duty or Battlefield or other shooters (some sci-fi, most not) coming out?
CCP Shadow:
The most compelling aspect of DUST 514 is that your battles are meaningful. You conquer territory working with EVE players, or you can do the same with your fellow DUST 514 mercs. DUST 514 is a persistent world, something that other titles out there just donÆt offer.

Originally by: Gypsy RoseLee I would never trust Sony with my personal information, you just guaranteed that I'll never play Dust 514. The direction you have taken Eve Online in the last couple years, your disregard for personal privacy and security when deploying the new forums was as bad, if not worse than Sony's recent security breaches.
All three of my paid accounts as of now are canceled. Vote with your wallets people, how else will CCP get the message.
To clarify, as has been stated repeatedly, your personal information was never at risk on the forums. |

I like the look of the game but the EVE Online interaction just brings up a lot of questions.
The main one being, what incentives to players have if they donÆt play EVE? I see a lot of benefits to Dust 514 if you operate in the EVE universe but why will players pick up this FPS over others that are out or coming out (especially with all the new announcements from E3)?
CCP Shadow:
Adrance, the people that DUST 514 will most appeal to are those who want something different from the latest FPS title that they play for a few months, perhaps through a DLC map pack, and move on. DUST 514 is a persistent setting that your actions influence and shape. ThatÆs really what DUST offers that differs from whatÆs currently out there.

As you can currently see on Sisi they already have a very basic looking kind of Vanity item shop.

Well, the real personal information wasnt on risk, thats true. The real danger was that you could log in with a different char by changing your Char ID in the Cookies (afaik) and that you inject code to modify the page (creating a log in page to gain account data).
If nothing ever was on risk, why was it removed that fast?
Because it was broken? The code injection only allowed for a limited HTML subset. The login page information people were provided was erroneous as it was not possible. I'll see if I can dig up my dev blog on the subject that explains exactly this. |

This game looks amazing and i love the idea of the game effecting EVE online and vice versa. It gives the game dynamic and depth. Please say there is gonna be a clan option and i dont mean option and i dont mean were you just put tags on i mean actual Clan management were we can invite members and have wars. That would bring alot of interest and players to your game. I cant wait to play when it releases.
CCP Shadow:
Corporations are an important aspect of DUST 514, and there is far more depth to the system than simply æinvite to ClanÆ tools. Corps are a core aspect of the social gameplay that DUST 514 and EVE Online both offer.

How much of that "Influence" will the DUST player notice? Since they are just ground units they shouldnt care much and only the EVE player can feel/see the influence.
CCP Shadow:
The most compelling aspect of DUST 514 is that your battles are meaningful. You conquer territory working with EVE players, or you can do the same with your fellow DUST 514 mercs.

Originally by: Mallikanth Edited by: Mallikanth on 07/06/2011 07:06:38 Sounds like it could be fun for PS3 owners. A few q's if I may...
How about different planetary environments - lava, water planets etc? Different gravity? How will the Mercs get their jobs? Will they always work for Capsuleers? Own any assets of their own? How will eve players be able to interact with the ground forces, other than just hiring them in the first place(Planetary strikes etc)?
Shame I just bought an Xbox.
These questions are going to be covered in the future dev blogs leading up to the beta and launch, so stay tuned and make sure to check the DUST website for updates.

Originally by: Gnulpie Edited by: Gnulpie on 07/06/2011 08:14:57 Some gameplay questions and how that EVE/DUST-Link will work.
- Is there a single market for both EVE and DUST players?
- Can EVE players sell items to DUST players? Can DUST players sell items to EVE players?
- I read that DUST players will be able to use AURUM for their microtransactions. Are these AUR in any way connected to the EVE-Incarna AUR (besides sharing the same name)? If so, are those AUR tradeable between EVE and DUST?
- Can we please have some more information on what DUST players can do with/to the EVE Universe? And vice versa?
Thank you!
This has the potential to be extremely awesome. And people screaming here, think. Via DUST our beloved EVE is promoted to quite some more folks, maybe some of them join EVE, so that is already a good side effect right now.
There will be two separate markets; as for the rest of the questions, they will be answered in the future DUST 514 dev blogs on the official website.

Originally by: Aineko Macx How are you dealing with around-the-world network latency? Or won't it matter because players are gonna play with blunt tools like joypads?
There will be a network of battle servers hosted around the world. These servers will host individual DUST matches and feed the data into the main EVE Online cluster.

Originally by: Dennie Fleetfoot CCP have consistently claimed that Dust was multiformat.
The console specs haven't changed. We can all assume correctly then that there has been until recently, fully working beta's for PC, Xbox and PS3.
I have not read a single technical explanation as yet as to why the change to PS3 exclusivity, that I have not heard before from other developers in similar situations. Not one.
So until we get a full public denial from CCP, I and many others I'd imagine are going to take it as read that money has been exchanged.
I've no problem with that by the way. Business is business.
To pretend otherwise however, that I do have a problem with.
From the very first days, DUST 514 was announced as a console-based game. As for PS3 exclusivity, simply speaking, we found the platform to be more MMO-friendly. DUST 514 is a unique project in many ways û not least in the way it will interact with EVE û and PlayStation 3 suited our needs perfectly.

Hey folks.
A lot of you already know me from when I was solely focused on EVE Online, but some months back I began to shift focus to DUST 514, as the Community Manager for this upcoming game.
Lot of activity in here. I'll try to address the questions and concerns I'm able to here, but let's try to keep it civil.
I can fully appreciate some of the criticism and complaints I'm seeing in this and other threads. I do listen to all of it and, sure, I can relate to some of it. All of these concerns are and will continue to be relayed to those higher in the food chain, as we do on the EVE Community side of things.
I'll speak to what I'm able to here. I'm going to be direct here though - there are some topics I simply cannot discuss and I'm not going to beat around the bush with that -- I am not discussing anything regarding the Business Development side of things. From what I've seen in the EVE-O threads, that means I'm not able to explain contractual details, 'exclusivity', and things of this nature.
I'm not going to elaborate upon the specific game mechanics between EVE Online and DUST 514 that haven't been discussed yet. That's for Game Design and some of the senior people working on DUST 514 to do - and that's slated to happen over the course of the next year leading up to launch.
Incidentally, the official sources of information you can refer to about DUST 514 are:
The official DUST 514 website
And at the official website, I'd recommend you specifically read the dev blog by our Creative Director CCP Praetorian.
The dev blog from CEO of CCP Games Hilmar Petursson, which I should hope you've read anyway if you're in the comments here. But in case you were linked to this discussion thread from somewhere else, this is it.
My blog at PlayStation, which is an introduction for those not familiar with the EVE setting but perhaps has some useful information for EVE Online players as well.
So like I said, I'm going to jump in for a bit here.

In one of the news releases you have stated that the game would either be on the Xbox or cross platformed. Being a loyal player, I have actually bought the damn Xbox just because the CCP said the game would be there.
Then you have sort of frozen the project and I thought "well, sooner or later they will make it, so I stick with the Xbox". Now it is a PS3 game. Cool. I have bought the damn Xbox for nothing.
Actually it was me and at least 3 of my friends who did it. Thanks again. Very MUCH.
Cite your source.
We have never stated this title would be coming to Xbox 360 in a DUST 514 press release.

Originally by: Blane Xero CCP Shadow, In your opinion, not asking for iron facts just trying to get a feel of some idea of what is going on in the thinking process, what is the logic behind having no PC release?. I know about the whole "We don't want to compete with ourselfs" and similarly silly notions, but do you have a personal take on it?
Hi Blane. Been a while.
Alright. Well this is less of my personal take on things as it is the reasons, although this has already been stated in the past.
Our goal, stated on numerous occasions over the years, is to bring the EVE universe to a wider gaming audience through DUST 514 as a console title. A new platform. Shooters were the ideal way to do this while adding some diversity to how the EVE setting is experienced, rather than finding some way to put EVE Online on a console. Tbh, I have no idea how that would even work in the first place -- not impossible, but certainly very difficult.
So, as an EVE Online player, playing on PC or Mac, some view DUST 514 on console rather than PC as some peculiar lack of focus, etc.
What is being ignored with that criticism is that key thing we've stated time and time again -- we're reaching out to new players, expanding the playerbase actively involved in the EVE universe. Just as we've said all along. On console, as we've said all along. So I'm not sure why this comes as such a surprise to some commenters so far.
PC vs. console, PC vs. Mac, PS3 vs. 360, vanilla vs. chocolate, cats vs. dogs, pirates vs. ninjas. There's no way any single group of people can be expected to see eye to eye about all things. Please note that I'm not making light of these concerns at all - we are paying attention to this- but just stating the reality. Everyone has their preferred platform, everyone has their own preferences.
Some may disagree with CCP's decision, and that is duly noted. That is and will continue to be conveyed to those higher up in the company than me. That's part of my job as Community Manager for DUST 514. I'm not going to stop keeping my finger on the pulse of what people are discussing about DUST 514 (and its connections to EVE Online). I'm not going to stop informing my bosses of what matters to you.
Those who are unhappy about DUST 514 not being on the PC platform may take little comfort from this, but I want you to know this, regardless.

I like it, been looking for a good reason to buy a playstation anyway. Apart from the gaming it is an nice media platform.
Although the security issues are worrying I'd guess that sony recently invested a huge amount of money to make sure this stuff won't happen again, otherwise they'd be finished.
Cross platform seemed to me to be a pipedream, as far as I know XBOX is very restrictive about this. All things considered PS3 is a logical choice.
I look foward to the interaction of rifles versus dreadnaughts. I love the fact that they are writing chronicles for this also!
QUESTION: Will there be an eve themed ps3 package for sale?
Cool.
Yeah, DUST Chronicles will be released, in CCP Remnant's own words, "fortnightly".
If there have been talks about some sort of console, controller, or peripheral branded with the EVE IP (including DUST 514), I've never heard of this. But again, I'm not involved in business development here. Some players brought this idea up at the EVE-DUST Link Roundtable at the last Fanfest and there were some good ideas expressed.

Originally by: GeeShizzle MacCloud Edited by: GeeShizzle MacCloud on 08/06/2011 12:45:19 hey shadow! glad to see ur taking the time to answer question in here... i appreciate theres some things you cannot tell us yet about it.
one of my main questions at the moment is one of unfair advantage.
Q: is CCP/the DUST514 dev team seriously looking into FPS anti-cheat software or some way to curb the age old aimbotters/wallhackers that you tend to get on FPS games? as incentives and possible rewards(if u can call it that) for cheaters will be far greater than any other current FPS game.
Q: will you be coding in a sort of single player boot camp/Quake 3 arena single player style part for players to practice and still enjoy DUST514 when either Sonys network has outages or you have local internet issues?
Q: in terms of eve online/DUST 514's interaction with each others economy, will there actually be a believable level of scale that corresponds with the amount of materials and size of items? For example will there be an absurd situation where a tank requires more m3 of parts/higher cost than a T1 frigate even though the frigate is a bajilion times larger than the tank?
cheers for your time m8!
Hey, no problem. I meant to get in here last night but it had been a 14 hour day by that point. So, catching up a bit.
Unfortunately, what you said about there being things I cannot discuss yet applies here. Not because it's supersekrit info so much as I'm not someone who can speak about anti-cheating measures built into the game, though of course that's sure to be a question the DUST 514 team will be asked more often as we near launch.
As to the second question, DUST 514 isn't a single player game. It's really all about the online interaction and getting involved with the setting. Much like we don't have an offline version of EVE Online, barring hamster strikes.
The economy questions - and there are really a lot of them I've seen or been asked directly - are ones that will be answered in dev blogs at DUST514.com by our economist working on this title. I don't have an ETA on those as there are a number of topics we'll be addressing in the DUST 514 dev blogs.
Sorry, I wish I had more solid answers to these that I could provide.

Originally by: Dongo Lars I'd like to know more about PS Vita running DUST. I keep running into that but no serious info really. Will it be possible to play on Vita with PS3 players? What I got from E3 it looks like Vita can do a lot of stuff on that front (PS3 compatibility)
Buying PS3 in 2012 isn't really smart for me (just because of DUST for that matter) but this new PSP seems nice ...
Dongo, I can't pass along solid details of how PS Vita can add-on to DUST 514. But I do want to clarify that DUST 514 itself isn't designed to be played on PS Vita, the goal there is to have the potential to extend DUST 514 out into the Sony 'ecosystem' beyond the PS3, which includes PS Vita and PlayStation Home.

Originally by: Rakrent Xeres Hm. Putting Dust on the PC would only have two games fighting it out for the same player base. Putting it on the PS3 allows for a whole new demographic, plus I'm assuming the PS hardware is better for the EVE universe's higher end graphic specs. I was starting to worry it wouldn't be a genuine EVE experience - but the rabble rousing in this thread have certainly put that worry to rest. No new feature in EVE is complete without the necessary prerequisite weeping, wailing and the dire predictions of impending disaster.
Planets shoot back? Awesome! I'd better get cracking and skill up on Dreads then, eh? Good luck, fellas!

Crimson splatters and streaks are colorful, right?

A quote just before I made another WoD joke - it's too much like coincidence!
Are can flippers not vampires? (I've heard of some vampires too weak to hunt humans)
I read your mind. Also, to "Are can flippers not vampires?", I guess my response is that not all parasites are vamps.

Perhaps better to think of it less as "on PS Vita" as there being some (optional) extensions of DUST 514 into the PlayStation ecosystem, so that would also include PlayStation Home. More info on this to come SOON.

Originally by: MoonglumX I can't wait for Dust. I think putting it on PS3 makes sense, but that's just me.
I do have one question, reading the Dust blog it sounds like EVE-like game complexity will work the same in Dust such as managing fits, finances, and skills. Will Dust still be accessible to people who are used to today's FPS games where you just choose a job, configure your gun, and jump into the fight?
Our goal there is to provide a really visceral shooter experience, but give people the tools to loadout in different ways, bring more tactical aspects to their gameplay. You can just hop in, run and gun with a standard loadout, but the possibilities are there for more varied loadouts and tactics if players want this.

Hi Tres Farmer. You might've missed this earlier in the thread, but when I hopped in here I said that I cannot discuss the specifics of game mechanics. And damn, those are some very specific questions.
Some great ones too. One of which we were just discussing this afternoon. But these are the sorts of things that will be revealed in the year leading up to launch by the people who are actually creating the game, the ones who've designed these systems and their connections with EVE Online. It's not just a matter of stealing thunder from my colleagues... I don't know the answers to a few of those. Especially #18.
Sorry man. I'm really only able to speak about the game in a very broad sense. More details are being revealed by our producers, our creative director, and others at E3. We're listing media coverage in this sticky thread here.
Though about the P.S. part. Yes, there will always be a dev blog or two in the pipeline. I do know the next one but it's a surprise.

My apologies to everyone who said nothing of the sort, then.
There are a number of lingering concerns over how DUST will connect to EVE, and getting those questions clarified would be greatly appreciated, especially in regards to Micro-Transactions. The possibility of non-vanity Micro-transactions affecting the gameplay of EVE Online, either directly or through DUST, has caused a considerable amount of revulsion in myself and others. Sorry about the emotional spillover.
No problem.
And of course people want to know all the specifics of how EVE Online and DUST 514 connect. We understand that and you'll get all of this, but there is one year before launch. That's a full year of dev blogs, interviews, news items, and so on. We've made the platform announcement and shed some light on the connections, but there will be much more revealed over the course of the next year.
All I can ask is that you sit tight, and keep an eye on the official website www.DUST514.com for more of that info you're seeking.
Thanks.
