Hit a system the other day where local chat said there were 6 people in system, yet there were about thirty to forty names listed. All the names were highlighted and had the same cyber bot looking avatar in their info, but many different corps.
It's buggin me, can anybody explain what the deal is with the highlighting, etc. |

Ahhh, those are our DUST514 brothers doing planetary battle via Play Station game console. They can talk with us here but that's about it. I believe the outcome of their battles have an effect on Sovereignty holding.
For more info do a google search on DUST514.

That was the idea at least. I've never seen them in 0.0 space. (Not even in low sec space) but then I haven't really searched. How much does it influence sov or isn't it?

The DUST514 battles only have an effect for DUST514 I believe, and the only interactions are chat and that Dusties can call for an Orbital Bombardment from EVE Online pilots. |

I believe they can help effect system perks for Factional Warfare systems.
I think DUST514 Mercs should be able to destroy Eve Players PI sites which would definitely have a small effect on Sov. Not being able to maintain and operate PI sites would create the need to hire other DUST514 Merc Corps for retaliation and or defense making DUST514 Mercs much more important.
Anyway, the concept of DUST514 affecting this game is great, however it seems the implementation of it is rather lacking.

iirc the dev presentation from last year's fanfest then CCP was having some issues doing what they wanted to do with dust on a counsole and therefore a network that was not owned by them i.e. PSN. So it seems dust is going to be turned into a PC game and then they will likely go forward with what was planned for it in the past.
However now there is Valkyrie that might be being brought into eve as well. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. |

A few months ago I docked at a highsec station and found that all the other guests were Dust characters.
What's that all about? |

What's that all about? What? The peasants can't use our glorious space faring technology, why wouldnt they all be crammed into the station?

DMC Absolutely positive. When they are not actively in a server shooting eachother in the face they show in station, the have their own little captains quarters, it's tiny.

You can click on your channel settings and choose to "disable infantry" so they won't clutter up your screen and distract you from their wartargets. Frankly I'm surprised there are still any of those guys left, and I doubt they'll be around much longer.

That's CCP giving up on the character creator and just going the Daft Punk route for everyone.
Now you know.

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

A. Blue-background = DUST514 players (on top of the local list it should also list Capsuleer amount + Infantry amount).
B. They are "locked" to certain systems in EVE where they always will be in local.
C. Their battles can affect FW sov status.
D. For the rest, they have 'no use' in EVE.

If the dust guy is in an eve based corp (my dust char is in my alt corp) they show up in the home system of the corp when they log in, really they are in the local of where their corp is based when not dying to orbital strikes or getting shot in the face. |
