Dont know if this was posted but this is a trailer it seems
http://video.golem.de/games/2283/dust-514-ego-shooter-im-universum-von-eve-online-gamescom-2009.html
After going oooohhhh shiney at the game trailer skip to 3:10 and hear how the console players will directly effect 0.0 sov. 
If you listen carefully, he's saying it will be ONE of the input in sov (emphasis mine). So not the only input, just one of several.
From the german news-byte, you could infer that "orders" to a Dust-group will show up as a sort of quest to them in game. So essentially it allows you to hire dust-teams for conquest operations, but that won't change sov on its own, other inputs will be required.
As for the title: perhaps implying that each death (or "dust" if you will) adds up and that 514 is the maximum a Duster can take before the system fails to work?

This would be a cool concept only if you can bombard the console gamers from orbit, where do I purchase my carpet bombs? :P
You won't need to. A single 1000mm (Dreadnought) Railgun anti-matter shell has a yield of around 87 megatonnes, those probably won't have the range, iron or tungsten might, and a hyperkinetic impact from such a large projectile is going to leave one hell of a crater.

That sounds too sudden...
I want to hit local chat with, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
Then just carpet bomb with nice melty goodness.
Modified Cataclysm Cruise missiles or Inferno Torpedoes?
Given the size of ship they're designed for, you'll basically be dropping thermal ICBMs on the battlefield.
Modify them a bit to not release it all in one go and vaporise the lot, but to just superheat the air to boil them all alive. 
That should also melt everything else quite effectively.
