Sounds like a massive scam to squeeze more money out of 0.0 players. Anyone who holds sov or ever wants to will have to play this - and in a fight between 2 alliances, consider what would happen if one of them just pays mercs while the other both pays mercs and joins the FPS fight themselves. The big alliances will be forced to maintain a large portion of their membership's subscriptions to Dust so that they can keep control of their sovereign space, or else they risk losing it. Congratz, CCP, on this cynical ploy to make money. You do well.
Personally I hope this particular mechanic never sees the light of day.

I don't care about little kids at all. What I do care about is exactly how the soc mechanic will be affected. If we're all forced to buy this to defend or capture sov space, it'll be a travesty.

That's a pretty blatant misrepresentation of the problem. No one has much of an issue with 13-year-old brats snatching sovereign space. What's ****ing everyone off is the idea that people who AREN'T PLAYING EVE can snatch sovereign space. And if you're not paying enough ISK, you can't do jack about it.

Originally by: Grumples McGee
Originally by: Trent Nichols To CCP: Planetary control and planet based sov is what many players want but not like this! Eve players and only Eve players should determine what territory they control.
The thing you're not getting is that DUST is a subset of EVE.
All those DUST players will, in fact, be EVE players. They are in the EVE universe fighting for EVE planets and EVE goals. So EVE players will determine system ownership, but they might be doing it partially through DUST.
However: * Far more sensible would be that owning a planet trumps owning a large POS. * Whoever controls the most planets gains SOV. * Attacks on planets (via DUST) would have to be started via EVE, perhaps by literally dropping troops onto the planet (e.g., you buy "2000 marines" and then drop them. If the enemy has also dropped marines then the planet shows up in DUST as an available battlefield. Perhaps it's 20 vs 20 but your side has 2000 spawns and the enemy has however many spawns they dropped.)
So to control sov, large 0.0 alliances must purchase this new game and possibly a console for every member. Are we starting to see the problems?
