Currently, player alliance sovereignty (regional control) is tied to maintaining numerous player-owned structures across different solar systems to establish a territory as belonging to that alliance, and as shown on the game's star map. Since DUST 514 is set in the same galaxy as the core MMO, with the same planets, EVE players will have the option of contracting DUST (player) mercenaries to gain control of planets.
Hilmar said, "DUST battlefields will dictate who control specific planets inside the EVE MMO. If a player contracts a DUST mercenary team to go and conquer this district of a planet. Then ultimately he will be able to control the planet, and therefore the solar system, and therefore the constellation, and the region."
He explained more about the interplay between EVE Online and DUST 514. Hilmar said, "You will increasingly have to fight with your fleet [in EVE Online] but you will also have to contract people who play DUST, the console MMO, which then feeds into the sovereignty control system of EVE. Then EVE feeds back into that again by funding the mercenaries, giving them goals." In a nod to Starship Troopers, he said, "The fleet does the flying, the infantry does the dying."

I highly doubt that people will be able to fight for every habitable planet in eve =o that's alot of levels for CCP to design lol.
I thought it was based around the Empire factions and not 0.0 alliance stuff? (mind you i havent read into it much) _________________________________________________

Instead of pos warfare we can now spin ships waiting for our team of DUST players to win a campaign.
Now if they are actually gonna introduce walking in stations during my life time I can make new friends while other people play the game for me.

As long as the space holding alliances can control the deployment of their mighty 13 year old xbox warriors it might be okay, but these 1337 halo lolcatz better not be able to affect sov politics in any serious way outside of the current mechanics.
I know the current sov system sucks and all, but I don't think "let the prepubescent boys figure it out" was what everyone's looking for. c/d

i assume it will only come out on one or the other of the ps or xbox. either way i think alot of eve players will either quit because the game they are playing is now controled by others outside of eve. or it will force people who already spend many hours a day maintaining a large alliance to play another game to maintain the same thing that they where doing before.
either way it will be alot of quiting ,or alot of divorces, or abandon kids sitting in their yard waiting on their father to come play catch with them since he is now spending all day at his comp to maintain his alliance, or finally alot more kids failing out of school due to addiction to mmo and now a fps.
other than thoses things, great idea ccp.

Aside from meaning to say "you're", your point is completely valid. I think. If the argument is whether or not this will make it easier to take space, the alliances who already own space (and more specifically, R64's), will be able to fund these campaigns much easier than any band of merry pretenders.
Which, I mean, is fine. Except, I don't want to get into a scenario where someone can just dump 500 billion onto Dust 514 and take over a region where the defenders can't do anything about it.
Also, boy is this going to be an Isk sink.

This could completely wipe out the goons existence on EVE. Think about it. The goons generally suck at twitch based combat games and EVE is the only MMO where they were able to get a foothold into actually doing something, and even this came at the discretion of someone completely out of their alliance. So if I bring all my buddies on XBL to play this game and we completely destroy all the worthless goons every time they step foot onto our battlefield they will never get high sovereignty in Delve. This could be awesome. I hope the gameplay is on par with other shooters that are prepped to launch in the coming months so this actually matters.

Dust looks and sounds fantastic, right up to the point he says an FPS will determine SOV in EVE. I know the kind of people who play console FPS games and I have no desire to interact with them in any way, much less in Eve. This great looking game sounds like it will be the worst thing CCP has done to Eve since I started playing 3 years ago.
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.

This will either be revolutionary and awesome, or fail miserably.
Either way, I think it is pretty ballsie on CCP's part to even try it.... I hope it works out for them.
Ultimately though, I think this game/concept needs to be fully integrated into EvE or it will fail. And get it away from the gaming console.
Integrate something sort of like MechWarrior into EvE for Ground combat. Utilize the Bridging/Cyno concept to position your ground forces onto planets. Make a module in space that you could put up to block inserting troops. Killing this would alert the enemy of your intentions, and then in an hour or so, it would drop and the ground battle could begin. So then you could possibly get a Ship-Ship fight or ground combat. Then make it realistic, with bombardment being possible, as well as anti-ship fire from the planets surface.
Would be cool to see a parallel battle taking place.
I could see something like that adding to the overall experience.
Although I hate the idea of it being a Console FPS.

I don't know of any awesome console FPS that can stand toe to toe with a PC based FPS.
Everyone here knows that EVE Online has issues, bugs and discovery of exploits that were not thought of during game design. Thankfully there are patches to remedy most problems.
So now we are going take all that and get it right on a PS3?
This idea would take off on a PC. The Market is already established on a PC.
Why limit yourself and increase the chances of fail.

Four things:
1. The reason that CCP is doing this is because they are greedy money grubbing ****. Another game which you HAVE to play to be successful at EVE is just another hand going in my wallet to grab my $$$$.
2. This will NOT make a pinch of difference for controlling R64 moons. Big rich alliances will have a significant advantage in maintaining/paying for sov control.
3. I would only approve of this idea if it was for the control of STATIONS ONLY. That would be cool. (Eg. Conquest map of mothership in UT 2004).
4. If this game is not playable on a PC then CCP can go die in a gigantic fire.

I for one welcome our new 14-year-old FPS overlords.
This is a big change, but it doesn't take my ships or my alliance mates away, and those are the important things.
So now I'll need to send ISK to real-world players on the planets instead of dumping it into tower spam to hold sov? Sounds like an improvement to me.

Hey folks, why not being a bit more constructive and feed CCP with some ideas how you want (or want not) this DUST 514 interact with Eve?
Lots of people say that they don't want Dust being able to completely determine the sov? But what else would they like to see? That Dust is completely independent from Eve? That it only partly counts towards sov and if so, how? That you need to support 'your' dust team with supplies and strategical commands?

1: I understand that releasing Dust on consuls will allow CCP to expand their player base but I think they also need to release it on for the PC or there will be a lot of Eve players who won't be interested in playing it.
2: For those of us already paying $15 a month to play Eve the idea of paying another monthly fee to play Dust is unappealing. I hope there will be some sort of joint account option where you can get a dust account with your Eve api for a reduced monthly fee (or better yet no additional fee )
3: While what happens in Dust needs to be important enough that players are interested in it, events in Eve need to remain the focus. In other words changes in system sovereignty needs to ultimately be determined by the outcomes of fleet battle in Eve. An alliance should have to gain military superiority in space before they can launch a planetary assault to grab system sovereignty.
The bottom line is that the emphasis has to stay on Eve and Dust should just be an interesting and moderately important side thing. Control over how the game world progresses needs to continue to rest first and foremost with the capsuliers in Eve not the infantry in Dust.

I don't know of any awesome console FPS that can stand toe to toe with a PC based FPS.
Everyone here knows that EVE Online has issues, bugs and discovery of exploits that were not thought of during game design. Thankfully there are patches to remedy most problems.
So now we are going take all that and get it right on a PS3?
This idea would take off on a PC. The Market is already established on a PC.
Why limit yourself and increase the chances of fail.
Killzone 2, rivals anything out on the PC right now in terms of shooters. Even did away with the ****ty deadzone aim-aid that so many console FPS's have, so if you suck, you just suck, and there is no aim helper to help out.
That really isn't the point though. Having a console FPS have anything to do with sov inside of EVE is such a terrible idea, I'm not even sure where to begin, I don't even know if I need to.

Originally by: Trent Nichols Dust looks and sounds fantastic, right up to the point he says an FPS will determine SOV in EVE. I know the kind of people who play console FPS games and I have no desire to interact with them in any way, much less in Eve. This great looking game sounds like it will be the worst thing CCP has done to Eve since I started playing 3 years ago.
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.
I've posted this in both the other threads (important one here http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1111332) but I think that working _with_ an idea like yours could make this Dust thing really fly, I guess primarily by limiting its impact on overall eve sovereignty but still making it a worthwhile enough element to seed connections between the two.

As someone that has been waiting for another MMOFPS to come out (That was a real MMOFPS like planetside) This could potentially be the best thing ever. I'm not sure how this is gunna' work, but the problem that killed planetside was the gigantic lag. If CCP can make a decently balanced MMOFPS that is reasonably priced and lag free, they will be complete superstars and I would leave EvE for it XD.

Problem with this is, console games get played for a couple of months.. or a year max. Once the next halo or Xbox 720 or whatever comes out people will just move on to that.
Eve lived as long as it did because it evolved over 6 years on a very flexible plattform.

I don't have a good feeling about this. Like the dude said above, when new console's come out and other new games for console's, what if Dust 514 becomes dull in time like most console games do. I mean all that will be left is an EvE veteran with keyboard in one hand and controller in another if they decide to play it. It may be fun, but if sov is relying on Dust 514 IF Dust 514 dies down CCP will just have to change game mechanics back or think of something else for Sov right? Is Dust 514 really worth it in the long run? I guess time will tell if they do release it. I thought the new Sov Mechanic was going to be what everyone has been talking about where Sov is claimed by activity in a system which makes sense (everyone is tired of POS BASH WARS). I don't know, gotta go study, got class tomorrow...see ya.

so theyve spent 3 years developing that so far?
sounds flawed on so many levels.
for one thing is there going to be a new currency? because if your using isk to contract mercs, obviously they'll take the highest bidder. And therefore alliances who already have the most will get the mercs.
suppose no one plays period?
banking too much on this.

FPS on Pc`s are full of cheaters. Putting it on a console will stop alot of cheating that could happen with people seeing through walls etc. Although I hate consoles. I want a mouse to play an fps. That ps3 pad crap is not for me. I have a ps3 here but it does not get played much. It was a smart move to put it on the console. Now should it ever been created ? I am not sure. This does not SOUND good. Although we are ignorant of how it will create issues in our game. I have played for over 5 years and this is the first change that has alarmed me. Over the years the changes have been great too not so great, but we are all here. We shall see what happens. Take it easy.

Wow well we all know Sov mechanics are horribly broken but I gotta say this is never the solution I ever contemplated.
Have to wonder can we affect the combat, I mean will we be allowed to do planetary bombardment with our Dreadnoughts?
Do the troops have to travel on a troop transport through space? If they have to physically travel from world to world aboard a ship say a transport, industrial, freighter etc then I can see the possibility it may well be hard to take a system.
Specialized Cargobays is something that's coming about first iteration Thursday in Apoc 1.5. Will there be special cargo bays to hold ground troops, ground equipment etc. I see it becoming much harder to travel around in these ships if they do. That neutral transport coming through the gate might no longer be ignored even by NRDS alliances.
What sort of contracts will we have. I remember the old Mechwarrior games, where you negotiated pay up front, salvage rights, pay upon completion and bonus pay.

W T F are you really smoking up there in Iceland, maybe the air is thin up there or something, or maybe your just a bunch of pot heads.
Although we havent heard much about 'what' kind of 'new' implementations will occur, i really cannot see how 'other than for the RP newbs' this has any positive effect on us 'eve players' we better have like 99% control over our Sov, and it also better not be exploitable, no doubt it F***ing will be though.
How can you beleive that another MMO that is seperate to the core MMO will even give a **** about the eve community or understand the game. They wont and you know why? Because anybody who plays FPS games are just interested in shooting ****, not politics. If this ends in a ragin blazing disaster, well this is one way to get me to really quit, which i maybe kind of thankful for in ways, as your game 'currently' has me completely hucked.

Why all the lame PC user elitism? You're sat at home playing an internet spaceship game, I see little difference between you and console gamers. Also the demographic for PS3 and the 360 is 17-27. Of course you get annoying kids but you get that in every game, it's not exclusive to games like Halo.
As for FPS being poor on consoles, it's your fault you have sausage fingers and the dexterity of a dead cat not the controllers.
Finally Microsoft will release hardware updates instead of a new console, ensuring it will be sticking around. Sony said they wont be releasing another console after PS3, again cementing the safety of DUST 514 on consoles.
I have high hopes for DUST, if only for the fact that I can shoot all these internet lamos who believe that having a PC makes them better than anyone else. I can also hopefully shoot those who have already slandered the idea before any details have been released. Talk about jumping the gun.

I dunno, it says "feeds into Eve's sovereignty system" rather then "determine Eve's sovereignty system". If under the new system, you could get dust players to lower sov level by one and say disabling a cynojammed system for a short time, that'd be pretty cool. Having Dust alone determine sov levels would be pretty ballsack though I agree :(

Eve online is unique in the mmo world, imo thats why it is a succes.
Rather would have seen CCP putting their team/money to work on Eve online instead of wasting their time on just another fps game that you are going to throw away after you get bored of it.
Personally i'm not going to buy it, because it's a console fps game, hate the controls.

bingo
I predict there will be an interesting link between the two games and isolated and limited effects will spread from one to the other.... but for the most part they will remain exactly that, two separate games.
For anyone crying and moaning that it might go strictly to console, news flash: the world will along with out you. I do not own a ps3 or an xbox 360, but i plan on getting one eventually. MOST gamers out there (if you add them all up) are console gamers, the market is skewed in their direction.
It's not a bad move on their part, just means a bit of butt hurt from their current customers. They aren't obligated to bring every future invention of their company to the PC platform and i think it may go a long way to drawing some of that console market into Eve proper (ultimately making eve healthier).
I agree fps are better on PC, i agree they should open this to both but get over yourselves, CCP will make whatever decision is smarter for the business (and there are many many aspects to examine).
Trust they will make the game better and if you can't be arsed to join the rest of the planet in owning a console (or if you are unfortunate enough to live someplace that keeps you from playing) too bad, the real world is tough bananas. 
I trust it will be implemented with some degree of competency. I've had 5 excellent years of Eve and i'm confident i'll see 5 more.
Wait, i mean they have never done anything right in all of history and eve is already dying and this will be the final nail!  ---------- Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy mother*****r |

Quite frankly if this is anything to do with alliances i'd be surprised. It's more likely to be faction wars, NPC based changes. At least thats how i'm reading it. I think that people in here (because of the nature of this forum) assume that every change in Eve is a change in 0.0. But sov is based in faction wars too.

When a Titan DDDs in a low planetorbit, does it instantly kill all Dust players currently on the planet then?
Ok, maybe it would be nice to hire DUST 514 players to lower a sov level in some key system... Though in general it seems a isk-sink?  will players in eve online be farming isk to be able to hire FPS players on a different game I.O.W. would DUST 514 players be able to hire EVE online players for the same isk to provide them services like transports?
if its one way traffic isk wise i would not be surprised many eve online players will consider to do the job DUST 514 players COULD do themselves in a alternative way like a classic pos siege or something.

This can work, the only problem is getting the synergy between Eve and Dust just right... I mean if you had to haul a few thousand troops deep into enemy space that will also have NPC and player defence in a planet/station it would be a much more realistic approach to (shoot poses then shoot station then claim sov) etc. I dunno, depends how they go about it, but to be quite honest they should leave the Eve sov. for Eve players.

this isn't going to effect 0.0 at all, its just an addition to Faction Warfare currently. Using CCP's tried and tested methodology it will start there hopefully rejuvenating FW's failing presence in the game and may have a possible entry into 0.0 after that.
This will come in line with the planned sov changes in the winter expansion.
The only real crucial thing about this is that nothing in Eve will change that is big in the next 18 months due to CCP not wanting to risk their cash cow while a new game is launched.
One Dust fails as it inevitably will in the very competitive market it is in, that will ofc signal the downfall of Eve itself leading (I hope) to a second generation Eve and Dust that will envelop both aspects into the same game.

This all boils down to how well they handle the lag. And this would mean a serious increase of players online at any given time. I think BF had it up to 64 (32 players a side), I think another console FPS claimed it was working on over 100. (Don't keep up with console news anymore, my PC gets most of my attention)
The only thing I'd have a problem with, is the fact that there are tons of people who don't know the EVE universe, and a bunch of 14 year old's aren't going to listen to anything you have to say, even if your bankrolling them, because they don't play EVE, and therefore really don't care if you keep your space, there just there to play the FPS.
IMO, place a MANDATORY TUTORIAL in which nothing else can be done until they've played through it, and understand that their actions influence a world in which they've probably never heard of, nor care about.

OK so how are these DUST invasion forces going to move from Planet to Planet? It seems to me that the concept seems somewhat one sided.
Now if you were to have vulnerable troop convoys escorted to hostile planets unders attack that might be appealing.
CCP need to think long and hard about what they are doing here, breaking 0.0 would I think break EVE.

K: Now we need to ask further. YOu said that Events within DUST 514 will influence the Eve universe and the other way. How synced are the two worlds in detail? CCP: Very synced, honestly. A fight on a planet taking part within DUST will have immidiate impact on the stratetic control a single Eve Player or group of players will have over this planet. And it is very simple to keep these things synced. It might have a large impact, but it is not much data that we have to transfer.
K: But this won't enable one to watch fights in DUST from within Eve and the other way? CCP: No. In the PC game you will make offers to DUST marines. This group of mercenaries, will be in the center of DUST. The marines accept the mission, if the conditions are right and the result will be sent back and influences the gameplay of the PC game. But there won't be a Spectator camera or similar things.
K: A mission given out by a PC player is a quest for a DUST player? CCP: We don't call it quest, but in principle: yes.
K: And between the Employer in Eve and the soldiers only money is transfered? Or are there more ways, which would mean the Eve player could support his soldiers. CCP: Through higher values of money the player supports his soldiers more. And yes, money will be the minimum an Eve player can transfer to his soldiers.
K: And in return the Eve player get's the corresponding Sector of one planet, if his soldiers win the battle. If he owns most sectors on a planet, he will own the planet. But what does he get from that? CCP: What can be done with the planets will be announced next year at the time our next expansion is due. This will introduce planetary control. If a player controls a certain amound of planets in one sun system, he will own the whole system. That expands our souverenity system and makes warfare within Eve more transparent and shifts it to a whole new level.

Launching a FPS mmo into a very competitive market? Like who?? The last big FPSMMo was Planetside and its far gone now. Huxley is on the verge of comming out but since personally playing the closed beta I can honestly say its not going to last either. So where is this competition for a FPSMMO?

There aren't many MMOFPS's, but if the game doesn't compare to other FPS's in general, people will drop it, regardless of the fact that it's an MMO. In essence, you need a COD clone, with MMO components.

If the game is anything like the demonstration trailer provided by CCP it will do well. Planetside did amazing for a few years yet SOE was backing it and did not have the dedication like CCP to keep updating and polishing it.

Now if this crap will input directly into 0.0 sov , i supose it will be on a timed vulnerability system in order to make any sense , much like the current POS timers
Now if you think it`s hard to get a proper CTA going when those poses decide to come out at 4 in the morning...

Don't know if this idea has been posted but as a suggestion.
If ou hire a dust player (or they accept your contract) their work will only benefit you if you are able to transport them into the battlefield. In other words, you MUST have a station in system in order to deploy your troops. Or turn this a bit sideways, and make the mechanics work so that if you want to contract out work, you need to have a POS in the system in which you want (to eventually) gain sov. Have a timer of sorts, so that if your POS happens to get blown up, you can still affect sov (although limited, now that your POS is gone)for a set amount of time, possibly even a week. This would require that the holding alliance hire their own mercs, especially if they are tettering on the edge of losing sov.
Sidenote: I understand that there is a timer for sov levels. Make that a consideration for alliance holders to entice DUST players to join their cause. IE for every 1 DUST player in a given system, it takes off 1 minute (or whatever) until SOV 4 is reached. Have it so that the number of DUST players makes a difference, good or bad. Not just, 'Hey we hired a better group of FPS player so you guys can kiss SOV 4 goodbye' mentality. And they are going to HAVE to implement some sort of PVE for the FPS. Otherwise the console gamers are going to have their own version of 'spinning in station' akin to Red vs. Blue. Introducing NPC's so that they have something to do will encourage them to stay longer on said planet so they don't have to be jumping around. It will give them a home or base, or even an alliance to say they are a part of and make a difference for. Mercs are one thing, but alliances tend to have dedicated players, not just paid brutes.
The good: It makes EVE players responsible for SOV
The bad: It makes EVE players responsible for SOV

This idea worries me greatly.
DUST in itself looks like it has the potential to be an AMAZING game. I would play it for sure, even though it's console-based, it brings a different outlook to the eve universe.
However, to h*ll with putting Eve's sov system in the hands of people who dont actually play eve. Having to fight for one's space is a mechanic that keep many people playing. To put that in the hands of outsiders would doom eve, as 0.0 would no longer be fun.
Now, if hiring these DUST players to take over planets in LOW SEC or EMPIRE systems meant gaining an additional revenue from the occuring victory and control of the planet, now THAT would make things interesting, and it wouldnt effect the space that EVE players fought for.
A lot of people want to see sov mechanics changed, but this is definately not teh way to do it. x-103 Azrael Pilgrim

My comments posted on another thread:-
Currently I think there is a lot of context missing in regards to this release.
Initially, ccp are a games company. They have been developing a console game and in their view of the sucess of the eve online galaxy they decide to base it upon that genre. I dont think anyone can blame them on that.
Then they decided that one element of the eve online universe was due for an overhaul (ie Sov mechanics), so decided to make the games inter-related (nb that doesnt mean inter-dependant). Everyone I have seen posting in all these threads are referring to the soon to be DUST players as second class citizens, setting up shop and ruining their game. Again, lets throw in a tea-spoon of perspective.. Up until this release, the eve online universe had absolutely nothing to do with planets, nothing, zilch, nada. Therefore nothing is being taken away from the eve universe at all. I dont believe this will be the lone lynchpin of determining Sov.
People are also concerned that 'their game' is going to get taken over by 14 year old pimple faced idiots.. Not being funny but have you seen some of the local chat flying around eve? They are there already, in every MMO infact. No doubt they will make a show in dust also, but like every other mmo dust is going to have its own organisation systems. Therefore you can in essence set your own recruitment criteria and like every other mmo before it your elitest organisations will rise from the rabble and establish themselves as 'the ones to pay for'. Any single strategi FPS that has a clan systyem has these controls, just like an MMO, plus this is an RPSMMOFPS (phew). So people need to bless their cotton socks and take a tea-spoon of this perspective thing and relax.
There are claims that it will influence sov.. thats influence, not determine.. and lets be fair the sov system at present is a massive time drain, why not spice it up a little. until we see the whole overhaul we cant really whine about 1 factor can we. The other side of the comments are that only the biggest space holding alliances are going to be able to hafford the bestest mercenaries to hold their space or invade. Let's once again focus on the eve universe as it stands now.. only the big power blocks can afford to maintain and replace massive cap fleets.. produce and field titans.. or even constant BS fleets.. so what change is DUST bringing to the power balance side of the game? none..
With regards to worries about it becoming redundant.. I think that the fact the DUST players will eventually be able to feel part of a bigger picture may enhance the game. Also the XBOX 360 and PS3 have both declared it will be a long time if ever, that they bring out another console, instead being able to purely upgrade the current systems.. I think DUST may be with us for a while. It also gives the interested eve player another level of immersion should they wish.
This is another level of immersion in an already brilliant setting..There is no way CCP are going to commit corporate suicide by making the games tinter-dependant.. but to be honest, having a multiplatform, multigame inter-related system.. isn't that just massively epic? So what if you don't want to buy a console and take part.. isnt just knowing that that stuff is actually going on ingame elevating the game universe that little bit higher?
I think there are fun times ahead, I may or may not play DUST.. but it will certainly enhance my gaming experience with its existence.
Things that would be nice, are some benefits to playing both games with regards to subscription, maybe even the option to use plexes. Also for communication between games down the line..

My comments posted on another thread:-
Currently I think there is a lot of context missing in regards to this release.
Initially, ccp are a games company. They have been developing a console game and in their view of the sucess of the eve online galaxy they decide to base it upon that genre. I dont think anyone can blame them on that.
Then they decided that one element of the eve online universe was due for an overhaul (ie Sov mechanics), so decided to make the games inter-related (nb that doesnt mean inter-dependant). Everyone I have seen posting in all these threads are referring to the soon to be DUST players as second class citizens, setting up shop and ruining their game. Again, lets throw in a tea-spoon of perspective.. Up until this release, the eve online universe had absolutely nothing to do with planets, nothing, zilch, nada. Therefore nothing is being taken away from the eve universe at all. I dont believe this will be the lone lynchpin of determining Sov.
People are also concerned that 'their game' is going to get taken over by 14 year old pimple faced idiots.. Not being funny but have you seen some of the local chat flying around eve? They are there already, in every MMO infact. No doubt they will make a show in dust also, but like every other mmo dust is going to have its own organisation systems. Therefore you can in essence set your own recruitment criteria and like every other mmo before it your elitest organisations will rise from the rabble and establish themselves as 'the ones to pay for'. Any single strategi FPS that has a clan systyem has these controls, just like an MMO, plus this is an RPSMMOFPS (phew). So people need to bless their cotton socks and take a tea-spoon of this perspective thing and relax.
There are claims that it will influence sov.. thats influence, not determine.. and lets be fair the sov system at present is a massive time drain, why not spice it up a little. until we see the whole overhaul we cant really whine about 1 factor can we. The other side of the comments are that only the biggest space holding alliances are going to be able to hafford the bestest mercenaries to hold their space or invade. Let's once again focus on the eve universe as it stands now.. only the big power blocks can afford to maintain and replace massive cap fleets.. produce and field titans.. or even constant BS fleets.. so what change is DUST bringing to the power balance side of the game? none..
With regards to worries about it becoming redundant.. I think that the fact the DUST players will eventually be able to feel part of a bigger picture may enhance the game. Also the XBOX 360 and PS3 have both declared it will be a long time if ever, that they bring out another console, instead being able to purely upgrade the current systems.. I think DUST may be with us for a while. It also gives the interested eve player another level of immersion should they wish.

SecWars...the table game from Ambulation. Easy to learn, difficult to master. Like EVE and chess.
It's the SAME AS DUST514!
We provide the battlefield, and hopefully bombardment and map access, they provide the ooh-rahhh!
Fanfest will reveal how effective their ooh-rahh will be on Sov levels.(Pos bashing is proven less fun.)
I want to play the best Dust merc at SecWars for money. Teach him who the boss really is, Internet Spaceship Overlords FTW.
And start petitioning now so that subscribers of EVE get free access. All this non-productive whining...makes me wonder if you guys play this spreadsheet game.

Consoles???? WTF!!!
Don't get me started on consoles... I'll safe everybody some dull reading and simply won't start.
I hope a PC version will be made available as this whole console story isn't going down well with me.
The best and only reason is that they keep most of the space pilots (and income they have from us) and create a new market...for again more money. If the first version came out on the PC then some pilots may go for either the ground version OR the space version...less money then when the new console community bites. Good marketing strategy...too bad it keeps a possible interresting part of the Eve universe away from the people that are already proven customers who don't wish to buy a console.
My 2c. on the matter.

I wonder if eve voice will be intergrated, so you can tell your marines to STFU and attack the damn post 
Also do they just respawn or can they be "podded" back a few plantes/solar systems
Ohh the more I think of DUST 514 the better it's portential, and just for the record 0.0 has been bad for years so this won't break it (it simply can't). Now if you could doomsday a planet...

I forsee all the Twitchers out there getting a taste of a real game like Eve, then wanting to join our universe. At present, FPS battles have no meaning. Integrating them with Eve will make the battles relevant.
That relevance may bring a level of dedication to FPS that we see in the Eve corps and alliances. As a veteran of over 500 pos sieges I'd gladly give that task to someone else.

The lifespan of *most* fps's really isn't that long typically. I think eve will be around well after the console kiddies get bored of playing the same fps. So unless you have a lot of eve players busting their asses and playing both games I don't know how long the idea will work. Sounds cool though

All I can say is Subterfuge; thatĘs right they have been talking about walking in stations how long now? This is just another tool to distract you from that, and at the same time will give them another five years, why we to talk about the new idea (DUST 514). LetĘs finish Walking in Stations and Store Fronts before we move on to trying to mix a consul game with a PC game.
Hell maybe it will blow up on day one when they realize you can't mix the two. ThatĘs not because it would not be cool, because it would. The real problem is when they try to make it have a focus on EVE sovereignty; I just donĘt think this will work well as one will depend on the other??????? ThatĘs the real question. I do admit as a DeVry CIS with emphasis in Web Gaming student I would love to be working on it. I just want to point out the difficulty in the people playing too different tools, working together; not to mention the coding involved.

well. the ambulation will take some time as the littlebirds are singing bout ambulation to be based on same system as WoD MMO that ccp is also making. personally i am waiting on dust514 to hit on shelves. great idea. and would give some differential on fw and sov fights

You think the so called "twitchers" have the desire to play some of the more boring aspects of one of the most boring games of all time (eve)?
What are you guys smoking? This will fail (horribly) inside a year and leave all involved looking like fools. This idea is the only thing more ridiculously ****ed than the way SOV works now.
Leave it to CCP to come up with a plan this mind bogglingly borked.
Edit - No offense intended to anyone who have gave their opinions. I just think this plan is horrible. I don't hope that it fails, I am simply fairly certain it will.

welp, cancel the development guys. that one guy from that one alliance that caod posts and that's about it has said that this game won't do well.
time to pack it in and go home. console FPSes with strategic elements will clearly never sell enough to make a profit. -- Check out my EVE cartoons |

Much as everybody likes to hate on the current sovereignty system, it's a part of what makes Eve into the game that it is. The getting up at 4am because your POS is coming out of reinforce, and faking sickies in order to make alliance CTAs is all a part of the game we love to hate. At the end of the day, the sov system is flawed, but at least Eve players are determining what happens in the Eve universe.
Quotes like this scare me: Hilmar said, "DUST battlefields will dictate who control specific planets inside the EVE MMO. If a player contracts a DUST mercenary team to go and conquer this district of a planet. Then ultimately he will be able to control the planet, and therefore the solar system, and therefore the constellation, and the region."
It sounds like as Eve players, our ability to determine our own fates (control-wise) outside of spending massive sums of ISK with pro FPS clans is rapidly diminishing.
Outside of fun, what will be the tactical advantage for throwing capital fleets at one another? What will be the tactical significance of alliances and renter agreements? (Two fundamentally central aspects to Eve)
In their favour, mostly CCP does get it right, but this just seems like something that could go horrendously wrong, and if it does, the chance for recovery for both DUST (why release this on a console?) and even Eve is slim.
