EVE players dictate to and control the Dust players. Its exactly the same as using NPC's but a lot more dynamic. So EVE gets the expansion for that for free. Dust in itself is irrelevant to EVE and there is no need to play it at all. It may as well be a game of ping pong, it does not matter. It will not make a bit of difference if you do play it. All that matters is that EVE players control it, which they will. So its not an expansion.
Also the changes to Sov have been asked for for a long time and announced a while ago, so why the surprise?

Good reason to reject MicrosoftÆs 360. Another good reason is their dismally high failure rate and their ****y service record.
Don't mistake my feelings for the 360 for dislike of the Dust game...I like the idea and the game that I've seen...I just wish it was also developed for my pc.

you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can be trolled about dust all of the time. i think thats how that goes...
every time someone cries about dust i like to look at my rl wallet and remind myself (since i have a job) i can buy a console and join in like all the other cool people.
the priceless butthurt from people that seem to think they are entitled to dust on their pc. somehow they've earned that (though i'm not quite sure what they did to 'earn' it). tell ya what, unless you own stock in ccp stfu. if you do own stock in ccp, stfu and go to a shareholders meeting and tell ppl that give a **** 
how terrible it would be for ccp to expand their company's horizons not to mention developing a genre shattering cross platform experience that will not only bring more $$ to CCP but more attention (thus popularity and ultimately longer life) to Eve Online.
it's not like consoles don't control the majority of the gaming market. ccp would have to be terrible business men to want to get in on that part of the market

In that same vein, name a successful mmo that doesn't shard their universe. Or one that has show continuous, strong growth for over 6 years. Oh wait, there is one. And it is made by the same company that is attempting to develop a revolutionary FPS that ties into a persistent (and successful) MMO.
Point being, it would probably be unwise to compare the track record of other console games to DUST, or draw any predictions about how well it will do from that. It looks to be an entirely new breed, and all bets are off.
The fact is CCP has a track record of taking concepts that were previously thought to be impractical, and not only making the concept work, but making it financially successful.

2 points i have to make:
- i hope there will be a pc version as i dislike those controler thingies (i simply suck with them)
- i hope you implement the sov mechanics very carefully because it would be less than funny to invest tens of 1000s of manhours and then have some stupid idea take it away from you.
i am afraid of this new feature tbh because the record you guys have with implementing new features... well you know about it yourselves.
fixing and balancing ships is ok and can be done later (you are still fiddling around with carriers) but once sov and other things are involved there is no fixing it once something has happened. i doubt there will be another rollback so i think you could break a lot more with this than gain.

Luckily you can use keyboard and mouse on XBOX, I also suck with controllers... im not sure about the PS/3 tho.

Personally, I think this idea is frakking brilliant.
Instead of trying use EVE as the basis for planetary warfare, CCP have decided to create an entire second game from scratch, and have them linked. It's completely unprecedented, and I love it.
It's also another form of realism. EVE is the only game I can think of where you can command battles involving hundreds of real people. Now they're applying the same principle to planetary warfare.
Let's leave aside the fact that Dust is being developed by CCP, and will probably be an excellent and innovative shooter in its own right. The interaction between the two games is what fascinates me.
You donÆt need a console and a subscription to fully play EVE. The smart thing is to establish a relationship with a Dust corporation, preferably composed of veteran console gamers. Coordinate with them. Armies and navies in real life have to coordinate for joint operations. This is the same thing.
There will be at least one extremely obvious way to stop a bunch of Dustbunnies from taking over your planets û even if you donÆt have Dustbunnies of your own. You intercept their goddamn transports! All you need is the ability to maintain gatecamps. Furthermore, I doubt CCP will enable them to take over a system without fleet support of their own.
I am not a console gamer. I donÆt like the controls, IÆm not very good with them, and there is no way I can pay for a second MMO. I will, in all likelihood, not be buying this game. That said, I absolutely cannot wait for it to come out.

Is it not?
Planetary Governor
The probable first step for planetary interaction, where you can manage planets from a Station or other suitable structure.
Planetary Explorer
This would feature flying over planets and interacting with the planetary surface. This will likely follow on from Simple Planetary Interaction.
Planetary Commander
Planetary RTS or other hybrid game form. Yarr. The long-term crazy professor phase of planetary interaction.
This was listed from the EVE-online drawing board located here http://www.eveonline.com/updates/plannedfeat.asp - you never know maybe a non employee of CCP wrote it lol.
Of course the money we pay them to develop 'eve' is not enough so rather than pass it off as an expansion as it looks was intended by the developers they decided to sell it off as a new game while trying to maintain that expansions are 'free'.
If planetary interaction was not originally going to be a expansion then why is it on a development platform for eve supposedly written by CCP?

 I hate to say this, but this is going to shake up the gaming world. I hope that the tie in with eve and dust is a symbiotic relationship. I can see that one alliance is going to lose members to dust "coughgoonscough" j/k
I hope that this new kind of game playing will force alliances to plan their conquest in a deeper manner and that a greater diversity of gamers participate in the strategy. Mordor likes this move.
