i have one question that needs answering i think:
is dust necessary?
the idea of having an FPS that modifies sov is kinda neat and a cool way of breaking powerblocks in 0.0 that are far too entrenched without actually doing any work ourselves.
however, i want to know this:
can i hold my sovereignty against someone who contracts dusters against me without getting dusters of my own?
can i break the sovereignty of someone who uses dusters without using dusters myself?
obviously these things would need more legwork, like trying to break a current alliances space without using battleships at any point. but if you CANNOT hold or take space without dusters, i cant lend my support to this idea, because it makes a lot of work that a lot of people have done irrelevant compared to the power of people who have spent the last two years mocking them for playing an MMO while spending huge amounts of time playing TF2.
so, is an answer forthcoming?

but maybe having Dusters will make it easier, and not having them will require more effort from the siege fleet.
id be happy with having them making it easier, as long as its balanced. i wonder how CCP will deal with the differing skill levels of players?
a system like quake live with skill matching between two forces would work.

Thats actually the only problem I see there.
Dyspro moon -> good mercs -> more dyspro moons -> more good mercs -> ...
agreed. the biggest pitfall CCP has to avoid is making sure that this doesnt turn into getting little minions to do what the large alliances are already doing.
in order for this to break up the sov mechanic, it has to be possible for small alliances dusters to beat large alliances dusters. if we simply say "better dusters are worth more" then the good dusters will just end up on permanent contracts with the big alliances, and the whole system will fail.
