So are you going to be able to loot the bodies of your kills in DUST or what? While you may not be able to operate a BFG, you should at least be able to pick it up from your kill. Every FPS has this... will DUST?

That's the good thing about dust, it's not like every fps.
Also upon destruction of the militants dropsuit a self-destruct sequence is activated to destroy all possible intel or technology. this is to prevent the enemy from analyzing the data and creating a counter against the weapons.
However part of the remains are salvaged after the battle and distributed among militants depending on their performance during the battle. I dont post often, but when I do i'm probably trolling you Currently offering 100% legit hulkageddon security sponsored by the mittani, send 50m to me and 50m to him |

A way to reward participation and contribution. The question I have is in what ways will we be able to earn these "contribution" points that goes towards how much salvage you get.
It's not a new problem as most FPS' that have this sort of reward system don't take into account all contributing factors in any particular battle. Most peope contribute by neutralizing the enemy, but other forms of contribution can be healing, defending a point, assists, and vehicle/turret operations (depending on the difficulty of piloting them and the availability). That's a short list and I'm sure I didn't get everything in there.
Course it does bring up the question of those that AFK in these battles. This may not really be a problem outside of FW since from what I understand the FW stuff is where you'll get your quickmatches in, but I'd love to get clarification on that. But I don't think it'd be an issue as you move into more EVE player related interests with holding planets since those actions seem to really call for organized teams (or at least teams that actually play) since there's more at stake. |

seems like another step in CCP's direction of removal of loot drops from EvE. First it was incursions, then Drones, now this, what next, no NPC drops at all? to be replaced entirely with player drops, since self destruct no longer destroys all? Come on, lets get the loot and salvage back, or at least dont leave an incursion wreck if its useless, just cluttering up space and causing lag. |

Dust, not Eve. 2 different but connected games.

They're war points. and you get them pretty much anything useful. Killing, hacking, resupplying, healing, etc. (pretty sure that's in the open now, since E3, thus not NDA covered.)

This is dashing my hopes of being a land pirate. Getting into matches just to cap a dude with a Golden Imperial Drop Suit. Looting bodies for faction guns... sad day. It kind of makes it more pay to win in my book. If some rich a**hole is fighting with an advantage he purchased in AUR and I can't take that away from him... I'm not sure I'm going to care enough to enter the match. Come to think of it... if ISK from EvE can go to DUST I'll probably be one of those rich a**holes... still. Not as fun.

Not sure if you've played the game or not but it really isnt like that at the moment and in my experience, even with the best kit, it only gives you a marginal advantage. There is a lot of weight on skill and teamwork which far outstrips the modest difference that skills or advanced weaponry makes in game..
We'll see how it goes though, since its still beta, but presently there is no visible pay to win button. Nothing is THAT expensive at seeded prices and fitting is generally done based on 'how many of these can I afford to lose in a match to break even'. |

NO way, you get whole tanks, and prototype suits. Not to mention you get weapons that are better than any thing money or isk can buy. Officer drops! : D
ffff I'll get NDA'd i bet :P
btw tommorow is the 20th and the newest build will be shown off! new graphics, new drop suits, new UI, I'm looking forward to the changes that are coming in, we'll soon know more! http://dl.eve-files.com/media/1206/scimi.jpg |

Yah I just got a PS3 and started playing the beta... I've not said anything about DUST because of the NDA... but the salvage thing is OK. There are going to be big problems with it but I think I rather ride through the fire
