You mentioned PSV support, can you give us any more details? Would this also only be for DUST or could we be looking at also interacting with EVE-Online through the PSV?
CCP Shadow:
At present, those plans are DUST 514-only, but itÆs still a bit too soon for us to reveal anything concrete with what will be possible.

Will there be a beta before it ships? If so, can you guarantee that IÆll be a part of it? This looks hot.
CCP Shadow:
WeÆre not announcing the specifics quite yet, but yes there will be a beta.

I will say this though, DUST 514 looks absolutely stunning!!!!
CCP Shadow:
Thanks Kyuss. And our goal is really to extend the EVE universe to a whole new group of gamers, and of course weÆre hoping a great number of EVE Online players also get in on the action in DUST 514.

The REGIS has been waiting for this game for over 2 years. The REGIS hopes this game will live up to itÆs potential. Where can The REGIS sign up for the BETA.
I am the Replicant Engineered for Galactic Infiltration and Sabotage MK V.
CCP Shadow:
The REGIS will get info about beta signups once we get to that point. Also, we suspect The REGIS will soon see DUST 514 living up to said potential.

I was under the impression that this would be a free PC game, is there any future plan to make it for pc for those of us that canÆt afford a PS3 and already play eve online?
CCP Shadow
BlackCat, DUST 514 is a PlayStation 3 exclusive title.

Originally by: Tgebbs
Sorry to ask this, since I know thereÆs a section specifically dealing with this, but just to clear it up.. the interactions in Dust 514 are actually taking place within the same EVE online gamespace / universe? Not just in fiction but in real player actions?
Apologies if thatÆs difficult to understand.
Anyway, I love the sound of this, persistent world shooter. mmmm. CanÆt wait to get my hands on it.
CCP Shadow:
Tgebbs, thatÆs correct. DUST 514 isnÆt just an EVE Online-themed persistent shooter, it actually shares the same virtual galaxy with EVE Online pilots (called capsuleers). The planets seen and interacted with by EVE Online capsuleers are the planets that DUST mercs fight it out on.
Player actions will ripple between both games, and DUST 514 players will have an impact on the EVE universe just as EVE Online players do.

Originally by: ShoryukenII
I recently got the EVE trial after reading some rumours about this and the game is not for me (but I love the ISK and the things it makes people do like piracy). This game looks perfect for me. I do have a few questions.
If you have decided on how many players, are you allowed to tell us? (if so tell us =D) When you talk about virtual items do you mean people can pay real money to unlock weapons and vehicles or do they pay ISK to unlock these things? Or are you guys using a renting system similar to free to play FPSÆs? Is these a tactical teambased game (with classes)? Or is it run and gun?
Sorry if you have answered these in the article. I didnÆt bother reading it because I watched the reveal on the live stream.
CCP Shadow:
Hey Shoryukenll,
YouÆve asked a few things I canÆt delve too deeply into, but what I can comment on is what you said about virtual items and real money. DUST 514 will support purchases made through both in-game earned currency and real money currency.

Never really heard of this game, but definitely interested. The persistence and strong economy really stand out from every other shooter coming out this year, and I thank you for making map packs free and using the sale of virtual goods for funding. Will keep an eye on this game, as well as this studio.
CCP Shadow:
Excellent, glad to hear that. We donÆt charge for expansions in EVE Online, nor do we plan to charge for DUST 514 expansions. ItÆs how we roll at CCP. ;)

Can we begin clan recruitment through EVE Gate?
CCP Shadow:
EVE Gate will absolutely be a useful tool for recruitment in the future. Our plan is to bring DUST 514 players into EVE Gate and itÆs part of our strategy for supporting a single shared community of EVE and DUST players.

Originally by: sobeyondhelp
How varied will the map terrain be? Being able to fight on 10,000s of planets is awesome but if there are only a dozen map variants for each type of planet the scenery will get old fast.
Will fighting be able to take place on hostile planets (barren, lava, ice, plasma, etc) or will it be limited to the temperates? Bonus feature for being able to fight on the floating installations of gas giants and oceanic planets!
Also, Capsuleers want to shot at the Dust Warbarges (at least damage them a little bit) :D
CCP Shadow
If I had my way, every map would be dotted with Icelandic volcanoes.

One more question. When will Dust514.com forums go live?
CCP Shadow:
That will tie in with EVE Gate, but I canÆt provide an ETA on this yet.

@Bloody_Marcel there will be Move support? The article did not say anything about Move support. Would be pretty awesome though. Hope it is optimized for the Sharpshooter.
CCP Shadow:
DUST 514 is in fact being optimized for Sharpshooter.

Originally by: Etero_Narciss
IÆm a little concerned about your statement that youÆll buy weapons and equipment through microtransaction. It sounds a lot like ôbuying a winö, which was something CCP has stated in the past that they wished to avoid.
Any comments on this?
CCP Shadow:
No, it wonÆt be possible to ôbuy a winö. The first DUST 514 dev blog from our Creative Director CCP Praetorian addresses this in greater detail than IÆm able to here:

Hi, I am Eve Player and PS3 owner and have been waiting for Dust for a looooong time :). Any news on the beta? Will the sign-ups be on dust website? Will eve players be preferred? Will I need Playstation Plus to be in beta?
CCP Shadow:
ItÆs too soon to reveal the beta details but we certainly do want EVE Online players in beta.

IÆm soooo disappointed that this is a PS3 exclusive!!! Why no PC version??? What happens when the PS3 platform ends?? As a current EVE player, i think itÆs a big mistake on CCPÆs part to exclude PC users from being able to take control of this aspect of THEIR game universe.
I will say this though, DUST 514 looks absolutely stunning!!!!
CCP Shadow:

so will there be a monthly fee? because this game looks uber cool, but IÆm not sure if I can afford a monthly fee
CCP Shadow:
There will not be a monthly fee to play DUST 514. The game will be supported by virtual goods sales, but of course you can play the game and buy gear with the currency you earn in-game through your successes in combat.

Originally by: barter9
You said it all in your opening statement. This is the kind of shooter game IÆve wanted to play for a long, long time. Star Wars Battlefront had the basic idea and if you go back there have been different versions of the same thing, be they turn based, flight sim or FPS.
One thing I would like (and therefore, like to know) is the option to pilot vehicles either as an individual or as part of a crew. This could be jets, starfighters, command platforms, artillery, tanks, assault vehicles, etc. They could be run solo or with friends as part of a team who share in the spoils of their successful employ. Think this sort of thing will happen or are we looking a little more exclusively at the merc. grunts in this story.
Another question this brings to mind is the connection between your pay as a mercenary and the equipment you can buy from this virtual economy. Will there be a crossover between your digital wallet and the real world cash you put into the game (say a 10 : 1 ratio or something like that)?
Keep moving forward, this is one game that is high on my radar!
CCP Shadow:
About vehicles ù all IÆll say is that every vehicle you saw in the Pale Red Dot trailer was piloted by a player.

in the trailer you showed, i couldnÆt tell if the gun was shooting bullets or if it was an energy weapon. the muzzle flash looked blueish, but the ôbulletsö flying through the air looked like actual bullets
CCP Shadow:
ThatÆs a hybrid weapon that fires plasma bolts, something which should be quite familiar to capsuleers in EVE Online. Particularly if youÆve been on the receiving end.

Originally by: Hublebubble
Looks impressive, and I have been following since FF 2009. <3
I demand you put the EVE Future Vision on the Dust website.
My question: 1)Will Dust use the new EVE-gate forums (Which are currently being worked on)? I want to be able to talk on official forums about dust!
2) Will there be a Dustelopedia or will it share the evelopedia?
4)Player Skills In EVE, skills were obtained over time through the training queue. Will something similar exist in Dust, or will skill progression occur from battles and experience?
Thank you for answering our questions, from your NO. 1 fansite ;)
CCP Shadow:
Hey Hublebubble,
IÆll take a stab at what I can here.
DUST 514 will be tied in with EVE Gate further down the road.
DUST 514 on EVElopedia û I honestly donÆt have the answer on that just yet. ItÆs something thatÆs still being discussed.

Ive been a Eve player for a little over a year, and i must say the game continues to get better and better. Dust 514 looks to be a truly amazing game. Have you guys ever considered having Dust players controlled by one Eve player to board another Eve players ship to fight over control of the ship because that would just be down right AMAZING!!!(and give a new definition to piracy)
CCP Shadow:
Ideas of this nature were discussed at the past EVE Online Fanfest in Reykjavik. Needless to say, we loved what we heard, but at this time ship boarding is not what weÆre focused on. DUST 514 is focused on planetary combat.

ôDUST 514 will support purchases made through both in-game earned currency and real money currency.ö
This sounds like the whole ôCan-only-get-the-GOOD-stuff-if-you-actually-pay-for-itö deal.
CCP Shadow:
Nope. It wonÆt work like that, weÆre going to have a balanced system. There will be a secondary market with player-to-player trading. A player can buy virtual goods with real world currency, put it on the market, which can be bought by a player with in-game earned currency. This is explained in greater detail in CCP PraetorianÆs dev blog here: http://www.dust514.com/en/news/article/1980/beginnings

IÆm asking this completely honest: I donÆt care about the MMO universe, what is the hook or appeal for me a non-MMO shooter fan? Yes, I know of the link. No, I donÆt care. What is there to appeal to me with games like Call of Duty or Battlefield or other shooters (some sci-fi, most not) coming out?
CCP Shadow:
The most compelling aspect of DUST 514 is that your battles are meaningful. You conquer territory working with EVE players, or you can do the same with your fellow DUST 514 mercs. DUST 514 is a persistent world, something that other titles out there just donÆt offer.

iÆm guessing that it wonÆt be released this year, given how you just announced it and how massive a project it will be. is it looking like it will be ready sometime next year for release?

I like the look of the game but the EVE Online interaction just brings up a lot of questions.
The main one being, what incentives to players have if they donÆt play EVE? I see a lot of benefits to Dust 514 if you operate in the EVE universe but why will players pick up this FPS over others that are out or coming out (especially with all the new announcements from E3)?
CCP Shadow:
Adrance, the people that DUST 514 will most appeal to are those who want something different from the latest FPS title that they play for a few months, perhaps through a DLC map pack, and move on. DUST 514 is a persistent setting that your actions influence and shape. ThatÆs really what DUST offers that differs from whatÆs currently out there.

Really? No monthly fee? That just sold me and I almost looked right past this game. The ripple effect between the two games sounds very very cool.

Really.
And yes, the ability to influence the setting is what makes this game unique.

This game looks amazing and i love the idea of the game effecting EVE online and vice versa. It gives the game dynamic and depth. Please say there is gonna be a clan option and i dont mean option and i dont mean were you just put tags on i mean actual Clan management were we can invite members and have wars. That would bring alot of interest and players to your game. I cant wait to play when it releases.
CCP Shadow:
Corporations are an important aspect of DUST 514, and there is far more depth to the system than simply æinvite to ClanÆ tools. Corps are a core aspect of the social gameplay that DUST 514 and EVE Online both offer.
