From the Dust 514 FAQ: "If the EVE capsuleer is not a member of FW he will not be able to connect to the district or receive strike requests at all."


Well, I am glad that I have told all my PS3 playing friends (and relatives!) to try Dust 514 during the closed beta.

And, for what? I won't eve be able to even see what it is about from the Eve side. At all.

Thanks CCP! Again.

On top: itGÇÿs the very FIRST iteration of the EVE-Dust Link, with Dust only being Closed Beta at the moment. Keep cool. Mine Veldspar. Shoot red crosses. But please donGÇÿt whine if the link doesnGÇÿt affect you at the moment.

what would happen is a single ship was equipped with half of one type of gun and half of another?

Well the big question "Should players outside of FW and sov really care about DUST Bunnies?" still remains without an answer. And I mean not now when it is beta and basically in test phase but in the end. What is a big picture here? Or rather is there anything really big waiting for those of us who don't participate in Eve politics powerplay.

Maybe in some months we Capsuleers can configure our planetary colonies like dungeons in Dungeon Keeper (if you know the game), with NPC obstacles, traps, and terrain features. That would solve another problem that CCP faces as well: Dust Content. If EVE players developed the battlefields, CCP would have less work to do. And it would be fun to watch how our coloniesGÇÿ defenses against nasty invading Dust Mercs worked out ;-)

For now nothing for us simple capsuleers shooting people for no other reasons than fun. I understand NDA and keeping sikrets from competition but they could throw us a bone :)

I'm more than a little annoyed by the PSN exclusivity of Dust 514.
Work to make this available on other platforms please.

The DUST merc's corporation does NOT have to be enrolled in FW to accept these contracts. DUST CEOs/Directors can accept a contract from any faction at any time (even if the EVE side of their corp is enrolled in FW on the other side or if the corp has bad standings with that faction! A true mercenary fights for the highest bidder)

This iteration of Orbital Bombardment is focused on the Tactical Strike variant which is performed with specialized ammo for small turret based weapons. Each turret category has a specialized ammo type: - Hybrids: Tactical Hybrid S - Lasers: Tactical Laser S - Projectiles: Tactical EMP S

The hybrid strike delivers a nice spread of high-damage rounds that are effective against infantry and vehicles. Laser strikes have a more focused area and are good for taking out installations or heavy vehicles. The EMP strike does a massive amount of damage to shields in a large area, but it will not damage armor, so it's good against heavily shield tanked targets.

You can travel to one of the systems where a NPC Mercenary corporation is stationed and talk to them in local. They can be found in the following systems:

Ana, Marthia, Kothe, Soshin, Saikanen, Autama, Jolia, Adacyne, Halle, Egbonbet, Javrendei, Kasrasi, Mesokel, Etav, Gosalav, Charra, Sahdil, Paye, Iro, Mimen, Tidacha, Dihra, Mastakomon, Vouskiaho, Vahunomi, Purjola, Usi, Inoue, Oshaima, Vuorrassi, Atai, Croleur, Ney, Dodenvale, Estene, Uphene, Odixie, Torvi, Ommare, Klaevik, Eldjaerin, Geffur, Dantbeinn, Amo, Freatlidur, Sist, Rokofur, Offugen

These systems will correspond to the various DUST merc NPC corps that characters joined upon creation

Could we not get DUST messages in the eve client please? Locks up the game for information about dust players having to restart their PS3. Not really what I say useful information.

Is this on PC yet???

This. ^^ In addition how can I remove them from my local channel and station list.

I am one of the unfortunate Eve players who had them dumped in my home system/station. The station list is clogged with masses of them and the local is frustrating everyone (them also) due to two totally different games being talked about in one channel.

Not part of FW, and not whining about not being part of the planet-bombing, just curious: The FAQ says


OK - so I went to some of these systems, and yet no signs of infantry. In fact no signs of FW. Will DUST mercs only be visible in local if you are doing FW? And the DUST corps, will they have offices at stations like EVE corps, or are they only accessible via personal communication in local?

On top: itGÇÿs the very FIRST iteration of the EVE-Dust Link, with Dust only being Closed Beta at the moment. Keep cool. Mine Veldspar. Shoot red crosses. But please donGÇÿt whine if the link doesnGÇÿt affect you at the moment.

So from what I gather (and I could be wrong) is you are not a part of FW? Who's fault is that now? Ah yes CCP's and not your own. It has been made clear for a while now that you need to be in FW for this.

Join FW and you'll be set.
It's the best part of eve anyway.

Yes, that is right. It is "my fault" that I am not a member of FW.

I forgot, if I do not do what you and CCP want me to do with my time in this game, it is my fault.

I will immediately observe your wishes.

Can't log in this morning...cluster isn't accepting connections.

I am glad you can see the way it should be. If in fact you are being sarcastic, you need to work on it. Further more you do need to come to terms with the fact of what DUST 514 is and how much of a vital role it is in lowsec and it has no business in highsec at all. I am sure you can cease with the QQ and move on. If you cannot then I wish you luck with whatever it is you wish to do.

Hi ah... you,

My FPS dropped to ~17 instead of ~30. A couple other people have said they noticed Eve being sluggish as well but haven't seen it posted yet so here it is.

The whole point of the hype about 'nuke it from orbit' was the griefing potential. Looks like no griefing options. I am disappoint.

Hadn't realized FW = Low-Sec, as you imply. Strange, though, that during my (extended) time in low-sec, I never seem to have encountered any FW, of importance. *shrug*

Keep trying. You do eventually grow up. Eventually.

Not sure about about anyone else's Corp, but my Corp can not send Corp mails to DUST players. We have to put each individual name into the To: block on the mail in order to send it mail to DUST players.

I can confirm that I have seen a drop in FPS and some chop (sluggishness) in game since the round of dust patches began, most noticeable in this last one.

I have also had a couple of corpies mention this too.
I've seen some folks mention disconnects, but the random drop of one client or 2 on my system and not the other logged in clients, but that's been happening for a while so likely not related?

Celly

Why can't dust players use "official" chat channels? And by official like the language channels and so on.

Since the Dust migration my Mac client has been VERY crashy.

Was good before.

I dont know if its only me but I have problem with corp management window. When I try to change roles some of the members are displayed x3 . If I try change any role after reopening window nothing changes. Bug? or maybe something wrong with my client

Quick middle question...

Can u transfer ISK and AUR between EVE players and DUST players... Or is there any way to do it?

tenx on quick stupid question...

MR J

Eve and Dust players cannot have a voice conversation via eve voice even if Dust Players bought a TVU. It's really annoying because it's working in every other channels of communications

I apologize. I didn't realize I had to spell out obvious points. To adults.

But, in my mind, if a company comes out with some "ground-breaking" new game, one would want its players, and not just a few of them, to become excited and involved. From the start.

I use to be the former. I am now neither.

The only trouble I can see now is last night my Maulus was cap stable when I logged off. When I logged in today it shows my cap will be gone in 40 seconds. However, when I fly with my MWD on my cap loses only one bar and that is it. Clearly that is a bug that needs to be looked at as it might cause a problem with future ship fitting.

+1

Although I am able to un-check the 'Show Infantry' in the Membership Settings for the local channel, it will temporarily clear the infantry from the membership list, then as they chat in local again they are added back and shown in the membership list again.

These players do not affect my game play and I have a better use for local. The un-checked 'Show Infantry' should permanently block them from showing up in local.

I will double check on this but I believe it has something to do with the channels not being real channels and based on your session... or something. Guess I am talking crap now. Either way I will try and get an answer for you.

Any chance I can get some examples of what channels are causing this?

I tried to join the swedish channel named "svenska" joining "svenska" from dust gets you into another channel by that name in dust only.

Inviting from EVE gets you a "you are not permitted to join this channel" message in dust.

However, joining "swedish" in dust, gets you into the channel named "svenska" in EVE. So a translation thing.

Also trying to invite from EVE, channels like EVE-Radio does not show up on the invite list, since EVE-Radio also is some typ of "special" channel in EVE.

/c

Well that is a big of text... hopefully that answers some questions. It is only the last two pages though but I need to start getting ready to head out tonight. I will try and come back to this tomorrow though.

Take care guys and I shall be back!

Thank you. :)

So for some reason whenever i join an instant action game no matter how well i do i only get 50xp but a couple if hrs ago i was getting well above 5000 xp a match wats happened?

I too thought that I could get to do some orbital bombardment, but no, I am not in FW. That feels not so good as game developers advertise big things years before release and when it is finally released nothing happens, because the FPS part is only on PS3. Then after some more time, again nothing happens, because the Eve part is on the test server. Then later nothing happens, because it is only in FW.

So far what I have got out of Dust 514 is that first I noticed Dust players can join Eve chat. Now I actually saw one Dust player on Eve chat. That is pretty much it. Then I went back to mining some more ore.

Small improvements over time is good - though even there we got for example round aiming sights to replace the old square ones. Really? What was wrong with the square ones? Were they too square? I think there was more urgent things to improve than the sights, and I even liked the square ones more, so it wasn't even an improvement.

Not sure I follow. You are saying you can have a voice chat in ever other channel, just not... not which ones? Or do you mean the voice chat does not work but other forms of communication like text chat and EVE mail do work?

and who's fault is that? Not CCP's for your lack of research. Hell I have only been playing EVE now for almost 2 months and I know more about DUST 514 and EVE than most season vets because of one of the many things people fail to do......research. Try it some time.

Hey CCP FoxFour, I prettied up your Bunny NPC table... wasn't sure of each corp's empire affiliation so I used the station they were housed in... You might give it a gander and see how you like it (and check it for accuracy).

Hello. Umm apparently when a Dust player is add to a corp. The dust player brings in a 0 standing to everything the corp is in standing with. Even though their isnt a standing system with Dust players. Can you please make Dust members N/A for standing and not count towards equal member of a corp so that the dust player doesnt bring down the standing average.

*** Sorry i'm french and I've not read the text I posted a second time ... So

Dust players and Eve Players can chat via text in communication channels created by both Eve Online players and Dust 514 players even in Corporation Communication Channel (Corp).
Dust players and Eve Players can have a Eve Voice/PS Voice conversation via Microphone and headphone in communication channels created by both Eve Online players and Dust 514 players.

BUT

Dust players and Eve Players cannot have a Eve Voice/PS Voice conversation via Microphone and headphone in Corporation Communication Channels (Corp Chan), even if Eve online client is perfectly set and Dust client have a TVU.

I have been looking everywhere, and I have found some forum posts but nothing official. If I missed something I appologise.

We want to start adding our bunnies to our eve corp, but we require a api key to do so to work within our ecm system. I have seen information saying that dust uses a crest api system but I cant find anything anywhere about where someone can get there crest api from. Is this something that is not implimented yet, or am i missing something, or does dust not have a api system at all ?

I appologise for wasting your time on something like this, but thanks for the work on the dust system and look forward to shooting them at some time soon.

Oh and also, is there a timeframe in ccp's mind to when dust will effect fw sov, or is it too early to have a rough idea ? Im sure everyone is working hard at bugfixes now anyhow...

I have no idea if this is related to the recent patches, or a pre-existing issue that is just now coming to my attention (although it seems to me it wasn't an issue in the past)

I purchased a legion today, and cannot view it in the station, in the ship model viewer in the information tab, or in space. It is the same when trying to click the 'look at' option to view someone else in space when they are flying any T3 cruiser. This leads me to believe my client is not loading the model for any t3 ship. I've tried clearing the settings and the cache, with no results.

hoping someone has had a similar problem, or can offer a solution for me that doesn't involve reinstalling 500gb of eve again.

thanks in advance

There's a daily cap on the amount of SP you can receive. After that point you gain 50 SP per match played.

Missiles impossible as attack weapons due to laser defense?

If missiles are targets -- then armed ships should be targets even sooner.

I think we should stick with the original suggestion that disputed worlds rely on EVE ships to protect them from space borne attacks. Once CCP has basically said regional planetary politics have locked planetary defenses and militia out of the picture it should apply to everything. Stable unified planetary government does not exist and most frontier worlds cannot afford planetary defenses or trust them not to shoot down shuttles and shipping of rival factions (harming overall planetary growth).


I think Fozzie should just come out and say "I don't like missiles & won't have them in my game. Missiles are not FPS and do not market well in MMO IMHO" (LOL) At least that would be an out in the open position like those RL military extremist who feel their weapon system will supplant all other weapons systems in the future. (No tanks vs all tanks and submarines vs surface aircraft carriers is fun enough but the Marine Infantry guys who expect anti-matter infantry rifle and AI UAV to supplant all other weapons are a scream.)

Why would planets have anti-missiles defense that ships do not have? CCP has no anti-missile phalanx option in space where its a perfect environment (vacuum = no atmospheric irregularities to throw off shots). 7 km/sec missiles are not out maneuvering 300000Km/sec laser beams after firing.

I can see making the guided missiles consume double volume to hold more decoys and countermeasures.

I can also see making the rockets split out as 100s of fairly dumb MIRV arriving from multiple directions over large area...making individual targeting impractical due duty cycles.

Speedwise keep in mind that projectiles and hybrid ammo is subject to the same atmospheric issues as missiles.
Realistic RL proposals for space bombardment at over Mach 15-25 or lasers usually involve firing several sacrificial lead projectiles or missiles or charged beams to create a short lived vacuum tunnel through most the atmosphere - through which subsequent projectiles, missiles or lasers are fired for effect.

Plus the leading tip of the cheapest hypersonic missiles will probably always be basically the same as slugs used as projectile or hybrid ammo...the part that makes it a missile is made "safe" behind the bow wave of that simpler tip. But even a slight advance over RL high end Mach 7-8 missiles would be adequate.

And lasers...well ignoring that EVE has no anti-missile lasers when the simplest physics say that would be ideal in space even for fastest missiles of 7km/sec (versus light speed 300000km/sec)

Lasers fire for effect are also slowed by atmospheric complications even if only by a few seconds...the weaponized beam is fired based on feedback from a target beam that measures variations in air refraction that bend and diffuse laser path. Further while atmosphere slows a missile and reduces the effectiveness of pure maneuver (speed obviously not being the reason anti-missile lasers are not used in space) -- atmosphere adds a number countermeasures not available in space. Ionization masking and blurring of real missile from decoy warheads being one in real life use since the 1970s. Mini-chaff and flare charges can be fired ahead a short distance to disperse light absorbing clouds. Short lived active decoys. Persistent ionized charges (ball lightning) . And number of other effects can mislead, deflect, or ameliorate planetary defense.

Would there be any way that a filter could be placed on the guests tab in the station the Dust players show up in? Or possibly creating a separate infantry tab? It's hard to find the 1 or 2 players I'm trying to trade with amongst the 150+ Dust players.

Thank you. :)

im Having ui problems, my inventory closes when i enter and leave the station, this is happening since the merge with dust.

The crime watch system is nice, but changing the gate/dock flag so it stays after your ship is destroyed is something that should be changed. There should be no reason your pod should keep the same crime status especially since it is fragile and unarmed.

As with all other crash/performance issues PLEASE submit bug reports from within game. It helps us unbelievably and if you can include system specs along with any other information you can it is double helpful.

This orbital strike deal is cute but it feels like :

1. ... it is a waste of time for a capsuleer;
2. ... it has too few incentive to do;
3. ... isn't really cool because you act on a merc's remote control;

Blegh.

Do not speak as if you include everyone.

Lawl. I'm so sorry that you couldn't read my post properly.

*I* think it sucks. Better, Nancy?

Much better! I am glad you came to realize the error that you made. Next time you will hopefully remember this lesson we shared together.

Why do we not have ability to turn off Infantry Chat in our locals?

I want to see EvE chat, not the test tube bunnies.

They are not paying for my local, I am.

Well, no, not really. You actually misunderstood my post, so I had hoped you'd reread and get a clue which, obviously, isn't the case.

I do however understand not everyone has the same level of English on these forums, so I'm including the following link, hoping it will help you : http://www.english-online.org.uk/course.htm.

You're welcome

Hi as a struggling new trader I have come up against what I perceive to be a glitch with EVE statistics that is caused by the incorporation of DUST into the EVE server.

When I look at the statistics in the Star Map, specifically how many 'Pilots are docked in station' I took that statement at face value. I planned a strategy which took time and the gathering of materials based on the idea that the far flung stations to which I would be travelling had EVE Pilots in them.

Imagine my dismay when I get to my first station and find it full of DUST players with whom, to the best of my knowledge, I cannot interact. Perhaps more experience with EVE would have saved me making the error I did, but I am sure I am not alone in being the only EVE player who has no interest in DUST (at the moment) and believes it doesn't impinge on my game play.

The last conception is a mistake while the statistics in the Star Map obviously include DUST players under the heading of "Pilot".

I have to wonder how skewed the other stats included in the Star Map are with the inclusion of DUST.

Would it be possible please to clarify the statistics.. at the very least to state: "people/characters" rather than "Pilot" where the two games interact please?

Cheers

The turning off of dust players in local chat is still broken. You can set a setting to block them but it does not hold. Annoying.
