Why can't I scan a planet, get a general idea where a conflict is, and then just randomly rain fire down on the inhabitants?
I would be willing to risk the ridiculously small chance of actually hitting anything. And it would make sense Concord would show up to curb my enthusiastic rain of fire. But dammit, if I want to randomly bombard a planet let me! They can fire back after all. |

That is a problem.
But I do expect CCP to allow interlopers the ability to fire on DUST battlefields un-invited, and to allow invited parties the ability to fire on the inviting DUST bunnies (as the trailer showed), at some point in the near future. Of course, I also expect CCP to provide ways for prepared DUST bunnies to fire back really effectively (and unprepared DUST bunnies the ability to fire back with some effect, I guess). Otherwise, I'm going to be annoyed that CCP's introducing instancing into EVE. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

As I've said in the other threads (that are also on the front page) why exactly would you be able to randomly bombard a planet FULL OF PEOPLE! These are not empty planets with the only things on them Dusties. They are planets with billions of people. And the dusties are fighting over a tiny corner. It would be genocide without consequences since the game code for it would be oh.... Permadeath because all your clone support gets cut off if they were to code an appropriate penalty. Something the game canon has established is entirely possible to do. |

Something the game canon has established is entirely possible to do. So let me play Padishah Emporer and then face the consequences. I thought that was what was so great about this game. Or is the sandbox once again a lie?
And since people did not seem to read what I said that closely let me repeat with more detail, without targeting assist from planetside the chance to hit anything would be remote. I still feel that if a ship can shoot from space...well then let them shoot from space. Let me just click green to red and go for it then face the consequences.
And as a retort, many mineral laden planets would not have billions of people on it. A livable atmosphere is not a prerquisite for a planet to contain something of value. |

So you're saying that guns that can accurately hit a moving frigate at 250km can't hit a stationary football field from 300km? And that the splash pattern of those inaccurate shots is wide enough to constitute a genocidal act?
We're asking to be able to randomly bombard a battlefield on a Planet. Not to be able to glass the whole planet (though, given some of the lore regarding the effects of Titans coming near planets...). This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

Maybe if they ever grant the guys on the ground to shoot back. We've been experimenting with ground-to-orbit weaponry recently to take out satellites in real life. It would make sense in the future we developed some beefier orbit defense/offense systems.
I would actually like to see them have the ability to build long range anti-spaceship installations in conquered districts that would be capable of significantly damaging ships from several AU away from the planet. |

Have you actually seen how huge the blast radius is for the Dust prespective? You can cutt off a huge part of the map by one orbital bombardment, if you can do them randomly it would be like space gods shooting at you out of nowhere without you being able to return fire and they insta kill you if you are hit. And it would cutt off half the objects in space, and good luck running because it comes in almost instantly. Lolwut: "Yes, you kids don't know how lucky you have it. These days noobs get given free tackle ships for PvP but back in the old days the only tackle ships we were given were our pods. We had to use them to bump their rookie ships out of alignment to stop them warping off." |

DUST Players should be able to shoot back effectively against anyone shooting at them.
Being able to shoot at anyone in the system might be a little imbalanced. (Preparing for a fleet fight? Hire both teams of DUSTies and have a ball blapping the enemy's tier3 fleet no matter where they go. Enemy's dropping dreads? Start a DUST fight stacked with your allies on both sides on 3 planets and Alpha through the Dread's siege tank.). This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

I'm sure it would be a brilliant business decision to make an FPS where you could be suddenly and without warning obliterated by a third party who is not even participating in the battle.
Excellent business decision indeed. I'm sure all the players in that FPS would be thrilled and throwing their money at the developer. I mean, who doesn't like surprise deaths like lagspikes, disconnects and game crashes? |

If they control the ground, they should be able to deny access to locations within a certain distance of the planet via searing plasma/antimatter.
They build gun complexes. They shoot at us, and we can shoot back. They build up the guns and we pound them down without the need for boots on the ground. At that point, we're not aiming to capture the gun batteries. We're aiming to annihilate them. |
