We are starting with low security space while we build out this feature. Going straight to null security with an untested feature risked breaking null sec sov with a broken feature. All that would do is make null sec entities hate DUST.
In other words, we still plan to go to null sec. Game Designer | Team True Grit |

Looks like you are starting VERY slowly & just doing it in 1 Winmatar system ( ps: the news link is here Thukker Tribe invites cloned mercenaries to police Molden Heath ) I suspect a few live events might get started here [there be dragons]
Doing the entire Molden Heath region... well any temperate planet... in low sec... Game Designer | Team True Grit |

Vincent Athena wrote:About having to be docked to drop or be kicked from a corporation:
I understand that its to prevent the following: A corp war decs another. The first corp gets into a fight with the other. As soon as one member is called primary that member is kicked from corp. Result: everyone on the other side gets CONCORDed.
Is this still an issue with the new crimewatch? If people have their safety set to green or yellow then they cannot get CONCORDed, right? Even if a wartarget stops being a wartarget right in the middle of being shot?
So, could the docking requirement be rolled back? I know many corps who deal with AWOXers would like to be able to kick anyone, anytime.
Other ideas about when a you could kick a member.
If the member is not docked, the "Kick" order remains pending and is automatically executed upon docking. Make it so any session change is sufficient. Jumping is sufficient to trigger a pending kick order. Make it so leaving grid is sufficient to trigger the pending kick order.
Yes it is still the case and while doing a pending thing would be nice, we didn't have the resources to do something that extensive. Game Designer | Team True Grit |

EvilweaselSA wrote:The one issue I have with planetary conquest right now is that with it being in only one specific region only certain entities (the ones who happen to be close to it) can care about it at all. I hope as you expand it the regions will be distributed around the galactic core rather than expanding out from this one point.
Where and how many times we expand it will primarily depend on how much participation in this feature there is from the DUST side. Game Designer | Team True Grit |

If anyone has experienced the inability to quit a corporation immediately can you please let me know what character and when? That would be awesome! :D Game Designer | Team True Grit |

Those of you unable to quit a corporation instantly, are you hitting the quit corporation button or are you applying to another corporation and having them hit the invite button? Game Designer | Team True Grit |

Yea, that is basically just a drop roles button. Use the quit corporation button from the quit corporation menu when you right click on your name in chat.
We still need to have a drop roles button and should look at renaming that button. Game Designer | Team True Grit |

Paul Clancy wrote:Quote: Bonuses
Corporations that own districts can choose from one of three district types. Each one offeres different bonuses to EVE or DUST, two of them offering bonuses to both. Research lab district bonus:
A decrease in manufacturing time at Player Owned Starbases (POSes) 10% per district owned to a maximum of 4 districts or 40%
Cargo hub district bonus:
A decrease in POS fuel usage 5% per district owned to a maximum of 4 districts or 20%
Sorry, but what's the third distict' bonus? Or it's irrelevant for EVE?
Sorry for the confusion. There isn't one. There are three types of districts, one does not offer a bonus to EVE. Game Designer | Team True Grit |

Solar Rift wrote:Question about Planetary Control from the EVE Side:
I know how to see who controls what from the Dust Client, however, in the EVE Client, I'm trying to see who owns what districts of planets in Dust. I've tried the following:
I've clicked the Sov Button of the system (no info on Corp control of districts there)
I've viewed a temperate planet in question in Planet mode (no options there either)
So - my question is, how do I see who controls what and corp assets should our dust character in the same corporation have control of such a corp asset.
I gotta be missing how to do this. Would someone point out how to do it?
-- Solar Rift
There is currently no way in EVE to see who controls the districts. This is something we plan on fixing, just it is a ways off right now. Game Designer | Team True Grit |

As I stated earlier in this thread, this is on me. I failed to get the change into the patch notes. My sincere apologies. Game Designer | Team True Grit |

Never said we were tweaking the corp UI, that is on an EVE team to do. Game Designer | Team True Grit |
