While the shooting game needs work, some of the skills need a hard look (5% per level reduction to pistol powergrid use when the thing only uses 2 pg?), the strength that Dust has over all other shooters is the existing EVE community. The connections to them need to be brought to the forefront, since it is the key to making Dust stand out from the MASSIVE crowd of shooters.
Limiting PC to Molden Heath, and having districts only able to be owned by corporations with Dust members is bad.
PC structure needs to be broadened:
- First off, open it up to the rest of Lowsec, and make the planetary bonuses apply throughout the system, at least until ALL the planets are able to be fought over.
- Bonuses need more looking into and orbital artillery needs to be implemented ASAP.
- EVE corporations should be allowed to own districts, even without Dust members in their corp.
- These corps should be able to create attack/defense contracts that are able to made available based on several criteria set by the issuing corp (W/L ratio, minimum payment, standings, average SP, etc). This can then be the primary means of transferring EVE ISK to Dust.
- District owners should be allowed to tax all PI facilities inside their control.
- District owners should be allowed to attack all PI facilities inside their control with quick, 1-life mini-matches, counter-strike bomb-arming style, with a cool down if the defender wins, just like PC battles. No reinforcement timer needed, let EVE players set auto-defense contracts open to blues and such to be scooped up automatically if their installations get attacked.
Direct interaction with Dust matches on the ground should be broadened:
- EVE players should be able to see the match progress when connected to a district
- EVE Industrials should be able to reinforce troops on the ground with more clones, even if the process leaves the ship vulnerable for several minutes while "deploying."
- EVE bombardments frequency needs to be based on something they are doing, not something the Dust guys are doing. Also, remove war barge precision strikes from PC and FW matches if there are no ships in orbit.
I love Dust514.
But it needs more EVE. Read my idea on how to do this at General Tso's Alliance blog:
