DUST needs to be part of the sov system.
It's basically the only way DUST will matter to EVE players enough for integration to work.
Orbital pilots need love.
Sitting over a district for twenty minutes, unable to hear team chat or see how the game is progressing just doesn't work. They need to be able to join team chat, and see the MCC healths, objective captures, and clone counts. Honestly, if possible, the kill log would be nice to see during the match of who killed who with what weapon too.
Economy
Like seriously. I want progress on this. |

Disagree. I think if DUST could **** someone else's PI, they'd care.
It'd be a nice half-step, but I don't think it's enough. Planetary Conquest in DUST is about conquering territory. And why should DUSTies care about just interfering with some EVE carebears' POS fuel?
(Though the horrible sov system we have prevents a good method to make DUST help sov without being required for sov. We kinda need a new sov system, and that's a whole 'nother EVE expansion. It's not a Little Thing to add DUST to sov.) |

But you don't just have to make EVE care about DUST, DUST needs to care about EVE. DUSTies want to claim planets, not shoot up a mining operation.
And what would you do about the fact that that would simply render Temperate planets a bad investment for PI? I mean, you could conceivably open PC up to Barren planets easily (just don't use grass textures, basically), but most of the others would require a significant development effort CCP isn't prepared for any time soon. |

Nobody's forcing EVE Players to "play DUST". But EVE players will need to hire mercenaries that do. |

That'd be a great short-term solution.
I think long-term, I'd personally like to see a more dynamic sov system, where it's based on % control, and stations, and structures, and districts and everything all contribute towards that, with the largest percentage holder having sov. In that way, districts could be a direct component in sov, while still remaining optional for system control.
But I doubt CCP is ready to rewrite the sov system for DUST yet. Reducing resistance on structures would be a great way to fit it into the existing system. |
