As said already, it is suppose to start out as a stand alone, separate game, based in the eve universe, that will then be integrated at a later point. Which makes a lot of sense. If they get it to market sooner rather then later, and it sells well they can get some money to toss at its development and help get eve and dust to where they can use this in that. And if it flops, then not a huge deal as they won't need people making updates for it. |

But that is exactly what we heard for DUST 514 and look at where we are at now. It's been many months (anniversary coming up soon), but we still don't have any meaningful market integration between EVE Online and DUST 514.
They said at fan fest that they wanted the dust economy to stand on its own before they made the two complete. It could be they will announce that at fan fest? But lets take this way, so they made EVE VR (Valkyrie) as a side project to test the rift.. but when they had it at fan fest and other places, it was so popular that ccp said 'screw it, lets make it a game' Now lets say Dust is bombing (I have no numbers and when I played a few weeks ago I was in lots of matches with plently of people) So they green lite Eve:VR, but if dust was bombing, they would be size to do stand alone. Anyway, with everything things can change and I think I rambled lol |

Here's the info http://eve-offline.net/?server=dust looks like 3000 people on constant rate hm you could make some decent assumptions on that, at 3k constant... i'd say that's rather good. And about in line with eve during its first year.
anyway Valkyrie.. omg more info please ccp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fan fest is still too far away! |

this would be awesome, i'd love to zip around and 'help' Steve blow up. Or be in Hed-GP, or relive some epic battles form a different point of view and they can be flipped, i.e. I could 'save' steve in this version. With eventually getting Valkyrie tied in so I can zip around in real time, while my carrier/nxy is attacking something and my dust guy is attacking the planet below... yea I tould be hard to play all 3 at once but still!!!! I was the ability too.
edit: over excited makes for a lot of type-os |

But stuff in "current day" could integrate characters, corps, economy, stuff could be built by EVE players, etc.
I could definitely see a historical game in singleplayer, and then something multiplayer that hits Tranquility.
true... still one can dream ;) |

the dfference however, is that dust is not battle on the ground at the same time as say the 2000 v 2000 fight is going on. But if the VR pilots are to be maning our fighters.... not you would have problems. But yea, boo knows |

What could also be cool, is if carriers and supers had a new fighter type, the Valkyrie fighter, if a super launches these, then like the next 10 Valkyrie players that get on, jump into those, and they see the carrier/super's red as red, and get *target 1* when the carrier says engage target, but of crouse the Valkyrie drones are not ai controlled, so they can shoot any red. That would be my dream, you could eve have Valk pilots in your corp, so they can just jump in anytime you launch... that would be a neat feature, you can chose to use the standard AI drones, or use the player controlled ones. And ofc you could have a drone be a **** and turn around and shoot the ship that deployed it. |
