That bloody Damsel, always looking for some new station through which to ply her drug trade.
What I would like to do is just dock or somehow board the station so that I can commission a bunch of Dust Bunnies to enter the station, shoot things up and "rescue" the Damsel from her shameful business which is casting an ill light upon her noble and renowned family.
As a capsuleer I would like to hire mercenaries to do my board & capture operation for me because blowing up spaceships and space stations gets a bit repetitive, and the possibility of bypassing all the reinforcement spawns is worth paying a little ISK, especially since it provides more opportunities to network with DUST Mercenary groups.
A success by the DUST mercenaries should result in the EVE mission objectives being accomplished.
A failure by the DUST mercenaries should result in consequences for the capsuleer, such as reinforcement forces arriving while the capsuleer attempts to complete the mission the usual way, or the capsuleer simply failing the mission.
Pathetic non-developer attempt at designing game mechanics follows.
The way this would work from the capsuleer perspective would be:
- Accept the usual blow-stuff-up-and-collect-token mission (e.g.: "damsel in distress", "intercept the saboteurs", "saboteur interception")
- In the mission space, nominate a target to board
- Fill out a DUST contract (e.g.: board this target, collect item X, deliver to me)
- Provide means for DUST Bunnies to board the target (e.g.: I have a module which counts as a boarding system, or I have a means to dock at the Pleasure Gardens)
- Wait
- DUST Bunnies signal that mission is complete
- I collect item (or item is delivered to my hold, courtesy of boarding system)
- I return home without spawning the various Pleasure Garden defense spawns (two waves of regular NPC battleships & cruisers, 1 wave of Zor & attendants)
From the DUST Bunny perspective:
- Search for contracts
- Board & Capture contract shows up
- Accept contract, form squad
- Appear in target environment (e.g.: clone deployment facility is part of boarding system) with a certain number of clones and weapons
- Fight through NPC or player mercenaries to get to objective
- Objective might be a door or container which must be "hacked"
- Once hacked, mission is successful
Other DUST Bunnies will see:
- Search for contracts
- Boarder repulsion contract (from e.g.: "The Seven" for "Defense of Pleasure Gardens from Capsuleer Boarding")
- Accept contract, form squad
- Appear in target environment with certain number of clones/weapons
- Repel attackers through normal attrition mission rules
As a capsuleer, I would prepare for these missions by preparing certain boarding modules with a generous number of clone bodies and a decent supply of weapons e.g.: the boarding module can be used as a container for mercenary weapons while in station.

Why not simply connect dust and eve so you are able to undock and fight and only be able to fight with ships.A lot of people if this happens eve will lose how it is but giving more versatility between ground fights and space would really take eve to next level.I would love to see fleets in a planet invasion with some frigates let s say getting destroyed cause the planet had defenses like some aliens etc and before you lose your ship you eject and then try to find away out of planet with your normal body and some weapons and not always in a ship.

Until dust is on PC I don't want dustbunnies to dictate any of it at all.
Eve is still the main game, don't you forget that.
