I hope CCPs designers are thinking carefully about how their new game will affect us in Eve. Right mow our planets are safe and indestructible, but soon all the worlds could become contested battlegrounds. How can we defend ourself? Not much is clear, all we know at this point is that bombing runs will be available, but that in itself requires carriers, unless they plan on adding bombers as independent vessels.
What I propose is that we make planetary defense a viable option. Small shield generators that cover a base sized area with modest power and heavy shields which protect the whole planet. Ground based lasers, rail guns, hybrids, missiles, and autocannons on varying scales could deter vessels in atmosphere or even in orbit. I'd just like to see some ways implemented that would make invasion almost require sabotage of planet defenses before ground troops rush in and just destroy billions of Idk worth of infrastructure.

I pretty sure that's a given. either colonies with have automatic defenses or the player will add their own.
Otherwise it will be a case of dust players landing on the planet and walking straight into a command center with no resistance. |

TBH I dont think Dust will actually "keep his promises" There seem to be way too much work to do for that to happen any time soon in EVE It's kind of an ambitious project, so unless CCP cancels the next 2 extensions of EVE to work on the EVE-side of Dust....
I get the feeling EVE/Dust linking will be mostly remote. |

Unfortunately I feel the same way. Most likely when it first comes out, all planets will have an automatic garrison which will be its first and last line of defence. |

dust players are only fighting "on eve planets" if they accept a contract to do so, they are mercs, dust players can fight without eve interaction. chances are highsec PI will not be conquerable by dust players and if it was it would be waste of isk anyways |
