Im sure you've all heard by now the awesome new game comming out of CCP. Thats right, Dust 514 Online is due out next year after 3 years of secret development. The details of Dust 514 Online are still scarce but what we do know is:
* Dust will be an MMO in its own right, not just an extension to EVE.
* Dust is planned for release on the current generation of consoles, with no PC version being mentioned thus far.
* Dust players will be privy to a form of the EVE cloning system.
* Dust players will be able to buy configurable, modular vehicles and weapons.
* The Dust battlefields will include a Battlefield-style commander system and RTS elements.
* Permanent structures can be deployed inside battlefields for a particular session of the game.
* EVE players will be able to fund and arm the Dust troops.
* Planets will be divided into distinct districts, and battles will likely take place over individual districts.
* EVE players can contract Dust mercenary groups to invade planetary districts on their behalf.
* Dust will form part of the EVE sovereignty system for faction warfare and 0.0 territorial warfare.
* According to the game-play footage in the video presentation, attacks may be planned from the control deck of a kind of orbital station or ship.
In order to start developing a community and discussion for Dust 514 I have setup a new fan-site www.dust514online.com .
This website will provide you with the latest news and ideas on the Dust 514 MMO and we have forums to share your thoughts on the game. We have some exciting new promotions to help grow our fan-site community coming up, register now and join in the discussion to get a heads up.
We are all long time EVE players and are looking forward to Dust 514 for the consoles, we hope you join us!

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Sweet Jesus yes! Ok, I’m a grown man and I don’t normally talk like that but seriously?! This sounds AMAZING! I dislike the gameplay of EVE but I believe the world of EVE is wonderful and like nothing else out there. I thrive on FPS and RTS alike and this gives me a chance to interact with the world I enjoy but with the game play I excel at. Seriously!
My mind is racing with possibilities! I would love to find a Corps in the game and essentially swear loyalty to them…or maybe hire my mercenary skills over to the person with the most ISK. Maybe you could build structures on the planet, after “cleansing” it of course, which would add area affects (increased resources from mining/armor repair for nearby ships/increased storage on nearby space stations/etc…) or defensive structures which could fire on nearby enemy ships and they, in turn, could fire on the planet and destroy permanent structures but not necessarily harm people on the planet. You could invade a rival’s planet and scorch the earth, then leave it barren and move onto another target.
Too many ideas are flowing thru my head right now to write them all down. One thing I hope CCP doesn’t change is the stealing, cheating, conniving aspects of the EVE universe. Oh, I’m FINALLY excited about a game title once again!
That's the spirit!
What would be cool if i could use my Eve avatar when i play. That would be awesome!
Fly a speceship then switch to my xbox 360 to fight on a planet= priceless!!!
Played : WOW, LOTRO, COH/COV, EQ2, SWG, and WAR.
Playing EVE Online and AOC.
Wtg for SW:TOR and WOD
One thing I will warn you: even if Dust seems to play like a relatively ordinary FPS style shooter, the fact that you will be affecting sovereignty means that you'd better be prepared to deal with extensive metagaming from day one. Spies, saboteurs, teamspeak spies, fake contracts, scamming, lying, treachery. You'll probably be shocked at how seriously some people take their internet spaceships, and you'll be in contact with people for whom dealing with the above is the norm.
If the game structure allows it, then consider my advice
(1) Never deploy more than a fraction of your personal assets on any one op.
(2) Always have an escape or fallback plan.
(3) Dont trust anyone more than you have to, even your in-game "friends". I'm constantly appalled by the lack of awareness of simple op-sec procedure (eg: dont gab about an upcoming op to your "friend" in another clan) even in spaceships EvE, where you'd think people would know better. Why be that kind of fool?
(4) Scouts.
(5) Dont ever, ever whine about an "unfair fight". Doing that is pretty much pouring chum into the sharkpool.
(6) Whatever you deploy on an op should be considered as lost. Anything you get back is a bonus.
(7) No-one wins every fight. Deal with it.
(8) There's always someone better than you. Deal with that too.
Give me liberty or give me lasers
Thanks for setting up a fansite for DUST 514 girsnoopy. I cant wait for the game to be released. After hearing that you would be able to fund your soldiers for the FPS I figured I would have to play EVE so I wasnt at too much of a big disadvantage. Anyone know if DUST 514 will require a subscription aside from, say, xbox live membership costs? It'd be great if they had like a joint deal for EVE and DUST so you would only need to pay 20 a month to have a subscription for both games. But heres to hoping DUST doesnt require a monthly subscription! I guess I can speculate that you can buy game time for DUST (if theres a monthly subscription) with ISK.
Also, very nicely put Malcanis. I guess its time for me to get into espionage ;D
