Is it true that ground troops will be necessary to take system sov? If so... this is crap.

It's another case of the rich get richer in eve, no-one will ever be able to take sov from an already established power (unless they themselves were established), because a non-nullsec alliance would find it very hard to get enough ground troops or be able to afford a decent ground army...

You don't need to be in an 0 sec alliance to be really wilthy rich, I'm in an corporation who never comes in low sec of 6 guys and 5 of us are really poor ('m talking like 40 million ISK top) but the boss really has billions and billions of ISK, how? He has an incredible POS and many connections in EVE and all players come to him if they need something (myself included). My point: This guy could hire a whole dam'n army probably. So my conclusion: If you work hard enough you will get a foot in!

This -really- needs to be fo PC, too.

I hope to hell they make this for PC.

@Rhysman30

As they've said EVE is more of a simulator now then a game. So welcome to reality... War is fucking expensive, and maintaining territory is even more expensive, better make allies and connections and rise up the ranks of your group of choice to gain influence, otherwise you'll always be bottom man. Done and done.

@SirAlavian couldnt disagree more

[Wobbegonged]

Goddam I am looking forward to this.. I'm an Eve junkie, my husband only likes FPS, this way I will be able to pwn him ingame as well as IRL XD. I really hope this game will be as awesome as it sounds - there's so much potential to this concept. Gogogo CCP!!

Human beings use a keyboard and mouse for PC SHOOTERS.

[SirAlavian]

There's a reason why controllers are the standard in the console industry. They're far more comfortable, not to mention more natural.

@SirAlavian

Also, there's nothing uncomfortable about a keyboard and mouse. It's perfectly natural. If you're having issues, find a keyboard and mouse you like, but your discomfort is a personal problem. It's also perfeectly fitting: it's a FPS, and keyboard and mouse is the best control interface for the entire genre, so if you think it's unfitting, you need to share some of what you're on. Finally, it may be a console game, but normal human beings use keyboard and mouse for shooters.

@SirAlavian

It doesn't contradict anything. The purpose of having it on a console is not to give it the worst control scheme possible for FPS games (controllers), but to increase the number of people giving them money. It will do this either way. All providing keyboard and mouse support does is make it so all of us PC gamers that like GOOD controls won't spend half our play time cursing about the kill/death ratio that would have been 3-5 times better with a mouse. Worst case, I buy a FragFX

[SirAlavian]

Supporting a keyboard/mouse configuration contradicts CCP's decision to release Dust 514 on a console. It's pretty fucking ridiculous that one would choose far less comfortable and furthermore unfitting input devices. It's a console game, make use of the fucking controller like a normal human being. And yes, there will be issues because with the mouse, it's faster to aim.

[sporkwitch]

It's not about want, so much as we're stuck with no other option.

The keyboard/mouse rant is one I've had since the PS2 came out. We've had USB ports on every console, excluding the Gamecube (maybe?) since the PS2 came out, even original X-Box (proprietary connector only, it's a USB port).  No excuse not to support keyboard and mouse other than protecting the controller users from getting owned by the rest of us.

Even had keyboard and mouse support in the PS2 launch port of UT99 and others.

[IbanezLaney]

Who would want to play an FPS on console with noobtrollers when Keyboard/mouse is such a superior control system for this style of game.

MAYBE-PS3's key/mouse compatibility will save it.

Microsoft will rip xbox owners off by making them pay for patches and updates so Xbox is out of the question as a Dust platform.
