Velocity Gamer: We don’t know much about EVE Online, but when there’s a major battle occurring in the universe, it seems like everyone wants to know about it. As of right now, there’s not a ton of information available about the battle to share, as most of the people who took part have yet to blog about it etc, but we do have some crazy images and statistics to share with you.

At this point I don't believe player corps can give Dust players contracts.
Here's what warpdriveactive says about the public beta:
DUST tries its best, and even gives you some adjustable settings to help with the sensitivity of each control axis, but the reality is this: you will be fighting the controls the majority of the time you play this game.
I also hope you like grenade spam and bunny-hopping, there’s tons of both of those here even though most modern shooters have found some way to mitigate both in some capacity
Respawning is an unacceptably long experience with DUST 514: you’re looking at around a minimum of 20 seconds (yes, I’ve timed it) between that bullet that put you down and stepping back on the Skirmish battlefield as a new you
What will really make you laugh is when you’re down to one second on that ten second spawn timer and someone successfully hacks the control point you were trying to spawn at: because that cancels your spawn and you have to pick a new spawn point, with a new ten second countdown
I have to talk about the framerate first, because this is one of the biggest gripes I have with DUST 514. There are times when things are smooth, but those times are usually when my mercenary is alone in the corner of his quarters doing nothing but staring at the wall.
In combat, the game has a horribly inconsistent framerate, dropping well below 30fps frequently.

That's just one.
What was the battle over anyway?
Man those images are awesome
$10,000 in real money was lost in the battle.
That's a lot of money to just vanish into nothingness.
If only the game was more involved in terms of actually flying the ships etc.
Imagine a game world where you have proper pilots, engineers and real persistent worlds. You and a crew and can fly into a planet, no loading times, go in to drill resources etc.
Then you have a Citadel type base like in Mass Effect full of real players, real pirates, pilots, heroes, council members, real economy and global events.
One day!
I tried playing this game once but it felt like it would've taken me years just to understand how the game works
I got a message needing reinforcements from my clan, I finally join and the battle was for a tiny space station. some random dumbass from another clan attacked one of our lesser bases, well it turn out he was in a large clan(CFC) with alot of alliances(OTHER CLANS).
I know ill end up spending my whole paycheck saying fuck it. I've wanted this game. Dust should be awesome once its finally completed.
1. Eve isn't all PvP and you don't get killed everywhere you go. I've been in low sec (under .5 security level) and you don't get instantly killed as soon as you enter the system.
2. There are high security systems (highsec) which are "relatively" safe. The game has a NPC security force called CONCORD which will attack anybody who goes after another person in 1(highest sec level) to .5 (lowest level security where CONCORD will respond). There are thousands of systems in higher security where you can be safer but not completely safe.
3. I've never been attacked in high security space. I've seen others attacked but CONCORD shows up quickly and you can't outrun/destroy them. THEY WILL KILL YOU if you attack somebody else.
4. There are tons of things you can do in the game. You can mine asteroids, go on missions, join clans (corps) and do corp warfare and PvP. You can PvP solo but it can be dangerous, you can research, manufacture, trade, and set up resource gathering on planets.
5. The Eve economy is player run and driven. Everything you can buy except a couple of things like original blueprints, are made by players who either mine their own resources or buy resources from miners.
6. A corp is just like a clan so you can make friends if you want. A lot of people will tell you to join a corp but it's optional. I have talked to people who've played for years and never joined a player corp.
7. You can pay for your monthly subscription cost with PLEX. PLEX can be bought with real money or bought with in-game money, essentially if you make enough money in-game you can play without any out-of-pocket cost.
If you're on the fence about this game, check it out. I was apprehensive to try because everybody told me "you're going to get killed no matter what you do" and "you're not safe anywhere" and blah blah blah. It's really not like that. Get a trial account and see for yourself.
EVE sounds interesting but intimidating at the same time.
