Creative director of Dust 514 Atli Mar stated during the game’s keynote address at EVE Fanfest that would take fans close to seven years in order to go through every character stat. While he was giving a demo of the game he stated: “Our skill system is similar to the one in EVE online. It uses passive scaling, you earn points that you spend and active scaling that you earn in battles.At current scaling it takes seven years to earn all this.”
During his demo of the game, players on the Playstation 3 version sent coordinates up to the orbiting EVE players on PC. The PC players then rained down orbital fire to support the PS3 troops playing on the ground. It doesn’t get more amazing than that. Add that along with the fact that the game will be free to play for everyone and you have yourself a game worth checking out when it releases.
