DUST 514 Giant Bomb Community Corp

Hey, duders. Seeing as there's no real benefit for our EVE Online corp, Kite Co. Space Trucking, to take in DUST 514 mercs at this point in time, I went ahead and created a sister corp for all you Bombers to join.

Head to your NeoCom, select Corporation then search for Kite Co. Couriers.

Big thanks to @dinosaurs for suggesting the name!

I'll be accepting apps whenever I can jump on. It's open to anyone who'd like to join.

There's not a lot you can do with corps in DUST right now, but it'll be a good way to find people to squad-up with and, as more functionality is added, it'll be nice to have a group to start with. What we CAN do is overtake some districts on planets in Molden Heath. How this is really beneficial, or the best way to got about it, is not something I've been following, so I've assigned a couple of our more knowledgeable members as Tacticians to handle this for us.

If you're looking to squad up, hit Select to bring up your Social Panel and go to the Squad Tab. From there, you can create a new Squad and then send out invite to other's via name, Corp Chat or Corp Members List.

Your space truck too big? Count on us to get into the tight places.

Kite Co. Couriers

Now...get out there and shoot some people the face!

Hey cool you used my suggestion :D

Hope this corp takes off. Get in there Dust players!

@mr_creeper: Excellent! Thanks for doing this. Will apply when I get home tonight.

From what I'm reading, it sounds like the Dust-EVE connections will give Alliance bonuses for planet control, so if we're in an offcial Kite Co. Alliance, our gains should help EVE production without being members of that Corp. Unfortunately, it also sounds like those gains really only apply to null-sec corps and moon mining, and the faction warfare seems geared around corps dedicated enough to schedule battles, rally defenses, and such.

Shame, because Dust really does need some greater purpose to fight other than building your own skill points.

Cool! I plan on trying out the game soon, so it's good to see a GB community out there.

I submitted my app for it. Can't wait till I'm accepted and I'm rolling with the crew. :)

Count me in.

EDIT: I applied.

I am game. Can't wait to finally play Dust with a crew. App has been submitted.

Thanks everyone for applying. Just got off work, so I'll be accepting the apps in a few.

Cool, I'll apply after work tomorrow.

I'm in. the corp

I just applied. I'm not sure how much I will play, but I want to give it a try and I assume having people to play with will make it more entertaining.

oh em gee, im so happy. i feel so lonely playing this game, Have the guys played this for TNT yet?

Cool beans! I'll be sure to apply. I'm not playing a whole lot right now, but with the update out, I should sneak back in.

@uhohlovehascometotown: Not yet, but they mentioned on today's I Love Mondays that they may be looking at the release this week!

Thanks, again, to everyone that's applied. All apps have been accepted as of this posting. If you're looking to squad up, hit Select to bring up your Social Panel and go to the Squad Tab. From there, you can create a new Squad and then send out invite to other's via name, Corp Chat or the Corp Members List.

GLHB

I will most likely apply when I get a stable internet connection again (should be later this month). I only play sporadically, but it'll be cool to finally have someone to play with.

Cool beans @mr_creeper, very cool beans indeed!

@totendeer: Hope to see you on the battlefield soon, duder.

All new apps accepted as of this posting. Corp skills upgraded to hold up to 200 members. Thanks for joining up; give them people Hell out there. o7

downloading DUST now... for the cause.

I will apply later tonight. Been playing for a few days and it seems like it offers some fun and new things.

Downloading the game right now. Didn't like the beta but I've heard it's changed drastically since then so I will be trying the full release. If I like it, I'll join this corp. thing.

Thomas Space is now a part of Kite Co. Fighting for the cause, whatever it may be.

Jumping on in a minute to accept any open apps; then probably hit a couple matches. B|

Yeah, the overall game is much improved as of the update on the 6th. Better graphics, simpler skill tree layout, new items and polish. CCP is gonna be constantly adding to and refining DUST, so it's definitely one to watch.

Hoping to get into the action tonight, sent my application this morning.

I'm down, I'll join tonight.

Accepted all open apps as of this posting. We're at 37 members now! March on, Kite Co. mercs. o7

Just applied can I get down?

Once I can manage to get in, I'll apply.

Neat! I'm applying right now!

Downloading the game, will apply when I finally get in!

Wow. Just watched Patrick's quick look, so I'm downloading it now, and I'll apply once I get home this evening....or at least, when it's finished downloading. :) Can't wait!

No word of a lie, I just redownloaded the client, and it took about 10 minutes for a 1.3 Gb file from psn. My mind is blown.

Mind you, when I run it, it attempts to update the client and failing, so that is preventing me from playing it

So I have no real clue what I'm doing, but I applied to the corp anyway.

I may not end up doing much outside of some casual play, but who knows. Maybe once I wrap my head around the corp stuff, I might be online constantly.

I accepted in any open app earlier today and will double check once I get off of work. Nearing 50 duders!

I will put in an app as soon as I get the game downloaded. The QL made me decide I must play this game.

I'm still not sure what I think about this game i'm hoping that playing with you all in a corp will make it more interesting.

there is just so much going on with this game and it all has this freemium veneer over it.

Also whats it going to take for the GB eve online corp to accept dust players? You would think the more the merrier but maybe its just me.

I'm just trying to better understand where these games intersect.

how do I follow other corp members into games?

All apps submitted as of this posted have been accepted. Thanks to the Quick Look going up today, we almost doubled members; sitting at 80+, right now.

As @fisk0 mentioned in the other thread, DUST players can join in on the public Giant Bomb Community channel from EVE. I've added instruction to the top-most post.

@devil240z said:

Yeah, I find that when playing with others, the game becomes a lot more fun - just like with any other FPS, for me. I'm really enjoying all the customization and whatnot. I spend most of my time looking at my fits and adjusting them or trying to squeeze just a bit more CPU and PG out of a dropsuit.

The main reason Kite Co. Space Trucking isn't letting in DUST mercs right now is because of security issues. We're at war with a few corps, and it's super easy for someone to make a DUST character for nothing and then send an app that can't be verified via an API key. This gives them access to our corp chat where they can glean information on what we're up to from.

As of this last patch, the two games intersect twice. If I understand correctly: Once for Faction Warfare - where when a complex is under attack in EVE, a battle for the nearby planet will pop-up in DUST for mercs to participate in and add some influence. Secondly, corps can now take districts on planets in the Molden Heath region and set-up infastructure there to assist in the building and upkeep of POS in EVE.

I mentioned in a previous comment on how to join-up with corp mates, but I'll add it to the original post, as well.

Good luck!

I'm not the type to initiate so if anyone squads up while I'm on please send me an invite!

The Quick Look got me interested in trying this game, will apply for the corp when I start playing this weekend.

Hi guys, I'll be putting in an application too. I'm pretty much the sort of player Scoops and Drew were talking about in the QL. Eve really interests me, but I'm not really into MMOs, so here's my way in. Willing to do my part for the Kite Co cause.

Put in application after I mistakenly went for the proper corp. Played for a few hours during the beta. Enjoying it now they've made changes etc...need to get stuck into it.

Hope to get accepted soon. Playing with randoms makes me want to move on to another game. More than half the games I have played, people just stand around or half the team is trying to snipe from the ship.

Will definitely be sending a request when I download it. The QL got my interest up.

Def will being sending a request. I played the beta back then but it didnt play that good. The QL def made me want to hop back in

Hey, guys, just got off stupid work and am ready for a weekend full of EVE and DUST. Oh...and maybe hanging with the wife...if there's time.

All new apps have been accepted. 112 total members! I still have spots open for HR reps to help with approving new apps or tacticians who would be interested in leading us into corp warfare, so hit me up!

Thanks, once again, to anyone who has joined so far; looking forwards to sharing a battle or two with all of you in the future.

Me as Colt Falcone is in.

The only mature thing to do is start drinking whisky and figuring this game out.

I filled out the app. Why? Because I want to shoot people in their space faces, thats why.

Yo, Bombers! I'm jumping on again in about 30 to approve any new apps. Thanks to the crew that squaded-up with me earlier today for the sweet wins and to those of you that stared up the squads to get some games rolling. Looking forward to even more battle tomorrow!

This is great, I'll be joining shortly!

Just sent in my app, might have accidentally sent two actually, but yea!

Would it be fine to send join the corp with 2 other characters later on when there's more slots open?

Submitted my application. The gameplay feels better than it did in the beta days.
