There's Eve Valkyrie but it's wasted on requiring a $600 VR headset.

oh I know, but it won't actually affect the EVE Universe, at least for a while apparently

like if they had designed those from the ground up to like affect the EVE universe that would have been really cool

Dust 514 was suppose to have huge changes to the Eve universe and that never happened. So don't believe anything CCP says regarding this. I don't think they know how to get this sort of feature to work. It's never going to happen in their future games assuming those aren't vaporware like they appear to be.

DUST 514 barely affected EVE, but it did have some stuff that affected things. Mostly in the Faction Warfare systems, but the assumption by players was that the PS3 had limitations to it etc. so that's why it was limited.

A PC version could be better suited towards what CCP wanted and proved is possible (to a degree), but who knows what the PC version will be designed like.

Everyone that was smart told CCP over and over again to just bring Dust 514 over to PC and PS4 and work on it there, and of course they ignored all logic and have decided to work on a game that costs $600 to play.

you can't really tie in the games much unless the FPS component has enough players.

It only ever had any impact on FW areas because... some of those nerds took FW seriously enough to play a lovely console-based FPS to ensure certain systems never flipped (or flipped faster).

Most of the time, outside of highly contested systems however, it just didn't matter, at all- ever.

I have this little "Infantry" number on my eve chatbox and it has always been zero, does that mean nobody plays/played DUST?

It means you have not traveled to the faction warfare systems where you could theoretically see a Dust player.

There were only 12 solar systems where you could see Dust players on that list.

I went through my skillsheet in prep for sp trading on Tuesday and I have 4,336,920 worth of poo poo I wanna pull out of my head. I'll need 8 1/2 extractors but I think I can aurum up the first two or so then toss the filled 500k injectors on the market and use that to make my way through the rest of the extractors I need.

The diminished returns on high sp guys are godawfully retarded. If I wanted to respec or reinject my poo poo, each 500k sp injector only gives 150,000 sp to a high sp character, I forget what the threshold was, 80m sp or so.
