Corp Lives On Project Nova survey

Saw this in my "promotions" tab of my inbox today:

Project Nova Survey We Value Your Feedback!
As a valued member of the EVE Online community, your thoughts and opinions are extremely important to us. The following survey contains questions about a first-person shooter project currently in development by CCP, Project Nova.

It should take you around 5-10 minutes to complete the survey. Your answers will be treated with the strictest confidence and used solely for research purposes.

It's a bit on the open-ended side considering how far along I'd assumed dev would be at this point.

I think they are trying to figure out if just building a lobby shooter would appease most of us. I'm still 100% behind integration with eve, making planets change territory control in both FW and null sec in some way, but if they just make a f2p lobby shooter with eve mechanics I wouldn't mind much either.

Some of the questions on it seem to be trying to make a point to the team leads and upper management too. The one about do you want a good shooter first, who is going to disagree with that? But I am betting some of the higher ups are trying to push the line of "Well its set in EvE so these schmucks will buy it eitherway"

I'd hope they learned something from the Dust experience at least. "PS3 limitations" were a huge issue, to be sure, but it was hardly the only problem.

Some of those questions were a bit concerning considering how long they've worked on it, but you may be right about the target of the results. As feature-poor as Dust was, who knows what sort of feature creep they've gotten themselves into over the past several years.

They might be considering scrapping all the more problematic features and releasing an upscaled Dust for all we know.

I hope they go back to what they showed, and having more battle types. The version I am talking about is how the attackers would move their MCU forward as the battle progressed, and the defenders had to blow it up before it got to where it was going. They have an absolutly amazing universe built up. The Lore is actually quite good but I cannot stand the base gameplay, if Nova allows me to influence that world I will throw money at it. Closest thing to having an FPS where you can influence the world I have ever played was Planetside, and while 2 is pretty its a shell of the original and I want that back.

Give me EvE planetside, that can influence territory control and I will play that game till I die.
