Extraction shooter spinoff EVE Vanguard will let you salvage ships destroyed in EVE Online, then flog the parts back to their owners

  I don’t see why anyone in either game would give a shit about the other. Why would I give you your ship parts back? I’ll just sell it at the market rate. You could offer me the market rate but why even bother contacting me for it when the market has them for the market rate already.

  Sure it puts the games clearly in the same universe with a shared market. But its just joining 2 spreadsheets together.

  Now if the arrangement was sharing the salvage and still living EVE ships can provide fire support to a team getting salvage that could be more of an actual integration between games that matters. Even a small ship in EVE has a bunch of 200mm autocannons with the larger ships going up to a couple metre wide shells.

  FPS players could be given some kind of anti ship weapon installation to fight for as their method of fighting back too. Electronic warfare or some torpedo launchers should do the trick - which would look like an ICBM silo to anyone on the ground near it.

    I guess it might be interesting for orgs (I’m not sure that’s how those are named in EVE lingo). Instead of just gathering ISK to fuel your war, an org could also have a Vanguard branch that would focus on reclaiming parts of the fallen ships in order to lower the costs of running a war

      Opportunity cost. Better to get the most valuable stuff you can rather than something just because it was one of yours.

      EVE is peak capitalism and warfare. Best represented by the Caldari state - which is a nation of mega corporations.
