Wasn't there some stuff in the news a month or 2 ago about some amarr holders using implants to better control thier slaves. Wonder if that gets adapted to make 'out of pod' cloning possibile in some way.
The "514" name means what??
[quote="Tamahra":331ypquz]so are there definately 514 null sec systems?[/quote]
If what your asking is if DUST will be fought in null-sec, then I would say yes considering that it will affect sov. <!-- s:ugeek: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_ugeek.gif" alt=":ugeek:" title="Uber Geek" /><!-- s:ugeek: -->
If your asking something else, you have just confused me. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->
Still think it means "Hard to Die". This sucks i bet we have to wait till October till we get more info. I would be happy if they release a new screen shot, just one.

My current theory for 514:
Element 5: Boron
Memory and brain function can be improved with boron.
Element 14: Silicon
Silicon is also used in chips to which DNA binds during hybridization procedures.

A foreign substance hovers into the lungs, squeezing past the bronchioles alongside the oxygen
My guess is that DUST 514 could be a new "booster" <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.eveonline.com/background/drugs/">http://www.eveonline.com/background/drugs/</a><!-- m -->
EDIT: Also note the logo for DUST 514: a gas mask and helmet.

I'm sure more breadcrumbs were left long ago to follow. The game has been under development for 3 years after all.
Now that is a new angle. <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->
See what I mean? They can pick any numbers and hint it has some significance and people will find references everywhere. <!-- s:ugeek: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_ugeek.gif" alt=":ugeek:" title="Uber Geek" /><!-- s:ugeek: -->

[quote="JAG Fox":37r43w93]If you listen to Hilmar speak about the dust soldiers, he mentions that DUST 514 relates some way to the cloning of the DUST soldiers, so my guess is that 514 is the number of times that you can die, or somehow relates to the cloning process.[/quote]
Ill agree with this, if its based on the number of times you can die in a mission. Pros can rack up massive numbers of kills in 16 player games on COD and Halo, and considering it was quoted, "Greater then 16, mabye less then 250", well, a game of 250 players? talk about consistant killing, heck mabye one would need 514 lives to have a good attempt, and if players in EvE could attack those on the ground (like that Taranis i think it was in that battle prieview that was shown at that confrence in Germany) well, let the kill count fly <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
Another idea i have about it, is possibably the time it would take (in seconds) to respawn depending on how far away from the cloning vats. this would definately cause a highly tactical match, considering the defenders would reclone faster then that of the attackers, this also brings me back to the EvE Players interacting in the battles, surely if you hired someone to take a planet, they would need your help to truely get past all the high-tech defenses?

the uptime for servers: 5 days a week for 14 hours

lol it could just as easily be the call sign for the race in the videos Marines. Dust = ground troops or what ever and 514 is the detachment.
[quote="Ayers":3eq3jg17][quote="dachucky":3eq3jg17]So far I have seen several ideas.
Just some food for thought <!-- s:ugeek: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_ugeek.gif" alt=":ugeek:" title="Uber Geek" /><!-- s:ugeek: -->[/quote]
Actually you've about got it, so let me spell it out as far as I have figured out. There are 514 null sec systems, you've got the biblical verse right enough and the the Amarrian train of thought so here it goes. Empress Jamyl Sarum, ruler of the Amarrian empire, has been ressurected form the trials of succesion after the death of the previous emperor. The Theology Council, Sarums strongest allies in the Empire has long said that Sarum would rise again and be reborn to claim the throne (which she did in the Emperyean Age book and expansion) and lead the Empire on the Reclaiming.
The Reclaiming refures to reclaiming the glory lost by the previous Emperor who lost control of the Minmatar population as slave, lost a war to the Gallente and the Jovians. Dust 514 will most likely launch with an Eve Online expansion which will see the Amarrians openly at war with the Gallente and Minmatar and the return of the Jovians. Caldari will most likely be allied with the Amarr but perhaps not as the three nations are actually no match for Amarr alone if CONCORD were to fall and I dont see the independent Caldari, who rebeled against the Gallente for things as simple as trade disputes, bowing to Amarrian rule.
Of course I may be so off the mark its not even funny, but I think there is a war coming which will expand the current faction warfare far beyond the scope of the current militia's, the Jovians will return to lend their strength to those who fight for freedom and the shadowy sixth race that is at war with the Jovians will finally be brought into the light of day as the true reason Jamyl Sarum is possesed.[/quote]
It would make sense for the jovians to come back, as we all knwo they eventually will. Keep in mind the jovians were to be the 5th player chooseable race of EVE and they ran out of time, so kicked um out onto the side..... at least from what i have heard.
As far as every1 ganging up on amarr, it wont happen, although it might in a real world scenario like EVE. CCP will def not have every1 gang up on one of the player races.
if the Caldari ever align with the gallente then i will be pissed and will denounce my citizenship and join the ammar militia. i will not care if im fighting Caldari fleets in this case.
What 514 could mean is the 5 races and 14 bloodlines of the EVE universe.
CCP said that its meaning was EVE related and this sounds like a good possibility to the meaning of 'Dust 514'.
During that first showing before EVEfest, he did say the answer was hidden somewhere in the EVE Lore I.E. Chronicles/History. That's all I know. I do like the previous breakdown.
I do believe you are right about the meaning being hidden in lore.
Still funny to look everywhere, since everything screams reference now! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
