(First post woot!) Yes. Dust 514 is a little more complicated than just airstrikes. It's like playing age of empires but with real players on the ground. So you are controlling real people from the EVE-Online point of view. Depending on what you supply your Mercs with,(such as vehicles, weapons, auto-turrets, etc) it will effect the outcome of the battle. We (eve-online players) pay mercs (dust 514 players which also includes me) to gain control over planets in a real-time first person shooter.
