Pretty much suggests there won't be any real time interaction between Eve and Dust since they're on different servers. So I'd expect a spaceship parked in "planet siege" mode to be a resource called upon or destroyed by dust players. And I'd expect it will generate disconnected battles, or dust people can claim resources themselves, because there's no way anyone other than Eve players will wait so long for any action to start.

They should be able to stream data between separate servers. No need for them to be on the same box. Granted, we're still talking quasi turn-based stuff here. It's no different than separate levels in the same MP game intra-streaming data virtually.
