We fight over the control point (Domination, basically) Whatever team is in control can get targeting data from ships EVE side (For instance, A FC in EVE can target a ship and have the cannon fire at it) And the Cannon does say, 1,000,000 damage, with a 5 min cooldown, but can only target capital ships. This gives EVE a vested interest in Dust, and gives us mercs a feeling that we can make radical changes in this universe we are in.
That is off-topic as fk... and you should feel bad. |

Say Corp A wants to Invade Corp B, but they don't want to risk losing any Vehicles so they can defend themselves better when they get attacked.
So Corp A Puts up a Contract for 15 Mil ISK to Invade Corp B's district.
The Contract is Put into the Queue for being put up on the Merc Contract List at the Time the Battle is happening.
Corp B Gets an Alert saying "you are going to be attacked, do they want to put this battle up to contract" and the Same thing happens here that happens like when the Attackers put up the Attack.
It gives grinding something Worthwhile to it, as well as having it affects the climate of the Game.
This, Plus a Political Ticker would make the Average Player more knowledgeable to the Politics Behind what happens in PC and the like.
I like the idea. An alternative to just blowing your own money to launch an attack. But, such a system could essentially destroy the purpose in controlling districts, and make holding districts even more difficult and less desirable.
That potentially takes PC out of corporate control, and puts it on the winds of chance. If anything, we need a way of mitigating the amount of PC matches that are launched via an zone-of-control or front-line system of some sort... not a way to generate more.

How does this make PC harder then it already is?
You said it. Absolutely everyone will constantly launch an attack now.
That's what would make it even more difficult.
As it stands now, a corp wanting to breach into PC, simply needs to gather the amount of money, thankfully which is higher than 15 million isk, and launch an attack, OR join an alliance and receive a district to build resources on.
If folks can just launch attacks on other people's district for cheap, and utilize practically the entire Dust playerbase as their army, it simply won't be profitable (time-wise) to play PC, at all.
The idea is good because it gets other players involved, but...
PC and districts are already burden enough anyhow. No one would really want to just be a target to get shot at it constantly. With nothing else to do in the game, that's all that would be happening. |
