This is a little Added feature to the PC side of DUST, and the Insta Battle side. This is an Attempt to Have Corps from different TZs be able to Wage war in a Easier way, and so Solo Players grinding
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. |

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.
A Skyfire battery?
Sounds good.
But quite off topic. |

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.
This is just a way for two corps to fight outside of their time zone.
Can you explain how this makes the holding district impossible/extremely difficult?
The one corp is still making the contract, I see this is just making all the people and corps able to be a force to be reckoned in PC.
How does this make PC harder then it already is? |

Contracts for defending would be equally useful and potentially more lucrative since there will be a sense of urgency on the generators part.
One thing that might be an interesting idea is if you can offer individual operator or squad size contracts. For instance, you have 10 of your top hitters and you contract out for ringer squad of high end players to give you a little extra juice during the match.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. |
