This is a really good idea! It would be kinda fun if corps would have to pay a rental fee if they want to do this (unless later on in the future when corps can own planets, they'll use only the planet at their disposal). Also, there should be sort of "goodies" or "toys" available, so a custom corp match would have same tank skirmishes, cool load outs, and training vehicles. This could make corps not only a fighting force, but also a "gladiator fighting ground" or "racing tournaments" for Eve and Dust players to place bets on (a fun little thing for Dust and Eve players to do when they're bored), an academy for new Dusters to learn how to fly that ghastly drop ship or that LAV, or when corporations can create items, for them to introduce them and display them through shooting galleries and test fights, where that slightly seasoned but still fresh Duster can taste that savory proto suit, and a chance for that seasoned player to say "Do commando suits still suck?".

This could bring revenue for corporations, for example:

"Welcome to Dropship Academy. Ever wanted to help your fellow mercs' with air superiority but you just don't know how to let those wings soar? Attend a class of Dropship Acadamy and we'll show you how! Dropships provided! Fees range from 100,000 isk for a beginner lesson, to 200,000 for more advanced!"

Or....

"You know what it's like to be a Dust soldier, you've died a thousand times, but killed a thousand more mercenaries too. You also know that you're not the only one. So what's the difference between you and the other soldiers? Doesn't hurt to see that difference. FROM THE ONE'S THAT BROUGHT YOU "2014'S HARDCORE LAV RACE" AND "THE MINJA TOURNAMENTS", COMES "2014'S ALL OUT FIGHT NIGHT". TEST. YOU'RE. MIGHT. Entry fees 40,000 isk each, brought to you by Colosseum Entertainment".

Whadya think?

nice, you might wanna join the thunderdome. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=107598&find=unread

Oh I have seen some gameplay! :) I can only play on the weekends, but when I can, I'm pretty devoted. I usually play seriously, but when I get some extra fun time, I'll play around there. Thunderdome is really what inspired me to do the gladiator combat. There should be this since it will make a better connection between Eve and Dust. Dust players will now not only be merceneries but "esports" players, or a sort of tag line "Dust Games". Where Dust soldiers can compete in gladiator games, capture the flag, free for all, etc, games. Eve and Dust players can watch and place bets, support and advertise players and get a portion of their check, and advertise for them.

This will still make Eve players think that Dust is just "a petty source of entertainment", but none the less strengthen the connection, and improve the "Dust" experience to Dusters. Later on Dust players could be more useful for setting up mines, securing areas, cleaning up spaces, and maybe even fly with Eve players and be body guard for them! What do you guys think?

Do not allow any other players that aren't in your corporation to jump in as opponents, 0 isk and SP rewards, friendly fire on and keep suit loss per death. The results: - PC strategy Practice - Messing around with new fits and weapons - Playground with testing capabilities - Nove Knifing your corp mates in an all out militia minja battle - Finding great sniper and forge gun spots for area denial - Tank Duels! the possibilities are endless and I hope that I'm not naive in thinking this wouldn't be too hard to execute. This will allow defending corporations an advantage by knowing their home field, why would we be defending a facility that we know nothing about when we own it? I think this will be more than enough downtime fun for dust players before the addition of PVE, without the risk of having an exploitable feature. Heck, you can even regard it as a test server. I've always wanted this feature in the game for as long as districts have been rumored to be included in Dust what are your thoughts?

But every respawn due to clone death should use up district clones. Or corp members could buy smal personal clone packs from Genolution to Sky SpawnGäó. Owner could also rent districts to other corps to stage 15 minutes matches. Clones borowed from district owner or bought from Genolution. we could develop this idea more after implementation, but the first step I think is for them to just let us join a game that is our district's map with FF turned on and only 16 on one side, heck maybe even have 32 players in there and have the leaderboards be a list of all 32 members under a single defender tab with our corp name and logo on it, wouldnt that be a sight to behold, your corporation name written down 32 times on a large holo-projector in the warbarge. 1.4 is a magnificent step forward for Dust in my opinion, it can finally be a squad based tactical shooter; something that i've longed for and could only dream of since playing the open beta. lets take this step forward and run with it, make dust as amazing as EVE is (although, I dont play EVE.. still think its ******* awesome though lol) o7

I definitely agree, this was originally what I thought they implied when CCP first announced districts. This small feature can be useful for a whole plethora of things, it'll be an unreasonable amount of fun for district holding corporations and will also be incentive for other corps to claim districts as well.

My only thing is.. what about the other 80% of the player base that do not hold any districts in PC? smaller corps usually cannot afford the cost of getting into PC. and many new players are in NPC corps. If CCP was to implement this, while also having a number of planets that are in systems that have Concord stations ( such as yulai ) as free (low cost) neutral training zones so that anyone in any corp/alliance can also benefit from the in game training and practice then yes I can say +1 If it is kept as a you must have a district in the very broken PC aspect of the game, then no. This kind of idea of a training ground has been suggested by a lot of people. But for it to be viable and not result in a mountain of forum threads calling for it to be removed from the game it has to be inclusive for the entire player base, and not just for the few. Definitely agreed but I wrote this at the time when more of a majority of players and corps were active in PC, not the doughnut we have now. I would suggest a fix for PC first before implementing this idea but I do want to keep it exclusive to district owners to give people incentive to get into PC. It would be a tool available to corps who really wanted to get into PC and improve their team play and strategies The Sinwarden
