My post wasn't trollish in the slightest... it was a witty (er... for the forum...) way to point out an issue.

OK, i get it. But wouldn't it become even more profitable after next week adjustments if the district ownership will shuttle between "the main corp" and "the alt corp"? Assuming members donating all biomass money back to corp wallets... Or do i talk bilge?

Pretty sure he was talking to Egypt Musk not you. :)

Honestly, because it a far more dramatic change and I wanted to be sure the community had time to respond and provide feedback on that change.

So why not just tie the delivery of ClonePacks to a planet for invasion in the hands of eve online players? Once the warbarge is deployed it's just invisible, but it creates some conflict in space and the new warp changes blockades could be very fun and effective.

We should be able to put up contracts as well. So you can put out an open call, someone deliver this clone pack between this window of attack. So they aren't expecting a neutral or a blue.

The longer the number of jumps the more danger your clones are in. And if a dust corp wants to fight on it's own it needs a district on the planet to generate clones and create a more RISK board game type mechanic. Or something I don't know.

Given the current fundamental mechanics of clone generation, clone packs, 24+hr attack timers, and selling clones for ISK I fail to see the possibility for an unexploitable mechanic that will achieve the goal of make legit attacks more profitable / likely than farming.

I understand that they might be upset but in the long run its going to be an irrelevance once the player market comes in and that ISK is redistributed by market forces. Also the money that will come into the game via Eve eventually will DWARF that already earned in Dust. So for that reason I'm not unduly concerned.

I can see definite pluses for this from the standpoint of the mercs that fight in PC, in so much as they will receive a greater proportion of ISK payout from the biomass directly from the payout mechanism of the game and not as payment from a corp wallet. Also less work to do for an accountant role user having to pay them from that wallet.

If a corp is worried about the financial hit they will get from the lower sale value of Clones to Genolution, they can simply raise the tax level. This however also brings in a certain level of risk as their best players may go another corp willing to tax them less. I'm in favour of a CEO, speaking as one, to have to take this into account in his/her decision as it brings with it consequence, which is what gaming in a single shard universe should be all about.

This Is Kinda BS for the corps that are taking districts and successfully defending ... Expect tickets evey day from my corp and all of our officers ( myself included) if you go through with this... It took us months to get where were at today and now your going to nerf are income. When eon was making hundreds of millions a day nothing was changed... WHERES MY CPM I WANT A MEATING ASAP!


You need to find a better way to deal with the corps locking districts for profit and not penalize those that are not locking their districts.... Your a tool SoxFour

If you going to do all this and keep clone packs the same ridiculous price no new corp is ever going to get into PC. NTM at the moment it would take a 50 member corp over a month to save up for enough clone pack to take a district without losing. (72 mil, 96 if it's a cargo hub) and they could spend that and lose that last battle. Clone packs need to change or you will lose all interest in PC. NTM they need to be 150 clones. 120 is useless against a good corp.

Remove isk reward completely from PC and implement a better way to reward players/corps. Technically I dont even think clone packs should cost any isk whatsoever. The isk is great to start...because you need isk to get involved in PC (36mil for clone pack) and to stay involved in PC you need to generate the revenue to run proto gear. Give isk only for battles and make it a couple mil for each player. But don't give passive isk generation to corps. Removing the ISK parameter from that equation will help to level the field for those ahead who were able to milk the isk from the previous iteration of PC.

Rewards you could give instead of isk for districts.
additional skill points for all members in that corp (either booster like or more passive)
Officer gear given after every day of downtime....or a higher percent chance in pub matches
Reduced % cost in market for every district held.

Be creative and give us rewards we can't find outside of PC. That will drive conflict.

Honestly, why not just change it to 60k and 160k tomorrow? With Corp taxes now in effect, Corps can just raise the tax if theyre running low on funds. Seems a lot better than nerfing individuals ISK payout and then buffing it higher than it was to start with a week later.

Your plans are to make these changes with less than twelve hours notice you sir have left no time for a proper conversation or discussion on the topic before implementation and to be more realistic knowing how you work you would implement this anyways. So yes I do think deep inside your a tool and yes I do plan to launch a wave of tickets. I will stand down until my corps PR rep gets on but this is not over soxs
