Any talk of a reinforce timer is no different than 0.0 mechanics in Eve trying to capture Sovereignty. I do not see CCP changing FW or low sec to be more like 0.0 in that aspect. FW and low sec are supposed to be stepping stones to your alarm clock matches you crave. I am sure you will have reinforce timers in 0.0 PC matches when they come out.

I'm sorry, but battle after battle on the same district where each battle instantly decides who owns the district makes no sense and will never make sense. If you want EVE players to love us, keep us in the general location, but not the same district.

Look, if Amarr captures a district, not only should they hold it safe for at least an hour based on principle, but owning the district also gives EVE players a plexing bonus and you have to at least give them the opportunity to take advantage of that before it gets flipped back.

Flipping a district in a span of 15 minutes is bad enough, flipping the district in 15 minutes and then losing it in another 15 minutes is downright stupid. And in regards to your first concern, who cares if EVE side a system is 100% secured? Still let us fight there if we have to (but again, there are a ridiculous number of districts we could fight on). Ultimately they are two separate games and they don't have to coincide with everything. EVE have space FW, Dust has ground FW. They are two separate FWs with different ownership maps. They can help each other, but they aren't dependent on each other.

I'll add that it does make sense for it to become unavailable to attack at some point, just not after one battle. When the eve guys are fighting it out for an entire night I want to be there too. I like the idea of a multi-stage fight with a planetary command center eventually becoming vulnerable. Win that final fight, and the planet is secured for some time frame.

I'll try to explain what Aero is saying this way:

Amarr wins a district (district A). Theoretically we have beat back the enemy and they need time to regroup. The next battle should be in a nearby district owned by the MInmatar (district B) because they have been pushed back. If they win the next battle, we get pushed back and the third battle occurs in district A once again. If not, they should logically get pushed back again and the third battle should be in yet another district, C. Et cetera. This is how it should work.

Instead, we win district A. Next battle, distrcict A. Win again. Third battle, yes, district A yet again. Theoretically you will NEVER gain any ground even if you win 20 battles in a row and slaughter entire divisions of enemy troops because you are never allowed to move on to another district. It's totally broken.

Instead, lets set it so that once a district is conquered, it stays safe for one hour (3 battles). District A is won. It is now safe, so the next battle can't be fought there. So, the fighting moves on to B, and C, and so on. If you don't set SOME lockout period, even if it's only for one or two battles, the minority side can't ever get anywhere.

And then you could well end up with mercs/squads/teams sitting and waiting on district timers to unlock because a faction has been pushed back to a couple of systems with maybe five or six planets to battle over.

Sure, the easy answer is "Then they can play pub matches while they wait.", but maybe they're in it for the faction warfare with little to no interest in public matches.

All in all, unnecessarily forcing people out of the area of they game they want to play is always a bad idea.

Not at all. I do not believe you are aware of just how many districts are available in FW. We're not even remotely close to a situation where players would have to play pub matches while they wait.

What's a bad idea is allowing the enemy to continually attack the same district match after match after match until they win. Have you noticed that FW star map has always been 100% either side? That's why.
