I've been semi vocal on the fact PC is completely broken. In a video game, you should never allow one group or alliance to dominate. It's just bad for a video game. Players lose interest, and then the game suffers.

Corp contracts were fun, and I wish they came back.

If you want to help PC quickly, I think you need to come up with smaller ideas that are built on competition and fun. For instance, one of the large corps can set aside a planet. Then everyone interested in trying to conquer that planet signs up with a small entry fee. But in order to create competition and fun, you split the corps up into four tiers. You have A, B, C, and D corps. Every team has to be made up of players from each tier.

So, in four squads of four, one squad is all A corp players; one B, C, and D. Se\7eN, most likely a D tier corp, could be on a team with a four-man squad of AE, for instance.

Winning team takes the pot. Best thing is that you can rinse and repeat this process by mixing up the corps again.

Just one idea, but something fun that will generate interest. I think something everyone needs to realize is that the players control PC. Some will say that's a bad thing, but it can be turned into a huge positive.

we don't have to be so creative.....a very simple solution would suffice. Eliminate the threat of skilled corps attacking districts and just mercing out. No corp will ever become what EoN or what RA is because the better corps will all be merc corps. Back in the early pc days, there were so many corps here...this wasn't a problem.

All you're doing is perpetuating the main issues in this game. Even if the big corps only merc, they will be the only ones playing this game. For the majority, that is all that happens now. AE will be hired to play Fatal Absolution again, and again, and again. You have to think of a better way to get everyone involved and competing. Plus, we need a way more people learn how to compete so they can go off and actually play PC.

We always had ours picked up. Probably because it was easy money for someone. Tech, you gotta be crappin' me. Love it!
