You also have some corps that claim to help increase PC activity by selling their districts to weaker corps. But what good is that when those weaker corps are attacked by more stronger, vet corps looking to enter or expand in MH? Some say, PFC is helping by allowing some of the weaker or newer corps a place to train. Well, I don't need to reiterate my opinion on that. But simply, what's the point if they can't even move a toe outside of PFC?
So, this is an idea that I recently thought of...you guys can discuss what you think. I propose that all of the vet or stronger corps (or even corps that feel that they are in that category) hold themselves to only a few districts or a planet.....give all of the new, indie, or lower tiered corps all of the other districts and just merc out!?!?
What does this accomplish? Well, a lot of corps are saying that they don't pc or care about pc because of lag or whatever. I, personally believe they're saying that because they feel that they can't compete. If you can compete in pc, then I think that you would if you had the resources. Some corps are only out because of lack of activity and not able to field players or burnout. But these are corps that can compete in pc and they would merc out anyway.
This helps everyone and is a win-win situation on every side, imo. For low-tiered corps, you will now be able to fight other low-tiered corps outside of PFC and expand. This will also allow for PFC corps to utilize what they've been training for all this time :). If you're short a few guys, then you hire a merc team, squad, or players. If you have the ISK and don't want to actually fight a battle, or maybe you're expanding into a different timezone, then you hire from any of the known merc corps.
For the vet corps....we will have our own set of districts of planet so we will still earn passive ISK. But now, our pc activity will be up without the demand to being online 24/7 defending districts. Corps like AE that has all of those districts but not a lot of pc matches will now have much more activity. At the same time, there is nothing stopping you from launching against another vet corp's district or planet.
There are 254 districts on MH....we can get all of those corps out of pubs, FW, PFC....there would be a lot of conflict as corps are trying to expand into MH. If there are wars with indie alliances, corps, etc..merc corps would definitely get even more action.
So, what are your thoughts? Of course all of the vet corps holding land in MH will have to agree to make this a reality. But I think that this is the only way to increase activity in MH. Only if activity in MH is increased, will CCP open up more of New Eden.
