Pave the way for Eve ships transporting clones rather than some unknown entity taking 24-48 hours to teleport them there. Overall overwhelming with numbers will become more relevant and MORE people will be able to become involved in PC as result. I like your ideas. We have had some similar thoughts our self. I still believe that there should be no ISK generation or at the most extremely limited. I also think clone packs should cost way less. Let's encourage actual fighting. Any ideas that limit the reasonable amount of land a corp can hold with 40 or so active players is a good one. And it wouldn't matter how much land they owned because a corp like AE could log on and take a bunch of districts in one sitting. They just wouldn't be able to defend 60 in a system like that. I don't think you should be able to buy clone packs if you have a district. ML Director Eve Toon - Raylan Scott

Wouldn't stop them from being able to send clone pack attacks. They could just make an alt corp and ferry in 15, then pass off the district to the main corp once its been taken. Rinse and repeat. There is no doubt, but I don't think the district locking and such would be as necessary as it is now. Corps like mine, Dark Legion, STB, Capital Acquisition, KEQ, and many other 2nd tier corps all have a similar plight. That comment might ** people off but if you have a recruiting thread you are more than likely a 2nd tier corp. The elite corps don't have recruiting threads, they snipe guys from our corps. But back to the story. You train and recruit and bust your ass to get ready for PC. You get some land, you win some battles against corps in your tier. Then one of the corps you've beaten brings in ringers to protect their assets. Then you are on the radar. Elite corps come in and stomp your ass and take your districts. Then your PC players get discouraged, start pointing fingers, etc. Some corps disband, some guys just stick to pubs but stick with the corp, and lots of talented players just go to the elite corps doing the stomping. Let's get one thing straight. You will NEVER see a competitive, vibrant PC environment if this cycle continues. If this small core of players at the top of the leaderboard are able to dominant a majority of the land with such a small amount of players it will NOT blossom for the lack of a better word. The mechanics have to change. That's where the battles spinning up within an hour or so comes in. If you lose land overnight it matters little. You can just take some back the next day. It's still competitive, the top dogs will still be good and they can still get rich. But you are all fooling yourselves here if you think it will ever become anything more than it is right now unless there is a way for the 2nd tier corps to operate without getting their faces stomped in and all assets removed within days. Should the answer be to jump on the bandwagon? Join the new Eon and get carried to relevance? Call me crazy but I think it's more chicken ** to jump on the bandwagon than to lock districts. This is a small community, there are a TON of players out there with 20 million or more SP and they are stuck grinding pubs and FW because the mechanics of PC make it TOO harsh for them to participate. I mean let's be honest here. I can take 16 of my top guys and roll a majority of the corps that have districts in PC right now. But when facing AE, FA, or one of the NF ringer teams it's over within minutes. People don't even want to spawn in. The way it works with the timers it's just to easy to coordinate to have a 16 man all star team there. Making the battles spin up within an hour opens the door to more of the Dust playerbase and that is a GOOD THING. OscarMike made a typical dickhead comment to one of my similar posts about any scrub getting into PC or whatever. But wouldn't that be better to have more people involved in PC?

Yet I bet you wouldn't put a timer for 3-4 AM where you live so why should anyone else? I said 8-12 hours in my proposal. Being upgradable with ISK to give you more flexibility. But for at least 12 hours a day you are prone to attack on that district. I can't see any reason why this would be bad. Make the battles about the payouts and not the land. That is until the Eve stuff can be worked out properly. ML Director Eve Toon - Raylan Scott
