This would likely also require the removal of automatic clone sales to ensure that profits from owing districts would have to come from a player market for selling clones and from winning PC matches.
What would the purpose of PC be then? No one would bother buying clones if you could only make money from your district by selling clones to other people who, again, would never buy any because it makes no sense to.

If you read the entire post thoroughly you see have noticed these points but I will respond to you objections in order. 1) Whats the purpose of PC now? hording ISK?
Uh, yes? Are you just now realizing this?

That's fine, I'm not disagreeing with this point.
Quote:3) Corps who don't own Districts would buy clones because they would be able to buy 400 clones to launch an attack as opposed to 120 which more often then not leads to being cloned except for elite corps. Also lets say you want to attack a district but your districts are so far away that you will lose a lot of clones due to clone attrition you could buy clones from a corp that has a nearby district to minimize clone attrition.
Corps without a district would never buy a district if the only purpose was to produce clones to sell to other people. I think you're assuming there would be some infinite demand for clones, which there wouldn't be if you couldn't sell them to an NPC for ISK. 250 districts--how many clones do you think people are going to be buying a day? You'd either devalue clones so much as to make them dirt cheap (which again, defeats the purpose of having a district in the first place) or you only have a very select few people selling clones, which defeats the purpose of having a district for 90% of the people who own them.
If the primary purpose of PC is to make ISK, which it is, and you take that away, why would anyone buy clones to take districts? There needs to be more to the original plan.
