This can definitely work well along with getting rid of the Genolution Clone Pack refund which seems to be the general consensus among people who know PC mechanics.
One of the things I hated about the current reinforcement timer for districts is that the 24hour lock time has whenever it's attacked makes it far too easy for one player to simply log in, pay a clone pack, attack their own district with an alt corp, wait 24 hours, rinse and repeat.
With the mechanics suggested by Arnold Sphinx, this will make it practically near impossible to lock all districts without making it into a complete 24hour-a-day job where you have to constantly be online locking a district once every hour to an hour and a half. And that's just for one district. Imagine trying to lock all of Molden Heath with the suggested mechanic. And with the Genolution Clone Pack Refund removed, there is no incentive to constantly lock your district for the sake of ISK making which brings me to my next point.
Right now, districts just produce clones and the extra clones that can't be stored end up being sold to the Genolution Corp (NPC) for ISK and thus districts become liquid ISK machines. In the short term, we can use Arnold's placeholder idea until the long-term solution is implemented.
I agree that district should also act like POSes in terms of managing them. POSes in Eve require fuel to function at all. For the long-term solution, I would say make all districts require fuel of some form to operate so that there is a cost associated with using a district. One can own a district, but using it should require fuel.

The reason timers exist is because games where the defender never appears is boring, and without advance warning, nobody will ever show up.
Still though, the Genolution clone pack refund needs to be eliminated permanently along with getting rid of passive ISK generation. The extra clones produced by these districts should only be sold between corporations and not be sold automatically to the Genolution npc corp.

Removing the reinforcement window will only lead to people attacking when district owners are sleeping/at work/whatever. That will only lead to massive corps with good 24/7 coverage with no chance for small corps to compete.
CCP has it right, skill > zerging. You can always argue that the reinforcement window should be wider (like 4, 6 or 8 hours for example), but a small corp with only a single timezone coverage will always be able to defend their districts.
I believe the folks who posted just before you have already established that. The point of this thread if I understand it correctly is to remove the ATM like nature of the districts.

That is the goal. To have fun and unforgettable nights when playing PC. But the mechanics are at the core of the problem we have right now with PC.
Eve Online sovereignty mechanics are also designed to allow small corps to compete while still rewarding larger corps with more territory if they have the manpower and meta for it. That's exactly what DUST PC is suppose to achieve. But instead we have small corps holding massive amounts of territory with extremely little effort and making a huge profit without even fighting while the larger corps have dropped out of PC and just stick with either FW or proto stomping.
It's also sad that instead fighting over districts nowadays we have corps trading them for ISK like you see plex in Eve.
