I think an Open World concept being applied to Dust would solve most if not all of the PC issues. There would be no warning, people would just attack. Landing an MCC on the planet via Eve pilot flying it there would initiate the attack, players not on and not expecting it would be unable to participate but it would give Dust corps a reason to be part of new eden, not just having the same company make the product.
In addition to the Eve pilot bringing in the MCC, this would allow for a space defense of your districts to be possible. Bringing a need for PVPers to be a part of your corp, alliance and coalitions. This also allows for the hiring of pilots to take on the giant corps as a valid tactic, considering they can bring anything from subcaps to caps into these fights it is sure to make things more interesting Eve side anyways.
Now for the juicy Dust bit (I call it mud). No redline, no line at all and if you have the time, moving the battle (strategic withdrawal to the district beside yours) would be possible. Allowing battles to go on until clone reserves are depleted.
Clone Packs would also need adjustment. From the 150 clone (hope I get this right) to 300. As a caveat, this suggestion could be modified to allow for multiple clone pack purchases rather than an increase in size.
Deployment and grouping of troops needs to change as well to allow the formation of the team beforehand in Platoon deploy, whereby there is a platoon leader who can invite squads to his platoon. Max number of troops in battle should be unlimited, the only limiting factor being the number of clones available (sandboxes are fun).
District maintenance and upkeep is another factor not addressed atm which I think would need to be changed as well. Putting a drone damage to structures mechanic in place (PVE for Everyone) whereby troops deploy to the planet during off hours to kill drones and thereby prevent damage to their districts would add something different and flavorful to Dust. If there is an incursion in local this should also affect the districts, causing us to have an additional way to earn Concord LP to be converted to whatever faction we choose for the purchase of items.
