This would also be in light of increasing clone pack sizes back to their original 150 at the current 300k per clone cost. Fighting getting you double what you receive now but no passive ISK to prop up payroll, vehicle reimbursement, or the hiring of ringers. The only issue is you only collect the payment when you win your fights and if you can't win your fights you end up with nothing.
Hmm, that is an interesting thing to think about. My very first thought, "In that case, why would I want to hold land?". I would want to attack quite often.
But I can instantly see perks to actually holding land for those that want to attack and make money. Holding districts is beneficial because of the clone generation. Basically free clones. But that would also mean that at some point, production stops. Meaning the district can be considered null and useless at that point.
But then again, attacking is the only way to make money. So you move those clones out to another district (some) and make some money. Still the district is important because again, free clones. I think this would place a heavy emphasis on district ownership as a source of revenue still.
But, at the same time it limits the amount of districts that a corp would actually want to hold. Sure if you can consistently hold districts, that means more money. But considering the fact that money generation comes from actual fighting, you want many opponents, meaning you don't want to hold the whole of MH, or even a large portion.
Then again, a large corporation, I mean alliance, could gather up most of the districts like we are currently doing, and just make bank from those sending clone packs at us, still abusing the system for the good of just a few people. But actually allowing people to hold more land, means more battles (through free clone generation). Meaning more potential earnings, as it can be expensive running clone packs.
An interesting idea.
