The problem with PC is that there really isnt a lot of reason to desire holding a district without passive isk generation. If you remove that, it becomes the old corporation battle system with a really complex interface. There needs to be a reason for players to desire holding/owning a district and clearly passive isk generation is not a great motivator. But, that level of change requires a large iteration and will be a while until it is implemented. So...

Given that PC has been a colossal failure overall (which has to do with both the mechanics of the game mode and how horrible the lag is in PC matches) I feel at this point there probably isnt much reason to keep it around. I say remove passive isk generation, let PC fall apart and stay in shambles until they can revamp it with a 2.0 iteration. Its certainly a better alternative that allowing the broken game mode to inject so much isk into the economy while we all wait for a real fix.

You can still make money off of battles at least, so there is still a reason to play it occasionally.

I say remove biomass sale. Leave the biomass destruction at the number it is now and make clone packs free (or almost free). It destroys PC but leaves it from affecting dust until 2.0 comes out. yes people could actively farm districts but that requires effort at least.

Remove the passive ISK completely. Have districts act like POS's in EVE that generate different amounts/types of resources. These resources can be sold to industry people (in eve) that will build all the gear/modules/etc in DUST and sell it back.

Thus you have an open market that uses generated ISK from PUB matches to determine price of the goods, that will determine the price of the resources generated from the districts. Corporations will have to sell the generated resources at prices that will reflect what the general public can afford for those goods. If no one can afford proto gear any more then resource values will drop, and when people can afford good expensive proto gear then prices will rise. Economy 101.

As for that, people will fight over the districts but they won't go out of control over the passive ISK income (******* stupid imo). This is exactly the Moon-Goo exploit that happened a few years ago in EVE, trillions of ISK flooding the game... Absurd.

Also having districts "mine planets out" of resources causing shifts in which districts hold which resources will mean that corporations will continually fight in regular (or irregular) intervals for the most valuable districts. (Resource shifting).

As for attacking districts, they need to change the mechanic completely. It should be free to attack a district, but should require reinforcement windows to win-over a districts control. (which should require new modules like TCU's in EVE).

DUST needs to reflect EVE sovereignty warfare if it is going to make any good PC mechanic.

And for the love of all that is holy we need Corp Battle's back in game so we can practice against other corps, or duke it out with those that we absolutely loathe, like Escrow and DDB and, yes you, you quebec fools (I won't even capitalize your name).

Why don't you do what you want and don't bother the community you say you want OUR feedback but you come on the forums and tell us what your planing todo and won't stray from it. You just want the community to recognize what your doing.

You say you want to let everyone fight but do you think making a clone pack cost from 36,000,000isk to 60,000,000isk is a good idea???

FYI bud your stepping 24,000,000isk in the wrong direction.

NO small corp is willing to pay more than 10,000,000isk for a clone pack just to get there butt kicked in by ancient exiles or nyisn sain PERIOD.

Well I guess it will be coming out of your wallet then not mine:)you realize that corp contracts in beta were 5-10 million right? And everyone still wants that game mode returned right? Soooooo yeah PC is gonna still be broken after fanfest in 2014.

btw you just don't want smaller corps attacking your districts more often :) join me in a pub match and you will taste my laser beams

I can't disagree more.

PC would be more dead than it is now. If clone packs were cheap (10 mil) there would be fighting. You'd need to be in a god mode donut for 4 or 5 months to afford 120 mil clone packs.

I just can't wrap my head around wanting to increase the cost of entry for a game mode that is suffering from a lack of participation.

It would be like a restaurant that is struggling increasing the cost of their entrees.

And why the **** do you think they are afraid to attack huh?

If they knew their corp wallets wouldn't be nearly empty after a single attack like it is now (clone pack costs, vehicle and dropsuit reimbursements etc.) then smaller corps would probably be delighted to attack.

But you assholes are locking all the smaller corps out.

Bullshit.

Your argument makes 0 logical sense. What would the smaller corps have to be "afraid" of? Losing a battle? It's not the end of theworld to lose a battle. It is however the end of certain corps if they lose too many PC battles due to costs.

Costs that you members of the blue sphincter don't need to care about since your chickenshit passive isk farming insures that every team in every PC battle you partake in can run full proto gear and lose it, without taking a financial hit because passive isk farming alone makes up for those losses in about an hour.

It's like a billionaire joining a friday night poker game with a bunch of low income working men, and feel "gutsy" going all in on thefirst hand...
