Hmm it would cause chaos. I like chaos.
Only issue is that existing is that the clones themselves are worth more than 5 million, meaning a corp with a district could attack itself, have the clone pack suicide, collect all the biomass, and make more money than it cost to buy the clone pack.

At which point PC wouldn't be profitable at all, and no one would do it because it would be even more of an ISK sink with zero incentives to participate.

Again, easily abused. Send in a couple guys and just set up a firing squad and kill the attacking clone pack for massive profit. You're not thinking this through.

It is my understanding that total money made from the battle is evenly divided between all members participating in the battle, thus "a couple guys" would make the full payout anyways with a larger share per person, thus the difference would negligible. If I'm incorrect I apologize, but this is how I understand the mechanic from what I've read and experienced.

Not to mention the ISK investment would be so minimal that very little time investment would be needed to break even, spending more time would pull profit. It doesn't solve the district locking issue at all, and thus would be ineffective. Since the clones being sent in the back would cost LESS than the effective value of launching an attack from another district, it would compound the issue of locking even more.

So I'm not being presumptuous if what you're saying is false, as it shows that you either didn't think of the issue or don't understand the mechanic. However I wont beat around the bush with passive aggressiveness, but no hard feelings, we're all here to make the game better so I apologize if you were offended.

EDIT: Everything aside, I don't want to be hostile with you Zatara despite some disputes we've had in the past.

Ah well, you didn't specify all of the additional conditions so what I said was based off of existing parameters and what you explicitly said.

If we go off the assumption that this is a short term thing, It's not so much the profit, it's that it's making it easier to lock districts, regardless of profit/minimal loss. How would you prevent the continued locking of districts during this event?

Zatara? isn't that the guy that backstabbed multiple corps and messed up the protection brackets in eon ?

No they'll just lock them for the week or however long the event lasts. They lock them now to avoid fighting, why would they stop for the event?
