How about you cant sell to NPC corps

i dont like the whole mentallity of get gud. its counterproductive. I don't like the idea of a tiered system only because of what people do in the newbie area. They remake merc's, go stomping in the newbie zone and destroy's any chance they have of learning. A tiered system is no better. Just old mercs bringing alts to stomp.

Though reading the posts id like to have it that you cannot attack a high sec district from a lowsec district.

How about you cant sell to NPC corps also

Other than that +1

Then what would be the incentive to play PC as opposed to q-syncing FW matches?

interesting idea and something that I could definitely support...just not in PC.

The purpose of PC in my opinion is to further the link between DUST and EVE, it is suppose to add meaning to the battles..."real consequences" and deepen the immersion into New Eden.

However, I like your premise and think that it could be implemented if and when we get Battle Arenas. Battle Arenas will be the place for competitive corp matches, corp rankings, player ranking based on matches and not stats. Battle Arenas will add a lot to this game and your system of tiers for corps could be included...again, just not in PC.

Simple fix to PC-> fight instead of blueing up

I have been fighting, you

I have been fighting, you

Other corps want to play PC but can't match up against most of DNS peoples.

DNS would say, "but its good practice for these lowbie corps" which in reality, 5 capping them all day AND feeling good about it doesn't help anyone.


Bigolenuts made a post in the War room which actually made a lot of sense.

A 3 tier system where the avg SP of corps are taken and place in SP brackets. It makes no sense for a top tier corp to smash out lowbie corps that are barely fielding half proto. However in turn, lower tiers can attack higher tiers but not vice versa.
If anything have a cap on districts attainable per bracket. (3, 10, infinite)

copper - 0 - 10 mil sp (high)
Silver - 10-25 mil sp (low)
Gold - 25+mil sp (null)

This gives noobs that little bit of extra content this game has to offer to perhaps help the NPE.
Currently you have to almost play dust for 4-5 months before welcomed into PC. Sounds terrible for any new upcoming Dust studs.

Unfortunately for any of this **** to happen we need to develop the NPE and get our Dust population up before us vets crash this game into the ground.

So really what DNS should be doing is helping newbies that actually show great interest in the game and help develop dust's future.
OH has been working on its Academy to help train and develop <10mil sp players.


One day DNS will do something helpful for the community hopefully.

Please none of the "Welcome to New Eden, Git gud" sh!t, having 4k players logged at a time is **** poor. Top end corps have so much power at their disposal to do something good. I almost feel we have to expect PvE alternative is not gonna be here this next year, hopefully fan fest proves us wrong.

Thats true.
Still, the most simple fix to PC would probably NOT to exploit it :D

The problems I see with PC is is firstly that the playground is just too damn small. There are 1,107 mercs in DNS and only 245 districts in Molden Heath and DNS owns 241 of them which means that they have around 4 mercs per district which would be a problem for them if the majority of their timers where at the same time on the same days but they're not. The most districts they have on the same timer on the same day is 69 which leaves them at 16 clones for each of those districts. Of course not everyone can or will be on for the matches and others are alts but it's not likely all those districts would be attacked simultaneously and if they are, that's what ringers are for.

Now just imagine how hard it would be to defend those 241 districts if they all were on the same timer; it's one thing to find a handful of ringers for a handful of matches but it would be miraculous to find 2,892 ringers for 241 matches.

The 2nd and main problem is we've got top ranked players in corps that are allied with each other. I'm not going to call them cowards but if they're looking for a challenge then they shouldn't be in an alliance together. It doesn't matter how much land there is if the majority of every one in PC is sitting around the same bonfire.
