1: Districts are large as hell
2: You don't just raid a country and take it over in a day unless the country is ****.
3: Other people could own other parts of the planet.

I wish each planet in Legion as a Planetside 2 battle kind of thing. There you also have ~districts~ but its all seamless and you see the map dominance changing by the minute.
That would be ridiculous, as things actually matter here.

It makes it more analogous to Eve as well.
In Eve, when you seize Sov, you take the entire Solar System and the Anoms, Asteroid Belts, Moons and Planets follow.
In Legion, you could seize a Planet and the Districts there would simply follow.
Do I have to explain myself again?

Alaika Arbosa wrote:Godin, think of it like this.
Firstly, in order to seize the planet, you'd need to attack multiple time. No one could seize the planet in a single day (unless they zergblobbed the planet from space and land with a ridiculous amount of firepower).
Secondly, this could serve as PC with a "PC light" which would be seizing individual Districts. Make certain Districts on each planet serve as lynchpins for planetary control. If you control them , you get some kind of benefit above and beyond just District control.
IDK, I really like the idea of having seperate mechanics governing assaults/control on a planetary scale.
It is, after all, called Planetary Conquest.
step 1: cap a district
step 2: cap the rest
step 3: you got the planet, throw a party
The manpower required to fight on 16-24 districts at once would be insane. The server would die before it could get that big anyways. And that is just over one single planet; how about the rest of the planets in the game?

This is about allowing larger battles than you can fit on one battleserver. Planets wouldn't all have 16-24 districts; there's nothing stopping CCP having planets with a single district. And there's no reason why all the districts on a planet should be on a single server.
Dude, districts are already made into planets, and that's how many districts I there is (haven't looked in a long time). To change that would mean a lot of things would need changing, especially for PI in EVE.

Wait, question: How big do you think the districts are?

Ulysses Knapse wrote:Would you mind explaining why having a single battle for control over the entire planet is a good idea? What's so bad with the idea of taking each district individually? If you say it's for large-scale battles, I'm going to have to facepalm. Districts are massive. This is a district. Each of those blue-tinted square areas are entire maps. And this is going to be one of the smaller districts! Districts could easily support massive battles all on their own.
Each map is actually pretty small (the latest maps are around 25km2, while these are only 4km2). However, there's like 100 or so of those, so it gets close to .1Mm. That is ******* huge for just one map.
So, to the OP, did you realize how ******* huge the Districts are?
