Probably a lot more than you believe, especially if it's spread out over an entire district.
Also, what's stopping a corporation from fighting on multiple districts at once right now?

Seriously. Battlefront? That is totally wrong for this argument. ;P

A district being this, I agree that you just can't do that and expect it to be fun. Also, Planets can never, EVER be 'one ring to rule them all'. Just not happening. Unless that planet only has one district, see Nulsec expeditions. -likely nulsec thing.
If someone wants to own a planet in it's entirety, you SHOULD be preparing for a bloody meatgrinder, even against NPCs. I would like to remind you of the rock we're sitting on, and both the World Wars it's sat through. The Earth, is bloody big. The wars, were damn painful.
-To make Planetary Conquest not a huge waste of time, Districts exist. More population, more infrastructure, more districts.
Basically, winning a planet in 10-20 minutes against similarly equipped opponents, is a stupid idea.
Stupid.
-Again, unless the planet has a low enough population to only have one 'District'. |

That's like saying not all of the systems in EVE have to have ganking. It's heresy!
Try ganking in a Starter System....

Nothing is stopping that, but they are all still individual battles. There is nothing showing you, while you fight in district 6, what is going on in all the other districts.
As for spreading fights over an "entire district", what does that mean? Multiple simultaneous battles in a single district? I'd be OK with that, but Dust doesn't currently support that so it would be a bigger change than simply linking multiple district-level battles into a single planetary-level fight.

That too, has ganking. You just have to do it on an alt.
