Passive ISK needed replaced not removed, there should have been a way to make ISK like PvE, or an alternative product that districts produced, passive ISK was bad and this active ISK is worse.

Killing passive ISK was the best change ever made to the game. The only problem was it wasn't done a year earlier.

That's where a lot of people are wrong. If you hold a district, you can manage to gain SOME money from it (and I don't talk about farm).
The thing is, if you hold a district, you got clones, with your clones, and you can transfer them to attack others districts at a lesser cost and with more clones than with the pack (which is very expensive and not really efficient). Of course, there is the problem that you can loose your district if you take too much clones, but that's part of the game.

If you win, all your players get ISK. Depending on the the fight, your players can gain more money than they have spent and under those circumstances, are able to give the difference to the corporation.



As for passive ISK, of course, it would be nice to have them back. But there is a certain corporation with 63 district that really doesn't deserve them. So, if passive ISK is to return, it would be interesting to have system that lower the number of ISK you gain per district, in function of the number of districts (to make sure some corps won't be allowed to win a billion per day).

As an exemple, let's say that there is 3 corporations :
Corporation_A (adept) with 5 districts
Corporation _B (beginners) with 1 district
Corporation_C (clowns) with 30 districts

And keep in mind that each time a corporation hold 3 district, it have a penality of 10% ; penality which upgrade with your numbers of districts, so a corporation with 6 districts will have a 20% penality. The maximum penality reachable in this theory is 90% (27 districts and beyond)


- Corporation_B would receive the default passive ISK of let's say 5 million per day with no penality.

- Corporation_A with it's 5 district will have a 10% percent of penality, so it will receive 22,5 million instead of 25 million

- Corporation_C with 30 districts will have a penality of 90%, so this corporation will loose 135 million of it's 150 million. It make only a bonus of 15 million per day. Which would give Nyain San in it's current state to have an incomeof 30.166.666 ISK a day.

In that way, it SHOULD (but as nothing ever go as planned on this game I can't be sure) allow more corporations to join PC as beyond a certain number of districts you will gain less money than if you had fewer districts. So the best thing would be to give them away or most likely to sell them.

Plus, it would give a real sense to the alliances and diplomacy and give a chance to other corporations to enter PC. But that is another story.

Sure, but that simply wasn't going to happen. When you have a broken faucet dumping water all over the floor, even if you don't have a replacement faucet handy, you plug the leak.

What needs to be done is a way to add ISK to fighting without raising the cost of clone packs. Making it to where you get the value of your salvage in ISK seems like a good way to do that. Again, because PC is a flawed system because of clones being how you wage war and make money no solution is perfect.

Passive ISK however that gives the same output whether you have 10 players active or 100 players active is crazy.

I fail to see how your comparison remotely represents passive ISK. Passive ISK removal was one of the worst changes it made it much harder for smaller corps to get into PC by jacking up clone prices. Their is no incentive to fight for those who are losing because it just becomes an ISK sink with nothing to back you up prior to this you could fall back on your isk reserves. We beat someone in a PC a few days ago and they no showed the next two defenses to prevent ISK loss so what happened to the fighting aspect?
Their is no incentive to fight all but the few ever fight anymore and few only fight each other it gets dry.
Since Passive corps like Valor Coalition and What The French have vanished they used to attack you and attack you and attack you until they won becoming the rising stars of PC While FF might have destroyed both those corps before they really became something who are the new rising stars of PC because I don't see anybody.

It's called F*cking Planetary Conquest and there is no reward for Conquering Planets. If you even lost a district people would care but now people losing whole planets and not caring because they hold no value.

I'd be in favor of a Passive ISK return, but only if it was reduced.

It's more expensive for smaller corps to get into PC because of the increased size of clone packs, passive ISK doesn't affect people who aren't already in PC. Besides 120 clones per pack wasn't much more cost effective because it was even harder to get into PC when nearly always at a clone disadvantage. You also keep saying that no one wants to keep their districts, then wouldn't that make it easier for smaller corps to buy districts at lower prices, or just take one from a corp that cares less about holding them? Your evidence contradicts the point your trying to make.

Win battles to make ISK, what cruel fate that they expect income in a shooter game to be based more on shooting people than getting people to not fight you.
