I like the idea of small raiding parties, limited or little timer restrictions however are not really intended to take districts, merely raid and gather resources on a whim. "Can the big corp that holds X districts defend RIGHT NOW my little 6 man squad of raiders?"

No idea how it might work but the concept is novel and really appeals to me personally.

Edited the District Bonuses in post #6. Still room for other Facility options.

Looks like we are on the same page Kain.

If the attackers No-Show, the Defenders will blow up their MCC (twice if they no-showed in Phase 3) until they are pushed back to the beachhead. Then the defenders hack the attackerGÇÖs CRU, denying them access to the district, and successfully defend the District.

Part of me wonders if there could be a way for the Defenders to actually capture the AttackerGÇÖs MCC if they No-Show, but I have not thought up a mechanic for how that would work. I have also not considered weather it could be exploited somehow. So just an idle thought at this point.

From the start I have been operating from the assumption that the District activity would be locked from the moment it was attacked to the moment it is successfully defended. I should probably go back and state that explicitly somewhere in my proposal. It would be that much more incentive to have people try to mount a defense in Phase 1, so they don't lose 24 hours of production.

I like it, but for that last part we might want to consider what happens if Lizard Squad takes down the PSN again, or Tranquility gets hit with a DDOS attack, or the Battle-servers go down and no one can queue up.

That's really good though. It's a double whammy so the cost will exceed the economic gain by the districts being locked when totaled.

And I agree with you about GM intervention. If it happens it happens and we all cross that bridge when we come too it.

Do any of you know about the ability to move a redline in match? It could open up the potential for reverse 'Tug of War' game modes which could be used for MCC assault and whatnot.

But Breaking Stuff, there is still a possibility that one side would lose a battle if they can't leave their spawning area. So instead of having the redline as a barrier, CCP can just make it a boundary colored yellow instead of red for the battle and have the game notify the player that they're leaving the battlefield. It won't kill them if they stay in the redline too long.To protect a side's spawn area under the MCC, the MCC's guns and the turrets on the ground can shoot any enemy that breaches the perimeter.
