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.

If the battle begins and no enemy shows up one minute after the hack points are controlled the enemy MCC is captured intact and claimed.

If neither shows up CONCORD destroys both MCCs and ejects both corps from the district.

It would do wonders for the longevity of the game, the fun factor at end level, and even includes an option for an average merc to jump in and help in an emergency. Very cool. You outdid yourself this time. Edit: How is this NOT stickied?

If the community likes it, it stays near the top without glue. He did Blue Tag it though. Evidence suggest otherwise. <.< Regardless, this is really quite excellent. Really though, coding and manpower required, it may not be feasible sadly.

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.

But Fox was asking about raiding MCCs. So I was thinking, scrolling maps. Using the redline to indicate movement and territory gained/lost when assaulting a ship. Meh, don't worry about it. Just a passing thought.
