Dear players,
another topic on PC, but now on self attacking to lock Districts.
There are multiple ways to use alts and clone packs to self lock. One way is to create a corp, fill it with alts, send them ISK from your overflowing wallets, and have them attack districts, and then do the minimum fighting to secure the desired lock. This was of course way worse with passive ISK. There are more ways to skin this cat and I want to discuss "exploit free" PC mechanics.
Because, holding land should be worthwhile, in some way. Some are not in favor of passive ISK, but you should be rewarded for holding land, that's the purpose of owning land, to become rich and powerful.
One simple way is to require some minimum corporation threshold to actually initiate an attack. The minimum is basically "these players should be true player characters, who want to raid (gain more than they lost) or win the district. There should be no other motivation, and no other behavior should be possible.
Let's discuss a few options:
A) The attacking Corp has a minimum of X players (players)
B) The attacking Corp has a minimum total/average SP per player (veterans)
C) The attacking Corp has completed X Daily Missions in the last 7 days (engagement)
D) The attacking Corp has at least 16 players that have not joined this corporation in the last 7 days. (corp hopping)
E) The attacking Corp has at least x average Loyalty Rank (LR measures investment, both lifetime engagement and AUR, a really hard metric to exploit)
F) A mix of a few of the above
I will add more, but now it's your turn.

Loyalty ranks is not so good, stops new players from getting involved and is more tied to AUR than paytime.
Well, new players shouldn't "really" be jumping into PC. This guarantees that you are using your proper character, that in most cases has spent a few AUR on SP boosters. Very few players would bother creating alts, dumping aur into them to self attack districts, just to get ISK.

* Corp A attacks Corp B's District
* Corp A and Corp B "no show" for the battle
* Rinse / Repeat
Both A and B are legitimate, non-alt Corps.
No show doesn't lock district.

It would not be "those that fight need to do Daily Missions", it's at least a number of Missions need to be completed for the Corporation to be eligible to launch PC attacks. not the same people. So ringers can obviously fight as they should.
This would mean that grooming a group of new players/training corps,in the main corp, just to earn Dailies, trust and training with an elite PC corp.
I think this is what the game needs, Vitantur had ideas exactly along these lines, so I am not alone
