I think that option C) is probably the best one to ensure activity equals the ability to engage in the Planetary Conquest system. I would transition this system over to Corporate missions once implemented and not have AUR based missions in the Corporate Daily mission system so that it can be as equitable as possible.
A), B) can be easily manipulated. Heck I have many 20+ million SP Alts just from passive SP gain. D) I don't like because players should be able to freely associate as distasteful as corp hopping may be to people. E) I can understand but I think it relies too much on how much you've paid into the system. Also, all of my characters including my alts share my Loyalty rank so I would be able to have characters easily available for alt corps if my Loyalty Rank is high.

I like the idea of the minimum threshold being applied to defenders as well. If a corp drops off the face of the earth then their districts go up for grabs. If this threshold could be scaled with the number districts you have even better.
I think using daily missions makes the most sense because you have a maximum that each player could do in a week. This would make it where a small group of extremely active players couldn't short circuit the system to get around a design goal of X active players needed per district held.

* 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.
I think Vitantur means having a district in the "Under Attack" state and thus unattackable by everyone else when he says "locked".
I really see (C) as being the best option, but would it be possible to introduce something like 1 free reroll for Daily Missions? I think several folks are stuck on the fact that some dailies require you to spend AUR.

The AUR part of daily missions is what is hanging people up. Requiring a certain amount of Daily Missions per week seems to make perfect sense if you can adjust it by a factor that reflects how much you guys have coded AUR missions to pop up in the queue.

Requiring a certain amount of Daily Missions per week seems to make perfect sense if you can adjust it by a factor that reflects how much you guys have coded AUR missions to pop up in the queue. Somewhat sidebar, but a function/bonus of a player's Warbarge could produce a handful of Mission Re-Rolls every week to allow players to bypass some of the AUR-required missions if they wanted. However it would be nice if Activity could be measured in a more general sense for all game modes, and not just missions which typically are completed in public match. Unfortunately you also have to protect the system from excessive player abuse, in which case the mission system is nice because you can't really abuse it too easily with traditional methods.
I don't know. I've found that it's pretty straight forward to accomplish missions in Pubs or FW. If we had a way to play PC more instantaneously I could see that expanding to Planetary Conquest as well. I like the idea of re-roll tokens, but I think if we just got 1 free reroll a day it would satisfy most people. I have to agree that daily missions seem like one of the least gameable ways to measure activity.

Pokey Dravon wrote:Well it is straightforward to accomplish them, my point is that do we want corps that are PC Only and don't play the game otherwise? I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, but it's also harder for them to complete missions if they only play PC. So I can understand backlash there.
Now as Rattati said it would be more of a corporate pool of Mission Points, so personal completion of missions doesn't really matter so long as a corporation has people that actually do play pubs/complete missions. I kinda wonder if this would be more of a fringe problem.... I mean how many corps are 100% PC and never play pubs?
I would venture to say basically none. I think the idea that you may recruit people for the sake of playing pubs is fine. Having a purpose in the corp for PC players and pubstars isn't the worst thing in the world. The idea of everyone contributing to the corp as a whole is something that I find pretty appealing really.
