So basically, this is how I would see this working. Let me know if I'm on track or not.
I am going to guess it would likely be an extended ambush match. However, if we want to make it a Dom or Skirm, I guess it would work that for every MCC your team destroys, you get a bonus of WP or something to that effect and after every MCC explosion, All null cannons are reset.
There are also no squads due to the way it will work overall with people leaving coming. We don't want one squad of Nyain San to stay in and stomp people the whole day. Or, auto-filling squads but no Warbarges.
1. At the beginning of the day, the first 32 (using 16 v 16 just as an example, totally spitballing here) people who sign up are randomly placed into this match.
2. The next people who queue up are placed on a waitlist. If 32 players get built up onto the waitlist, a second match is started.
3. As a player leaves, the first person on the waitlist replaces that merc. Every player that leaves will be replaced by the next person on the waitlist.
4. If at any point in time, one team has 50% more total WP than the other team, the teams will shift in the middle of battle to keep teams even ( a blue may become a red and vice versa).
5. If the time comes where there are no more players in queue, as players leave teams will shift in the middle of battle to ensure even numbers on each side (see #4)
5. If the number of mercs in this gamemode drops below 32 (again, spitballing), there will be a 30 second "pause" to bring the two seperate battles together into one battle.
Is that kind of what you are talking about? If that is the case, I like the idea and think it would be a great break. Here are the questions I would pose:
How would ISK/SP payouts work? Is it going to be strictly based on WP, or are any other metrics going to be in play? If I am willing (crazy?) enough to bust out my Logi and sit in the same battle for 3 hours farming 75,000 WP, am I going to be paid "x" ISK and SP per WP? We can't really pay for time in battlle, or, if we did, it would have to be very little. Let's say for arguments sake the payout is 1000 ISK per WP and .5 SP per WP. At those numbers, for 3 hours of work and 75,000 WP, I made 7.5 Million ISK and 37500 SP. Again, the numbers are spitballed just for an idea. This seems a bit low for 3 hours of work on the ISK side.
Thokk Kill. Thokk Crush. Thokk Smash.
