Add a warchest mechanic that the attackers have to at least risk something of value to attack.
Think of it like a pool of isk where the clones for the raid must be supplied from. Not enough isk then not enough suits.
Lose the match lose the warchest.

Truth be told, easiest solution is adding ISK value to clone death again. However, it only applies to clones destroyed in battle.

Logic wise: It might be easiest to add a flat ISK bonus to any SUIT destroyed in PC, and leave the actual clones at zero.

We don't want Farmville514 again, but right now defenders get nothing out of a successful defense.

PC is supposed to be high risk, high reward. For raiders, its no Risk, Low reward. For defenders, its high risk, no reward.

This isn't healthy.

What we REALLY need to fix right now is no shows. Those are a COMPLETE waste of time now. Spam attacks with the new "No cost" clone packs and then never show up. We have to field to defend, and we get NOTHING out of doing so.

Viable troll tactic strategy

I usually consider things as viable if they work to accomplish some tangible goal. Launching an attack then no showing does nothing. Usually we go in, hack points, and leave one in and go about our business. I would call that awful trolling that accomplishes nothing but wasting CP.

People like to think or make it out like you are bugging or hurting a PC corp in some way but you just are not. I find it quite silly people consider this a "viable tactic". Used in conjunction with real attacks, mass attacks are useful in creating disorder amonst the defender but launching single random attacks and no showing is just dumb.

"Winning" like charlie sheen, congrats!

The goal works in congruency with surprise elementals and general pawn rush strategies. A starved opponent is a confused one, creating discord and dissent amongst their own ranks. Organized units can schedule consistent attacks while having "diversion units" not show initially and then form up for later attacks. No matter how elite you are, this has an affect on your mental.

So its a viable troll tactic strategy. I don't care about hurting a PC corp, the goal of raiding is to get the PC corp to hurt itself. Cause confusion and allow the hilarity to ensue. A raider doesn't follow your elite rules. Chaos is their law and their gift to you.
