For instance say for instance we have the same numbers for ambush (24 total and 12 a side). 12 people should be relatively easy to field even for smaller corps. In the true essence of EVE where money is power, why not translate funds into clones?
Example:
Both sides are even and field 12 players. This now comes down to which 12 players are better at the game. That sounds good for DUST but that isn't going to fly in EVE if this battle is for an important planet. Instead, after fielding 12 players, allow the corps to purchase clones. Now it comes down to a battle of attrition and the more powerful corporation winning. What you would see now are large corps being able to muscle the battle by supplying 100+ clones compared to the medium sized ones maybe only getting enough resources for 50. This would be a similar scenario to a low sec battle where one corp brings 100+ ships and the other corp only mustering up 50. Money should not win battles and you should not be able to pay to win in a corp battle. Terrible idea. If this is like EVE online then money does win battles and you do pay to win corp battles. It isn't as blatantly obvious but in EVE a corp with a lot of money will fly out in expensive decked out ships specialized for PvP compared to a less wealthy corp where most of the members would be lucky to be flying a well fitted ratting rig. My example would be for Null sec only, it wouldn't affect low or high sec space at all. This isn't eve online though. This is dust and ccp already said this game will not be pay to win. An elite corp battle will be full of the best gear. Sure the corp with best loadouts, teamwork, and skill will win. Money will only win corp battles if the other corp is full of scrubs with militia gear while the other team have all proto gear. Elite corp battle will be on a somewhat level field. Which is how it should be.
They meant paying real money to win, they did not mean paying ISK to win. Your right this isn't Eve, however, it is set in the Eve universe and some bleedover is expected...
