Will that compromise be acceptable?
This way corps would also be forced to spread the talent among squads and train up their other members so that they can accept more contracts. Nah, this is worse. Corp war is intend for those EVE corp out there wrestling for galaxy domination. They will need flexibility to attack many different ditricts/planet in the same day/time of day. Putting a cap like this will annoying not only Dust player but EVE player as well. Corp battle is battle for wealth (land and isk alike) not for SP grind. Like Lurchasaurus aid, let's the money be where it is and the sp where it is. Also, with this sp cap around I believe we will only need to go to pub game a few day a week. Then the rest of the week won't yield you any usable SP anyway.
This, pretty much.
As an example, think of 'regular' MMOs. You grind levels, but you also have raid-nights where you get together with your guild or whatever to stomp some skulls. You don't do both at the same time.
Grind is menial work that's necessary to progress. But you don't do menial work during the 'big game', do you? Athletes don't take their training weights out onto the track with them.
In a corp battle, your corp's interests are your driving force and your highest priority. What happens to that if you're still focused on getting your SP's at the end of it? |

Why would we want to do Corp Battle's in the first place if we're not obligated to do so? Corp battles are for people who WANT to do them, not people who have to out of grinding necessity.

This way corps would also be forced to spread the talent among squads and train up their other members so that they can accept more contracts. This would be extremely BAD. Once player corporations will be able to own districts and planets you will need to defend them. If half of your corp members can't join battles because they alreday met your proposed limit how are you going to defend your planet(s)? An attack in the EvE universe can start at any time of the day, if you don't have the numbers to defend your territory you will lose it. Right - but when they attack you don't suddenly stop gaining SP.
I think SP grinding can wait 5 minutes while you fight off a pesky invasion. You don't NEED to be breathing SP every damn second. |
