If we go the steal it all route, i want to be able to dump stront into my warehouse to put it into a full lockdown, so owners have time to organize a defenses. This way you dont lose all kinds of stuff becaus of a night raid. This way too, they attackers firs assault, deal with any defenders, "breach" the warehouse, and it goes into stront lockdown. From there, the warehouse owners now must assault and clear out the would be crooks before the warehouse reopens. Could be interesting

but to prevent the attackers fom getting screwed over you would have to be able to give them some way out, say a grab it and run where they lose some of the kit they've captured but can still get the rest out. that leaves the attackers with a "grab and handful and improve our chances of getting it out" method or a "go for broke, lets grab everything and risk the major confrontation" one.

I see a system like that being abused though. Why risk a snatch all one day, when you can take 10% of a corps assets during thier off hours whenever you want? Sure, they can hire mercs, but its not realistic to expect every corp to have full time 23/7 defense they can rely on.

Maybe this is where drones and PvE come in to play. Corps could buy drones and AI to defend 23/7

Yep, or better yet you essentially have one of the most difficult PvE matches of your life, limited clone reserves( 4, 6...some number provided each time an Eve player successfully fires a pod into enemy ship's hull), and to top it all off a certain window of time before Enemy Dust marines are contracted and activated aboard the ship...talk about the ultimate challenge and greatest feeling of success I can imagine :)

You get a 6 man squad but no clone reserves, if a guy dies he's done and you have a squad of 5 now. That would definitely make you think about your loadouts before trying to take someones warehouse.
