expanding on that idea you could make something like this
You could give the black ops and stealth ship's some kind of troop module that lets them carry troops as a raiding force. You could turn the armoury into an objective driven match with the defending corp having to defend supply points(where the gear is stored) and the attackers trying to take them over. Once the attackers have captured the supply points they have to hold them for as long as possible, the longer they hold them, the higher the percent of gear they can steal. say to a maximum of 15% of whatever is held in the armoury. Of course this this being a raid the defenders would be given short notice of the match (say 5 minutes) while the attacking corp gets a longer period.
To offset this disadvantage to the defenders the attackers get limited access to HAV's and other vehicles due to the lack of transport room eve side, while the defenders get normal access to all vehicles. . If the defender's don't show you would give the attacker's a default 10% of the armoury.
it just and idea what do you think? |

Squally 160 wrote: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. |

Fully agree with that. It should alert pilots a merc drop is in progress, and eve side the mercs dripships need to be defended while the raid akes place, promoting coordination on both fronts. And, allowing evepilot merc corps a chance to participate. As both defense and offense. As well, if this is the case, if a warehouse goes into full blown lockdown, it cannot be accesed by the owners during that time. So there is a real threat to losing things rather than just "oh, its in lockdown? We have 8 hours left to jump everything out dont worry."
but you're going to need to give the eve side guys some valuable incentive to do this beyond giving the dust guys a firefight and stealing (by eve standards) a relatively cheap amount of kit. if you made it so you had blueprints or resources needed to develop planetary districts(which will affect both eve and dusk it might provide some incentive for the eve players to involved |

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.
the 10% was and idea it would probaly need some adjusting if this rather far-fetched(if awsome) idea ever made it into the game |

I believe we're taking the approach that your fitting is your "personal blueprint" so to speak but that the inventory is the actual physical kit stored in a physical location. I mean it's not like the warbarge has an onboard factory to produce everything, the assumption is that the kit is stored somewhere, This is just a step along that line, that a corporations assets are held in an area prior to distribution. |
