Skihids Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 972	Posted - 2013.02.26 19:25:00 - [1] - Quote I'm new to the discussion, but as I see it the devs are going to have to make planetary ownership more expensive overall if they want DUST to be an ISK sink for EVE. My reasoning; It has to be cheaper for an EVE corp to employ DUST mercs than to just use their own ships to battle it out. It there is no economic incentive it won't happen, and if there is an economic incentive it will be a net ISK gain for EVE. So if no economic incentive curretnly exists to encourage hiring mercs, CCP has to add one. They could increase the total cost of taking a planet with EVE resources only, or they could outright make it impossible if the other side hired mercs to defend it. Then hiring mercs would end up costing EVE corps more than they spent in the past, but not as much as not hiring mercs.

That would force an attacker to start in an adjacent district and attack by land and air. Of course that could be a problem if a defender established orbital defenses in every district. Perhaps it would be prohibitively expensive to do that. Maybe it would cost a certain amount for maintenance/upkeep of the defenses so it would be too much of a drain to guard an entire planet that way.

It would seem to me that defines a minimum attack timer because you can't just drop from an empty sky. I'm not an EVE player, but it's also logical to assume that you can keep track of how many of what kinds of ships are moving through the gates, perhaps even employing spies to keep tabs on enemy war barges. That would result in a greater warning.
