I was all hesitant when I saw the ability to restrict battle size, imagining corps doing it to every district and ward, but then I read the whole thing. Good work.
And someone said there must be a battle. I don't think so. If the defending corp doesn't issue a contracts, either due to a lack of funds or because they forgot, then oh well. Sometimes in real life we reach the battlefield only to find out there is not battle, the enemy didn't show. |

There was another thread where it was discussed and CCP FoxFour seemed to suggest that it was not really a priority. I guess for me the priority needs to be on resource diversity, and to make district conquest feel like warfare instead of just a single Ambush match.
Selling could be done by proxy. Basically, the owner wanting to sell it would arrange payment (before or after, depending on who trusts who how much, heck we'd likely see such and such up front, and the rest on delivery type agreements ,too). After payment arrangements and any necessary up front transfers are done, then the buyer 'attacks' the planet, by sending in DUST mercs to secure their new purchase.
Of course, this is the point where the potential for double cross kicks in, as it should. The seller could have a DUST merc corp waiting and then refuse to hand it over (in theory after having received some payment at least, otherwise they're idjits). Or, the buyer could arrive, claim their purchase, then refuse to pay. Wars have been started over less.
The only law is the law of might in null-sec after all. Maybe low-sec will have Concord-guaranteed transactions at some point, but I don't see it as necessary. In a truly player driven economy we can find a way to make it work. Trust will be key, and some corps will be rated as trustworthy, and others will become known as treacherous. Sellers and buyers who don't take the time to figure out who they're dealing with deserve the repercussions. New Eden's just that kind of place.  |
