Regarding transfer of ISK: I request that we have two wallets in Dust
1. Merc Wallet: corps can use funds from this wallet to purchase anything on the market (clones, MCC's, HAV, DS, LAV, dropsuits, guns, equipment, structure listed in the wiki, etc). Dust players can donate to this, and money can be given to players. Eve players cannot donate to this wallet.
2. Corp wallet: corps can use funds from this wallet to purchase only planetary structures, MCC's, and clones only; corps cannot purcahase HAV, LAV, DS, dropsuit, etc. Dust players can donate to this wallet, but cannot take funds from it except to make these purchases. In addiition, Eve players can donate ISK to this wallet, or take ISK out. Essentially, this gives corps with a precense in Eve the ability to more directly assist the troops on the ground even if they can't provide orbital support.
Imagine this: two corps - one with an industry presence in Eve and one with a PvP wing. The indy corp can't field OB support to their Dust merc, but they can help fortify the ground defenses in an indirect way (extra clones, for example); the PvP corp doesn't have the finances to help on with the extra clones, but can provide direct OB support during battle to balance out the wealth of the other corp.
Thoughts? |

If you own no districts and buy a batch of clones can you then attack anywhere? How many clones can you have if you don't own a district?
1. 250 planets 2. Yes, you can attack anywhere 3. Good question |

Zahle Undt wrote:I'm very confused (nothing new for me) and probably won't really understand things until we get to try it, but what would be the actual mechanics of attacking and defending? So lets say Tritan wants to attack a district owned by STB, STB gets a message they are being attacked and they get to set a time for the battle? Do they have a fixed time window?
The way this is sounding is, all you need is 16 awesome players and you're golden, that would be a real shame.
IMO the attack/defend system should work like this. Corp A attacks district owned by Corp B. Corp B now has 1 hour to muster its best defense. Both corps can pull in anyone willing to fight for them through squad mechanic. Any members of corp and the corp's alliance can join the battle individually. This gives corporations incentives to make allies and have their back watched at all times and to recruit from all parts of the globe.
Defenders have advantage of knowing terrain and having preset installations.
Attackers should have the advantage of timing the attack.
The defending corp sets a reinforcement timer - attacks only happen when this timer runs out (and there is a 1 hour window until the next reinforcement stage happens). When you attack, the attack is set for the window that happens at least 24 hours from when you "attack".
So basically, you attack, then the next day there is the actual battle to give you time to organize a defense (your own players, ringers, etc). Attackers will know when the window is and can plan accordingly - so if the window is too inconvenience, you pick a different target. |

Makes it a bit more of an achievement. And no one can re-name it until they take the majority of districts. Would be great fun. The Chest beating will commence And the TTP will be incredibly short. Surely you know this, Foxy. Damn that corp title looks good under your name Heinrich : ) My question is that of the corp wallet. I tried to find it but because i'm on my phone i could have missed a page or so. Will we be able to purchase the clones and such from our EVE corp wallets or just our DUST corp wallet?
I suggested this but got no reply. |

With all this added revenue, will the CEO and Directors get improved ways to divvy up the ISK to the corp members? Will (non-director) corp members be able to see who is getting paid by the corp?
This doesn't happen in Eve so I doubt they will do it in Dust |

Whether they choose to use them all up is up to them If a defender chooses to hold some clones back and loses then what happens? The attacker wins the district but what happens to the reserved clones? The defender loses at least 100 clones regardless of how many they consumed. The remaining stay at the district and the attacker can launch another attack if they wish. When you say they can launch another attack, does that battle commence immediately or does it take place again 24 hours later? Edit- Also with the squad count going up to 6 will the WP requirement for PS/OB still remain 2500 or will it be increased?
Shhhh!! We want more OB! |
