So what happens when you implement this system what i am asking is do every corp start of with a district so they can attack other corps districts so that was my question. I'm just thinking like this '' you implement the system and i'm a CEO and i want to take this planet'' if i want the planet who will i need to fight for it if a corp starts out with no district's will i be doing PVE at the beginning of this system The districts will all start unowned. So whoever buys a package of clones from Genolution and places them on a district first gets that district.
Welcome to the biggest griefing tactic EVER in the history of New Eden!!

Right now I've read the Wiki piece I have two questions at the moment.
1. What is the dispersal pattern for the initial district seeding. High, Low and Null sec? All three or just one.
2. District actions. With the complete lack of roles available to a corp, Just CEO and directors I think I can speak for what many CEO's will be thinking.
District actions should ONLY be the purview of the CEO and not directors. It's not that I don't trust the guys I've picked for directors, they do sterling work in D-UNI but they have the director role because it was the only one available to give them and it gives them nearly as much power as the CEO.
The CEO should have some definite separation of power from the rest of management other than being able to pick the logo. |

The CEO should have some definite separation of power from the rest of management other than being able to pick the logo. 1) One specific region, we have not announced which one yet. 2) To be honest we need more roles but I don't think limiting this to CEO's will work. Would love to hear from other CEO's though about that. If you don't trust them they shouldn't be a director. If I'm offline for a few days the corp shouldn't sit helpless without me. It does sound like its time to stop being a friendly little squad and start recruiting though.
Oh I do trust them, let make that clear and they are so pumped up for this I can't begin to tell you.
But the lack of roles is a worry. I just want the Dust corps to have the kind of internal compartmentalisation mechanic that Eve corps take for granted. But then I'm an Eve player and as we all know, we're completely paranoid.  |

My apologies, I didn't look at your corp. That's a mighty big herd of cats you have to wrangle and I imagine you have an equally big team of directors for the job.
Cats with big teeth and bigger guns.
No need to apologise. But there are bigger corps than us so I can imagine their CEO's have the same concerns as I.
I'm not the CEO by the way. I'm the clone merc/brother of Dennie Fleetfoot, the Director of Operations, in charge of the day to day running of the corp.
Any other Dust corp managers with Eve toons beginning to understand how schizophrenics feel by the way?
I'm not saying I'm jumping at small noises yet but it can't be far off...

Another major concern is now forming in my mind. Both for the smaller corps and those that have no established links to Eve corps.
The placement of district seeding is going to be crucially important. A Dust corp with a link to a big Eve one can effectively remove any chance of their opponent using OB by blockading a planet and destroying ships that come near a district to give ground support. OB's are an important asset and to not even be even able to use them is going to put a lot of corp off even trying to set up a ground presence.
This problem will mean that it will be absolutely impossible for a small corp to establish anything by itself. They would have to join an alliance.
Those just wanting a carve a niche for themselves are going to find it next to impossible.
I'm not saying that the sandbox should be altered but the game is difficult enough for players not used to it without making it even more difficult
Is there any thinking as to changes in mechanics to stop the larger player blocs from just dominating Dust on day one, because that could lead to some real problems in trying to get players used to COD and it's shortened skill queue into Dust and staying here. |
