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?

Does anyone have a feeling that this sort of invasion process is going to turn into a huge sniper fest?

I know others have shot down the dummy corp idea for holding a district indefinitely given the isk cost but once EVE isk can come into play that can easily be overcome at current isk rates.

So again there needs to be some safeguard beyond ISK to prevent dummycorp to attack valuable districts, if done properly keep the dummy corps to hold no districts, buy 100 clones attack most lucrative districts and keep them perputally engaged in combat 20million isk is nothing to make that happen.

lol
Defense: sniper fest
Offense: tank spam

winner: lone scout hacking objectives. tankers don't leave their tanks snipers don't move period.

When you win a planetary conquest battle. do you personally get money, or does only your corp wallet get the money?

"ISK reward is split amongst team members based on time spent in the match even if the player leaves the match; a minimum of 60 seconds must be spent in the match to qualify."

+ salvage based on a percentage of what the other team lost.

Ya a big corp collecting taxes from the members that just run pub matches can support a dummy corp. pretty well. But I guess this is a legitimate tactic and can see how this can be abused.

Whats stopping you having multi dummy corp. since you cant own space to buy mercs, one simply makes a dozen corps and launders money into them to have them hold hi value places?

Actually I think tank spam might just win that one lol

The attackers should actually avoid taking ALL the objectives - their goal (to claim the district) is to deplete all the clones on it. This means their goal should be to win by clone destruction. They need to keep the points from being hacked from the get-go, or cap 51% of the points and hold them just so they don't lose their MCC.

WARNING AND DOOMSAY:

The described mechanic favors exponential growth! As the ISK making through clones is not dependant on resource rarity and consumption, this can be cracked down to "attack spam 10000 districs, snowball effect and insert rapton of ISK in New Eden".

This is purely a numbers game by spam attacking, setting tedious timezones as defense and just using all manhours in district flipping.

Nullsec sov passive ISK is relying on the moon minerals as industry materials, and by bottlenecks favors defending precious ones. As explained in blog, the system is cracked and won by exponential attack growth and hence by numbers.

NOOOOoooo!

What of Eve's current planetary installation system?

And also besides that, at the end of the blog it says corps will have to form armies and navies so does that mean that we are going to get boats or will we just be swimming around in a big ocean?

Can our corps charge a fee for Eve PI installations in our districts? This would allow a little bit of cross-game transactions, without too badly affecting either economy. It also would promote one corporation to do PI and own the planet to avoid the fees. The corp holding the majority of districts on the planet could potentially gain control of the customs office, as well.

lol - I get through 14.8 pages with no-one asking the question I was thinking, and then you pop up 2 posts from the end of the last page!

I too would like to know whether the planets we'll be fighting for will also have Eve PI happening on them.

I'm guessing there'd be no interaction between them anyway, but it is still interesting to think about. Maybe there could be some indication in the Eve PI interface that the planet has battles raging on it?
