Would other clone numbers stay the same? Minimum movement of 100 clones? Max clones without cargo 300? etc.

With Django's exploit, you'd want to be running a 1 man Corp with a go-between delivering money so he doesn't have to earn all the costs for himself.

And you have to choose between the extra 20 clones/2 million ISK, or the extra 5 million from clone destruction.

So you're 20M down, and another 11 million (at most) up after each day. 9 million ISK a day may not be huge by EVE standards, but it's definitely not sustainable on its own, and the more territory you hold, the worse it becomes.

I want to open this up for discussion, we are currently thinking of increasing the clone starter pack to 200 clones. This also means an increase from 20 million to 40 million ISK in cost.

There are a few reasons for this, but before I go into that I want to hear your opinions and thoughts without influencing them.

You will increase the splits corp "issue" ... If you stil need a minimum of 100 clones to attack...

Damn no !!!

Or it could be a real big war on day 1 !!! Well, we had rest enough, let's do some sport !!!

How so?

How so?

Let's not forget that you need to wait until your district unlocks from setting the initial reinforcement timer on day 1, so still no attacking from your first district until day 2.

Day 1

Take one district with main corp.
x districts with sisters.
1 sister attack a district (empty or not ?) with 199 clones, is that possible ?
Main attack the 1st sister with 100 clones.

It could be 3 districts for main on day 1.

Or as I said, a damn war ....

Careful, you're in danger of going back down the route we earlier debunked as unsustainable.

As far as I can see, the only real split corp problem is the one I outlined here

And what if money is not a problem ?
And this will be interesting to have a lots of battles day 1.
We are hungry !!! ;)

First line is exactly my point and why this needs to be addressed.
Second line is going to happen anyway. 1000+ corps to 250 districts? Granted a lot will be turned off by an even higher starting price of 40M isk but I'd say you're still looking at 500+ corps.

BTW, I have no idea where the 1000+ corps number came from - someone said that a few pages back and I've just been running with it ever since. Still, seems like a plausible number.

1) When someone attacks a district it is set as under attack and cannot be attacked by anyone else. To avoid district sniping for 1 hour from the time a battle starts only the currently attacking corporation can launch another attack. This means they can ensure they are the ones to grind a district down.

2) No comment on this.

there are 1000 corps on this game?
corps that actually fight too?

Tbh, 40M is a bigger cost with ISK value today, that's for sure...

Much more difficult to deploy this with 10+ districts, even with a huge and well organize corp as we don't have access to the corporation taxe today ... So it will decrease the massive effect that we could see with 100 clones = 20M.

There are over 1200 threads in the corporation recruitment forum section - granted a decent number of them may be old and defunct or duplicates but there are also many corps who don't use that section too. 1000 functioning corps seems reasonable with maybe 500 able and willing to take part in PC; I can see that being the case.

i see the vast majority of those corps being turned off after the initial failed attempt to take districts off someone and head back to IB or FW tbh

Just to go back to this point quickly - Am I understanding correctly that attacking an unlocked district works on a first come first serve basis? So should an attacker choose not to continue attacking, the attack will go to whoever launches an attack first after the exclusivity hour is up?

Correct

I don't quite understand the exclusivity period. I realize the corp that attacks gets first dibs to attack again, but does that 1-hour exclusivity period include the attack itself or just setting the attack?

In other words, if we attack at 2:00-3:00pm, and want to attack again, will we be attacking at 3:00-4:00pm or will we have to set an attack and it will launch at 2:00-3:00pm the following day?

Also, does having your district in a state of Under Attack prevent your district from attacking anyone else?
