We will be limited to setting times on the hour, or will be be allowed finite control down to the minute?

This seems like a small thing but could actually be a big strategy point of interest if we are allowed finite control.

it will probably be on the hour, and 23 hours available

On the hour and both the 10:00 -> 11:00 and 11:00 to 12:00 hours will not be selectable.

For now only 22 hours per day yes.

Also you get to choose a 1 hour window but the battles could be scheduled at any 10 minute interval within that hour. So if you set the reinforce from 2:00 to 3:00 you could end up with a battle that starts at say 2:40.

Speaking of reinforcements, here's a question I haven't seen answered yet. Say your corp owns 5 districts on a planet and one gets attacked. You lose by MCC destruction and lose 150 clones. Can send reinforcements by moving clones from one of the other districts to the one that had been attacked? I assume you could also do this if you won the battle.

On a related note, when getting attacked would you see what district the attack was coming from so that you could set up a counter attack?

Not sure if you can move in between the battle ending and the attacker's follow-up declaration or not.

No, the district will be considered locked during that time.

Smaller corps will never be able to win territory off larger corps and ill demonstrate why.

Corp A has three territories, Corp B have 10 territories.

Corp A launches an attack from A1, is good and beats Corp B in one match over territory B1.

Corp B launches attacks on A1-A3 from B2-B4.

Corp A has no territory to launch an attack on B1 from to finish the job, faces fighting to protect a depleted A1 and what's more has potentially 2 more territory at risk. They now have to fight 3 more battles just for survival and without even winning a battle the larger corp is already recovering and replenishing.

Even if corp B can't be bothered to finish them off, corp B now know their place. In conquest it doesn't matter how good you are or how much you win, a corp with more territory will always be able to beat you.

Oh and yes I know other corps could also launch attacks at the same time but based on a couple of models I ran with this example it would be possible for a corp with 10 territories to hold off 4 corps with 3 territories each by using this method and alternating between targets merely to break the sieges. Then if any of the smaller corps stopped attacking even for a day it would be possible through weight of numbers to take out all of the smaller corps one by one over a period of just over a week through weight of production vs consumption.

You taking into account biomass gathered at the end of a battle, or clone loss due to travel distance, in these scenario's? also are these based on the original figures, or the ones CCP FoxFour has been posting since then?

can an attacking corp attack multiple times within an hour? Say we start a battle at the beginning of the window, finnish before the hour is over, could we set up an additional attack?

Oh ****....

If you expand this model what will quickly happen is the largest corps will quickly expand until they bump up against another large corp and then change direction to consume other small corps through sheer weight of numbers until eventually only the largest corps remain. Based on a scenario of 250 territories and a daily conflict cycle this could happen within months of release.

Further more no one will be able to break in because even if you win a territory from a large corp they can immediately and perpetually siege the territory until you can no longer sustain your defences...
