Because it is going to mean losing your district. In a one-off scenario, I agree, this is very exploitable.

However, I am thinking/hoping that if EVERYONE has this going on (and most corps will have multiple districts) and districts keep changing, that will leave them vulnerable to rival corps.

If you are in the midst of swapping out for profits with an friendly/alt corp and a rival corp sees this, would that not create a good time to attack the alt corp which may not have as many members from the true corp and thus be more vulnerable to attack.

I just think that have this little incentive and keeping things constantly changing (even if friendly changes some/most of the time) will allow for more conflict and less stagnant PC.

Scenario

Light blue moves all but 10 clones out of district nearly abandoning it.
Blue team moves 150 clones to attack.

Light Blue loses 10 clones and autoloses
Blue team wins district and fund.

Blue team abandons district by moving 150 clones back out
Light blue reoccupies zone with the formerly moved out clones.

Rinse Repeat Profit.

Possible solution:

Have a lock out timer to where once you lose a district, you cannot move to retake it for 48 / 72 hours thus leaving the alt corp vulnerable to attack from Red or Light red

This would encourage coprs to always have a hold on certain districts because if they lost a strategic district it could leave them cut off.

Scenario. Create 4 farming alts. Light-blue periwinkle sky-blue and sapphire circle jerk as necessary to circumvent timer.

Essentially, take 5% / 7% / 10% from the profit (per day they are in control) that a corporation makes on a district and store it in a "takeover fund" so that whomever comes in and takes over the district will be rewarded with this "takeover fund". This will provide incentive to attack, especially when these funds get to be really large numbers... To me (a novice) this seems like it would be a "quicker" solution and would not take as many man hours to program as some of the loftier ideas shared thus far...

I admit it is not fool-proof but I do still think it would help as it would be A LOT to manage if you owned multiple districts. Additionally, as the alt corps were "circle jerking as necessary to circumvent timer" they would be susceptible to attack from Red, Light red, Pink, Crimson, Cardinal Red, Ruby, Fire Engine Red and Maroon.
