:

Tried to get a understanding of this, but its not easy, I have some few questions :

I buy a starter pack at 80mill and can take a unoccupied district yes? YES, you can take an unoccupied if one is available or choose the district you with to attack

A random very good corp can attack me at a time I decide by using timeinforcer , but I can loose all in 15min if they kill all our clones? YES, you set a 1 hour window of when your district is vulnerable to be attacked. If your district loses all of its clones then you no longer own the district.

The defender dont have any adventage then that attacker is loosing clones on the way to attack us? Kinda, Your district can have up to i think 450 clones, so if an attacker only lands with 150 clones, you can hopefully outlast them...

If I have have control in space can I call in OB as I am pleased, or is there a limit on it? I believe you still need to earn OB with war points and call them in as needed

So bottom line we put 80mil on the table and have nearly no advantage before the battle, is this how I should understand it? I do not believe that is a fair evaluation of the situation.

Sorry but I am to old to understand all the datasheet, hope you have time to answer this for me, as we are looking in to this. Thanks in advanced.Big smileBig smileBig smile

I should not be a walkover for nolifers that play 24/7 to take down any district they whant, we dont whant another mode where everything is settled over a basic deathmatch. Strategi, should also have a major impact on the outcome, not just who is the best shoot in the face corp. :):) dont get me wrong. But by all means it would be ok to loose a district over a corp that is better in stategy and shoot in face.... :)

I believe you still need to earn OB with war points and call them in as needed So a medicore corp that is not super great in shoot in face will never get many enough WP to really get use of OB, that could mybe be the best card on hand for the attacker. And the defending corp should be alowed to use OB more frequently if they have lined up ships in space, that would even out the battle. If not what is the use of ships that can not fire and help you

THAT is the advantage of having EVE pilots helping you. Totally agree , but my consern is that I would not be able to use the force from space..

Player ships are not. Just lift the WP requirement, and put in place a siege bombardment module that takes a 3 minute cycle to load for strike. Cycling the module causes district alert as well as system alert in eve local. Multiple ships provide multiple strikes, but doing so in lowsec provokes CONCORD due to mass destruction conventions. In other words, nullsec sky dominance allows strikes per minute, suicide ganking planets is in lowsec. My man can I give you a hug +1

It should be something attackers should be aware of and take it in to account. It should not be easy to take down a good corp with total control in space. Let EVE players be more involved on the outcome of real battles in real time.
