Yeah i checked the footage i had (i film these things) and their starting clones were 230, their ending clones amount was 167 and we won by MCC

Upon getting back into the quarters, i see they have 160 clones left and the district is 'online' so i pay another 80m to hit them again in 2 days, which surely means they will get 2 RT clone drops right? cos the district isnt offline.

Sounds broken to me that does, whats the point in hitting stuff.....

We attacked an enemy district today that had 240 clones at start. we won by MCC takedown, killing perhaps 100 clones

When exactly was the RT timer? Because everyone who got a district on Day 1 (which is everyone who has one now) should have gotten 2 RT worth of clones. I think you were lucky that somehow they only got 1 day's worth, but unlucky because they only lost 70 clones for some reason after the match was over. Fortunately, these cancel each other out and they'd be at 160 anyway (or 150 depending on what SI they had).
Depending on how long after the battle started before you launched your second attack, it's possible you missed your 1-hour exclusivity window, meaning you'd have to wait 2 days. If you know for a fact that you launched your second starter pack within an hour of the starting time of the first battle, then it's a bug.

Also, because the defender lost, their next RT timer won't generate clones, meaning even if you attack 2 days from now, they'll only get 1 RT worth of clones.

In this example I am smarter, know I probably wonGÇÖt win so I only send the 150 clone minimum instead of 200 clones:

I attack your district with 150 clones.
I lose 100 clones in the fight and lose my MCC because I am still terrible.
Because I only lost 100 clones another 50 are destroyed to reach the 150 clone loss minimum.
There are now 0 remaining clones. The defender does not get any extra clones.

It will be challenging but not impossible. It's kind of like small corps in EVE saving up for their first POS. Its a big investment for them and at the same time very exciting. However unlike POS's provided you can field a strong 16 man team you have just as much chance of maintaining your district as the big guys.

nullabor im sorry but you are way too wrong it is IMPOSSIBLE!!! it really is i am in a small corp we held a single district for 3 days but lost all battle's (should of lost the district in the 2 battle we kept it due to a glitch. so ccp you f***ed up only the big corp's have districts most districts are owned by seriphim. this is bad it needs to be fixed ASAP. im sorry to be so blunt but so far there have been nothing but complete failure's on planetary conquest deseigning it was supposed to be fun howhever it is no where near enjoyable

They need to adjust the attack times, 24 hour is to low. Soon PC will be a few major corps holding then this game will quickly go to nothing. It's not even fun to defend anymore. Becoming more of a chore than a game to enjoy.
