I can see the PC timers going the way of Shadowbane. Back then in that game you could "Bane" someone's city to attack them, the defender set the attack time.
Well, lol, of course, every bane was set for 3-4am.
So I expect if you want to fight over a district that you get players from more timezones because you better believe that most of these are going to be set to make sure you can't field a full squad. |

Why should we give ground to people just because they can't field a full 16 man team? Those small corps should just do FW because they aren't large enough to a big district and hold it.
I mean it all sounds good in theory to help the underdog, but if you can't field an army then you lose. Thats how its been throughout the history of the entire world, if your army can't cut the mustard then you lose.
However I could see subcontracting your defense agreement, if you get attacked you can have another corp buy into the contract and help you meet the 16 man minimum. |

Well, same theory, don't try to hold territory you don't have a large enough army to control. Someone has no business holding 100 districts if they can't field the team required to defend them. I mean, how many Dust players are we expecting to be involved in PC? How many in the game total? How many Dust mercs will there be per planet? EVE alliances are just going to have to come to terms with the Dust people who will inveribly take over the territory. If not they will have to hire out people to kill them to get friendlier people in the district.
This seems like a perfect price point, the really good corps with like 100 members will be able to hold 1 planet at X cost, since demand for them will be high (Maybe if Dust is worth it economy wise to EVE) then their price will go up and there will be better contracts. The point isn't really about any 1 Dust corp, but about the reason to hold territory on a planet and how it relates to the correlation between EVE and Dust.
If its worth it for EVE players to care, then they will make sure they have Dusties there to defend their planets even if they have to contract many dozen of Corps to do their contracts. |
