Hi everyone, Hi CCP dev team,

I hope I don't do double post on it, because I didn't find it but in the case, don't hesitate to move my post.

Now that will have Planetary Conquest, and regarding the real 'danger' for small corp to engage their player into Planetary Conquest, due to the clone pack price and all arround small player team issue, I would to ask for something that should come with next release.

My corporation is today Eve and Dust represented, even if born on Dust side.
Our Mercenaries are so excited since Planetary Conquest hes been announced that we focused on how to handle it and we thought to be able to manage it.
At 20M isk clone pack it was hard challenger, for us due to small player team online at same time each day.
But since the last announce, we are know face to real issue : 80M isk... very expensive cost for us to start PC alone.

So we thought that Alliance could solve our problem.

But...Even if other Dust corp agree to join our Alliance, I'm face some of irritent issues.

Fist, How a full Dust corp can apply to our Alliance ? (they cannot actually do it from Dust, they need Eve CEO...)
So ok, I have a solution which is quite ok.
If they want to join us, they can give us 10 minutes of CEO role to apply our Alliance (from our dedicated player which will only do Alliance apply operation for them).
How ? These mercenaries corporation agreed with us to say ok: we'll accept your Eve player to become CEO of our corp to do the Alliance Apply. And to be safe we'll move our corp isk to actual CEO player to be sure you'll not take our isk, before giving CEO role to your player.
And doing this, trust established between both parts, we could have simple way to enroll Dust corp to play with us.
And because we want more player with us, we thought to offer the 1st month Alliance fees to this corp. Then they will stay with us and pay CONCORD, or they will have choice to leave.
We are very fair player team and cool team, no ? yes it the fact.

But again a question is coming ... How they will be able to pay CONCORD once the first month ending ?
They could pay but how ? no isk between Dust and Eve today, nor in the announce with next release, so ?? Should my dedicated Alliance player have to become again CEO, pay tax and then give back CEO role to the friend corp ?
Boring time, really...

An other thing that comes up with this.
Even if they join us in Alliance, and they are able to pay CONCORD and stay with us, if they don't have enough isk to have their own clone pack, we Would be able as a real fair play alliance to offer them cone pack, but we can't...
Once again, isk from/to Eve and Dust is not open...

So that mean, we have to do nothing, leave the game and choose another one ?? no I don't know and they don't know because they believe in CCP reactivity.

So please do something for next May, 6th.
or explain us your plan.

That would be really appreciate, that PC is not just in the hand of Top 50 corporations.

Thanks a lot.
Run and Fly safe.
