You have 2 Corps, 1 main, 1 dummy.
Main Corp has district, dummy has none:
This means you're spending 80 milliion ISK per day to attack, every day, and as soon as you miss your 1-hour repeat attack window once, someone's free to attack.
At the absolute MOST, you're producing 100 clones a day from that district, with a "profit" of 10 million ISK. That means you're 70 million behind each day.
If you have players willing to spawn and suicide to drain the Starter Pack of clones, then you can also collect another 12 million for the Biomass. It also costs you most of the gear they lose - but you get a percentage of the lost gear (if it's not a BPO) back in the form of loot. So using anything but Starter Fits in a farming mission results in a further net loss.
You're still sitting at 58 million ISK lost per day to hold onto one district "safely".
Both Corps have districts:
You can choose which district to attack with, and which to defend with. Once it's under attack, a district can no longer declare an attack. If you don't have a Production Facility, you only produce 75 clones a day, and if you do, you have more losses if you're on different planets, or a lower total clone count in your attacking district (a liability if/when attacked). Even so, you have to send 150 clones to attack, and if you're producing 100, you have to buy clones to keep the district's numbers up. If someone attacks your district, they lock you from buying more clones to reinforce the district, breaking the cycle. You're vulnerable to attack unless you spend 80 million ISK on a clone pack to attack the district with each day, thus bringing back the insane excess cost. You're also spending at least 3 million ISK per attack (transport cost) on top of the clone pack and the sacrifice of a district's profits and the requirement to buy more a second clone pack every 3 days at absolute best.
No matter how many districts you add to the pot, you either need a clone pack purchase every day to attack one of your districts, or you leave a district vulnerable with reduced clone count and open to be attacked. |
