There are a few things you might need to know about how Planetary Conquest will work on launch, so CCP FoxFour has written up this helpful blog. |

Quote:The difference between the two is that when the district is unoccupied, or has no owner, when it is first taken the first reinforcement window does not happen and the first possible fight is delayed by 24 hours.
Does this apply to every time an unoccupied district is taken or only the first day PC launches? |

Quote:We had announced that there would be three bonuses in EVE, one for each surface infrastructure. The planetary interaction bonus for owning the production facility has been dropped. There are many reasons for this, the primary being that we didnGÇÖt feel it was a worthwhile bonus to provoke fights and didnGÇÖt have time to create a new one.
Production Facilities were already nerfed from 50% more production to 25% more. Now you're taking away the EVE bonus, making people even less likely to use them. Are there any plans to make them more viable in the near future? |

Every time, but we don't expect many to be unoccupied very often so I focused this on the launch. But yes, every time. |

We actually believe they will be the most common SI and the bonus we were going to give them for EVE was a really lackluster bonus. Temperate planets are not really used for extraction, they are primarily used as factory planets. We would like to look at a bonus that affects factory planets instead.
We will monitor their use post launch and see how things go. If they truly are the least used we will focus on getting that extra bonus out sooner. |

Interesting. The way I look at it is, you can get 20 more clones per day, which is only 2 million ISK, or you can have an entire extra defense worth of clones if you happen to lose twice in a row, thereby potentially saving your district. Also, if this whole "Clone Stealing" thing works as intended, people with PF facilities are even more likely to be attacked because the attacker can steal more clones, thus making them bigger targets. |

May I suggest at least coming up with some plans and have alternatives ready. We saw what happened last time we role something big out  |

Other bonuses are being looked into but for launch the biggest thing we will have going for us is our ability to tweak numbers for the existing bonuses. If the PF does end up being really undervalued due to it's lack of EVE bonus we will put a higher priority on getting one added, or possibly up it's DUST bonus as well.
This is something we will watch very closely. |

Same as the fuel bonus in null sec. So yes, basically if your POS is anchored at a moon around the planet you own a district on, you get the bonus. |

Ah see, these details are whats important.
I thought it was a global fuel reduction for all corp posses. Thanks for clearing that up |

Quick "how" question.
How, will we be capturing unclaimed districts? Will there be an isk cost? Will we have to go to battle with another corp for it? |

What metric will you be using to determine if more PC regions need to be opened up? If every district is ALWAYS under attack is that working as intended? If no districts are under attack does that mean no one is producing enough clones to attack and more regions should be opened?
Also, commenting on a post I saw in the last PC dev blog thread - you decided against FW regions entirely, which is fair enough and makes sense, but what about the systems in those regions that are NOT FW systems (Essence and Seyllin, let's say)? If expansion occurs of PC, will these fringe-case systems be included or should I stop getting my hopes up, lol? |

Simply by moving clones to the district captures it for you right away. If you do not own any districts to move clones from, you will need to deploy a starter pack of clones. |

Will Eve side bonuses stats data be released publicly or do we have to figure them out ourselves? What about stacking bonuses? |

I think an across-the-board cycle time reduction on all PI modules would be better than extraction output anyway. |

Thank you FoxFour and the rest of you at CCP, we know you guys work hard, and we appreciate it. I just hope you guys don't cave into criticism just because the masses say so. That being said, there is a big outcry on the forums that is justified in what they are saying about this new build, but I won't go into that here.
What I really want to say is I'm Fing pumped for Planetary Conquest. I've literally been waiting for years......EvE is a beautiful game and I have high hopes for Dust514. |
