Two questions that I could not confirm:
1. Since limitations to Clone Starter Pack purchase has been lifted. Will we have the capability to purchase multiple packs for a single unoccupied District?
2. I understand unoccupied Districts will have an established Reinforcement Timer when initially captured. Will we still have the capability to change the timer after the 24 (or 48) hour mark, or has that option been eliminated from P/C?
Thanks. |

What kind of notifications will EvE pilots receive about battles in system? Will there be a way to check for battles or do I have to go district to district or be in a corp that is fighting and told me? |

Unless I'm not understanding, is there anything to stop a corp active in vastly different time zones from invading when another corps is unable to muster a defense (like, in the morning during their work week?). If the battles are always offset an exact time from the invasion, it seems like this could happen often. |

1. I'm almost certain they said you could do this if you wanted.
2. It makes no sense for them to remove that ability when the whole point of the RT is so people can't just hit you while 95% of your corp is asleep/at work/etc. If they removed the ability to set your own RT, then we'd all be at the mercy of the pre-established ones, which would be incredibly annoying and sort of defeat the purpose.

You set your own timer for your districts, meaning pick a time where most of your players are on to avoid this sort of thing. |

CCP SoxFour answered this elsewhere, during fanfest presentation I think.
Answer was, Battle time will be random in that one hour window, but it will say the exact time as soon as it is confirmed.
So when you attack you will know sometime 1400-1500, once you have confirmed attack you and defender will find out the exact time. |

Confirm the attack?

The basic idea is you pick clones up from one of your own districts and place them on another district. When you select the target district you get a dialogue window telling you the costs of everything along with telling you the one hour window in which the battle will happen.
Once you confirm that dialogue window you have committed to the attack and the final exact time of the battle will be shown in the battle finder.
Here is the presentation I did at Fanfest about planetary conquest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIdn8IVczVM&list=SPldrBIEnJ5hNf5bDBahRZic-k3Rh-Bs_n&index=11

My estimate will be weekends. While during the week most people have lives to live and have a set schedule, the weekend is where all bets are off. Something that would be terribly inconvienient for European or far east players can easily be made up for on the weekend as you can adjust your timing accordingly. Most often the timers for North American players will be around 20:00-04:00 EVE time so depending on where your playerbase is, if you really wanted a certain district you can have your team wake up early or stay up a little later and grab the district.
Weekdays I'm geussing is where the action is going to happen between corps within thier time-region. |

this seems the most likely situation. i'm just curious what ccp would think if it did happen that all the districts started concentrating in one time zone. |

Then that would mean they havn't attracted enough of a playerbase in other regions. It would give them a clear indicator where to focus thier marketing.
But the larger alliances will have mercs around the clock and if you were to concentrate all your reinforcement timers into 1 time zone, you're limiting the amount of mercs you can bring for defence. The amount of areas you can defend will be key to the size of the territory these groups control so spreading your timers in relation to how many mercs you have across the differant time zones will allow you to control a larger number of areas.
So while it is possible, it's extremely unlikely that will be the case. And like I said, if you are a totally EU corp let's say and you're just starting to make your mark, then you can take a district over the weekend and then switch it's timer to force other groups to fight on your times or bring thier EU teams to face you during the week.
That said I do expect a majority of the timers to be NA based though from what I've seen of the community so far, but it won't be total domination. |

Hey FoxFour...
Do you have the list of districts with their SI and Reinforcement Timers?
Thanks!

As an Eve player, I am curious about why you feel PI will not pull in fights.
Is it because the Dust players may not feel the importance or value of PI in this?
From the Eve stand point, POCO fights are very common and a fantastic way to get an engagement going. It seemed that if PI was important the Dust players with their Eve corporations would want the PI improvements which would call for them to take over POCOs due to tax rates and engage in fights.
The push and pull between Eve and Dust looked like it would be interesting for this resource. Especially, considering that these conflicts already happen over resources and Eve corporations have been battling over temperate POCOs since this was announced. That gets them vested into Dust players on the corporation and District level and hopefully, looking outside of their box. |

POS production bonus is very real. POS fuel bonus is unimportant. POS moon mining bonus would be very real. |
