If you can't take a bit of land by interacting with the other corporations through force, diplomacy or subterfuge, you're not getting your hands on any land. It is not your right, you do not create a corporation and then just say "Okay I made a corp, this place is mine now."
Eventually you will have other ways to earn income, and most "big corps" incomes through PC will help supplement their player's losses.
But, you need at least 50 people to play PC, if you don't, tough luck.
Pretty much this.
If you don't have a Corp large enough to field 16 GOOD players on 24 hours notice, you're not going to be keeping your district without help. And hiring help for PC is going to cost. There's no valid reason why everyone should be handed a little piece of New Eden for their very own. You want to own something? TAKE IT. if you're not strong enough, hire someone who is, or build an army, THEN TAKE IT.
If you're a medium Corp and want to hold a district or two, but aren't sure you have the numbers to maintain constant vigilance, you can contract a small Corp - thus giving the smaller Corp PC experience as well - to provide Mercs and fill in the gaps in your roster. |

All of the cards are with the defenders as they can try and attack another using the clones they make, and if they fail then it doesn't matter, they generate more clones and do it again.
My point is this: it will be almost impossible to take a district from somebody who owns more than one already. It's also going to be a ridiculous gamble to try and take a district from anyone anyway. Those who got land will keep it, those who missed out will not.
If you attack and win, they lose 150 clones and they don't produce clones in the following downtime. You also get the option of following up the attack to keep the district locked down. It definitely doesn't favour the defenders. It favours whichever side can win more consistently. And the win conditions are the same for both sides, not unbalanced to favour either side.
Also, once your district is under attack, you can't declare another attack from that district. And if you're serious about thinking defense is easier, then attacking another district to try and balance out your probable loss won't help, because it's hard to win the attack. |
