So I've been thinking about planetary conquest and I have some concerns:
How will small corps or new players down the road ever be able to own their own piece of New Eden?
The answer to this question is obvious but probably impossible: CCP opens up all districts on all planets at the same time. This way the smaller corps can own some land as we can afford the buy in but need the districts to earn it back. Let me put it like this:
Our current model supports big corps. The big corp buys land, earns isk through districts and instant pub matches. The only option small corps have is to earn isk through instand pub matches. This model allows for the big corps to get bigger, faster with everyone else left is the dust (514).
My proposed model would be to open all districts and allow everybody a chance to at least keep up with the big corps to some degree. That's it really. However, this is likely impossible as the load on tranquility will be too great and it feels like CCP are engineering us to fight each other. This would not be a problem but it still leaves out the little guy.
Another thing that comes to mind is that CCP will actually exacerbate this situation, perhaps only opening up one or two systems at a time over a long period of time, allowing the big corps who are already growing bigger from their current districts, to conquer these new systems instantly.
I hope some of you share these concerns. |

Now if you are a small corp that just wants to play high end battles against other corps CCP said they are bringing back prestige fights, so if thats more your style I would bug then about getting that out.
It's more to do with passively earning all that ISK. They have tough win conditions in order to take a district as well as having to back at least 80 million into an attack. 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. |

You all make great points but are forgetting to address the real concerns.
If CCP open up a few districts at a time then the big corps will just keep getting bigger while the little guy just gets left behind.
Small corps will be the lifeblood of this game, and they need to have something to do besides instant battle and faction warfare. Personally I can't wait for PvE but I fear that it will cost 100billion isk to build something that's required to get into these matches or we'll need to fight other people too.
It all sounds like I hate the game, and I kind of do but I love it for what it could become. |
