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.
I'm planning on reporting PC for the foreseeable future. What I can tell you right now without looking at my notes is that I think only two corps are holding more than 10 districts. (Logistical nightmare)
And what I mean by saying that is no single corp will be able to succeed in PC alone. To go further into what I'm saying is, even if there were 1000 districts no one can defend all sides alone alliances will happen. And what you see here in the current model of PC is that some corp leaders realized this and looked to form alliances before hand. Now does this mean their is no room other smaller alliances? No, I believe there is still room. Now does this mean there is room for individual corps? No, don't believe so. Now as a smaller corp that doesn't mean you can make the big guys hurt. Harassing supply lines or attacking when a corp is weak is very possible you could very well make the difference in some of the current wars and earn a spot in an alliance.(food for thought)
But again, I just report what I see. |
