Inter-alliance clone transfers would be nice but since districts being attacked are locked, it won't help (unless that is rectified). This would encourage small corp alliances to become common practice.

So this is now a disadvantage for the defender. A bigger corp can keep attacking the same district over and over again till the clones deplete. How is this balanced again?

True dat. Its just that I want this game to succeed. However pushing the Eve mentality is a bit premature.

For example;- in Eve even though corps may dislike each other they say GF in the end. You don't see much smack talking. However is Dust its the other way round. More smack talking and less action.

If Dust becomes like Eve where the Zerg mentality wins and its more about throwing thousands of clones with no skill against a smaller corp with better skill, you will see people leaving.

Day 1: Throw 100 clones;- deplete 10. District cannot produce more clones
Day 2: Repeat day1
Day 3: Repeat day 2
....

By day 10 the defender is out of clones.

Unless I got it all wrong there is a serious flaw here.

Banned OP should fall on deaf ears. CCP don't listen to nerd.


Your few seconds of fame is officially over.

Define "balanced." As far as I'm concerned, it's balanced because everyone is given the same opportunity to create/join an alliance.

For example;- in Eve even though corps may dislike each other they say GF in the end. You don't see much smack talking. However is Dust its the other way round. More smack talking and less action.

I heard you were being paid 5 million ISK per ringer. And still you guys lost to Dust University and other corps.

I guess with ZeroTheBigLoss spearheading the ringing effort you couldn't expect anything more. Try as may you will never be better than Tryhard. Keep walking in his shadow. You will make a pretty bride.

Unfortunately no. The only way you can create an alliance is in Eve. Dust does not let you create alliances. An all dust corp cannot join an alliance unless they have an Eve CEO. So its flawed here.

Granted Dust and Eve need to mesh together but a lot of corps don't have Eve tie ups;- not because they cant but because they have no way of doing so.

So unfortunately Sir;- you are mistaken here.

You don't need the alliance tag to be a part of an alliance.

Lol! You really should get a better source I have never even fought Dust University I give you props for making up something as funny as this.

So how can you transfer clones between alliance members. Are you suggesting that one corp be able to sell their clones to another corp for ISK?

This can't be done in a formal alliance any more than in an informal one.

Lets talk about the lag

Inter-alliance monetary transfers are possible though, right?

no

If we want this game to succeed you need to think about making it competitive. Having small corps compete with big corps/alliances on an uneven playing field will not make the game fun. The cost of the clones should be proportional to the corp size. Setting a base price for the clones and multiplying that with the member count or having some sort of algorithm to do that would help the smaller corps a lot.

Ya Dust is not gonna spoon feed you. Adapt or die.

Im not talking about RPG mechanics. I am talking about balance. I have over 14 million SP. It has nothing to do with what I am talking about.

I am talking about smaller corps vs larger corps.

PS: How long do you think it will before Uncliamed or Cronos or RofL or EoN takes your districts?

I don''t get why people think that because their corp aint huge or successful they feel they should be spoon fed.

"The cost of the clones should be proportional to the corp size."

This is the funniest line I've heard in this whole thread.

Why not? CCP already made it so that the size of your corp in EVE effects the cost of the wardec.

When EVE players are allowed to transfer ISK then small corps will not have a problem supplying mercs for PC.
