Some of the most entertaining PC matches were when we had one right after the other. A novel way to deal Planetary Conquest would allow the attacker (if victorious) to press the attack. Maybe this takes place in a different set of terrain or maybe it just respawns the match again, but making it take 2 to 3 days to take a district is just bad.
You have to plan out for two to three days just to take on location. This is part of what makes PC a job. The other side of the coin is the same organization being able to attack over, and over, and over after successful defenses. Maybe put in a cool down timer for failed attacks. |

Yeah, we actually made sure to give our guys several day breaks from PC to minimize the burnout and would rotate in new people as well.
We also were very careful not to overlap timers and sold off any excess districts. Funny thing is we never wanted land to begin with. We were always hoping for a legit way to just play pure mercs and let others play clone farmer and empire maker. The only issue with that is CCP made it almost financially impossible.
We did get hired for work as the removal of EON from Hrober, the bashing of Cronos, and removal of STB from Meildolf demonstrated, but in the end just showing up for the same match multiple days at the same hour just gets old. The only progression you see is clones ticking down on a map in a fight for a district.
We've had our fun, got paid to bash, bashed some stuff for fun, and now it's time to move on. |

Imperfects worked with/were hired by EoN to eliminate Orion from Hrober - then someone Hired Imperfects to remove EoN from Hrober? Corporate backstabbing at its best!
Nah, we removed Delta Force from Molden Heath for fun. We did have some pleasure bashes and seeing Orion Empire and Delta Force implode in themselves was one of them. |

They've been going fast so not many left. Shoot me a mail in-game at Kane Spero. Expect the cost to be much less than if you took a district by force with gen packs. The main goal is to get new people into PC so special consideration will be given to organizations that have limited to no territory. |

The real problem with not being able to press an attack is that it makes tactics that involve not showing up to fight viable. If you don't show up to defend you should loose your district pure and simple. If you don't have the manpower to defend the land you've grabbed and you won't fight to defend it then that's on you. |

The issue is in most cases you already get only a 1 time pass defending. The way I look at it as well is that any implementation of pressing an attack should be paired with a cool down if an attacker fails. As it stands now if you attack and fail you can re-attack the next day. I think if you fail an attack and then re-attack the dender should get more than 24 hours to the next match.
I understand the people have responsibilities part, but I also think that is where a more robust system of hiring people to defend your territory can come into play. Essentially say a lot of you corporation are going on vacation for a week. I think you then should be able to set up a contract with someone for them to cover you while you are away.
This is one of the key benefits of really getting the merc aspect of the game into planetary conquest. You can create good game mechanics that make playing PC more fun and punish dumb stuff like not showing up to fight while still allowing people to deal with real life stuff as well. |

Not at all. Use it or loose it. Plus, you have to have the same number of victories attacking to take the district and any loss in the attack sets you back the same and in many cases worse. The only thing that is changed is the dead time between fights, which is one of the key components that makes current District Warfare a job. |
