1.) I don't entirely disagree, but the fact is, what if no one wants to buy a district from a person, but the guy doesn't want to defend it. If you could sell it for like 30 mill it'd be a last resort option because you would either have to pay 160-240 mill for the attacks assuming you win them, or use clones from a district losing at least 16 mill profit. So selling them would make you 4 mill profit. In addition you would lose the potential gains you otherwise would from keeping it online, so I guess I simply disagree with you that it would contribute to excess isk. It just makes raiding slightly profitable for those uninterested in being tied down to a timer or district they don't want.

3.) Say you and your forsworn enemy are on different sides of the same region with a bunch of guys in your way, instead of being all safe from him because he doesn't have the same amount of money as you to buy clone packs and you can simply attack him relentlessly until you're money comes out, now you must cross the region, strategically planning which districts to take as not to alienate 2 many foes to get to that constellation/planet to fight him. I'm talking about PC, not the individual battles themselves, to clarify.

It's better to allow a secondary market in which district owners can directly sell to other district owners without needing to start a battle like we do now. This would make it interesting as players establish themselves as real estate moguls in the future. This way, the market doesn't get flooded with excess ISK and thus keep ISK flowing between players. As a result, the value of ISK is prevented from being devalued. District owners are already making enough ISK as it is selling extra clones to the NPC. 2. Seems like a good idea... on paper. But it may not work practically. I would let CCP do the research since they have the proper metrics to make that decision. 3. I don't see how increasing the cost of clone packs will help in prolonging the attacks or making them more planned. Sounds counter intuitive. Preventing them buying more clone packs while owning district is something I have my doubts on. I would say the best way to about this is to reinstate the Skirmish 1.0 game mode into PC battles so that attackers will have to first hack defense relays in order to be able to access the null cannons that are protected by the defender's HUGE redline. This will encourage more strategy and prolongs the battle and focuses the battle into smaller areas of intense fire fights. 4. I agree that we should know what the maps look like before the start of every battle. The holographic table in the warbarge should be used to display this information.

I'm talking about PC, not the individual battles themselves, to clarify. 1. If no one wants to buy the district from you, then it's possible that your real estate may not be so prime and therefore it is likely that no one will attack it. In the meantime you can just let it sit and accumulate clones for selling and profit. But since every piece territory will matter, it's likely someone will buy it from you. You just gotta know who to sell it to. This makes the metagaming aspect of Dust all the more interesting because now you have to learn the art of negotiating. There will always be a buyer who is willing to take the time to defend it or just resell it at a marked up price like traders do. Of course, we're basing our assumptions here on the current state of the districts which we know CCP will change soon enough. 2. Hmm. I guess I'll let the rest of the community weigh in on this.
