Full Proposal PDF: DUST - Planetary Conquest.pdf
Current Planetary Conquest System
- Very repetitive
- Too much waiting for a single match
- Requires A-Squads only
- No different than instant battles
- Cost prohibitive for attacking / defending
Proposed Revised Planetary Conquest System (Below)
- Feels like an actual invasion
- Multiple / variable match types
- Faster paced
- Timers make sense and have reasons
- Requires A, B and C Squads
- Still works for small corps
- Big rewards for winning matches
Here is the process of attacking a District under the proposed new systemGǪ
Step 1: Put Warbarge in orbit over target District
To attack a district you pay 100,000,000 ISK for a Warbarge with 1000 clones (Your paying for the clones - Warbarges are free, they're magic)
- Select District to attack
- Pay 100,000,000 ISK for clones
- Commence Attack
Your Warbarge is now en-route and will arrive in orbit over the District in 1 hour. (Would be cool if you could see it in EVE)
Step 2: Attack the Shield Relays
Each District is protected by 1 - 7 Shield Relays (depends on configuration, explained later). These need to be destroyed. While these are up you cannot call in Orbital Bombardments. You can have up to 2 simultaneous battles at one time.
- Select a Shield Relay to attack (80 clones)
- Commence Attack
A battle is now queued and will begin within the hour.
Step 3: Destroy the Shield Relays (DUST Battle)
To destroy a Relay you need to destroy its two generators with remote explosives (or other munitions). Each generator is protected by a shield that must be hacked. Destroying all the generators ends the match. Running out of clones ends the match. Generator destruction doesnGÇÖt persist between matches (they have speedy repair drones!).
- Hack Relay Console
- Defend Console until hack completes
- Destroy Generator with remote explosives, vehicles, or other nefarious means
- Repeat until both generators are destroyed
Once you succeed in destroying all of the Shield Relays protecting the District will enter Emergency Reinforcement mode for 24 hours. During this time it cannot be attacked and it will not fire on your Warbarge.
Step 4: Attack the Main District / Skyfire Batteries / Defense Grids
When the District exits Emergency Reinforcement mode 24 hours later it will be unshielded. While it is unshielded it does not produce anything / gain passive ISK. You can either attack the Main District, the Skyfire Batteries protecting it, or the Defense Grids reinforcing it. Your goal is to obtain 100 GÇ£control pointsGÇ¥ (better term needed). Each victory gains you points and each loss loses you points.
- Attacking the Main District will gain you control points based on the match type.
Skyfire Battery / Defense Grid = 10 points each
8 man Ambush = 15
16 man Ambush = 20
Skirmish and Domination = 25
- Destroying a Skyfire Batteries gains you 10 points and will stop it from firing at your Warbarge. If your Warbarge sustains enough damage it will be destroyed; ending your attack and you losing you any clones remaining inside it. A District can have 1 - 4 Skyfire Batteries (depending on configuration). These do not fire while the District is in Reinforced mode. To destroy a battery you must destroy its two generators (just like the Shield Relays).
1 battery will destroy your WarbargeGÇÖs in 24 hours
2 batteries = 12 hours
3 batteries = 6 hours
4 batteries = 3 hours
- Attacking the Defense Grids gains you 10 control points and will stop its Daily Reinforcement cycle from occurring. This cycle stops all attacks from occurring but also disables the Skyfire Batteries. Destroying a generator can greatly help if the District you are attacking is in a different time zone. To destroy a generator you must destroy its five generators (just like the Shield Relays).
1 generator = 8 hour cycle
2 generators = 16 hour cycle
You will need to choose where and how you are attacking.
- Select your Attack Type
8 man Ambush (80 clones)
16 man Ambush (120 clones)
Skirmish / Domination (160 clones)
Skyfire Battery (120 clones)
Defense Grid (120 clones)
- Commence Attack
- Repeat until you gain 100 control points
You can have up to 2 battles queued. The defender can have up to 2 battles against you queued (for a total of 4 queued battles at one time).
Step 5: Attack the District Control Center
This is it. Get your MCC to the control tower (Skirmish 1.0 style) and the District is yours. If you fail you lose 30 control points.
- Attack the District Control Tower (240 clones)
- Commence Attack
- Win
Taking the District Control Center gives you control of the District. You inherit all the modules (that you didnGÇÖt already destroy) and any clones remaining in the DistrictGÇÖs coffers and your Warbarge. Your Warbarge will stay in orbit for 24 hours to provide you with cover (District cannot be attacked) while you configure your new DistrictGÇÖs modules. After 24 hours your Warbarge will warp out and your new District is open to be attacked. |

District Configuration
As mentioned above a District can be configured. Each District has 6 slots and 600 power (similar to Rig slots in EVE) in which to place modules. Each module uses power.
- Shield Relay (100 power): Must be destroyed by enemy to bring down District shields.
- Skyfire Battery (200 power): Fires on the enemy Warbarge.
- Defense Grid (300 power): Reinforces the District for 8 hours every day. (This module is for Corps who donGÇÖt have coverage during certain timezones. It ensures they cannot be attacked during that 8 hour window)
There are basically 7 combinations:
- Defense Grid (x2)
- Defense Grid + Skyfire Battery +Shield Relay
- Defense Grid + Shield Relay (x2)
- Skyfire Battery (x3)
- Skyfire Battery (x2) + Shield Relay (x2)
- Skyfire Battery + Shield Relay (x4)
- Shield Relay (x6)
Each combination offers a corp different things; 2x Defense Grids limit attacks to a single timezone, 3x Skyfire batteries will force enemy Warbarges out of orbit in 3 hours, and 6x Shield Relays offer a large buffer your enemy must overcome to unshield your district (which stops passive ISK / production).
By default each District has 1x Shield Relay and 1x Skyfire battery. The modules above are in addition to these.
Clone Pricing
Clones cost ISK. Attackers and Defenders can buy more clones at any time in packs of 100. For an attacker 100 clones is 12,500,000 ISK. For a defender 100 clones is 7,500,000 ISK. When a clone is destroyed in battle it is worth 50,000 ISK to the victor in biomass payout. Attackers get a discount when initiating an attack (1000 clones for 100,000,000 ISK).

This idea does need to fed into every section, and it needs to be bumbed and talked about every day until we get it. its an excellent idea. But the creator should get his own likes and popularity for this. It doesn't mean much, but I like my 740 likes. I earned them and I usually pay attention to people who have a high likes total more then those who have under 100 or 200. |

Give Smith my regards.
That said, I believe CCP is going to implement something similar (probably in a couple months).
Good ideas, nonetheless. |

this is the original forum post
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=89930&find=unread
honestly I think this is the most comprehensive suggestion i have seen and i just want people to read it respond and make it a hot thread I take no credit that's why I used a quote not cut and paste I am not farming for likes nor do i care about likes I want what every one of us want and that is for Dust 514 to be a complete game with lots of options before it is to late and dies before it even gets off the ground |
