We are going ahead with a new method for PC "Keep what you Kill", does that mean a corp might use APEX's and go down fighting?

It might well also mean that a corp that knows it's at an overwhelming advantage will use APEX to deny the opponent any kind of reward.

Or alternatively downgrading to BPO kit when you know you're in for a tough match and choosing to throw it in such a way that doesn't hurt so much financially would likely be extremely demoralising. If you were going to lose while fielding proto, fighting in lower tier stuff is going to hurt.

Tangentially related - Would a similar system (but to a lower drop %) come to FW? The salvage system there is rather poor at the moment.

I would care. CPM0 was okay but CCP didn't do too good a job of picking people who stuck with it.

If you'll entertain a silly analogy for a moment, compare it to politics. Politicians are almost never well-liked, but nobody in their right minds would simply say "**** it, get em out of here" just for that reason. They may not always do their jobs well, they may even do them poorly, but something is almost always better than nothing.

And to assume that Rattati does all he does on his own is short-sighted. He's even gone on record saying that he is extremely glad that the CPM exists and that it's been a great help to him. Would you deprive the president of his cabinet?

What about some Concordian agreement, where we rank corporations and they can't attack lower tiered corps, if they are high tier.

and immediately alt corps spring up to exploit.

carry on

Isk efficient or not, beat downs are bad for troop morale and bad for reputation. Ego plays a big part in end-game play; bruised egos and low morale can kill a corp.

I know who I'm voting for.

@Dunc with any recording try to cut out the bits you want to keep as quick as possible. Longer you let it sit the more likely it will just be deleted. Atleast label the vids/clips.
My montages
I usually go through all the clips I've edited out of games, toss them into a folder.
Find a song and listen to it a few times
Watch the clips u have
I find the clip I want to start it then the clip i want to end it.
Piece in the middle.
Save constantly
Save constantly
Remember to save
Watch the clips as you listen to the music to make sure it goes with it
An awesome moment is awesome
But an awesome moment that has background music that you worked on the timing so it hits just right is just XD
Variety is nice, clips that transition well are good to keep the flow going, sprees sprinkled in always are nice. Dead moments that kill the pace should be avoided

5-7 minutes seems to be peoples attention span when it comes to vids on YouTube. Two 6 minute vids is better than one 12 min vid.
I prolly do stuff backwards but it works for me. Goodlucko

Edit:
When u start something finish it
The longer you wait
The longer it'll take

re: PC

If we're looking at ways of not allowing the biggest corps to steam-roller everything else, then why not introduce some sort of penalties based on the number of districts you own. Then over-extension and / or lots of real-estate means your costs can increase exponentially.

@Duncan
That mechanic will just spawn up shell corps that hold the districts. You can't tie any sort of cap to a corp IMO or it will just make people create alt corps.

Does PC have to be skirmish?
If not, how about having a ambush type and a domination type.
Can reduce the number of people needed.
have different wait times between being attacked and battle time.
Less bloody lag
Easier for groups to try out.
And this could be what raides help with and I just zoned out. If so my bad lol.

Raids could be Dom and Raid Reprisals could be Ambush!

Don't forget Attrition!

Suddenly alt corps.

That goes for the suggestion of mu ranking corps as well.



Also, looking at all these raiding suggestions again - have we found a reason for people to want to hold districts yet?

District Infrastructure A passively generates/distributes warbarge components, Infrastructure B passively generates fleet components, Infrastructure C passively generates Resource X, and so on. Holding a district and successfully defending it against raids is by far the fastest way to acquire resources. A top-tier PC corp will reach max fleet potential far faster than anyone else; its ships will be better equipped, and its mercs better paid. Even the most successful of Raider Fleets will advance in level at a slower rate than that of an active landholding corp.

Where is this information, specifically?

Don't forget Attrition!

What's Attrition?

It is like Dom, but the objective moves around periodically. "Spam heavies on the letter" won't work in Attrition.
