Here's some feedback. This line from the early part of the post confused the hell out of me. Maybe because it was a typo, maybe because Iceland is Bizzaro world, or maybe because I am not involved in PC and its all going over my head.
"Right now 90% of battles are started because of a clone move rather than a clone starter package."
"People WANT to fight, even if it means using clone starter packs with which they end up losing money."
Is the first sentence messed up, or is 10% starter pack usage way higher than normal and therefore this fact supports the second sentence? |

Is the first sentence messed up, or is 10% starter pack usage way higher than normal and therefore this fact supports the second sentence? It relates more to the decline in number of battles. This is why I showed the graph with the number of clone moves. The number of times clones are moved to start a battle has remained relatively consistent while the number of battles taking place has gone down and so the number of battles being started with clone starter packs has gone down with it. That make sense?
Yes, that clarifies your logic. I was confused because the second sentence seemed to imply that clone-pack usage for starting battles was still high, when the other information clearly showed it was decreasing in favor of clone moves. |

Remove changes in attrition for clone jumping and allow clones on districts owned by other corporations to be sold to other corporations with a slight penalty.
ex. Hellstorm wants to attack some awesome corp 10 jumps away. Normally, with research facilities the cost for jumping is awful and not worth it. Hellstorm has an ally 13 jumps away. Hellstorm is able to purchase 100 clones from this corp, suffers a 5% penalty, and make the 3 jumps to the target at normal attrition rates.
That's interesting, although that's not a reason to leave attrition as it is. As someone else mentioned, loosening attrition was probably a planned step in preparation of new regions. |
