Attack my own district for 30 mil with alt corporation.
Win battle, take half the clones from the "enemy" side and sell them.
Stay safe for two days because no one can attack me, continue to sell clones being auto-generated, break even.
Attack my district again, continue to stay safe.
Am I wrong here? |

Am I wrong here? Min 150 clone loss so the defending district wouldn't get any clones from an alt gen pack attack. The district also stays under attack for 24 to 48 hours in which clones can't be moved in or out. Also, after the gen pack attack loses the district become attackable by anyone. There isn't a restriction on who can attack after a failed attack the timer will just be set to 47 hours later if you were to attack right after the failed gen pack. In theory you could self attack to lock down a production facility, but you wouldn't be able to do much else with it. At best you would break even.
Right, but even if it was a small loss it wouldn't really deter anyone from doing it. It's not as if PC is the only income source.
The problem I see is monopolization. The only thing keeping someone from claiming the entirety of PC right now is the fact that no one can conceivably cover every single timer with their A Team. Even with an alliance, there are limits.
By exploiting this, if someone wanted to do it you could effectively control the entirety of MH by locking out undesirable timers. |

Maybe introduce some kind of lottery system where all bids to attack a locked district are counted for the first few hours and then the winner selected at random. It would still be possible to lock via Zerging bids in alt corps but is far less reliable.
Anyone caught locking is liable to bring wrath down upon their heads anyways.
Fear makes districts delicious, I hear.
Im not a fan of lotteries.
I say we put Ambush mode to use and have to actually fight over conflicting attack rights. Of course, then you can (and will) effectively have a double-defense... but, hell, they are paying for the clones then at least so it's still better than the current situation. It also conveniently uses 50 clones out of the current 150 starter pack. |

I would be alright with IWS's suggestion, though I am still partial to an Ambush Thunderdome.
Either way, a fix needs to be put in before these changes go live. This can and will be exploited unless everybody suddenly decides to operate on the "honor system". And this is New Eden, so.... we don't. |

Geno is paying for "biomass".
Basically they reprocess your corpse into goo and use it to make..... stuff. |

Because it's not vaporized. It explodes. |
