I think that the ambush scenario for multiple attacks within X hours is the best solutions and makes the most sense RP wise as well.
- They arent fighting over the district so doing skirmish wouldnt make sense - Its two armies running into each other on the way to their target - It would reduce the amount of clones that an attacker has that will get to the district - It favors the corp that moves clones from a district rather than the one that buys a pack - It adds some variety to PC matches
I agree that the system proposed is broken and would help to ruin the game. Even if the tactic makes little money for the defender corp it will eventually burn them out due to the sheer effort needed to keep at it and everyone else will be frustrated enough that they wont bother with PC. Everybody loses. |

They would have to kill at least one clone or the system will have the auto-battle right after since there will still be 100 left. |

MCC destruction kills all the clones, after the fight. MCC distruction is 150 clone loss. However MCC destruction clone loss is not paid out I believe to the defender. |

Nope, because the attackers (the alt corp) are the ones losing, and thus losing those 100 clones. |

Edit: 2-Ton, I'm pretty sure it does. 150 clones are always "killed" (in this case it's only 100), so you will always get ISK for 150 clones (100 in this case).
I don't know I always thought it only counted clones killed on the ground not MMC distruction clone deaths. Maybe the simple answer here is to make it so the defender does not get clone payout for MMC clone kills if that is not the case.
can we get a confirm on this either way? |

I believe that if your the defender and you blow up the enemy attacker MCC with no clones killed on the attacker side you dont get any biomass reward. can someone confirm? if you don't that makes it a lot more tedious to alt corp yourself as then every battle you need players to suicide 100 clones every 2 days.
I was attacking, I've never had a an attacking team no show so I cannot confirm if it works both ways. |

I have checked!!
Lose the attack
If the attacker loses the battle several things happen:
The Minimum clone loss is taken into account. If there are any remaining clones: 50% of them are given to the defender. 50% are destroyed. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Planetary_Conquest#Minimum_clone_loss
so you will get 0 ISK. as the minimum is already 150 and as you only brought 100 you get no clones. Also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5QGkOGZubQ :) |

You get no clones, but it doesn't say anything about ISK.
The winning team always get ISK for 150 clones. With the new pack of only 100 clones, the winning team will get ISK for 100 clones, if the other team is using one of these packs. |

Ah, I stand corrected. I blame it being early in the morning and no coffee.
I dont think whether its profitable or not to self-attack will make much difference. If a corp is being run out of PC and wants to stay then they will use every bit of ISK that they have to self-attack until either they are broke or their enemy leaves in utter frustration.
CCP is relying on PC to be a major factor in the viability of this game moving forward. In a worst case scenario, this new mechanic will make PC such an annoyance that nobody will want to bother with it. |

Edited with new info. you will get 15 mil isk and thats stupid. The Genovolution reward should probably be changed to clones killed in the field not in the MCC or remove it entirely, why is Geno paying you for dead clones anyway?
I do like IWS attacker vs attacker option as well. some sort of ambush map or just whoever sends the most clones.
But changes are def needed for this new PC update.
It makes sense that Geno would give favor to the highest clone delivery. |

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

How can they reprocess the goo when the MCC is vaporized? |

Sometimes you like em, sometimes you hate..
but damn do I like you number crunchers today!
This could potentially have become a huuuuge problem, and ccp may have even stepped in and took tons of isk from those abusing it as such.. so if you were thinking of already doing this, be glad it was put out publicly now |
