Was talking on IRC with everyone, about the PC battles, and districts and things, when the Idea hit me. Multi corp battles. Yes, yes, we technicly have this now. But not the way I mean.
In planetary conquest you have an attacker and a defender. Each fighting to take the district for their corp. Right now this is limited to two corps fighting over it, and I understand this from a mechanics standpoint. However the question is why? Why limit the engagement to two sides. In EVE we have seen three or four factions attacking the same area. In the real world we have seen three four or even five groups fighting over the same place. Why not in dust?
I understand that doing this in the system will not be easy, or quick in coming but the idea should be considered. The defender will be the defender, they hold the district, it's theirs to defend, but why have only one attacker.
Here's how I see it breaking down. A district is attacked, during the first several hours other corps can launch their own attacks as well. This would cause a multi-sided fight, let's say the corp battle player count was increased to 40, if two corps are fighting both sides get 20, three each side gets 13 four corps 10 and so on. In the battle each side would be out for themselves mechanicly. So everyone that was not on their team would be marked in red and be hostile. Points would either be red indicating someone else had it or blue indicating you did. Now yes this would make defending a district slightly easier, as the attackers would need to kill the defenders and the other attackers, however the defenders would not have it all that easy as the would be heavily outnumbered.
This is a very rough outline of a thought, but what do you think? |

It would be very awesome to have but there would have to be a limit for the number of sides in a battle. Also, the defender should be able to call for reinforcements. |

In 40 way fight, one person would have to represent each of them. That means the lone defender would have to fight thirty-nine attackers by himself. That guy would not have a ghost of a chance. The only way to have a 40 sided battle would be to increase the player count, which will take some time to do. |

well, it would be 39 on 1 for everyone, not just the defender, it would be a rather nasty fight. |
