I think we should let the big FW alliances encourage fights in the key systems of their strategies.

As of this moment, taking Minmatar Militia as example, only TLF is rewarding us for our militia effort, without any strategical thinking (of course, it is NPC).

what I suggest is letting the corps and alliances set offensive or defensive bounties on systems.

Could be ISK or LP, don't know wich is better.

Whenever you decontest a plex in a system, you take 0.7% (or wichever % is adapted) of the remaining defensive bounty.
Whenever you contest a plex in a system, you take 0.7% (or whichever % is adapted) of the remaining offensive bounty.

Let's take two exemples.

Some alliance don't wan't to lose their home system. they set a defensive bounty of 1 000 000 000 ISK on it. every time a friendly militia decontest a plex in it, he gains 0.7% of the remaining bounty, here 7 000 000 ISK.

Some alliance really want to take a system. They set an offensive bounty of 100 000 000 000 ISK (wich is a lot. But that's the beauty of examples, i can do stupid things). Every time friendly militia take a plex in it, he takes 0.7% of the remaining bounty, here 700 000 000 ISK.


This idea will allow big FW alliances to have a way to interract directly with the general strategy of their militia.

Two things to consider :

- ISK or LP ? I may think it will be better with LP, but it could hit hard the losing sides of FW ( if you are Tier 1 vs Tier 4, you cannot compete) . Don't know.

- It could become ugly if a lot of ISK is spend in it. I really don't know if it is a problem, but to mitigate that, we could :
- Decreasing bounty over time : this way even if you spent a ridiculous amount of money in a system, one week later it is gone.
- Canceling bounties when system is lost, or switching (defensive bounty becomes offensive bounty)
- Set a limit to ISK gained per plex size.
- Tax bounties.

LP bounties sound interesting, but not for system capture
