Timer countdown scaled on how many people are in the plex, up to 50% faster.
10% per person with a cap at 50, so it would take 6 people to have the 50% timer, essentially 2 seconds on the timer for every second passed.



corporation owned FW dead space pockets that are about as tough as a level 4 mission, generate lp per hour for the holding corp, and give a large reward if killed (not greater than the cost to construct)

This idea looks really familiar to me for some reason ...

Also, I see one change; what is the second? Right now the biggest broken thing is all the FW farmers who are earning LP with almost zero risk. Even if their ships get blown up, they usually cost less than a million isk fitted only with guns and warp core stabilizers.

Two suggestions from the Talwar blob to encourage the blob. -1 for both.

Getting bored sitting in a small plex with your 20 man Talwar blob, while everyone blue balls you and one enemy undoes your work running the Novice?

seeing as minmatar has 2 systems left, there is nothing to plex. This change helps you more since you actually have plexes you can enter.

lol though the current system is not perfect. I agree that bonuses to more people in one site is not an improvement.

I would say a 25% reduction to all timers except large would be a good change.

You are looking at this from a purely farming perspective. I use plexes to get pew. The longer they stay up the more likely that is to happen. Thanks for your concern, but I'll pass.
