Why doesn't Planetary Conquest work in null sec to? Seems like a way to actually make Dust mean something to null sec alliances.

We are starting with low security space while we build out this feature. Going straight to null security with an untested feature risked breaking null sec sov with a broken feature. All that would do is make null sec entities hate DUST.

In other words, we still plan to go to null sec.

I'm sure DUST will be part of null someday, but it'd probably require a revamp of the whole sov system to keep it from totally breaking the game. That's not to say the sov system couldn't use a good overhaul, but it ain't coming in Odyssey.

Looks like you are starting VERY slowly & just doing it in 1 Winmatar system ( ps: the news link is here Thukker Tribe invites cloned mercenaries to police Molden Heath )
I suspect a few live events might get started here [there be dragons]

Research lab district bonus:

A decrease in manufacturing time at Player Owned Starbases (POSes)
10% per district owned to a maximum of 4 districts or 40%


Can this be clarified please is that actually meant to be 10% reduction to science job completion, with it being a research lab? Or does this really mean super duper fast equipment assembly arrays...

Is the kicking from corp timer still there because of technical reasons, or did capsuleers become unionised?
Seems silly that there is this distinction.

So, the bonuses seem... weak.

If you can organize a corporation to run towers in lowsec, defend them, use them for production and have sufficient numbers to also work with a Dust Squad to take control of the planets then why wouldn't your corp join a nullsec alliance that holds sov and get a 25% fuel bonus instead of a possible 20% bonus that's subject to the untested Planetary Conquest feature.

Why would you change the corporate system to let someone with roles drop Corp and leave without delay but then intentionally leave it so that a Corp cannot kick someone straight away too?

I think these things should be equal because there are pros and cons for having a cooldown timer [or not] for both parties depending on their play styles.

The one issue I have with planetary conquest right now is that with it being in only one specific region only certain entities (the ones who happen to be close to it) can care about it at all. I hope as you expand it the regions will be distributed around the galactic core rather than expanding out from this one point.

About having to be docked to drop or be kicked from a corporation:

I understand that its to prevent the following: A corp war decs another. The first corp gets into a fight with the other. As soon as one member is called primary that member is kicked from corp. Result: everyone on the other side gets CONCORDed.

Is this still an issue with the new crimewatch? If people have their safety set to green or yellow then they cannot get CONCORDed, right? Even if a wartarget stops being a wartarget right in the middle of being shot?

So, could the docking requirement be rolled back? I know many corps who deal with AWOXers would like to be able to kick anyone, anytime.

Other ideas about when a you could kick a member.

If the member is not docked, the "Kick" order remains pending and is automatically executed upon docking.
Make it so any session change is sufficient. Jumping is sufficient to trigger a pending kick order.
Make it so leaving grid is sufficient to trigger the pending kick order.

So we removed this requirement from DUST... and EVE. Because why not.


No, you didn't, I just tested it.

My alt, who was director, still has a 24h stasis period.
