if thats the case hamma they need to rotate warp gates every week to and make it a 3 or 6 week event not 5 weeks so everyone has 1 or 2 weeks at each warpgate

A faction with a 3% global population lead has troops free after the normal stalemate on Indar to dominate on Esamir and Amerish.

3 points per hex, per hour. That's a lot of accumulating XP.
I was very suprised that holding a hex for 2 hours is as rewarding as capturing a major base.

Here are some ideas to reward successful outcomes in conflict:

1pt per hex, 3pts per outpost, 5pts per base when successfully defending a facility.
To qualify : receive 1pt immediately when capture timer goes back over 50%.
Received full bonus when capture timer reaches 100% after went below 50%.

Same point awards for capturing a base. 1pt for capture timer going past 50%. 1/3/5 for successful capture.

1pt per major facility linked to warpgate. per hour. only DURING PRIME TIME (6pm to 11pm Mon-Thur, 4pm-10pm Sat/Sun). Nothing for other hexes.
Fridays are a night off.

When server populations are over a certain threshold during prime time a single continent is nominated for 'battle focus'. All awards on that continent are doubled.

Now - empires that fight and attack and challenge gain points,
Empires that over the long term hang on to their territory edge forward.

Factions that respond rapidly and decisively can either steal points at 50% capture before enemy response : or prevent the enemy gaining ground.

Considering they tried to set up the Alerts as contribution-based and failed miserably, this deal will most likely be the same way. Might as well hop on to your alt if your primary faction loses.

So NC is losing on every server if I understood this system right?

well Ceres seems quite balanced atleast

Is this like one time only event or will we get more of these in the future?

There was, and he was a pain for one reason. He'd be flying around or doing whatever...while his alt account was sitting in an NC ScatMAX in the cc of whatever base I'm trying to ninja. Just sitting there....waiting.

It was a enough to make ya cert CE.

For a normal person and by that I mean someone new or someone who doesn't have a strong faction loyalty the lesson to be learned is that you should play TR because it is the best.

Thus increasing the population imbalance.

I fear that low population incentives %age won't work at this stage, the trend is already set.

Roll on the inter-continental lattice!
