I would like to see a ressource colection % based on the actual players base of the servers ur playing on and on the actual contestations of each regions if a regions take like 6 hours to cap and almost 20000 people die to get it so the % of the ressrouce colection will be higher and if the based as been taken with no contestation the ressource collection % will be very low !
So big Figth Big chalenge = Big reward No figth No chanlenge = almost no reward thats can be a idea to fix bankroll silly tactics from people who already talk about been rich in Low pop servers ! Dont get me wrong i dont want to punish anyones in any way i want to fix a issue thats can be a unfair and silly for those who actually play figth and die for lands and those who try to exploits empty regions ! so I would like people wo understand this ans also put up some more idea to balanced thing to encourage players to figth big battle or full population servers or regions ! Lets say a servers is low population so the figth thats take place in a regions like lets say 50 vs 50 vs 50 will reward players as the same as servers who have 666 vs 666 vs 666 but those who try to cap empty regions with NO contestation will only get a fractions of the ressources normally offers ! So thats way people will want in order to suceed and figth to figth in the same regions of the continents So when the population cap is low the IN GAME MISSION SYSTHEM give a mission for all 3 empire to capture a certain regions and only this one or FEW regions will allow players to harverst a decent amount of ressource and allow them to get awesome reward ! this will prevent regions farming and FREE ressources farming ! |

Resource gain is split between things like actively fighting (i.e. more active fights with more going on will always get you more resources) as well as dividends from the territory your empire owns. So, this sort of takes care of itself! In a big fight, you'll get large rewards - win or lose, once the dust settles the empire that wins will continue to get base resources for that region, but the folks that participated in the battle will be getting a lot more up front.

Is the resource gain from fighting limited to the resource type offered by the territory being contested or are all resources awarded? |

So i mean no contestation will take a way to much time to cap the regions so that will not worth it so players will be concentrate mostly on regions thats actual figth take place ? |

And if fighting increases resource rewards then no population => no fighting => no resources. With those mechanics I think it could balance itself naturally. |

I like where this is going. Helps address a multitude of issues elegantly and simply. Seems to me the only way to make resources matter but not completely make it one-sided. Sounds like those fighting would need to still be efficient with resources and manage them appropriately but they wont' be gimped.
This concept of "region" is new, which I expect is a set of territories. How many regions per continent? Is it one-facility-per-region, sort of like little capitals? Since a given resource means different things for empires it makes sense that you would bundle the resources together into regions for the purpose of defining proximity and participation-based rewards. Sort of like the old PS1 experience system and capture system. More people around and fighting = more xp for the capture/resecure. I always liked that concept, it scaled nicely and made those hard fought bases worth more. Awarding resources over time for participation in such battles makes sense too, otherwise we'd exhaust our supply and the battle would wind down to a lot of footzerging.

Yes, would love a definition of Regions... following Malorn's assumption, it is more than a Hex and less than a Continent
Are resource nodes based on a per hex basis? If this is the case, then fighting on and holding all the hexes of a certain region would perhaps provide a few different types of resources and plenty of resources in general. An army assaulting this region might be making just enough resources from gameplay bonuses to keep pulling tanks if they are needed, but would have to be careful to balance thier K/D etc... As they gain a foothold and eventually take more hexes in that region, they will start to gain resources faster through the addition of the automatic region generation bonus. One thing i don't understand is... how do you gain resources while you are off-line then? I thought that was part of the system? |

but each regions are going to have many differents zize in the HEx counts ! But the topic is more about having Empty Hex with no populations hard to cap and rewards less or NULL ! And higby seams to said that the regions where most thing are going on will be the place to be ! So in low populations hours or servers the ressource colections will be proportional of the players count actually figthing in the zone and also based on whats thing going on ! |

No need to nerf the rates of resource accumulation from Hex's owned at different time's of the day (peak vs offpeak)... because it's going to be pretty damn boring sitting in a non-contested area, just so that you can farm resources!
If PS2 is anything like Planetside in terms of off-peak battles (and for the love of god i hope it isn't), then no-one is going to waste their time sitting idly somewhere to collect resources, they will be scouring Auraxis for any action they can! Even if it means ignoring regions of strategic benefit to their empire! |

Either way, I'm excited to hear that players will generally be encouraged to head straight for the biggest fights. While some of the most memorable Planetside experiences are simple last minute hotdrops and drawn-out tower cap scenarios, the massive fights are what is really going to bring in new players in droves. |
