Topic: Gamma Islands - Make lots of them pls
So, I was thinking about the upcoming stuff, and came to the conclusion that more would be better in terms of Gamma Islands. Many Corps / Alliances don't want to live right next door to an enemy, as it makes doing Indy / PvE VERY difficult. With lots of Islands, Alliances would naturally spread out, which would somewhat alleviate that problem.
So every Alliance would have their own Island, and a buffer around it, why would anyone fight?
Firstly, all Islands should not be equal (In terms of resources, etc), if your Island is not that great, you can consider taking a better one, using your current spot to build up your forces ready to invade your enemies home island and take it from them.
A super rare resource or multiple resources used to build PBS / New Bigger Robots. Even the best Island should not contain enough of this resource for significant production. So to get this resource you have two options 1) Trade for it or 2) Get your PBS Extractors on other Islands, most likely the buffer Islands between you and an enemy. Of course your enemy wants to do the same, so they will drive conflict between the two. Maybe to assist you, you make a deal with a smaller corp looking for somewhere to live. You offer them this buffer island and assistance with production, maybe build them some of these new bigger robots that they probably couldn't get on their own. In exchange they can help you defend your extractors, letting you know when enemies arrive, etc. But equally, because there are a lot of Islands and some are less desirable, if that small corp wants to go it alone, they can do it on one of those Islands, and gradually start the process of building themselves up, getting some extractors on other Islands and pushing other small corps off. Once they've done that they can start thinking about hitting an enemy on their home Island, and taking it for themselves.
Just some late night brainwaves. Comments / Criticism welcome.
