Antibus stated that sector conquest was only for corp members, but what if someone who joins a corp but chooses sector conquest as solo? He did state that sector conquest was technically available for solo combat.
Antibus, what will happen to players who choose sector conquest without a squad?
you can join conquest with no squad, just have to be in corp
If you’re part of the corporation, you can go and fight solo, should you win - you’ll bring influence points to your corp.
However, only CEO can claim a location for your corp.
This begs the squad question. If a corp pilot launches solo, will it be a 1v1 match? If it’s a four man squad, will it be a 4v4 match? How could a corp get an 8v8 tournament style match?
You may be matched with everyone. You can get there solo, and get matched with squads.
Why? This is a corporate content and it is presumed that you are willing to do something in cooperation with other members of your corp there. If you don’t want to - ok, you can still get in fight, but don’t be surprised when you see a squad in other team.
The closer we get to this, the more convinced I am what you should be doing is giving us the old matchmaking back. It had everything you tout here and, best of all, it still let players pick their own endgame. Want to stay in T3? No problem! Lots of Corps fly T3!
Is it just a pride thing at this point? A refusal to admit you were wrong?
It doesnt have to be that bad…
It depends on, if we get Synergy/Credits in those battles…
If we get it, I could Imagine that SQ gets swarmed by T2+ ships. That might even the chances to win on both sides out, since even T5-Squads cant be everywhere.
I wonder: Will there be ANY kind of matchmaking? Will there be any kind of balance in terms of Tiers (given that enough players are in the pool)?
I have a question regarding squads in SQ: Will be possible to make squad with someone who’s in a Corporation allied with a diferent faction? Let’s say I’m with the Empire, but want to fly with a friend of mine that’s in a Corp that fights for Jericho, will be possible for us to participate as a squad in the new SQ or not? I guess not, but I want to ask anyway.
That’s a good question. From what they told us until now, it would be logical that this shouldn’t work.
And it will not, different faction player wont be able to queue together in sc. Players from different corps within same faction can
Heh, i will have to find a good corp than, if some real sector conquest will be implemented… Love a good Guild vs Guild fight :3
The HBlaster modifications are fine, but i dont understand exactly the pos cannon:
“Initial and final spread is now 2 times weaker”
So it will spread more or less?

Less spread, at least the first shot. That’s what I saw when using the weapon.
I wonder if SQ would work in a 1v1v1 situation for all 3 faction in some areas. Hmmm…

No, that will be impossible. You won’t be able to join the battle. This is a Sector Conqest where three fractions are fighting each other for dominance, and not a ‘help-your-friend-who-is-an-enemy-game’.
Patchnotes are on the way.
only corps can play sector conquest, but idk if they can switch allegiance
They can, but all influence points will be lost.
