Corporation Clash
To improve the cooperative combat capability of Capsuleer Corporations, CONCORD has established the Corporation Warfare Simulation System at all Stations.
Only Corporation management members with relevant authorization can initiate/accept/refuse a Clash.
After the opponent accepts it, members of both sides can enter the battlefield from Stations, Personal Citadels, and Corporation Citadels at the decided time.
Each side has a Base Station and two Shield Defense Arrays on the battlefield. The only way to attack the Base is to destroy both Shield Defense Arrays.
Destroy the opponent's Base Station to win.
If neither Base is destroyed at the end of the battle, the side with a higher Battlefield Score wins.
The Battlefield Score is determined by the damage taken by the opponent's Base and Shield Defense Arrays, and the value of the lost Ships.
Notes
There will be a 4-week test period after the release to test its stability, and to make timely adjustments. Once the test is over, Clash data during the test will be deleted.
All Capsuleers who have participated in Corporation Clash will get a lucky draw attempt for a chance to get the 30-day Omega Duo Bundle. The lucky draw will take place after the test and the winners will be announced.
