One thing many people seem to be missing here is that by making a structure the goal of wardecs it COMPLETELY removes the ability to wage a guerilla-style warfare in empire, because the defender can just force the attackers to fight a pitched battle at the structure.

Not to mention that this also makes it almost impossible to fight a war against larger corporations (because in a pitched battle the blob almost always wins).

From that article:
Quote:
It's also pretty bizarre that no matter how militarily powerful a corporation or alliance is, it can't physically win a war declared against it. There is simply no system in place to let the defender win the war.


Wel duh! That's how war works. The Americans seem to make it their country's duty over the last decade to prove to the world that overpowering military might does not equal guaranteed victory.

And 'winning' a war is a concept that resides heavily in meta-gaming territory. If you pummeled the few alts into no longer logging in, then you already achieved the main goal of just keeping your members safe. Of course it's annoying if they remain a lingering threat. But if a corporation can't deal with that because all members are wandering around willy-nilly, then that corp deserves to get picked apart like a flock of domestic chickens clucking about in the wild.


very easelly fixed. Remove ability to doc in stations (maybe even for both parties or just the war decker). Maybe even force to must have a POS runing during war in high sec. You still can wage war and will be forced to defend at times, also still can do militia warfare and both parties have fun. Unlike one sided war that does bores everyone.
This brings very interesting events to the game. Find the wardecker pos and put it into reinforce. Not to mention wardecker operating POS guns and many other interesting aspects into eve. This will inject LIFE back into high sec war dec. SOLVED!!
CCP implement something like this!

Whats more, the size or capabilities of the war decked alliance entity may influence the size and cost of the POS of the war decker. Going vs a weak entity may mean that a small pos is sufficent but going vs a larger entity, may require a death star.
