Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Yep that is right another post about war mechanics, sorry.

As I see it the fundamental problem with the current war system, is that some people are sick of being bullied and other people are sick of the people that they are bullying whining about it. Lets be realistic most wars are big guy declares war on little guy.

In Eve that means little guy gets the snot kicked out of them for a week by big guy. While it is hardly fair Eve is a dangerous place.

But at the same time Eve needs to be an enjoyable place for every one, and lets face it with out all the little guys paying to play Eve....i doubt eve would be here any more.

Lets look at it in terms of the real world. If Russia was to declare war on lets say.... Jamaica, do you think that the UN or any of the other super powers would just let it happen? There's Jamaica minding its own business, producing Rastafarian's and whatever else it is that they produce, and here comes Russia having a dull day and looking to have some fun.

So why dose CONCORD allow this to happen?

And more importantly what is the solution.

My idea is still not fully formed but I need to get it out here before it leaks out and i lose it forever.

My idea is is not about changing who can war dec who, but changing where the resulting pvp can take place. Here it is:

1. Any one can war dec any one. Yay no change there.

2. With two exception pvp can only take place in low sec or null sec

3. First exception is that pvp can take place within "X" number of jumps from a high sec pos. this happens regardless of what happens in the second exception. and just to keep things fair this area is not marked in any way.

4. Second exception is both can agree that pvp can take place anywhere. If one dose not agree the only place in high sec that pvp can take place is the area defined in #3

The big flaw I see in this is it that it keeps people from war decking the guys that are can flipping, ninja salvaging, or just generally griefing you in high sec.

Again this idea is not full flushed out yet and needs some tweaks.
