To be honest even if the OP had been advised by his alliance in a timely and super-efficient manner that a particular corp would become a war target once 24 hours elapsed ... spotting these potential war targets in the masses milling around Jita dock BEFORE they went red in overview was going to be nearly impossible.

That's why you don't hang around Jita when you're about to go to war.

You overestimate their skill. I see them making rookie mistakes on a regular basis almost constantly. All you gotta do is plan a sneak attack on them - get a fleet in instalock ships and all undock at once after they attack the bait ship. Might not get em all but will easily get one or two, and what they would lose out of that is probably more hull value than the entire cost of the ships going against them.

Do that on a regular basis and they will think twice about attacking someone who looks vulnerable. They shot any war target that moves because nobody stands up to them. It's a piece of cake really. All it takes is a bit of teamwork.



Lol you claiming that Test can outskill and outthink high sec mercenaries? I do not even remember if ever you guys killed a single of our ships...

Second.. we would like NOTHIGN more than wartargets that fight back!! Or you think we find fun on killing whales strained in the beach? We kill those only pass time and make some money.. but we look for targets that fight back

You cant join a corp while in space, you have to dock to accept the final part of the application.

You can accept the invitation while in space. Find a potential war target, approach to optimal range, lock target, accept invitation to corp, wt immediately turns red, and then shoot. Not very sporting, and it may be considered an exploit, but the mechanics do currently allow it.
