EVE General Discussion

Hey, maybe CCP can make the Drifters wage war on all the NPC corps and attack their member pod pilots much like war decs. So if you want to avoid the slew of nasty NPCs attacking at every gate, you leave the NPC corp for a player corp that has neutral standings to the Drifters.

Why does it fall on CCP to implement a features to drive players out of player corps, rather than players doing things to attract players into their organizations?

A lot of the criticism of why people don't join player corps shared in this thread come down to players having to jump through arguably unreasonable hurdles to join, their privacy compromised, how they play compromised (Stay docked, cease all activity during war), and exposing themselves to even more potential for griefplay to name some of the ones that come up repeatedly. All of these are the result of player/community instituted actions, behaviors, and policies.

It seems that other players drive players away from player run organizations, particularly in High Sec. Is it that the NPC corps are the problem, or is it that the player corp landscape has been made so unattractive by the players?

CCP implements tools to alleviate some of the more glaring things, having an option for concord intervention in intercorp aggression, implementing more robust networking tools for players in the form of social corps; things that will directly increase the likelihood of being able to build some measure of the trust required to join a player corp and it is viewed as the end of days.

Why would or should they do anything with NPC corps to absolve the players of their culpability in the environment they themselves created? And when they do step in to address the things we are doing that are keeping players out of our own corps, we condemn the actions. Classic damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.

Guess that didn't make the cut for the This is Eve trailer.

Of course, if the FC logged you could have taken over as FC and fought the other gang if you wanted to. Instead of waiting for someone else to make fun for you, sometimes you have to take initiative and make your own fun.

To do that ofcource, you need to have some knowledge on how to tactically lead a group of people in EVE. Some people are natural leaders and can think of the right ship to target in a large fight by instinct. Others just draw a blank and shoot random stuff. FC-ing isn't something everyone can just do (reasons can be skill, leadership quality, ability to speak a certain language clearly over comms, finding the right people who want to follow you and many more).

Hello and before I continue My main is Happily in the best corp in New Eden, The Scope

Reason may be...

-The Scope is a awesome mixed up community of peeps that may be a little too individualistic for corps mechanics

-They get to avoid griefer wardecs

- most corps go dead once their driving force is gone and then your stuck in a dead end corp but out of a skewed sense of loyalty you have stayed

-you can tell any boss in the chat to go *beep* themselves without consequence

-it make opposing mindset get to know each other

- they may be finding the peeps to get behind their own crazy idea

- peeps tend to be funnier and more real in scope chat

Scope Corp - Best Corp

return to us my children make the Leaders earn your loyalty

find a decent player corp? sounds like you just join crappy corps

Just now CCP are looking at their bottom line and foresee ugly things going on with it unless the game returns to growth. Yet their plan consists of doing more of the same, rather than develop areas of the game which ahve been unattended and unexploited since ever.

PvE and avatars, pick your choice. More PvP is not going to keep this old lady afloat, no matter how less noob-hostile you make it. The time for noob friendliness was when it was growing 4 years ago, not now when noobs have become a rare sighting and CCP advertises expansions with "resub now"...

Sounds like a good reason not to go to nul then. Being told what you can and can't do in a video game by the players is not a very inviting way of getting people to come join you.

He said he docked in an NPC station. Odds are if it was an official operation, it wouldn't be in NPC space and the FC wouldn't abandon his fleet in an NPC null station. In my experience, anyone can take out a roam as long as it doesn't conflict with alliance ops, however you wouldn't get SRP unless it was an official operation by an official FC.

So how do you learn to FC? Get some people together in cheap ships, let them know they might die and go on a roam. Usually there are plenty of bored people willing to lose a frigate or destroyer. If you die, oh well it's not like you lost much but you gain experience. After you run enough fleets and experience you will start winning more, people will trust you, and you can then take out more expensive stuff.
