Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So here is the basic idea. Make war Dec price based of the number of people attacking (100k) but with a 10 mill cap.(edit:cap should be 100 mill since curently cost to Dec a Corp is 50 mill and idk what the cap for decing an alliance should be )

Double it for every war Dec you start and double the cap.
Make every war a defending corp receives 25% more for the attacker.
Increase the cost by 10% per week and a redeclration time of one month. So that you can't un Dec and re Dec quickly. With a cap of 100%

So a war made by a 4 man corp vs a Corp with 1 Dec already would cost 500 for the first week then 540 for the second week and so on. And if the first corp that is attacking drops their Dec your cost would lose the 25%.

Yeah but I don't have an idea on fixing that problem

Or make more freinds then enemies. And you would still have the option of leaving your corp and making a new one at no cost or rejoining npc corps. But 8 did notice a typo I made. The cap should be 100 mill not 10.

It's funny how this keeps coming up. Anyone that has been in the merc game long enough knows exactly when, how and why it went bad. The fix is to undo the how part. The why.... I don't see CCP breaking the current pattern.

Until then the current player farming will continue.

what is needed is the attacking group needs to have some assets at risk so they don't have full controll of when and how engagements happen.

We need a reason to have them first though, we dont currently byond convinience or hubris to have a static asset in space.

just a thought more than an actual plan but maybe reducing the cost of wardecs considerably may work if you have to pay per region/system to operate in? in my mind this would keep the hubcampers where they want to be and allow for more focused wars?
Fort example the citadel/jita would cost quite a bit due to traffic whilst I dunno, verge vendor may be half of that?
Of course I don't see ccp even comtemplating this as insurance and bounties/killrights still look broken and yet are working as intended.. just my 5 cents.

Currently there are groups willing and able to pay billions of ISK every week to have war decs and this serves to prove that nothing you can do from the ISK side will have any affect.

In a basic, overly simplistic way of looking at it the major problem with the current system is that the aggressors have complete control and there is nothing the defenders can do to change that. To change war decs you need to change this fundamental aspect and give both aggressors and defenders something to fight for. The defenders fight to end the dec early while the aggressors fight to keep it active. A structure based system seems to be a solid basic answer but the war dec crowd seems to be against it for reasons I will not go into here. I will simply say that there has been a lot of debate around the forums lately surrounding war decs and I encourage you to seek out and read those so you will know what reasons both sides have.

Solution: restrict wardec's to the same interval as neural remaps: once a year (Faction Warfare excluded)

That way we can keep the real warfare out in null, low and w-space where it belongs.

Que crying highsec wardec-abusers outrage and tears...

why wouldn't i just put these up with a neutral alt in a neutral corp? that has no connection with me
