EVE General Discussion

No, the kill mail system is an in game feature that relies on 3rd party boards to function. Just because a single aspect of it is provided by a 3rd party doesn't render it irrelevant.

When recruiting corporations will use their kill boards, if you force them to reset their corporation and subsequently their kill board you will be setting them back considerably. As for kill boards being managed across multiple corporations, no. That is not how they work.

And yes, if you look at people's corp history corp hopping happens extensively. This is usually to avoid war decs. For example this character hopped in and out of the last alliance I was in a few times, because I dropped corp whenever I was transporting anything expensive.


If you honestly believe a small industrial corp pulls a total of 300m a day then you've been doing something drastically wrong in Eve. Maybe some very bad one man operations pull that little, but for most players 300m is the equivalent of two, maybe three hours gameplay.

None of what you posted has anything to do with war decs. For someone who has been playing since 03 you are remarkably ignorant.

Where the hell are you mining in highsec?

There's plenty of 2-5 men small merc / harass / station games corps, it'll be hard to go check them out, and it's not like they had a big name to defend to begin with.


Incursions, now officially the only income source in Eve. Lol.

Anyway, CCP statistics are pretty much useless, especially when you don't bother to link them. I mean, what is it, average isk per hour? How is that calculated? I have three alts, does that mean CCP count me as making <100m an hour when I'm doing PvE because it's done per account? Is it based on the amount of ISK in my wallet? In which case stats would show 75 pct of players are **** poor, coz I keep all my money on one toon.[/quote]

I refer to something like this.

So make it multiple locations located in the defender's systems? The attacker should have something valuable that can be lost, not just paying a bribe so concord looks the other way... Risk vs reward, amiright?

Probably any old belt. Though you are restricting it solely to mining or bot as some of us call it. Industrial's build and sell as well and it's easy to have all 3 going at once.

If the warring parties were banned from NPC stations. Then waging war from syndicate into high sec would place a huge amount of stress on your war party. This is why warring parties should be banned from NPC stations, it gives immediate need to get the war over and done with. While creating a need for logistics so they can run the war, with the bonus of putting both parties at risk .

CCP - Your board sucks. It reeks of having lost control of your technology. Not a comforting feeling.

War should be the province of player sov. Since sov is only holdable in 0.0, it can only occur in 0.0. (Try counting how many "problems" this present system has which that would solve.) Hi and Lo sec already have existing sov. Only Minmatar, Amarr, Caldari and Gallente can declare war in their specific zones. Their wars are on their borders, ipso facto.

This would solve the abuses of the War Dec, removing it from the reach of griefer corps. It would remove the absurdity of thinking you can declare and operate a war in someone else's sovereign domain...what is CONCORD being paid for but to maintain order?

Further, it would provide the much needed incentive to move players from hi to null sec as a matter of player development and maturation. It would return the goal of "being good enough to play in null sec." This in turn would open the flood gates for null sec recruitment, thus making competitive the obtaining of new players. Not to mention...though I will....provide an incentive for the better players, to turn their attention to newer players...give a reason to help them develop. Null sec's warrior draft system.

This would create meaning to the phrase, "If you want to play (EVE) with the big dogs, you have to get off the porch." The "endgame content" would become more significant to the newer players. It would even give the older players another dimension to the game that would require organization and planning. He who doesn't recruit from the welling ranks becomes outnumbered. It would also make it rather risky to try to settle with a handful of people "you know you can trust" and make people start running a few risks...you know - the ones that like to pretend they're doing that already.

Look at the map. Empire is tiny compared to null. The game should be played out there. The rules should be made out there. Hi and lo should be boring. "Nothing ever happens in hi or lo," is how you get people out of there into the real space.

May the whining begin.

The war deck system should force all agressors to post a 100 million ISK per corp member deposit which if the agressor doen't kill more ships then it loses the deposit goes to the defender or if they corp hop after the war starts to evade loses. That way if the agressor never comes out to fight they are penalized for a frivlous war & greifers that corp hop 1/2 way after the start of a war are forced to pay 100 million deposit & lose the deposit to the defenders if they kill a few ships then leave when the heat later comes down on them.
This will also give the defenders a reason to fight back instead of curl into a ball

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with this post. One of the crowning achievements of eve is that endgame has a different meaning for everyone. My ideal endgame does not include being random ship #3746 sitting at a gate waiting for some guy on TS to tell me to shoot at something, while the main branch of the fleet is actually having fun cleaning out the system of POS's.
I am at my current endgame and I am enjoying it. Maybe some day my endgame will change and I will enjoy that version as well. If I want to go back to linear, which is what you are suggesting, well I've got plenty of games to choose from.
