The "(check)" comment was to point out CCP's already adding logistics to the kill reports... Also, the unsaid point of the comment: getting intel on your opponents should include getting info on who their OOC alts are, and how they are used (eyes, boosting, RR, etc). Finally, assuming CCP fixes crimewatch to give RR agression timers, creating more logi pilots is not a bad thing.



2.) Addressing number two first:
a.) It CAN NOT be mutual... If it is mutual, you're essentially giving a loophole to create unlimited numbers of free allies, as you pointed out.
b.) It SHOULD NOT be mutual... The Nuetral RR'er are bypassing the concord fees and essentially joining in the war in a clandestine manner.... Those pilots typically know the players within the war they are joining, and they know who the "enemies" are.... I would highly suggesting an interface improvement that helps players identify threats (i.e. on your character sheet, a page that says:
-- you are a legitmate target to Player A until date XX/YY for suicide ganking their hulk (killrights),
-- you are a legitimate target to Corp/Alliance B due to a concord-sanctioned war,
-- you are a legit target for Corp C until date XX/YY for aiding their enemies of war in battle, etc)
People already set players and corps Red, and watch local to identify threats.... This is not something new or u

1.) Your incursion counter-example is completely unfounded. Serious Incursion runners already ban people in wars from joining their incursion fleets. And when a war-decced pilot does sneak into an incursion fleet, most smart logi pilots already withhold reps on that fleet member and let them DIE rather than put their logi ship at risk. In general, this would have no effect on incursion fleets.... I will admit that there are some atypical cases where people do risk repping a war target, and this will give them second thought. However, in general this will not effect many beyond the neutral RR in high-sec wardec scenarios.

-- Final thought... this could be used as a way to get "free" wardecs on new and/or oblivious EvE players... but they'll adapt or die... This will have much less harm to them than can flipping/baiting, so I hardly see an issue...

Please point out any loopholes or problems I'm missing...
The only "problem" I see with this, is it effectively nerfs using nuetral alts in wars. While you could still use them for the initial punch effect, these non-trivially skilled alts then lose most their utility... they can no longer freely travel under concord protection when between battles!! And even worse, they can't even shoot first thereafter, when they effectively become a party in the war. With such a diminished utility, their usage becomes almost not worth it!

Also, gate/station games aren't a "neutral RR" problem, they're an "RR has no aggression timers" problem. The Crimewatch rework should fix this as they are planning to add support for inherited aggression timers, which stops the station games while allowing logistics-based gangs to deaggress the same way a locally tanked gang would.
