EVE General Discussion

It's not easy to unseat a powerful alliance. More often then not, large alliances are destroyed from within, as opposed to any military action by their enemies. With their large incomes, they can lose a titan on a Monday, and have it replaced on Tuesday.

Here lies the problem; prolonged military campaigns are completely ineffective in upsetting the status quo. Sure, we still have the ability to infiltrate and destroy from within, but that's not so difficult to protect against. More importantly, that should not be the only option. INR, logistics are everything, and any disruption wreaks havoc. This is a problem Alliances are almost entirely immune to in Eve.

Not only has logistics in Eve have been simplified over time, there aren't any tools available to us to disrupt them altogether. A jump freighter in an NPC corp can operate 99.99% risk free. So no matter how many titans and motherships you blow up, big power blocks have an uninterpretable faucet of isk they can replace them with.

No one should be able to hide in an NPC corp. The solution is simple, we should be able to wardeck individuals in an NPC corp. They could still join or form player corporations, but the wardeck will follow them. This introduces a new level of complexity that we sorely need.

TL;DR: I need about three fiddy

translation "i want to gank freighter pilots, in high sec, without penalty"

I think he is saying that the null sec players all have highsec NPC corp alts to move things around and do business in JITA. And that if those alts could be wardeced it would be a way to strike out at null corps.

I've often wondered why wardecs have to be specific to a corp. It would cool to be able to war dec an account or maybe all the players with a certain avatar model, or to wardec anyone flying a specific ship ie. all Hulks!

It seems to me that wardec's are just a bribe to CONCORD to turn a blind eye, I'm sure those same officials would be happy to offer a greater variety of targets...for a price!

I'll give you ten piffles and the holy shrubbery

Wardeccing a region of space would effectively turn it into a nulsec zone, and that's a terribly bad idea because it would break the fundamental workings of EvE. It's an idea that has been shot down countless times because of the issues it poses.

Just keep popping those cynos, we're working on that.

While the US may consider corporations people, they lack anatomical features that would result in a mound of soft flesh laced heavily with nerves from which I may go and apply sufficient pressure to cause hematoma.
Therefore I suggest that all such grouping of people should be made to have critical must protect infrastructure that they must actively defend.
The loss of said infrastructure should result in the immediate disbandment of the corporation and forfeiture of any all assets in but not limited to corporation hangars within stations, POSes, market orders on their behalf, S&I jobs and contributory sovereignty.
This will at once enable the so called golden BB effect as done by smaller corporations, but it will also force the wars of aggression so necessary to the proper and right functioning of the nullsec ecosystem.
As such I move that the health for sov structures should be reduced to 10% of current values and be made to require constant maintenance starting at an approximate ISK value of 50 million per month and scaling on an exponential curve based on the activities of its members as defined by their Crest.

You know, in a war, the military likes to target enemy infrastructure. Like airfields, bridges, roads, ports and bridges.

It's much easier and more effective to target the static locations, like bridges, than trying to catch the machines doing the transporting. Also less prone to subterfuge.

I watched a movie once, called "A bridge too far". Now I don't want to jump to any conclusions; but I think you might find it somewhat informative in regards to your issue.

We already have structure grinding and that will never go away entirely. What we need is a more options. There is also an underlying point: should anyone be immune to pvp in Eve?

'cos no one will sub. end of.
