I think reducing the ally can fight timer to 4 hours from 24 isn't necessary. Additionally, you need to make it VERY CLEAR in all the text, mails, etc. about wars that this is happening, because it will be the only timer that isn't running on a 24 hour cycle.

Can we get some clarity on this part, what is considered inactive?

Not subscribed.

If it works like bounties, which is likely, inactive is after 5 months of not logging in.

I wish we could fire probes out of probe launchers continuously like guns so we don't have to keep clicking on the launcher button.

^^^ This would be awesome.

i never read who actually does the blogs but with yours i always know its you cause your the only person who puts pink in them... that and lots of graphs, not to say our econamy expert does not provide , he just doesnt give me my graph fix in such interesting ways as you do :-P

also congrats ^_^ and enjoy your time off.

Hey guys,

Regarding forced peace length, then the issue here is that it is very hard to make sure members of corp A don't go to war with members of corp B during a forced peace duration. Some or all of corp A can simply create or join a new corp and declare war again. The longer the forced peace period is, the greater the incentive to do so becomes. So the forced peace period should be regarded more of a short breather or truce that gives both sides a bit of time to figure out the next steps, not as an extended guarantee of absolutely no conflict being possible, because there are plenty of ways around that. Making the forced peace period 2 weeks gives people plenty of time to carry out any immediate plans (such as rallying their buddies or relocating), while being short enough to not really make corp hopping or other shenanigans worth it.

Regarding inactive accounts, this is based on non-subscribed accounts. Unlike for bounties, this kicks in the moment an account is unsubscribed. Yes, we know this allows people to know how many active/inactive accounts a corporation has, providing this information is a conscious decision.

If a corporation with an active war dec joins an alliance, that war dec starts instantly for the alliance as soon as the new corp is joined, no warning goes out to alliance for a "24 hour timer".
If your alliance leadership has not informed it's members, or even if the corp in question has been war dec'd during their stasis period, no warning goes to alliance members.

Surely this is wrong, there should be a timer and notification sent?

You could be out in space in an indy ship, PVE carebear boat or whatever and you get an email saying "You are now at war" just as you land on gate in a trade hub, no notice period, no warning until you are already at war. If you are lucky, you dock up fast. If you are unlucky, there are war targets sat on gate.

I haven't verified the issue you describe, but really shouldn't that be an issue you take up with your alliance (or corp) leadership? If the leadership isn't aware of the war situation, or simply neglects to inform their pilots, they should be taken to task for any losses incurred.
