Yeah, a corp they just created... And if you war dec that newly created corp, they'll just create another new corp.

And, if you prevent them from doing that, then they just won't log in. And if that persists, then they'll just drop subscription.


What you CAN NOT do is get players with no interest in PvP, to be your easy targets.

And that is the wise end to this discusion.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Rather than being able to wardec NPC corps we should be advocating something a little different.

Anytime someone starts a mission, a random NPC corp member is teleported to the mission area with their current ship and becomes the "rat" for the mission (you could even have several of them being "waves", just hold the next guys in a limbo state). They can't leave the mission area until they or the mission runner is dead. The system could choose players for missions based on what class of ship they are flying at the time: L1 = pods/shuttles, L2 = frigates/industrials, L3 = destroyers/cruisers, L4 = battlecruisers, L5 = battleships.

In this way we accomplish several goals:
1. PvP is added to missions.
2. Missions become less of a grind.
3. NPC corp members are properly punished for avoiding wardecs.
4. NPC corp members are forced to PvP.




I always felt that people who want to side with Sansha should get the opportunity to be the rats in the incursions or at least join up with them. From an RP approach this would fit and the incursions were a kind of letdown for Sansha sympathizers. I would even hope in such a case that the Sansha helpers could get LPs from the nation for incursions they manage to thwart.

Imagine the mothership takedown with not just players taking out the Sansha mom, but another fleet defending it!

Generally speaking, a PVP/PVe hybrid in the mission and incursion systems would blur the line between PVP and PVe and break this mental barrier that everybody is having troubles with.

Beyond that point, this entire thread should be consigned to the "bored gankers asking for easy kills" file.

The real problem is that certain segments of the community view PVP as only being their particular brand of it. Theres's industrial PVP, market PVP, ship PVP, personal PVP (dust), etc. If someone doesn't have an interest in PVP, they wouldn't be playing Eve. And frankly, the game will be better off without the relatively minor amount of people who are 100% opposed to all PVP. The game cannot cater to that crowd without attempting to delve into the thing that's killed so many modern MMOs.

There's a reason Eve is still alive... and that reason is PVP.

i allways thought that after 2 months in a noob corp you should be booted and be corpless or have the option to join fw...

and then add the ability to war dec an individual.

Except when we talk about PvE in this game we're really comparing it with combat PvP. So your industrial PvP, market PvP etc is being refered to as PvE.

Generally there is competition between players in any game. But you must realize there are rules to the competition. By making npc corps wardecable, you are destroying the rules that keep many players in game.

tbh I'd sign up for that in an instant. Would be just as cool to sign up with Serpentis and become a "belt rat". Look out miners!

I disagree. Most people who want to deal away with NPC corps want to ruin risk-free alliance hauling and shake up those "forever n00bs" who mission non-stop and give actual newbies terrible advice that consigns them to a boring and unfulfilled EVE life. And, as has been pointed out, NPC corps are not entirely the haven of ****** carebears.

CCP has no sense of humour.

yeah i know, i mean the very concept of delcaring war on an individual is barking mad. wars are between corps and alliances.

I proposed this like 9+ months ago and got so much rage it was unbelievable.

You would be surprised at how many NULL alts for industry and transport there are in NPC corps keeping there supply lines safe.
That's the main reason i wanted the change the first time.

If you could actively wage a war on these Null block logistic efforts in high-sec, it would go along way to giving smaller groups a way to bite the heels of the larger groups.

Supply lines have been a weak spot of many army's, past and present, i see no reason that would change is space war ether.



I also see jump-freighters as one of CCPs biggest errors in judgment, right along side titans, and AOE doomdays.

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

that's a problem with alts not NPC corps. we already have enough tryhards camping our high sec stations without giving them hundreds of extra noob targets to encourage them thanks.

At the time, I considered AOE doomsdays to be a real problem in Eve. However, I've since learned that they were the only thing holding back truly enormous blobs. I'd like to see them reintroduced with dramatically increased costs.
