Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Given ccp cannot dedicate resources to policing the current dec mechanics I propose a simple solution. War is about confrontation between players and the current mechanics allow for a range of loopholes that create headaches for players and eat up resources.

When war is declared mutual kill rights should be extended to all players of said corporate entities for a fixed duration. This would make corp hopping to avoid or exploit the mechanic futile. While it is not a fix for dec shields it would certainly make war personal and stop simple mechanic exploitation.

sitting at the jita 4-4 undock with remote sensor boosts and reps from npc corp alts must truly be the pinnacle of ~elitepvp~

What happens if we don't want to leave hi-sec? What happens if we don't have any particular interest in low-sec or null-sec?

Hi-sec is here, it's not going away, and there are a lot of people who live in it. People who cannot get to grips with this fact have no business being in EVE, just like people who can't accept the possibility of ship-loss in low-sec or null-sec.

That is the problem. Too much for too little risk.

If no one will give you one, I will make a corporation just so that I can give you one.

I've heard this said a million times before, but I've never heard a convincing argument for why this is true.

So, let's say I, and a few friends, go to low or null. Will we be killing the rat spawn at the gate, the botter that logs off its Raven upon entry into the system, or the derp-derp cyno bait that makes us retreat with a collective sigh as sixteen supercarriers and a bridged support fleet are dropped onto our four cruiser hulls? Or is low/null pvp like a poker tournament, where the only way to play is to buy in with a super blob of your own? I know you can find decent fights there, sometimes, but damn me if I don't think that mining ice would make for a more enjoyable time than looking for them.

Oh, and I didn't mention wormholes, because wormholes are pretty neat. I've lived in them, on and off, since the day they were out. However, CCP needs to expand a bit on wormhole gameplay to make..."meeting" people there slightly less of a chore.


When I started playing this game, I went straight into null. A few years ago, I gave up on it entirely. It became monotonous, and boring. The pvp was rarely exciting, and being in fleets of more than 20 felt like I was but one in a column of soldiers marching in a 19th century army.

Meanwhile, in high-sec, I rarely, if ever, see myself in double-digit fleets, routinely fight outnumbered, and have to account for the fact that it's never just the people with stars by their names who are hostile. Maybe high-sec is too easy, but only if your idea of high-sec is a place you go to so you can grind up enough cash for the next dozen Maelstroms you're going to lose.

High-sec aggression mechanics are incredibly broken as it is. Wardecs are always in favor of the aggressor, especially with entities that are prepared with neutral RR alts and other nonsense.

Till CCP fixes null PvP so you can catch stuff without a hotdrop, a camp or going AFK cloaked in one spot for weeks, hell yeah. When you think about it, baiting someone with a can isn't much different than baiting them with a cyno BS.

I read this as "waaa I wanna bring PvP to players in hi sec even when they try to avoid it and the mechanics don't let me because CCP realizes that not everyone wants to fight all the time CCP make them have to fight me I want some industrial ship kill mails an Concord keeps blowing me up waaaa!"

You want to force surprise sex on people the game lets you do this, but you have to be patient, crafty, or both. But you want to change the rules to suit the way you and only you play. To that I say bugger off.
