Warfare & Tactics

Thats not we are saying noob

funny how all the "curb stomping" you guys do have suddenly spaceships on the kill mails.

If you don't dec newbie corps they'll have too many assets to control during a switchover and therefore are much less likely to dissolve and re-form.

Which brings us to your real request. "Why can't I shoot noobs?"

Edit: Also, I read the Dev blog/patch notes on rubi and there was a para speccifically about war decs on corps holding POCOs. Long and short, if you're war dec'd and own a POCO, the POCO can't avoid the dec.

Yeah I heard this was coming in the update.

Still no big deal - Make a few one derp toon holding corp for pocos. (Use your 2 spare account slots)
If someone war decs it and pops the poco, be there for when it come out of reinforcement with another neutral toon/Badger and drop a new office 1st. They can't shoot the neutral badger and will not have their own toon on field to drop one until after they poco is down. You just have to be ready the second the poco pops.

Then swap it to the corp you want it in when you next can. They then have to do it all again.
Also set the time for it to come out of reinforcement for when the aggressor is known to be working or sleeping.

A lot of hell funny things will happen when people start bashing high sec offices.

I have to say, this solution can only be in favor of really new and small Corporations, from which i doubt youll get good fights out of anyway. Its will demand they have to empty their corp hangers and move wallets across, or am i mistaken?

From the dev post:

Because of the importance of wars in taking down POCOs, we’re putting in a restriction on when ownership of a POCO can be transferred and to whom. A corporation that owns a Customs Office cannot transfer ownership if they are at war or have a war pending. This does not apply to transferring ownership to another corporation in the same Alliance as the owner (as the war will still cover those).

So the pocos can't run to other corps. But what happens if the corp dissolves? I'd like to see those pocos turn back into interbus for anyone to shoot.

On topic, being able to run from wardecs "working as intended" is horseshit. What kind of multiplayer game are you playing if you're allowed to easily hide from player conflict? I like the idea of having the dec follow a player even if he leaves, for some amount of time. After that you can go back to missions or w/e the **** you do but gimme at least a day to kill you first. Damn I paid good money for this.

Because you're a tool for wardec'ing high sec industrial corps who can't defend themselves, instead of leaving the playground and heading out into the real world?

As a corp that has been wardec'd by corps we couldn't fight against (in our earlier days), and by Failed Diplo on more than one occasion, the option came up in Command Core back then to do just what this thread is discussing. I refused, as that was not how I wanted this corp to run. We couldn't fight them on even terms, felt they were bullies for picking on noobs, but chose to stand our ground (or, you known, avoid Rens).

As someone said, disbanding and reforming is a lot of hassle, demoralizing, and weakens your corp as much as a wardec would. Now, my corp is still noob, but can hold our own in several of the wars we are in, as well as the fact that we have formed good relationships with some of the corps we fought against.

My point? I type too much. Also, if a corp sucks enough that they have to disband to avoid a war, let them - they won't be around for long, and there are plenty of other corps out there to wardec. So, you lost some Isk on a failed wardec; it probably wasn't much, and that's the risk you take.

Each pilot plays the game their own way - it is not on us to enforce our way of playing on others.

So tell me how the system you're in affects whether your war targets disband?
