Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Why NPC corps are NPC corps? Why it can't be in this way:

These new corps will have more RP focus than anything, there will be simple mechanism of it:
All Corps will have shares, 1 player 1 share.
When player starts game, he is located in the predefined corp we know as NPC corp today, he can pick the corp.

Corp members will be voting for CEOs, anyone could qualify.
There would be voting system.
Votes would be managed by the shares. Shares will be avarded only to a non trial pilot. You could sell your share for ISK, give it for free, or you could keep it.
Player or CEO can resign in any time, only by starting their own corp, but he will resign in all the roles in last one, no one can kick the other player out.
Next CEO would be chosen by voting, in the meantime no one would be the CEO. Position would be held by no one.

Those new corps would be wardecable by other corps of the same origin, the "now not so NPC" corps.
CEO can declare war, it would be started by voting.
The fighting would be restricted to low sec and null sec.
When people from rival corps would shoot at their opponents in high sec, concord would show up. Their oponents will not be RED in high sec.

The point of it was not to scare the carebears out of their shoes, at least their taxes will be the same and they will go to "CONCORD".

No

One could ask if OP does not find enough eazy targets.

Too much stimulants? If you can't express yourself without being rude, better shut up.

Why there will be no economy? Why they will be all gone? How the frogs are doing?

All players will not be Goons, never, they could rig something to their cause, but as much as any large alliance.

Goons, then they told Vile Rat (RIP).

Really, this idea is terrible ... but not far off from something that could potentially help out hisec.

1. Rookie corps (aka starter corps) are just that -> for rookies. You're kicked out (forcibly) after 30d (when you lose the "Rookie Chat" channel -- I know "Rookie Chat" is acount-based, this would be character age though)

2. Anyone kicked out of the Rookie Corp, or leaving a player corp goes to the NPC militia. All players currently in NPC corps (e.g. "The Scope" or "Aliastra", etc) are moved to their respective militia. Militia choices default to race, although you're free to sign up with the other militias if you feel like it when leaving your player corp (you just have to manually sign up instead of "leave corp").


This really doesn't fix "all the things" wrong with NPC corps, but it helps ... and ends up being funny when someone drops corp to evade a wardec and ends up being in the "wrong" militia

Preventing all non-consensual pvp is a great idea too. Make everyone go carebear, be it mining, manufacturing or missioning.

sums it up pretty nicely.


see how stupid that sounds.

Guess i was a bit to subtle.

Forcing others to play the way you want because you dont like their style isnt a satisfactory reason for wanting a change to the game, especially when the chief impact will be on newbie players.

k, im going for super blunt this time in hopes that we can communicate at some level.

Leave noobies to make the choice to leave NPC corps when they are ready, just because you dont want them in NPC corps for some reason is not valid reasoning for a change that could turn off newbies to playing EVE. Newbies need some time to get their head into the game before they start into more complicated areas like choosing corps.

I didnt claim being in an NPC corp was helpful, i said that leaving the NPC corp is a decision that newbies need to make when they have a feel for what EVE is about.

"I want it, so CCP should do it", isnt the kind of reasoning that sways devs to make major game changes, expect your idea to never get anywhere unless you can put forth a more compelling reason for its implementation.
