Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I beleave the reason that you cant kick people in space instantly is that you could kick them webbing a corp ship, say a freighter to decrease its aline time, and they would be concorded for this. It is a good thing that no one has that power. Hence the delay with notice idea.

CONCORD strikes again! Is there anything CrimeWatch hasn't managed to ensnare in its evil tentacles? If we're talking about the implementation of a delay kick, then I'm opting for 4 hours. This should satisfy all corporations - including those in wormhole space.

I refer you to one of Mara's earlier posts regarding timers being "creatively used" by the "bad guys".

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

The Rules:
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

10. Discussion of warnings and bans is prohibited.

Such matters shall remain private between CCP and the involved user. Questions or comments concerning warnings and bans will be conveyed through email or private messaging. CCP respect the right of our players to privacy and as such you are not permitted to publicize private correspondence (including petition responses and emails) received from any of the aforementioned parties.

26. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued.

Thread re-opened.

It was all troll, or off topic posts like the one you just made. :D

Back the the Topic at hand though. The way to prevent, as Admiral Root was saying, the timers being "creatively used" by the "bad guys" is to have it work on a flag system that would work something like this:
1. CEO fires a member in space, as they are in space the delay time clock would start.
2. Member is hit with a 24 hour(or whatever delay CCP would pick) expel notice to let them know that the CEO has fired them.
3. at the end of the delay time clock the pilot gets a flag.
4. Next time the pilot logs or docks, they are kicked from the corp if the flag is on them.

This way they get a delay and can stay in corp, however the second they dock or log off after the delay they are gone. Also the pilot getting kicked gets to chose, after the delay clock, when they leave up to the point that CCP logs them out for down time. Still follows the current rule on "not kicking members in space", and eliminates a game feature based on down time. <-- Just for you Awoxxers I did not call it an exploit for on whole post! :D
