The thing is that some people preffer to stay in a small friendly corporation instead of joining a big or even a huge one. This is an obvious disadvantage and leads to an unfair submission to the decissions of larger groups many times oriented solely in causing grief and self satisfy their very low self-esteem. No, I am not wardeked now, no, these are not tears, sorry. But I think we all agree that they dont need to be beter, nor have more skilled characters, nor being faster witted players not knowing the game deeper... they are only numericly superior... by far.

How to solve this? We accept it and live like inferiors when we are not necesarily so? Give up our projects and join a massive group were we become a one more no one? Giving up on EvE full of grief and bitterness?

I suggest CCP implements the chance of hiring NPC ships for isk. Even if your corp is small, if you have worked well and have some isk reserves in due corporation wallet, you can turn things around and kick those bullies arses the way they are looking for. The idea is open for discusion, limitation ideas and all you want. It responds to the ballancing the game philosophy and lends a hand to the independent players that reject the idea of being part of those hordes that now are starting to flame me...

So basically you want to play by yourself in a MMO?

You're meant to be at a disadvantage if you do things by yourself. There's nothing unfair about it.

If you need help, hire some player mercs, giving your enemy a PvE encounter isn't going to hurt them beyond boring them a little.

No!

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

Hi Bud,

Can i just request that these types of threads be kept in the appropriate sub forums. (Features & Ideas in this case.)

If you are interested in getting this idea off the ground i would recommend that you flesh it out and put some formatting into it.
It makes an idea a lot easier and more palatable to analyze, discuss and improve.

I personally probably wouldn't use such a service in my time playing eve, however that is not to say some form or iteration might not be possible.

Big smile Have a nice day.

You better learn to start socializing around and know people because you will have a hard time doing carebear stuff.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!

Carebear? I have no idea what you are talking about. Perhaps all the content that does not imply ruining anyone's -numerically inferior, of course- game? Socializing? That is not more carebearing? Unless you use crude language of course.

To put it into a format?

A button in station. Same as reppair, clones, reffining station, however are called... hire an escort.
Pay by LPs or pay by isk?
Is right PvPs force PvEs to PvP? Let's pay them the same way.
Limitations? I say the discusion is open I dont want to be done the way I say and only that way. I invite the comunity and CCP to think if this is positive or not for the game or for some players. Who and why they would opose. Of course is not a good idea in the eyes of the massa who enjoys such superiority.

more like perfect example (this thread) of how to miss the features & Ideas forum and splash all over the wall making yellow stains.Though that can be an improvement for GD, but still... Features & Ideas type threads are not really "socializing" types of topics.
Now space hookers! now that's socializing at it's finest for GD, gimme soma that! Cool

Unless the NPCs were CONCORD, Officer battleships or sleeper drones they'd be pretty much useless against players anyway. Even IF they weren't I really don't understand why you'd want the Devs to redesign so much of the game (yes I've seen your other thread) just so you could solo in lowsec with your NPC fleet. Sounds like you'd prefer to play EVE Offline.

Seriously, get involved with an active PVP corp that lives there instead. You won't look back.

And no Webby, this lil body ain't for hire. Lol

EvE is a universo of living science fiction. What I am asking is pretty sensitive and according to that. How many people doesnt even know about all can be done "becasue thats for carebears"? Really 50 smashing 6 is all you can get out of it? Mercenaries is a scam. I have all my right to declare my corporation independent of all I dont want to associate with and use the technology and priviledges gained by working missions to be as strong as I deserve without selling my soul to punks. I will not play the game the way you like but the way I want.

You think people dont pvp because they never tried or because they are bad. You cannot get some people dont play eve tfor the combat part of it.
