War dec should be free

If war dec where free.

If there was a 5 hour start up and 5 hour cool down cool down.

If you killed anyone while in an NPC corp you would be expelled from NPC corp. You would then be placed in your own corp. With a tutorial on living on your own.


The result of this would be mass war... War everywhere the horror.... Players would be forced to group together and form the space within space.

The only difference is that poor corps/alliances would live in high sec and low sec and richer/larger corps/alliances would be in null sec. We now have the sov tool to benifit this process.

I cannot decide whether this posting is just thoughtless or the OP is deliberately obtuse...

Just if it's the latter case.... Not now. Not ever.

If you just gave people the option to decline war decs then people wouldn't be having problems with the mechanic in the first place, but what do I know?

I think war deck and concord should be removed from game *runs for cover*

The bottom line is isk should not be the deterrence for war dec's > We should embrace war dec's they are the best part of the game. After eight years let me go thru why join a player corp/alliance:

Taxes, free ships, free mining, free npc killing, free market- only your "Friends" will buy your stuff, POS warfare, Planet stuff, working together to build stations, working together to build ceo titan.

Soo I dont think of war deccing for a safety, fun pvp, getting to know your corp members...

War dec should be for safety.

Lets look at why war decing should be prolific,

There is no more griefing - Concord takes any loot that was pirated ganked, there are no more one man corps, there are no more Alliances that just carebear, maybe travel will be safe cause everyone would be out to kill you and you will have a scouting party.

Eve should be safe for NPC players but very boring. They should not be able to kill anyone but NPC since they are sheltered. They are not allowed in nul sec or low sec. If they want that they must join a player corp. Concord should restrict the noobs to safe places.

More ships and implants go boom. Insurance and implants lost alone will be huge.

I suspect with more players that cant be in NPC corps and killing in lowsec or null will make null sec crowded.

If you can play from npc pirate stations in nullsec you can be fruitfull.

oh wait... there's no "dislike" button?

Sorry but you're going to have to find your pvp the hard way like the rest of us.

ITT: An idiot who doesn't realize what an ISK sink is. And doesn't realize that you can't force people to play the game a certain way.

Hint: Things like insurance, which generate a net gain to the economy, are ISK FAUCETS. Implants are minor ISK sinks, but you got the right answer for the wrong reason. Implants are ISK sinks for the people that bought them in the LP stores, not the person that lost their pod.

Ok in general more war means more isk lost. This would out weigh the amount of isk that is payed for war dec.


The risk/reward will increase with free war dec.

If wars where free,


solo playwould not be very profitable in high sec.

If you where in a NPC corp you could not get in low sec or null sec. Travel across the universe would be very restrictive.

If you could be spotted in a one man corp then you would be target if you have any market or contract orders.

Surely any mission running or mining would turn bad fast.


I guess if you wanted to be safe and be in NPC corp they should implement taxing contract and market sell/buy orders for NPC corps only. Make that an additional 15% tax on final sale.

If wars were free you'd act like the 0rphanage.... you'd never leave jita. You'd never discover that EVE has low-sec and null-sec areas. You'd never discover that anything outside of 100 km of the Jita 4-4 station even existed..... You'd never learn how to PVP either 1:1 or in gangs and it would give rise to a whole creed of lazy high-sec pirates who never bothered to learn how to play the game.

As it is, I wish war decs cost 100x what they cost so the lazy buggers we have now would have to actually get involved.

T-

p.s. if this is the kind of game play you want then just join the 0rphanage and stop moaning about how much you have to pay for war decs.

Yes your would be correct if what is today does not change after war dec freedom comes.


I believe EVE would change and there would be no more central hubs. Because super Alliances would slice empire and low sec and null sec away. The hubs would be based on Alliances and player corp standings. null sec would be where the alliances would control every aspect of space. In high sec they would have the market where they sell goods to neutrals. Eve would change where player Alliance/corps run the game to a higherlevel. Would not your alliance want hubs as their revenues for their manufacturers.


Seeing space in terms of Alliance ownership down to high sec would actually make pirates true pirates. Cause they would war dec large alliances and try blockades and great many battles ensue. I have been hoping the pirates not having stations where they could be safe to undock cause of sec status issues.


In my EVE the use of Concord is strictly for NPC corps.


I like my eve where the game is based on relationships not where you are.

only if when at war any ship lost would be replaced by concord in full, not just insurance but ship itself + modules lost + implants that may have been lost.

i mean it has to be fair, there is no defense against a war dec currently and with your proposal any 1man corp could perma wardec a 100 man corp.

wow...So your suggestion is ruin Eve and to give it all to the alliances.

1) Alliances shouldn't be able to assentially own or control any portion of high sec because it is owned by the factions. The fact that the Goons have started the Icecapades is crap. At a certain point the Gallente federation should have said "to hell with this, you're destroying our economy." and engaged war against the Goons. Yet for some reason the npc factions which are a major part of the sand box, don't seem to actually have any involvement with the out come of the sand box...Hell, npc wars don't even break out that FW players can jump into.

2) Free war decs does not mean that Eve will become more of what you want. It means that those carebear corps will negate the benefits of being in a player corp and just opt to stay in an npc corp, thus taking away from anyone that could be war decced so you can pad your killmails.

3) The alliances would place all of their alts into npc corps where they couldn't be decced and everything they do in relation to high sec would go through those alts, thus negating your so called purpose of free war decs which was cutting off alliance high sec supply chains.

4) Free war decs would instigate more high sec pirating because there would be no one to war dec besides other pirates, and none of the high sec pirates want a challenge when they fight. They want easy kills that require little to no skills. Therefore, they would revert to ganking members of npc corps.

5) This would rip apart the eve market. Many items researched and built to be put on the market at lower prices would stop happening because all those carebear corps that build POSes in order to do so wouldn't be in a player corp, thus they wouldn't have a POS to do so. So market prices would go up. OR, all of the items on the market would be put there and controlled by the alliances with no one to compete with but each other, so there would be less supply, more costs, and yet again more alliance control over what goes on in all of Eve.

Alliances should only have a say so in what happens in null sec amongst the alliances and what parts of low sec they can maintain control of.
They should not have any pull or effect in high sec other than the markets.
They can also have an effect in high sec thru wars, but wars should be much more costly than they are now to negate grief wars, killmail wars, and "cause I can wars."
Players are right in that you decide the reason for war and not some game mechanic, however, with the prices being increased by quite a bit, then it's up to you to determine if that reason is worth the costs, and I would say that easy kills aren't worth a higher cost to most players.

Oh, and Seriously....WTF are you thinking???

actually I don't understand the thing about cost. If I'm not mistaken war-decs are cheap as it is. IIRC it's 2 million isk for a corp to war-dec another corp. He can start his own corp and war-dec who ever he wants for the cost of killing a couple of rats.

The point the OP is really making is that he thinks he should be able to gank who ever he wants where ever he wants and not have to pay the consequences.

What he's really advocating is the removal of concord.

Dude, go to low-sec. Buy a rifter and get started on your learning curve. it's not that hard.
