Exploit: CorpA and CorpB are at war.
PersonA (part of CorpA) is going about his business watching local and overview.
PersonB (part of NPC corp) has submitted a application to join CorpB but it is not accepted right away.

PersonB flies up to PersonA, ... CorpB accepts PersonB application.

PersonB now fires upon PersonA - and personA didnt even know he was in local.


Solution: When an application is accepted - it takes between 1 hour and 1.5 hours (30 min random) for it to process.

No longer can anyone exploit jumping corps to pop someone without being seen in local/overview.

I believe it would be enough already if the acceptance of the application requires a session change,
but the old mechanic has to go away anyway, because it's seriously flawed.

Anyway, writing "without being seen in local/overview" is the wrong wording,
because he's seeable in local/on overview, but he's not seen as flashy red.

Big difference.

Session change and can only fight 30 minutes after being accepted.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

How about just requirement of being docked to be accepted?? You can't leave a corp without docking either AFAIK.

It's currently against the rules, petition when it happens.

As for fixing it: Require that they dock up to complete the application. The game already requires that you be docked to APPLY. This would just add an extra step.


  1. You dock up and apply to a corporation
  2. That corp reviews your app, and if it is accepted, you are sent an "offer" (for lack of a better term)
  3. You dock up and accept the offer
  4. You are now a member of the corp and can immediately begin doing anything any other member of the corp can do.

I am ok with that change too.

Either way - such a simple change can GET RID OF an exploit... and to cry baby to CCP everytime a corp member/or alliance member gets hit with it is not the right way to go.
