Mandatory FW for players in NPC corps

The idea:
Every player in an NPC corporation is automatically enlisted in that corp's faction militia. An option is given to the players to manually switch to a new faction (and NPC corp with it) as long as they have standings above 0 with them. If the player's standing with their current faction drops below 0 or they join a new NPC corp (after leaving a player corp), they are automatically assigned to an NPC corp of the faction that they have the highest standing with.
If for some reason a player has negative standings with all 4 empire factions, they are assigned to an "outlaw corp" of the "outlaw faction", which is at war with every empire faction.
Note that this last paragraph was written under the assumption that you can dock and run L1 missions for any corp regardless of standings.

To offset the new risks players in NPC corps are subject to, i'd suggest keeping the current awoxing mechanics in game. Meaning when you are in a player corp, there's still a slight chance that somebody could kill you for free in highsec.
Another idea would be to give militias the option to wardec player corps if their members collectively fork out enough money.


Implications: A LOT of those! I know some, you know some, discuss.

Not supported. I can see having a massive expansion of FW as a goal. Forcing people into it by default is bad. Now, signing up for FW as a pilot should move you into an NPC FW corp if currently in an NPC corp, but thats a whole different bag of worms.

says a lot about fw if you see the need to be drafted into it don't you think?


Have you asked fw in general about this? I am sure they'd love more farmers to undercut the money they make now.

And why?


Also why is it just fw posting up this crap (not the first time we have seen this)? Never have I seen RvB (or someone pretending to be in it) post this junk. Hell it be a nice break, this bait got old and stale long ago.

Welcome to The Scope, pilot. It says here in your file that you ran track while pursuing your Journalism degree. That's good... you'll need it. How's your marksmanship?
