EVE General Discussion

With the new patch and anti-corp agression mechanics going into place preventing AWOXing of corp members also have the consequence of preventing corpmates flying freighters from getting boosted by webbing them into warp from other corpmates? I have a feeling someone's gonna be suprised if this is the case. Web to help freighter --> Poof from Concord?

{{To prevent misinformation, a quick note: There has been no change to corp aggression mechanics in Phoebe. The changes which are being discussed in this thread have not even been officially announced as being implemented by CCP. Please keep that in mind in order to best keep this discussion constructive. -- ISD LackOfFaith}}

Or you set up a corp with all dedicated webbing alts and have a mutual war with the freighter corp.

The changes are bad and force people to exploit other (even worse) game mechanics such as WOW duelling. Especially freighter pilots have set the auto-reject to this function because you get spammed with it at every major undock and even on gates.

OP seems to imply that the 'anti-Awoxing' change is coming.

However, it's not in the current patch notes and, I thought, currently just an assumption based upon a part of the last CSM minutes.

If, 'freighter-webbing' now becomes 'CONCORD-illegal' in the future, does this link to the plan that Capitals will be allowed in High Sec? For that would make sense, given that Freighters were originally a Null Sec ship for transporting Station Eggs and perhaps that's where they belong. Carriers and the Rorqual (and hence keeping that incredibly useful drone bonus) would become the High Sec haulers of choice - given they can fit a fairly decent tank. In fact, given their immunity to EWAR, perhaps Supers will be the ship of choice?

So, is it actually coming to pass? Will accepting a duel be the logical solution?

Thanks, I shall give it a try. Never used duels (was away when they were introduced) and otherwise don't really see the point in them - it's not like combat.

I hate to crash this daily meeting of the Oh God Help Us The Sky Is Falling club, but it must be remarked upon that nowhere in Phoebe has a change to intra-corporation aggression mechanics been made.

This.
But still, get out of highsec.

Out of date.

so, as I assumed, this whole craze has been a result of ideas being thrown around and subsequently being taken as fact by those who wish it were so.
In other words, if it were real it would be in the patch notes... not something trivial that would be omitted on accident.
For the anti's... unbunch thy collective panties. For the pro's, relax thy throbbing member... for it's not happening tonight.

Big Thumbs up to clearing that up!

(wishes he'd had time to read the detail in patch notes)

Yeah, the way it's been talked about here made it seem like it was happening this patch. Personally, for whatever reasons, I quite like the way it is. Corporation for me is about trust. Don't let people in you don't trust, and know that even trusted people can still decieve you. that's life. There's only one way to be truly safe, run a corp with only your accounts in it (yeah, even your RL best mate might screw you over for a laugh!).
