Or rather than arbitrary mechanics that complicate it, you could just learn to confidence scam them quickly. Like persuading them you will web their freighter for them, then betraying them at a suitable location where your buddies with a bump mach and waiting freighter to scoop the loot are and instead ganking them

It just seems limited in scope. The only kinds of high-sec ships worth waiting around a month to AWOX are big shiny-filled freighters.

Current AWOXing mechanics don't make sense and all you're doing is delaying them. Corporate theft is still possible with poorly secured POS assets or lax wallet rules, so let's keep it there.

Your proposal, in its current iteration, encourages inactivity(waiting for an arbitrary timer to go down). That is the reason I don't support it.


On the contrary, it encourages even an AWOXer to interact with his corp and play the role of 'good guy' during the probation period lest he be removed from corp prematurely. He has to work harder to get what he wants. But he has to decide whether his goal is worth the time and effort.

Like what was intended, it makes AWOXing more 'meaningful' because empty 'casual' AWOXing is not worth waiting a month for.

If your goal is to cause chaos to a corp you've only just found out exists, then sure, this is most definitely a nerf to AWOXing in general.

A month? Too long, honestly. That's literally paying a month's sub just to blast a few corpies before they can insta kick you with the new kick queue nonsense.

A week is something I could get behind, for a decent size corp it takes about that long to get enough intel on them to get things rolling for a decent spree, and it doesn't handcuff you too badly.

Recruiting a awoxer/spy/thief is part of the risk of recruitment, thus a major component of the game. An artificial cooldown to change a fundamental aspect of being in the same corp is not a real solution. This is especially poorly thought out considering there are other things you can do in-game already such as form a trial corp in which new members stay in for your {x} days before moving into your own.
