EVE General Discussion

While I think that any concept of PC policing is doomed to fail, there is one obvious place that it might work, at least for a short time: THERA

Any attempt to police HS is ultimately futile. Concord already do so and even when you try to step in to protect you risk becoming a target for Concord yourself (in certain situations). Moreover, Concord is a reactive rather than proactive force focused purely on punitive action rather than protection. Meanwhile, LS is far too big for any one group to try, while NS is already policed in a sense through sovereignty rights.

Thera might actually be possible. It's one system, albeit a massive one, with four stations that provide obvious places to 'protect' and scannable entry points. A police force in Thera could conceivably work. Concord isn't an issue as this is wormhole space, while there is no sovereignty. A corporation, e.g. Thera Law Protection (THELAW - lol) could (seek to) function out of the four stations and protect incoming and outgoing traffic from Thera.

They could take on contracts to protect specific freighters coming in to Thera from inc WH through to station docking and engage in bounty hunting those in Thera with a high enough bounty. The corporation would have to be 'neutral' and be allied to the SOE/Sanctuary faction to be consistent with the law. This might need the major Alliances to underpin the initiative (hard to achieve). They would also have to be scrupulously honest and even-handed building a reputation for providing a fair service (similar to Red Frog for transport contracts). One person from the corp who engages in 'illegal activity' would risk the overall reputation.

(I wouldn't recommend it quite yet though, not until the furore over Thera has quietened down and become 'part of the furniture'!)

I find these posts insulting. As I make my way down to -10 I have remembered my carebear roots and taken the time to honor and respect them.

How is the rebellion going?

i like the idea of a PC driven honor bound police force, but this is eve, scams galore, why trust you over CODE, when people largely don't trust CODE i mean what is different about the two of you beside one has a false sense of security and the other a false sense of confidence in the field, why should people have to feel beholden to a moralistic approach to a game when it fails dismally in RL?

what i am saying is all good things become corrupt by power and as far as i see it your group will be no different in the long run [if it lasts that long]

that said i think it'll end in failure like many before have tried and failed.

I'm always serious.

I'm the fairest in all the land.

You're right, but I'm sure a single Corp could handle patrolling a region or constellation rife with Solo PvPers. There'd be lots of action and a possiblity for some good fights for sure, and the presence of this "law enforcement" corp could encourage some HS carebears to venture out a little futher out of their comfort zones.

I think this would be a nice addition to the Eve community overall.

Channel exists, my brother.

CVA are our brothers.
It's surely a respectable alliance.

We are not intending to be a corporation or an alliance.
There are here enough faithful fighters in this world for this.

The Law intends to be an organization against the crime.
Calling, using, helping, coordinating these types of corporations/alliances which will keep their autonomy and talents in their work.

Assassins are everywhere in this unmerciful world.
But, thanks to divine designer, citizens who want to live in peace also.
We will give them the ability to make hear their voice in a pragmatic way.

We are dealing with vicious ennemies.
We need means with added value to fight them.

The habit...
We are not believing in this.
