Assembly Hall

Joining up with an established Faction Warfare corporation and living in low-sec will be your best bet. Learn from them and make friends (even with non-role players).


Look... I know you are big on the whole role play thing, you "want to stick to your story," and that sometimes we who post on the forums can come down a little hard...

... but the reality you have to understand that there are quite a few other players who don't really care about role play. This is doubly so when game mechanics are concerned as such changes affect everyone (role player or non role player alike).
You also have to understand that things can get REALLY messy (like... REALLY, REALLY messy) and not fit into any real category of "lawful" or "unlawful" (or any of the above).


I guess what I'm trying to say here is this: don't take your role playing TOO seriously. There is going to be a point in time where you will have to make choices that may conflict with how you want to do things. And you can't expect the mechanical system to accommodate you on that basis alone.

For example:
In low-sec, you may be confronted by a player using Caldari character... in a Caldari corporation (NPC or player)... in Caldari space... and you will have to choose between shooting first (and taking a security penalty) or letting him/her make the first move which may result in your demise.
Said Character has a positive security status and much higher faction standings with the Caldari than you do.
What do you do?

Here's another one;
You are now part of the Caldari Militia in a player corporation. Another Caldari Militia corporation has a problem with your corporation (for whatever reason). They declare war on your corp.
You now have to shoot other players within your own Militia in addition to your enemies (the Gallente and Minmatar).
What do you do?
(NOTE: yes... this does happen... I was part of Faction Warfare for years and have more than once participated in such wars against my own Militia... mostly due to issues that can be boiled down to "ONLY ONE EGO MAY SURVIVE")

No worries. Shoot me a mail if you need some advice about something in-game.


You are one of us. That is why you are here.

We have milk and cookies in the back... booze can be found in the room off that side of the hall (try not to spill)... and Antimatter ammo is available at the counter for 18 ISK a unit.



I think the phrase, "when it rains it pours" is an apt description of the whole thing.

Inter-militia wars don't happen often... but when they do it is drama all around!

And null-politics are even worse as egos are bigger, escape routes are fewer, and the consequences much larger in scope.


Like I said... in EVE, things can get REALLY messy (because "freedom" is a messy thing). In order to survive this you have to be just as flexible.

There are no innocent players in Eve. If someone wishes to place a bounty upon another player, it's their choice and their reason alone that matters.

As CCP Eterne once said.

Haha! Thanks for the offer, but i have no problem with it to be honest, i just thought a different system would be better is all, haha!

And a CCP member wrote that? Hahah! that is kinda funny.

But 1 small correction, their are some innocent players in EVE, but nobody cares about innocents when you are a demigod, haha! Anyways, thanks for all the replies guys, gave me some different points of view so thank you!

IF bounties meant something

IF there was a possible way to be a bounty hunter

THEN you might have an argument for modifying things but some bounties are placed for out of game reasons. Meta gaming bounties are common.

I would like to see the bounty system reworked, heavily but until that day I will not ask for a limit on what is a metagame item as opposed to an actual offensive tactic like wardecs

so like Jack said above . . . no
