Saying that the option is default off is not quite fair as it's simply a check-box in the 'Create Corporation' window and can be changed before the Corp is created.

Here's the window for reference.

It says in the corp search, you can filter out all the evil FF-ON corps.
Will you be giving us the option to filter out the risk-adverse FF-OFF corps? And only search for FF Enabled corps??

If not, why the disparity?
This was simply done in the same way that the current 'Exclude Corporations in Alliances' checkbox works, and was not intentionally meant to only provide one option and not the other. I agree with you on this, it might be best to give both options, and Ill see if the team agrees and if its feasible for Tiamat.

I'm no expert on the subject but I'm fairly sure our hiring process would mitigate this concern, maybe yours should too? Lol


Yeah, like CCP would hire someone brandishing something as timid as a cricket bat.

I notice that in some screenshots the values for Friendly Fire was "Legal / Illegal" and in some it was "Enable/Disable"

Recommend using one value pair for consistency.

Trying out all the things to do here in Eve - it's quite a checklist. So I made a blog Jakob's Eve Checklist

Well spotted! This has been changed to "Legal/Illegal" in all cases now, if you do notice any inconsistencies on Singularity or after Tiamat hits TQ feel free to submit a bug report and I'll make sure its fixed.

how much does concord protection cost?

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

AWOXing simply meant tackling someone in a shiny ship and cynoing / jumping a hostile fleet on top of them to kill them. Nowadays it is used for pretty much any blue-on-blue spy-related incident.

Please allow the tackling of corp members Cool

Eve online is :

A) mining simulator B) glorified chatroom C) spreadsheets online

D) CCP Games Pay to Win at skill leveling, with instant gratification

So what's the cost of this beautiful CONCORD protection?

After all, everything should have a price. If there's no COST to turning friendly fire OFF, then why would any HS corp ever turn it ON?

Comparing hiring in the real world with Eve is a poor idea. In the real world I cannot instantly create a new "me" that totally hides any and all previous bad behavior or criminal activity.

So whats the cost of the CEO turning FF on, thereby giving himself a corp full of free, legal targets?

I still don't see how the fear of being AWOXED locks people into solo play? If you're so risk averse that you don't dare join a corp for fear of being blown up, then why on earth would you even undock? I know a lot of people that have 1 man corps, but none of it is because they're afraid of being blown up, it's just that they want their own corps for whatever reason.

Maybe I'm just old school and am not in touch with the newbies coming into the game, but is making the game less risk averse the solution?

GREAT question.

I can already see it.. Create corp, Advertise as FF OFF, bring in a bunch of shiny incursion runners/missioners. Bring in your buddies. turn FF ON and watch the tears.

You got it. The mitigation is the 24 hour notice. Of course, people need to actually check their notices.

Um, yeah it is entirely fair. A checkbox that is presented unchecked is defaulted to off. If the checkbox defaulted to being checked when first presented, it would be fair to say the default is on.

In the spirit of Eve, you really ought to leave it checked by default and let them choose to turn it off. It's right there in their face at corp creation. The default status of any setting says a lot about the developers' intentions - and Eve was originally developed with that setting on.

Two notices, if I read correctly: one when the 24 hour period begins and one when it ends.

Saying that suggests that we also intend you to name your corporation after yourself & have a 0% tax rate! Big smile

In all seriousness though I do take your point regarding this, it's just that extrapolating developer intent from the default option is a dangerous game. We expect that many corps will take advantage of the option of concord intervention, whereas many others will want to have the convenience of legal friendly fire. Either option is fine with us, as long as we're sure the consequences of either option are clear.

Correct!

Whats the consequence of turning FF off???

I get you guys dont want a tax, what about a wardec-esque fee? Say 50mill a month?
Give ANY consequence for turning it off please.

Any.
Also which one are you alluding to in your post? What consequences for turning it OFF?
