EVE Information Portal

I don't know if this has been addressed yet, but this is the Internet. We don't read four pages of thread discussion anyway!

My question is, how is this going to affect wanted green-on-green "hostility"? Example:
When moving stuff (ore, etc), we use a corpmate in a frigate to Web our freighters for faster alignment. With ff flagged as Illegal for the corp, this would trigger crime watch and CONCORD, correct?
Also, would this affect in-corp logi support?

An obvious, though very restrictive, workaround is the Duel system. Effective, yes, but a pain in the ass. And it's truly only useful for this purpose in a very limited set of circumstances.

So, here's my idea - why not have a series of prompts when setting up a corp which pop up like windows when you are installing a program/app? A tickybox can be missed - a window which pops up, with an explanation, requiring an input and a decision by the budding CEO, is going to be more effective at making it an explicit choice than leaving it as a passive pre-selected choice.

Would you like to have an AWOXing corp, Y/N?


Secondly, I grok the whole send an invite thing - it will be useful for recruiters to send a quick invite to a prospective recruit. HOWEVER, can you please, like duel invitess, put in a tickybox which allows us to turn invites off? People are going to use this to send unsolicited invite spam to characters and clog up your day with notifications and bullschnitzel.


Finally, there's a lot of people complaining about the AWOX-off feature. Get over it, this is a good thing(tm) and will improve corp lives all round.

You may think that AWOX-on is stupid and no one would join the corp. However, we will be keeping AWOX-on because you cannot web your freighters off gates in highsec if there's CONCORD intervention.

Does repping a corp mate in a war fight currently cause suspect?

And as for your second example, if his safety is green or yellow, then his repping stops. Since that is how it currently works. If he has a red safety for some reason, then yes he'll get concorded, but you could have just convinced him to shoot you instead and saved your own ship in that case.

For everyone talking about web-slinging freighters:

Remember you can always have the freighter pilot accept a duel from the webber. With an active duel, you can keep the safety set to green and still web your corp mate's freighter. Once you web the freighter, you will have a limited engagement going and the ability to safely web the freighter will persist, as long as you actually web the freighter once in awhile.

Yes, it is less convenient, but that is the cost of setting FF off.

You can also use duels for tank testing.

Also: With FF off you can still remote rep corp-mates, it is still legal. In fact, right now under present rules, you can fly up to any random person (non-criminal) and remote rep them, without penalty. (It can really freak them out.) Just keep the safety set to green to prevent any accidents. (Oops, I activated the negative repair module. Oh, look there is CONCORD. What they do...... oh.)

So you'll be recruiting brand new players left and right after the 17th, correct?

Lmao god its so funny ccp thinks this is gonna make corps recruit noobs therefor increasing retention== money

Wardecs are the broken mechanic you are looking for devs.

FIX WARS

My understanding was that this was supposed to enhance the ability to securely recruit, not the desire to do so in all cases. Have you determined otherwise?

Thanks for your tears contribution, your level of pain in the rear shows in how much you wanted to gut every good change in eve.


This change is not in its own league, it's a fix to dumbmode awoxing, and it can't be judged out of context of dumbmode awoxing.
Within that context, the change is net positive, without a doubt.
If you want to keep your "exercise in trust" you are free to turn FF to legal and keep having it, your "unique challenge EVE presents", as long as you prefer. Who's stopping you?


The only thing the game is losing is dumbmode awoxing. It was not game-defining, unless you were even more risk-averse than average suicide wanker (is that even possible?), in which case, eve is not the game for you.
If you think dumbmode awoxing and safari in newbie corps (you may pretend all you want, but most awoxers were just spamming apps and killing whoever they can, with no regard to ship or age) is "game-defining" or "unique challenge", then indeed, eve will only gain if it drops both those things and you.


I will recruit some people my mates recommended to me, whom I rejected due to lack of trust. Now that I know that orcas and freighters my mates have are safe from one-man certain death scenarios of total dumbmode awox.
I might offer helping hand to genuinely new players, but then again, I always did, and never requested them to join my corp, so no changes here - I guess I'm still not recruiting newbies without recommendation.
