I'm not sure how the proposed policy will insulate Marmite from big losses (the stated goal). Won't someone deemed unworthy to be in the hub-corp just move to the pipes near said hubs, and still get occaisionally non-consensualed by co-ordinated war targets? Won't it make it worse now because their only exfil is a gate jump (hoping the other side is clear), as opposed to docking & assured safety?

I am confuse on the goal here, and how the proposed change will actually achieve it.

p.s.
If the *real* goal is to somehow meta the 'image' of Marmite, and re-brand & harden up the non-hub corps as 'real mercs', wouldn't those people a) resent then being affiliated with the hub-corp, b) percieved as hub-rats anyway by the community, c) leave marmite to join a 'real' merc alliance or d) all of the above?

These are important questions, I invite commentary on.

Maybe let alliances like PoH, Devil's or Forsaken explain to you why they dont go to the trade hub undocks. Then you'll know the answer.

And holey, boohooo booohoo, hubs, boohoo...

It amazes me all the talk of mercs being friends with mercs its no different to having a coalition in null sec and being blue whats the big deal.

Just makes the game a little more interesting.

Thoughts on this pls.


Good luck with the new policies tora BTW
