Crime & Punishment

QFT.

Tenfold.

WH are THE place where you have to know exactly what you're doing without questtion.

I didn't say: "don't go it's too dangerous".

The man is talking about going AND taking people with him, people with maybe as little sense than him. The clusterfuxx would be glorious but counterproductive and disheartening.

I say: go, OP. Go in the scary hole but don't lead yet. Learn first.

If you want to restrict your corp to players who have never ganked or ninja looted, that's entirely up to you. That having been said, if someone is successfully ganking someone in wh space, they have to have at least a baseline level of situational awareness and balls, which is something I would assume you're looking for in the exploration game.

As far as ninja looting goes, I've stolen my fair share of loot and blown up my fair share of missioners, it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm a bad person or a risk to my fellow corpies. Some of my closest in-game associates are ninja looters, and the ninja looting space jerk, in my experience, has been the exception, not the rule. For the most part, we are having fun with the mechanics of the game and trying to 'get away' with something, which is what EVE is all about, imo. I think your corp would be the poorer for excluding these kinds of players off the bat. Still though, I recommend setting friendly fire to 'no' :)

As far as pissing off bigger corps goes, you can feel free to tell your guys not to ninja loot or gank in hisec, and enforce the policy by kicking those who do it. Sure, maybe somebody who got their knickers in a twist over the activity might dec you, but that's what diplomats are for. You might find that the wardec ends up creating more fun, not less...
