EVE General Discussion

You really expect player who stayed in NPC corp for the wardec immunity would not just form 1 man corps thus generating content for no-one and adding nothing to the community?

No. You're moving your goalposts in order to avoid dissenting opinions.

"What matters, is how far the protection and incubation of new players extends."

This is also inherently wrong; there is NO protection/incubation for new players as it stands. There is no reason to ever HAVE protection/incubation for new players.

And this is exactly why you premise is flawed, everyone's number is different.

I am far, far too sensible to join any player corp that would have me.

The number is irrelevant.

The number is 100% relevant. You are assigning a time limit in which someone is forced to do something.

Nobody is forced to do anything in my proposal.

After that 30 days, the character is relegated to their default NPC corp (as in character generation) (which is wardecable)

Also, you have ignored my post in response to you earlier, here:

Yes, you are correct.

That is a degree of assumption on my part in the proposal.

However, insofar as what constitutes "that style of play" as which defines the current status quo from what my proposal would enact, boils down to one single thing:

-Wardec immunity.

I dont know how important and deciding a factor that is to what number of current NPC corp characters/players.
I cant answer that. If anyone else can, Id love to hear it.

Nonetheless, there are some mitigating factors that may take some of the edge off the discomfort my proposal would cause these particular players/characters, hopefully sufficiently and atleast significantly, 2 of which are in and of themselves a result of the proposal itself:

1) If your small (1-whatever) corp is wardecced, you can simply form a new corp.

Its not expensive, and the logistics are not a big hurdle for a small corp with basically only one players alts in it anyways (meaning no complication with dealing with other players).

2) I anticipate (rationally I think), that hundreds if not thousands of small 1 player corps will result from my proposed changes.
The sum effect of this, is similar to a shark hunting in a school of fish. Though each individual fish is a potential target, for the effort involved (in wardecing), there are just so goddam many of them, that the rest of the school remains uneaten, while the unlucky/weakest are eaten. It would be simply impractical and inordinately expensive to wardec them all, or even a significant portion of them, just to get at 1 character.

3) In the longer run (and perhaps even immediately after my proposed change) I am hoping that my proposal may also result in completely new, potentially quite enormous, HS player corps and potentially even alliances. Small, private, operators could join them, for collective security, mutual profits and shared interests. There is a real potential here for huge and significantly powerful HS corps/alliances to form in the aftermath of the exodus from NPC corps. Wardecing them might not be nearly as simple a concern therafter.

2) I didnt ask Freya. I asked you. She didnt answer my questions to YOU, because they were never addressed to her.
Or are you saying you are also Freya?
Is it an alien concept to you, thatbif you expect people to answer your questions, its normal and rrasonable to expect you to also answer theur questions to you, in return?
