Hi all,

My written English isn't the best but I'll do my best to make sense.

My idea is simple enough, I propose a war mechanic that would allow two corporations to declare war upon one another much like they currently do but now with a twist, this declaration would be consensual from both party's with an agreed prize at the end. For example corp A proposes a war game against corp B with each corp wagering ten billion each so the price pool is twenty billion simple. Now this would work for corps in the same alliance/Coalition as they could by all means play war games to see who is the better of the two. But we all play eve we can do better than that why not introduce the ability to levy an agree tax for an agreed time frame as well as a prize pool this would could create wars worth fighting in all of K-space, sorry WH dwellers..... s**t that me lol Shocked

Now I have played eve long enough to know there are some massive exploits that can be taken with the idea I just suggested and as eve players we have to brake everything Twisted , for instance a large alliance/corp could simply create an alt corp get both party's to agree then use the current war declaration mechanic and stomp any and all. Easy fix during this time frame no war declarations can be against either corporation but now the large corp will just use that same alt corp to keep a never ending war going against itself and dodge all other war declaration from any one else again easy enough fix the new war declaration has a max time frame of say one month not saying it couldn't be made shorter but lets just say max one month now the longer the war the longer a cool down is needed before you may enter another war game leaving you open to current war mechanics. I'm sure there are a plenty more ways to exploit this like booting members till the war is agreed then letting them rejoin and once more stomp but that could be a good scam more than an exploit after all dotlan is magic.

Well I'm sick of typing now but I'd like to get your thoughts and weather the idea has any merit.Smile

Go post in GD so we can mock you properly since that's where everyone will look at.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!
