I like to see a reduction of the war dec fee for small corporations .. or pretty much solo players with their own corporation. A one man army agianst a 100+ player corp corp should not have to pay the same war dec fee as a 200+ player corp that attacks the same corp. Give an option for a one man army (lone Wolf corp) to war dec cheaper with the limitation that no new players can join the corp during the war dec.

Thanks :>

If you can't afford it, don't do it.

War isn't meant to be cheap. One man army or not.

Then what happens when 200 people switch corp into the corp that placed the dec? It would get abused.

Try picking more lucrative targets that justify the cost of the war.

A single player corp or a very small corp war deccing a 100+ man corp does not war dec for profit... chance for profit is tiny or zero. Hence why the fee should be lowered.

I already said in the opening post that the corp should be locked for new mebers during that war dec.

Point is that I want to have targets to shoot at in High Sec. For a large(er) corp to war dec an other corp the fee is peanuts, for a small/solo corp it's not, specially when the chance for profit is slim. Wasting 100mil on a war dec while only having a chance to catch and gank a corp member in a T1 boat is hardly profitable... but it is fun. CCP should make fun more accessable for the small/solo corps.

Point is you're looking for soft targets and reaping what you sow. Complaining about the mechanics rather than taking the necessary steps to make your ventures (see what I did there?) profitable puts you in the same bracket as the people you're shooting. They want easy content, I mean fun, too. Making it easier for you to access it makes it harder for them, and it's already pretty easy for you. The price has been set, if you don't want to pay it, "fun" is only a few jumps away. It's called Low-Sec, but we tend to shoot back, and I'm guessing that's an issue for you. Interestingly enough, the rewards tend to be a lot better when the person you're shooting at isn't a defenceless mining frigate in High-Sec.

No I did not mean ganking 'Ventures'... unless it is a corp that also has players protecting the ventures. And how do I make it myself easy if I wardec a 200 player corp? It is not that I will like have an advantage, rather the opposite. In theory I could be hunted down for a week instead of me hunting them down. And compare that with a large corp that war decs an other corp, they have much better odds in making profit out of the war dec so for them the war dec fee is balanced. A lone wolf corp war dec only has potential fun as profit.
