Perhaps after insurance there is another option to purchase a faster response time from concord?

Maybe even make that have a counter bribe option so a group/individual can prevent the faster response time.

Perhaps, maybe even make it a slower than normal response time. Twisted

And this is no one time fee. You will have to repay the fee/bribe everytime it has been used.

Makes the carebears feel safe, but is easily counterable if one has the will to do so.

So instead of sitting outside of stations we'll all be sitting inside a station playing 'let's see who can throw the most money away'. Spreadsheet bid wars doesn't really sound appealing.

Do you smell what the Lock's cooking?

This!

How about 11% of your income for basic protection(0.5). Gate guns and station guns is extra. And if you want special treatment (1.0) it is even more. And if someone outbids you ....

Gate/Station work anywhere in empire (because, well, that's how it works already) ... so let's not mess with that.
"Concord Tax" could work ... but why pay?

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I love this change. =D Might see a revival in high sec corps again, and less folks hanging out in NPC corps.

What is war without calculating risk vs. war?

Answer: TOTALHELLDEATH!!!

The reason TOTALHELLDEATH never really occurs is because stupid only lasts so far as it's resources can take it.

"Spreadsheet bid wars"- Thats pretty much EVE right there.

We do, it's called taxation and presumably escrow charges seeing as it's the SCC who regulate trade. But they do this from a point of view of neutrality to ensure a safe and universally regulated trade environment.

Technically its not really protection, more disincentivization, due to it being a delayed policing responce to criminal activity as opposed to prevention of criminal activity in the first place. And also the confirmed position of allowing people to have hostilies as a result of war declerations to de-criminalise hostilities without intervention as a result. This since the definition of the word protection applies to keeping something safe, but this isn't the case even with the Concord presence. Nor am I advocating it should be even with the literal contradiction as a result when looking at the SCC mandate.

But then I'm assuming your criminal mind is simply warping what would be the correct interpretation of lore as opposed to seeing it for what it is. P


Glad to hear war decs are not consensual however.

FYI you're a pubbie too, as you're not a member of Goonswarm - being their little pet doesn't really count, I'm afraid.

You pay to get your CONCORD sticker you put on your bumper. It is worth a lot for some people. If you don't pay, gate/station guns will look the other way. I expect this to transfer to lowsec aswell.

Also, you can't .01 ISK CONCORD for them to abandon their customer. It is more like double or tripple the original offer.

You might want to tell that to the "priceline negotiator".

Or to put it another way...

Confirming the Goon community only exists in EvE: Online, and nowhere else. We are absolutely not a externally based community on pay-to-play forums. Way to look informative though, :GoonHate:.

What info are you referring to because this doesn't sound right.

YOU TELL'EM!

In fact the new default is to be at war with everyone. When you create a corp you are at war with everybody in the known universe and you need to declare peace.

also declare peace functionality may be broken.


I so wish this.

This would be great if it was based on tax rates.

20% tax rate, enjoy your eve.
10% tax rate, lowsec and down you are red to everyone
5% tax rate, don't venture past 0.7
0% tax rate, red to everyone outside of 1.0 systems
(red as in wardec red).
