EVE General Discussion

I do think there needs to be an counter in situations like this since the mechanic really isn't being used as intended. The ability to freely shoot corp mates in high sec won't have any real place in the game once the duel system is introduced and should be made into a Concord infraction. Alternately, let players "leave" corps in space if under attack by a corp mate and they haven't fired back by making the stasis period engage Concord protection from corpies.

Or better yet, let CEOs decide whether member on member aggression is allowed in the corp or calls in Concord.

You deny it and yet, in the same sentence You confirm it.

I feel like someone ripped You off good for recommending that fit, but maybe You got that faction launchers for free so it may have been a good deal... :/

I trust Goons all the time.

Why I trusted a Goon just the other day.

My glorious leader was a member of Goonfleet back when that was a thing and I've never had a problem.

Must just be you OP.

I dont want to pile up on you, but this never should have happened. Learn about the different types of flags in this game and how they work for or against you. This is a good place to start:
Crimewatch

I assume you shot back and got a weapons flag and couldnt dock up. Else its nigh impossible to lose a battleship at docking range of a station. This is also the reason why people go through suck lengths of baiting someone to shoot them. (undocking while flashy etc etc)

In short, if you dont want to battle till death, dont return fire unless committed to the fight. Because weapons flag will prevent you from docking in any station, jumping through a stargate, ejecting from or boarding another ship while in space, and storing a ship in a corp or fleet hangar.

Corp mates aggrressing each other in my corp is not allowed. I've seen too many good ships lost by 'accident'.

One of the first things I tell new joins is that if they lock a corp mate, they become priority target number 1 for every other corp mate on scene. Our Logi pilot is the only exception, and that is because I know his ship isn't armed.

Ever see "A Clockwork Orange"? Remember how they rehabilitated that droogie? It make take about the same for a Goon.

Honestly, going awoxing or corp thieving without even at least making a new alt is just lazy.

Look at it this way. I run missions with expensive ships, and some of the new corp members also have expensive ships. So far the new members have proven to be trustworthy.

The old corp members? What did I know about them except that they were new? But new what's? New goonie alts or just new players.

Our expensive ships have value to us because of the time and effort that we put in gathering the ISK needed to buy them. It doesn't matter that we can afford to replace them. What matters is that we don't like losing them so some nimrod can get a few seconds of pleasure out of destroying them.

We would not engage in consensual PvP in those ships. They are designed to run missions, quickly and efficiently, not for PvP. No matter what the vocal minority says, the world does not revolve around PvP. Lately I've been hearing that from a lot of other people, too.

Also, as a CEO I have a responsibility to provide a safe work environment for corp members. If that means getting rid of members that I don't personally trust, it's still a responsibility, and has nothing to do with how mad that incident made me.

All things considered, I stick by that decision, and I think that any CEO in the same circumstances who doesn't make the same decision is likely to learn the same way that I did.
