Join an NPC corporation or create your own 1-man corp and suddenly awoxing is not a problem. Otherwise no. Everything has risk. Including corp ownership. The bigger the corp, the greater the risk. Be careful as to who you let in your corp, be especially careful as to who you give roles to, and for GOD'S SAKE WHEN WILL YOU LEARN NOT TO LEAVE CAPITAL SHIPS FLOATING IN A POS BUBBLE HOW STUPID ARE YOU PEOPLE?

Corps that get "awoxed" deserve to be awoxed in my opinion. Alliances are more complicated because usually the victims have nothing to do with the recruitment process but still if you don't reset the awoxer's corp immediately thats your probelm.

Well when it comes to my alliance I'd hope the leadership is more sensible than to kick an entire corp (even if temporarily) merely because one of their members turned out to be an awoxer.
I'm pretty sure they do, but I don't remember the last time we actually had an awoxer so I can't say for certain.

Where's the part about how you actually catch the AWOXer?

There's talk about how people get into corps and what they do there, but little evidence on how to verify someone as such a player?

You're taking this space ships game way too seriously. Lay down for a bit

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

The only way to catch an awoxer is to read some tea leaves, follow your gut instinct or wait for him to make a mistake.

The term "catch" is rather misleading. Once you find an awoxer will there be nothing left to catch, because your stuff will be in his hangar and therefore unreachable. Prevention is still the best method. Limit your assets to what is essential, do not stock or hoard stuff you do not need. Run your industry like a just-in-time production. Divide all access, have separate corporations and never give anyone full access. I could just say "do not trust anybody", but it is not about trust but really about being smart. One can trust others and still be smart about how one operates.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

So what do you propose for a "solution" Tom?

Corp officers having the ability to see into private hangers and to see ship fits without a scanner would help, so they could look for Cyno's at any time.

but what other ways can an Awoxer be caught before its too late?

Awoxing is basically the act of placing a member within a hostile alliance and betraying that alliance to tackle and cyno hell down upon your unsuspecting alliance mates. This term originates from an actual player named "Awox"

So what the hell do we do about it?

In EVE our toolbox is empty, so our real power comes from "outside" and this right here folks is where the line is crossed.

+ Making friends via 3rd party activities (Guilds, clans, etc)
+ Using facebook information to present yourself as a former classmate. (Dale from the Latin Club)
+ Selling yourself as a potential business partner who could land you a big sale! (Toyota Dealership in Detroit Michican)
+ Setting up a meet IRL (2012 EVE Vegas)

All of these out-of-game tools can be used and have been used to find out who doesn't belong. Most of them are borderline or cross the line to "Creepy".


So CCP please grant us the tools required to stop spies.

"Golly Mr. Gerard, you sure have given us a lot to think about."

But wait there's more!

I have been given the dubious honor of revealing a awoxer! =) This bit of information may not be relevant to most of you but should be a *popcorn* event for those who are.

Kaylee Jakuard the "Industry Captain" of Imperial Guardians, and member of the Tribal Band alliance, is actually an informant for the alliance Black Legion.



Its not CCPs job to do background checks on potential employees. Thats up to your corps leadership.

There is no such thing as overkill. There is only under-targeting.

to the OP:

Demand an API. Study it. Have newbs join a newb corp, and recruit the competent out of that. Only recruit out of an IRL organization, so there are actual consequences for screwing you over.

Ultimately, the problem here will always be trust, and people who don't make others earn it.

Join the New Order, buy your permit today, and follow the code.

Spies are part of EVE. If you can't accept that then there are other games you could try.

I mean god damn, CCP actively promoted infiltrating an enemy and ruining their corp in one of the promotional videos

There is a thread on the "Features & Ideas Discussion" about this subject too.

Simple idea - Remove legal killing of corp mates. Why is actually allowed ?
