Us "dark side" content makers got to stick together

I mostly mean indy stuff, yes. Kane, you and I both operate in a sort of post-modern way as far as corps are concerned. We own several, we use them for several things, and we're only in them when it's of use to us to be. But we're by far in the minority. If I owned a magic wand the ability for dudes like you, me or Gecko to operate as we do currently would never dissapear, but we would gain benefit from being in a corp on a more permanent basis that would make it tempting for us. This would cover such things as allowing us more flexibility and more benefits from membership.

Yes, I was thinking mainly of indy corps when I wrote that, but if the organizational structures in eve were such that you could gain benefit from membership while still operating as you prefer to, wouldn't that be better? The chat channel and community we're both in at the moment, for instance, if it had some sort of in game support, such as hangers where I could stash some safari destroyers or logi anyone could use while still not being tied down with a corp name and the inability to dec who we liked or whatnot...

Well, I'm writing a bit right now about better ways to think about and organize player organizations, so the previous paragraph may be a bit off the deep end for the purposes of this thread.

tl;dr I was mostly but not exclusively meaning traditional style corporations, yes.

If you were going to go down that route, you have the permits. With Quotas.

Probably with Taxes if you go over quota. 'Forcing' people is rarely good. So let them continue mining in their NPC corp. It'll just not be good.

And as you buy the bigger and bigger quotas, the price per m3 drops.

That just incentivized larger PC mining corporations.

Keep in mind that there's a fair few reasons people spend a lot of time in lowsec that play very differently:

- Gatecamp piracy on major trade routes (Rancer, etc)
- Hunting-style piracy in quieter systems that get some carebears in them (Decon, Basgerin, etc, hunting belts/anomolies for people to kill)
- Probing down sites and running them (or just running anomolies)
- Probing down sites and killing the people that are running them
- Combat probing down mission runners, deadspace escalations etc
- Running anomolies/exploration sites as a way to bait people into scanning you down
- FW as CCP intended
- FW kiting
- FW piracy
- Anti-piracy operations

Lowsec also plays VERY differently on a high sec status character (where everyone assumes you are a bear and attack you) to a low sec status character (where you get less action as people respect or fear you).

It will take some time to get a real sense of the area.

Well you have my votes. Your vision of EVE is the closest to the game I want to play. The only question is who else do I list after you. It seems I have the choice of eith null sec "burn all the other things" or high sec "Nerf all the things" candidates....

Frankly it's depressing.

Might I suggest the wormhole 5 in any order

Ayeson
Chitsa Jason
Cipreh
James Arget
Nathan Jameson

All are good candidates and worth the vote as is Mike Azariah, none of which are from Null.

Mostly linked it, so as not to take up a lot of thread space

I've liked what I've seen Psychotic Monk saying. While he won't be in the top 5 on my ballot, he will be on it.

Follow as in:
Player drops corp/changes to a new PC corp: Player is still a WT

or:
Player joins a differnent PC corp: Second corp becomes a WT



I suspect you mean the first, and it seems a reasonable idea, if a little technically difficult

I really, really like this idea. Seven days rather than thirty.

Psychotic Monk got the top spot on both my votes. Strongly endorse.


Who are you and where's Issler?!
