Warfare & Tactics

Leave corp, join npc corp (immune to wardec), If you like they guys in the wardecced corp just start a private channel.

Other than that, all get in T1 frigs and fight them, have fun, learn tactics and cry less about pvp in a pvp game

ITT: NPC corp OP asks how to avoid wardecs.

Oh we've tried. We formed a fleet with logi and some cruisers, only to be chased away by Bhaalghorns and a fleet of t3 and neutral reppers. Thing is, this has been going on for weeks on end now. It is hard to keep an alliance together if were ordered to just stay docked for that long....and its in the end hurting moral. Kind of doubt we can muster up enough guys to even try a fleet similar to that again.

Congratulations, you're losing a war because you're weaker than the aggressor. That's seems pretty much how a war should go to me, I'm not seeing what the problem is.

This is normally the part where you try and negotiate a surrender.

Best advice is to rethink why you are getting wardecced all the time. Possibly your previous wars didn't end very well? You are giving away easy kills? As other posters have pointed out starting a corp is a way of shedding your wardec-immunity in exchance for more gameplay options, options that allow you to make more profit or operate more efficiently in PVP. The reality of the matter is that any corp should be ready for PVP, and they better enjoy it too!

If all you want to do is carebear and not fight, you could seek mercenaries to help you or look into an Alliance to support you. But nothing in EVE comes for free, mercs will want to see payment and Alliances need to replace combat ship replacements during war. It will be expected that you chip in and do your part in defending what is yours. The best long term solution is to get some people in the corp that actually enjoy PVP, and are willing to lose ships looking into ways to best annihilate the bad guys. Give these people some roles and permissions like a special POS hanger for T2 mods, make life easier for them and make PVP a fun occasion.

Did you know?

A war dec used to be 2 million a week. Not [minimum] 50m.

Fight them, or just create a new corp, it's ~2 mil to create a new corp and you can do this much more quickly than they can dec you so you can burn them through hundreds of millions (if they're so inclined to keep dec'ing you).

The game has some pretty solid ways of dicking other people around if you really want to.

Ok here i'll write you a comprehensive 3 step guide on how to really enjoy Eve

1. Realize that high sec sucks.

2. Leave high sec

3. Never EVER return.




Makes the game a LOT better.

All things being equal, when facing a superior fighting force, conventional warfare will not end well for you. Fortunately, there are a myriad of ways to make things not be equal.

First and foremost, don't give them worthy kills. If they realize they can farm more than 50mil worth of loot or killmails (Sometimes that's all they're in for) from you per week they will not leave.

Second, not that the next steps are in any order, keep your cards close to the table. If you immediately throw everything you have at them, they will know what to expect. However, it is difficult to discern "Everything they have" from "Spare parts in their hangar" when fighting against an unknown hisec corp that is mostly industry pilots. This makes it easy to build them a false sense of security by throwing a few trash-fit frigates and cruisers at them early on to test the waters. If they think that's all you have, they will be more likely to let their guard down.

Third, if you can, find friends. This might seem like a cop-out, but this can turn the tables in any engagement. There exist many pilots in eve looking for fights, and many corporations that will gladly snatch an opportunity to go kill someone. Ally yourselves with such a group for the duration of the war. This also can help you get combat experience from combat pilots, which is very valuable if such a situation should ever arise again.

Fourth, deception can turn any engagement to your advantage. Lure them out with something like a Battle Iteron. Once again, it's much easier to make someone panic (and subsequently make very poor decisions) when they are sure of an outcome that not only does not happen, but begins to reverse itself very suddenly.

Remember, being wardecced doesn't have to end with you smashing your adversaries into the dirt. You just need to make it less than worth it for whoever you're fighting. You can take this as an opportunity to learn how to effectively fight in packs. Just because you're inexperienced doesn't mean you can't make a dent in their forces. If you loose ten of those frigates taking down one of their battlecruisers, you have dealt at least five times the financial damage to them that they dealt to you. It's also quite embarrassing to perceive yourself as the superior force then get your shiny ship ganked by a bunch of industry pilots in frigates. That alone might make them go away.

In the end, if you really can't manage to make any of this work, negotiate your surrender. This is, however, a last ditch effort, as there is no guarantee they won't wardec you as soon as they get their big payout, and if they blab to their friends that you're soft targets, you will soon have many others trying to shoot you down. Remember, Eve is closer to real life than to other MMOs. Nothing is ever fair, and sometimes life just ***** on you. Fly safe, fly sneaky, and if at all possible, never make it worth their while.

You got mail :D

Sounds nonsens to me, why would you pay 11% tax to a NPC corp?
