So an issue that seems to bother a lot of people particularly in high sec, is when some griefer corp wardecs a small indy corp. This seems to have a lot of carebears asking for high sec wardecs to be removed - which I think is both a bit sad and rather defeatist.
Currently if a 'victim' of an unbalanced wardec wishes to fight back then they have to get others to suicide gank the war targets, or to join their corp or to join in an alliance with the wardecced corp. There are various reasons why these may not be desirable and/or affordable options.
So instead what I am proposing is introducing a system that is I guess functionally similar to FW; where wardecced corps can opt in to a Concord run program that allows anyone to sign up and fight on their side. Concord pays the mercenaries so small corps don't have to bear the cost (after all, it's in the interests of the Empires to put an end to troublesome warfare no?). The number of open slots equals the disparity between the parties on each side, so if the 'offending' corp has 90 members and the 'defender' has 5, there will be 85 open slots for anyone to sign up and take part. This would need to be adaptive to reflect changes in either side, but the update window could be fairly large (i.e. once a day member inventory is checked and updated accordingly). Like FW there could be intel channels, and yes obviously there is a huge capacity for spying and all sorts of entertaining shenanigans! Possibly diplomats or intermediaries could be assigned to arrange meet ups for larger fights, or Concord itself could provide actual intelligence on where 'offenders' are (a bit like the player locator, but for the whole corp). Perhaps pirate NPC corps could offer similar location services to the aggressors so they can find 'peace keepers' this could be tied to corp standing possibly, or require a low security status or some such?
It's currently a pretty basic idea (and I'm sure someone else must have suggested it before now), but I think it does have great potential to generate a good quantity of content and gives those who feel they are being picked on by griefers an alternative to closing their corps or hiding. It's not something that is inherently pro-carebear or pro-ganker. Rather it would extend and tidy up the existing mechanics into a more practical arrangement; it would give straightforward access to white knights looking for someone to assist, it would reward them for their help making it a more standard 'career', it would give smaller corps better chances of survival, and hopefully reduce the problem of effectively denying people game time by keeping them locked in stations; it would give gankers and griefer corps extra content and also expand the opportunities for PVP in high sec.

soooo whats wrong with the current ally system
oh right since you claimed the only way to join the way is by joining the corp/alliance that has been decced you must not have even bothered to understand the current mechanics before posting.
anyone can offer to join the defenders side they can chose to do it for free or for a cost

I wasn't aware that people in NPC corps could ally with other corps? My bad... I guess that changes things considerably! |

They can't, they won't be allowed to, and if you are seriously suggesting players in NPC corps get to participate in wardecs on their terms only, you are going to get laughed out of the forum.
If you want to punch a shark, you got to get in the water.
PC corps on the other hand can offer their help to any defender in a war and if the defender accepts their assistance (for a stated price) then the corp offering joins in on the war on the defenders side.
But Cthulhu forbid people actually learn about the game mechanics before attempting to propose sweeping changes. |

The indi corp will only dodge the wardec anyway.

Stopped reading there. Open a support ticket and report griefers.

Stopped reading there. Open a support ticket and report griefers. Except that if you ask 100 highsec dwellers what a griefer is, maybe one of them actually fit what a griefer is.
So many highseccers think that any group that preys on indy corps, or suicide ganks, is a "griefer".
So before you report someone for "griefing" make sure they actually cross the line.
"These guys wardecced my miner corp boo hoo" is not greifing. Don't waste the GM's time. |
