Rather curious about this one. I'm one of those lowsec people who buzzes highsec once in a while with a GCC |

Attacking someone in lowsec is not a Concordable offense. |

How it works currently:
You CAN jump into Highsec with a GCC, you CAN warp around, you CANNOT DOCK and CANNOT ACTIVATE JUMP GATES so long as the GCC is active. You also cannot cloak, this also applies to criminal timer as well as GCC.
If you are JUST CRIMINAL FLAGGED for -5 or lower you can warp, use jump gates, etc. The faction popo will try to engage you and other pilots are free to attack you thanks to your sec status, however Conccord WILL NOT respond unless you shot someone first.
Proposed Change:
GCC = NO WARP in addition to NO DOCKING and NO JUMPGATE ACTIVATION
Criminal Flag = No change.
Impact:
Suicide Gankers will need to wait out their GCC's before returning to Highsec systems.
"Spirt of the Law" argument:
When someone gains a GCC for whatever reason in Highsec they get Concorded. Their ship gets destoryed. Punishment served. Warping away was avoiding Concord and avoiding punishment, this was the exploit. However what happens once you have already been punished by Concord or your GCC was not the result of a Highsec action? Are you still subject to Concord?
Seems the OP got a little backwards with mechanics, but the ability to warp around in a system with a GCC you gained from a lowsec action or from a previous gank where you were destoryed is the heart of the problem and that needs clarification. |

GM Homonoia wrote:Actually, Lord Helghast is correct. See this article: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Global_criminal_countdownIt very clearly states that jumping into High Sec with GCC = death. That article hasn't been touched since January 2010. This really has always been the case (at least for as long as I can remember and I have been playing since early 2006 and I have been a GM for 3 years).
So the problem has been poor enforcement of the rule and we have been openly exploiting it for years. Ahh well, guess we have to wait 15 minutes between suicide cycles. |
