Also - a suggestion...

Even (and as I suspect) there aren't really anything illegal in corpthefts and suchs... there should be something in game.

I suggest, that there are implemented legal-actions ingame against scammers/corpthiefs/empiregankers and such...
This could be done by having a CONCORD rate (similar to sec-status). If someone is scamming or suicide ganking - there would be impacts in this rate... this could affect the ability to put up contracts/sell&buy orders/service fees in empire. Also someone doing a corptheft and such would have a rating of trustworthiness - which will show for any future employer if the member should hired for a corp and more over, given any access to corp assets and such...

Already there has been previously argumented that suicide gankers should not be able to recieve insurance payouyt of their ships.

To be honest û I think this should be implemented. As CONCORD shows up and destroys the suicide gankers ship shows that the action is illegal û and as in RL, any profit made with illegal actions (such as insurance payouts) are denied.
So I suggest following things:

1.If ship is destroyed by concord û no insurance payout.
2.If person loses ships often (either by just being unlucky or with self-destructing (like ppl do to get profit from insurances) û the insurance cost and possible insurance leves are changed.

2a.Example û if you lose 1 ship / day, no effect in insurances.
2b.Example û you lose 2-3 ship / day, insurance costs rice (making possible profit margins smaller) for the duration of one week
2c.More ships you lose in given time frame û the more the new insurance will cost and the longer the higher cost will be in effect.
2d.Also if your ôinsurance ratingö goes low enough û you will be denied of insurance levelsà like not being able to get platinum level and so on.

This is something that real insurance companies do û the higher the risk û the more the cost for the insurance and in some cases no insurance will be payed and or even issued.

If someone does something illegal (scams/corpthefts) ingame û they will be affected by it in the general public view, increased service costs, diminished ability to operate (scammers will get fewer contracts that they can issue) and so onà
In RL if a corp is robbed of itÆs assets and/or itÆs infrastructure is damaged (like intentionally dropping sove) they can take it to court. In EvE they canÆt do anything û which is imho a huge hole in a game world were the economy is acting and running with (similar to) RL rules and real players.
To have at least some sort of punishment in game is imho a valid request. The Name&Shame action in forums have little to no effect ingameà even pirates that gank in lowsec get the trouble of not being able to get in empire. Kinda similar for RL issue where a murdered will get hunt down and punished, but large scale white collar crime (like Maddof) would not (I know Maddof did û but this is an example). In the end the murder affects only one person (whos deadà ) but the corptheft (like what goons had) effects numerous persons (who might commit suicide and thus be equally bad as a murder) whos life may be affected and altered negatively for the rest of their lifeà
