Where exactly in this grand scheme of things would all the "PvP ship replacement schemes" fit into ? Quite a few 0.0 corps DO have them.
and quite a few 0.0 corps only allow you to use that sceme for corp battles and improvements to corp killboards.
Go out and lose 10 vagabonds in a row, see how many replacement ships you get offered then.
Well, duuh.
There is no single company, be it real-life or EVE player corp that will want to coddle an employee that costs the company more than it helps it rake in.
By default, blah de blah words words words.
You just likened the ship replacement scheme to a paycheque. My pay does not get revoked if I spend it on stuff that is not sold by the shop I work at (use my ship at non-corp ops). It is not revoked if I spend some of it on alcohol, get smashed and spend the rest on a watch I don't need (fall asleep at the KB and get popped by a passing rifter). I may spend my paycheque any way that I wish. I may squander it in any way that I wish. It is, in fact, entirely mine to do with as I wish, and cannot be revoked under any circumstances without simultaneously firing me. No developed country allows a company to employ a person without paying them. It defies the definition of employment.
In contrast, I cannot spend my "free PvP ships" in any way that I wish. I cannot squander them. If I do so, they get revoked. As a result, the ship replacement schemes are not equivalent to a paycheque. They are, in fact, an exact analogue to being allowed to use company fleet vehicles for limited private use. Sure Akita, you can use the company van to move your new 50-inch tv, have it back by 6pm though, ok? Don't get a speeding ticket though Akita, or you'll never drive it again.
Now, thats a nice perk, but come on. If your employer told you he was going to pay you in company fleet vehicle perks, you'd quit on the spot.
The Adelaide meet, be there! |
