All the arguments about this is a PvP game and you're doing it wrong aside, there is a major drawback to allowing some characters to opt out of being shot.
This option, if implemented, would allow alliances and corporations to create completely risk free logistics chains to wherever they wanted. Put the no-PvP alt in a no-PvP corporation, give him a freighter and watch in horror as he plods everywhere and anywhere refueling POS's with impunity, repping modules.
Or how about no-PvP ninja looters? They can steal my mission objectives, and I can't do anything about it, because they cannot be shot. Poor me, I'm just SOL.
Or you mix no-PvP folks in with PvP folks in a fleet. Now the FC doesn't know who to call primary because half the guys on the opposite team can't be shot.
The fact of the matter is, Eve players are inventive, and what seems like a simple idea to you (oh hey, no one can shoot me while I mission) WILL (not may) be used in ways that were never imagined by you or the devs to give people who ARE pvp'ing an advantage. --Vel

Originally by: Renegade22 hey De'Veldrin completely didnt think of those sorts of exploits maybe then the best idea is a pve server? its the only way to avoid any of those sorts of exploits and confusion im not in any way trying to say eve is flawed in my view because of pvp etc but as i said i place a little value on the items/ships i spend alot of time and rl money trying to obtain maybe if ccp considered it they would see alot more people interested in the game as losing a ship can be a real turn off playing sometimes
The most serious issue with a PVE only server is that there would be no reason to PvE. No one would lose any ships or modules, so there would be no market factors driving production. PvE players and PvP players, despite the most rabid sychophants of both sides, cannot exist without one another. Both are necessary for the game to work, because it IS a sandbox. --Vel
