isn't main reason for npc corp isk sink....just up it 2x time and some peeps will bail to player controlled farming corp for sure.

this post tells me you've been down in null sec for far too long. really, so the player run economy is the problem now?

Nullsec has more ship losses (50.1%) then all other regions combined despite having only 20% of the active player population, the concept that highsec is more dangerous then any other space, except perhaps wormhole space, is a comforting untruth. Still, you touch on a correct idea - that the supply lines are very, very secure thanks to alts in NPC corps. So much so that nullsec can consume the majority of highsec's output with very little effort on their end to secure their unguarded assets against highsec PVPers.

How did you get that from my post?

Not really, most of the nullsec kills come from hi-seccers wanting to explore null sec for the first time

cos you're going on about supply lines which means absolutely nothing outside of sov null. .

you can wardec them though but i understand their cunning dec shield arrangement means it will cost you an immense amount of ISK.

Yes they do.

if you think they use their mains

The simple solution to the High Sec problem of NPC Corps is pretty obvious to me, and implementing this will add content, give greater meaning to character racial choices, and overall improve the Storyline of EvE Online.

Make the NPC Corps an active part of the Faction War system. If you don't want to be an Economical or Political Faction War targetable asset, then you can always form your own corporation. Seriously, only the Training Academys and Schools should be neutral and protected. Everything else should rightfully be either a player owned corp, or a part of the Ruling Faction of their area of High Sec. Honestly, if you don't want to be involved in EvE Online just go find another game....

I know I can hear the trolls and carebears already lining up to trash this idea, but hey this is what happens in GD.

.

then everyone will just keep their NPC alt in their noob school.

like me lol.

i have to say i like the idea of getting rid of anything but noob npc corps and making a character independent if they are not members of a corp...

that way it takes away the war dec shield as you can now war dec a character...

i would also make standard personal tax rate of 10% that goes as a fee to concord for non corp membership registration fees... the fees are used for stargate maintenance as a pr excuse....

ok then and after x amount of time or gained sp you are given the choice to either join FW of your choice or go it alone...

Absolutely!

And NPC faction navies should be able to deploy their own caps and supers in highsec as well.

What a sad post.

Simple solution is leave them as they are - working as intended.

Why the hell you can't just leave other people to enjoy the game as they see fit is weird. There is massive content all over the game, why the hell do you worry yourself about what people in NPC corps are doing.

Sandbox done well means enjoying the game in an infinite number of ways. This is the absolute strength of Eve. Why you would want to narrow it would be completely counter productive - reducing player numbers.

Encourage and recruit people from NPC corps if you are so worried they are missing out on stuff and are going to sit in NPC forever.

This is worse than misunderstanding, this is a lie. There is Zero evidence that people will quit the game for anyreason except ridiculasly expensive monocles. That "carebear conventional wisdom" that people will quit the game if you change something has not only been proven false,it's been proven false RECENTLY. people swore they would quit with the NPC AI change and nerfed heavy missiles, yet I see no slackin in the carebearin.

Because of basic game product fairness. If I pahy a sub, can make isk and can be war decced, EVERYONE beyond the noob stage should likewsie be vulnerable to the same thing (OR their should be some massive advantage to bine in a player corp to compensate.)

they are already penalized for being in an NPC corp.

not really.
