EVE University "DecShield" now out of Beta
We tried it a few times, going back as far as 2008, and resurrected it again recently, but after CCP have recently made some changes to their policies, we can finally put in place the full DecShield as it was originally planned.

Over the next 24 hours, a number of E-UNI members and alumni who have taken part in my 'Special Project' and sacrificed a character slot, and will be wardeccing E-UNI with various shell corporations. These wars are all being paid for by the Uni (totalling around 3-4 billion ISK) and all management of these is being maintained by the directors via the API.

The end result will be that the cost of declaring or continuing a war with E-UNI will between 500M and 1B ISK per week. Of course, in the event that someone who has a proven track record and/or the numbers to provide a good fight contacts us, we can declare war on them ourselves.

This is done with a total of 19 corporations who are at war with E-UNI, with the majority of them mutual by default, acting as 'spares' in the event we should we need the full DecShield deployed. Each of the accounts, corporations and their CEOs, are being monitored by the API, which will be polled every few days to ensure the accounts are live and in good standing.

(As far as the mechanic or mechanics used to prevent the wars costing us up to 72 billion ISK per month, I would rather not go into detail, as although I have had confirmation from CCP it is fine, the mechanic could be used in other ways - similarly, I would rather people didn't speculate as to this, at least in public, although I'm certain that a few of you may know how it works. Lets just call it a special E-UNI "sekrit"...)

Note: If you like the DecShield, and by extension the change to the CCP policies, please "Like" the post by GM Karidor. This should help show the level of support for the change, versus the 'griefer tears' being displayed, and it is anonymous to all but the poster. Similarly, please do not post there, as anything coming from an E-UNI member will look like it comes form the corp as a whole.


If you have any questions on the DecShield, please feel free to post here.

Could you share this "pretty easy" way? I would still consider it broken, but the knowledge also better should be available to everybody (and I am damn curious, too :-)

Based on what you describe, EVE University would have to be a stand-alone corporation for this to work, and I don't believe that they are leaving Ivy League when their 19 corp decshield is applied.

I get it dude. I know how to keep the costs down for a corporation that isn't in an alliance.

The question is ... how is the Ivy League keeping their costs down. As their CEO has already stated, they are paying nowhere near 72B ISK per month to keep their nineteen corporation decshield up and running. They aren't bouncing EVE University in and out of Ivy League to do this. It's, as I understand it, more along the lines of toggling the mutual/non-mutual aspect of the wardec/decshields, keeps Ivy League's costs down while ensuring a wardeccer pays maximum cost to wardec Ivy League.

Recent wardec discussion threads. Go troll them or better still make one of your own....

Well, based upon the current calendar of events leading to this point now, we can expect resolution in 2014? Will be interesting to see if the slow death that Eve has been experiencing in the past year will be complete by then.

GM Karidor needs your likes!

E-UNI whining about the unfairness of the sandbox since 2007. (Or whenever it was that Kelduum took over.)

I found that surprising as well. The CSM has been pretty much silent on the entire issue.

Thumbs up!

Eve Uni is a 1500 man alliance that plays all over Eve.

They don't play all over New Eden.

Consensual PvP is ridiculous in a game like EVE, because it'll end up where everyone in highsec does not consent, unless the goals are symbolic and of no value or consequence.

It will be war-free with your stupid little consensual system. If carebears have the choice to avoid conflict, they will. The idea that EVE was built is that nobody has a choice.

A grief player, or "griefer," is a player who devotes much of his time to making othersGÇÖ lives miserable, in a large part deriving his enjoyment of the game from these activities while he does not profit from it in any way.

OR we go to low sec and fight fair fights instead. or why not go to Null?? instead of acting like a Coward? I know some of you get your kicks from ******* people over. And I have always let it go in the past. But after spending the last 2 years ( was in low and null sec before) in highsec it has become very clear that some of you are ******* this game up. Either its because your are clueless about what you are doing. Or its actually a planed action to wreck EvE... either way it needs to stop..

False. Helicity learned this the hard way when he tried telling one of them to DIAF.

You should be able to play YOUR Sandbox? But others aren't allowed to play their Sandbox? -> AROGANT

Posting to add my displeasure with ccp. Will you guys ever fking learn? Do your fking jobs, listen to the entire player base...

So poor players in small corps get shafted.

Their shield, previously, was two or three corps. Now it is 17 corps.

Not as far as I know. My entire time in the Uni is was 2 or 3 corps (can't remember which). They called it Decshield 2.0. It was around 10 last year, before CCP told them to stop it, giving them permission for the 2/3 corp decshield they used from that point until the changes to wardec policy.

Their shield, previously, was two or three corps. Now it is 17 corps.

What? FACTS scare you? It's a f*cking fact. What do you have to hide? That you pop up here the moment someone mentions E-Uni, and you get out of sorts at the mention of a FACT ... hell, what is your problem? Unknot your panties, Asuri.

If my reply was anything, I did E-Uni a favour, by correcting a misconception on the history of the Decshield.

It's just a fact that when the masses who don't do what the rest of us do complain, we suffer..
