Edited by: Golden Ratio on 11/07/2005 17:27:27 Yes, you heard me. I want to change EVE. Tired am I of the constant ganking, the greed and the exclusivness of 0.0 alliances.
By any other MMOs standards, all 0.0 alliance members are 100% total pks. They kill anyone, without even asking questions or caring, who enter "their" "territory." They are flat out pks.
The most honorable alliances, the people who think of themsevles as "the good guys," the people who in all other games are fair a decent, ALL of them are nothing but pks.
I want this to change.
I would like to be part of a 0.0 alliance which only shoots people if those people themselves are known trouble causers. I want to be part of an alliance that promotes honesty, positive social encounters, teamwork, trust, hard work and respect. An alliance that rises above all the silly squabbling of everyone else and just NPCs, mines, does missions, explores, has pvp torurnaments and other fun player run events, and defends its people with strength.
ALL people would be 100% welcome to join. ALL people would be welcome to come into our section of space and do what they wish, as long as they are not harming others.
Why cant this happen? Why cant it exist?
Who has similar feelings?

It may not be exactly what you're looking for but the Interstellar Starbase Syndicate has permission to be in several areas of 0.0 space. We have a requirement that corporations set up at least 1 POS in order that we can claim soverinty but you will make a profit on it. Alternatively, you could join a corporation that's already part of the ISS. We are friendly with local alliances though we have rules to observe for the moment about where we can go. Hopefully relations will improve with time and they will let us travel freely in our corner of the galaxy. We can't promise that it's freely open 0.0 space nor can we promise that it's safe. If it were, it wouldn't be special and it would be just an extension of empire except that NPCs and ore are better. But we do allow anyone in who has an actual interest in ISS.
Join channel ISS Public in-game and ask about it to get more information. Let them know I sent you.

There have been some, most notably Xetic and CFS.
But there is a lot of inertia inside of alliances that leads to the dissolution of goodspirited alliances.
Most notably in the case of Xetic, the PK's got tired of being associatted with the "wusses" and tore the guts out of the alliance for thier own benefit.

leaches, neutral pirates and the likes. Been tried, closest thing was CFS but then again they were never really in charge to begin with.
Point is there are too many others who will exploit your work to their advantage, i know i would.
P.S - and that is what makes this game great  ---------------

CCP set the limit on the number of standings you can have set so you can't mark all the bad guys as bad (not enough slots), its just easier to set whois "good" and assume everybody else is out to get you and shoot all neutrals
when you can set standings to entire alliances in one go (which was promised with exodus but as always CCP failed to deliver) things might change again

I seriously doubt that, even blues get shot at by the fraghags so better setting tools will change little. It's all about containing these 'free spirits' by removing their capabilities to be all over the place and spot people via the map in places they would otherwise never go.

What this man said.

RL is not a game, Eve is. This means people can get away with doing things in Eve that are just unthinkable in RL, and so they do them because in Eve, they can.
For this reason, Eve/RL comparisons are utterly irrelevant.

the only true anwser is a socialist alliance where every worker gets a fair share, gets the same wages, and is ruled by the people.
communism ftw.
othewise as usual the management will "manage" to f*** up and cause everyone to leave. alliance leaders suck most of the time.
also why do we never hear abour any of the northern alliances? you usually never hear about any of them, guess all the action is in the south, yeee haa.

Someone has never actually been to 0.0, or in any of these alliances that he is whining about. --

Theres no good or bad in EVE, it's more of pwn or politics which puts it in quite a different category to other MMOGS.
Pwn, I shoot you because I can and like it. Politics, I shoot you only if you are not blue and/or mine my veldspar for me and/or live next to our territory and/or make a good ally for a NAP or MPP so someone else doesn't join you to pwn me etc. 
There have been many alliances (and there still are) that are friendly and don't shoot first but will actually ask you to leave or escort you out of thier space. Some will sell you mining/npc hunting passes, I wouldn't label the whole bunch as pk'ers.
Possibly explore your idea more on the Corporations, Alliances and Organisations forum, even if no one really agrees with you, you could always make your own alliance with other people that also share your ideology of a friendlier EVE.

Xetic where all for the cash. You needed to join them or pay them.
CFS is the only thing. But EVE has evolved and the CFS ideals where good, but proved impossible to maintain.

i think huzzah alliance still operates simmular to what you are asking for GR.. there has also been several other attempts, like for example CFS as mentioned above. it do work if you find people that are willing to work for it and dosnt act out of self intresst, however thoose people are rare

Who has similar feelings?
Then DO it. Spend months carving out a corner of 0.0, spend billions defending your home against incursions of all sizes. Then throw open the doors to the proletariat and allow them free reign.
Then watch as pirate incursions intensify due to the influx of targets, watch as everyone who you graciously allowed into your space flees and hides and demands that you protect them. Watch the ore resources of your space become barren and depleated while you fight to allow people the freedom to make billions and give you nothing.
Free space will collapse because if you were willing to defend your space, you'd be in an alliance. It is doomed by definition.
However, there are some groups who control conquerable refineries which allow mining in their space for a substansial cut of the refining. They operate on standings, and your corp must both be liked enough to be admitted and large enough to make it worth their while.

as a solo player as long as you avoid piracy then you should not have much trouble switching corps to chase youre own personal requirements - sure you might have to give something back but in the long run its all good

Shows how much you know... Not all alliances are by default PKs, not all alliances shoot anything not blue green or purple...

I highly doubt that. Are you telling me that if I went into your alliances space (assumnig its your alliance you are talking about) and just flew around minding my own business, I would never get shot by your alliance members?

Your rolling eyes, tech II or whatever doesn't prove a thing, you know nothing about where me or my associates have been so your post is more a non-post than anything. What are you disputing in it or did them eyes just need a good jog?

We were neutral to 3rd Front, in fact we'd never heard of them and sent a scout to their part of space, he was shot down within minutes without an communications whatsoever. Shows what I know.

Because there will always be a snake in paradise.
If someone build up something good there is always those that will come around to wreck it for no other purpose than that they can.
As long as there is good, there is also evil

and if you really want to know why you were red ... shooting down alliance members in MHC doesn't help...
