1. Place bounties on players
2. Place bounties on corps
3. Exist outside of systems less then 0.9 (Maybe 0.8)
4. Rent manufacturing or research slots in any station that is not owned by their NPC corp
(This goes both ways. Those slots should be reserved for the members of that NPC corp.)
5. Have jump-clones in any station not owned by their NPC corp.
6. Going with #3; be able to mine ice or ore outside of their allowed systems (1.0 or 0.9; alternatively 0.8 if allowed in those)
7. Activate modules on players that are not in other NPC corps.
8. Place market orders and contracts. Market ORDERS. They can still buy and sell using the 'immediate' function.


3.a. Perhaps it should be that they are allowed to enter systems lower than 0.9 (0.8), but they should be restricted to what they can do in these systems. I don't want to suggest that 'anyone should be able to fire upon them as if in a war', but that might be an option.

There are many aspects of this game that are ruined, just ruined, by actions of players in NPC corporations. The bounty thing is one of the major ones. Hopefully, someone out there will agree that the leash needs to be tightened on most of the people that use the NPC Corporation Exploit when performing harmful actions towards another player or corporation.

I do not wish to force people to 'play my way' or anything like that. I feel that NPC corporations offer a place for newer players to cut their teeth in this game. But, it also allows older players (alts) to abuse the system and hide behind an anonymous flag, so to speak. Also, people who use an NPC corporation alt for 'legitimate reasons' (market alt is one of them) should not be affected by this in a negative fashion. Most market alts don't even undock. So fear of being wardec'd shouldn't be an issue. And, if you are one of those market alts that does undock, well... Welcome to the way the rest of us play! Now you have to worry about your actions and declarations just like the rest of us.

This thread was opened to discuss this thought process. And to meet other like-minded pod pilots. For those who think this needs to be moved to a different forum (Feature & Ideas), keep your opinion to yourself and let the Devs sort it out. But, as much as it might need to have a discussion in the F&I forum, I feel that it also needs to be brought up in GD. Even though I know that a bunch of people will troll this.

Discuss.
