How about adding a conscript recruit function for all those toons hiding out in NPC holding corps?

I know CCP never really intended that players avoid the full EVE experience by remaining in NPC holding corp forever (cowards). Nor did CCP intend for holding corp to become a wardec proof refuge for pirates and ganker toons to conduct business.

I've never understood, why some get their panties in a twist over NPC corps. They've always been here and it doesn't stop them from being shot.

I put it down to a lack of creativity personally.

How about that:
GÇó Every toon who is member of a NPC corporation and older than 21 days will be automatically conscripted by a NPC corporation participating in FW.
GÇó That said corporation will be henceforth the fallback-corporation, too.
GÇó The only way to avoid it is to become member of a player-run corporation GÇö or found a new one.

After all, the Empire is at war! And every brat not otherwise occupied is needed in the military. All-in.

That way there's no immunity to wardecs. That is, if you're okay with mandatory PvP GÇö or if you opt-out by doing your business in a off-the-path silent solar system.

This fascination with NPC corps is due to their protecting new players from the cowards who want to grief them while they're still not up to speed with the mechanics of this game. It must rankle; wanting to pick on newbs but knowing concord will be on your tail faster than you can scream "mummy, I've wet myself again".

So then, they are randomly assigned a FW group. Congratulations, you've locked them out of a large amount of High Sec space without their consent. Congratulations you've further unbalanced the membership that each militia has. Congratulations, people in FW who avoid PvP as much as possible.

Honestly, this thread should be war deccable.

And vice versa... cowards who hide in NPC corps and go around bumping miners then hide behind concord protection and "legitimate" game mechanics... If only those NPC corps could be decced...

Players can skip FW by joining or founding a player-run corporation.

There will be an end to avoiding consequences, though, as the (imperfect due to ganks) NPC-corporation immunity will end after that grace period GÇö without introducing any new complicated game mechanics.

Good idea, but needs a little fix: after N days, you are drafted into one of the 4 biggest sov holding alliances.

NPC corps aren't much of a threat to anyone.

even when used by bumpers and gankers, if u war-decced such gankers they would just dock up for a week and nothing would be accomplished.

if u have trouble with being bumped or otherwise harassed by ppl in NPC corps, then move to a different region of space and continue whatever u were doing. if the griefers follow u to every region u go to, it apparently constitutes as harassment and is petitionable.

Will not fly.

The big sov holding corps do NOT want just anyone joining.

Most of them want full API, your first born daughter to sell into sex slavery, a blood sample, an okay rep, and the ability to
fly certain ships, and a SP minumum.

Corps in Goonswarm want a Something Awful account with a post history and/or sponsership and would cry mureder on folks not in the clique being put in there automatically.


Listen, I like to carebear and try to get the occasional tear, too.

I think a good compromise is that school NPC corps are not touchable but you can only be in them for X amount of months. Just like real life, you can not stay in the college dorm forever just like real life.

Other NPC corps being deccable may be something to look at. Only think is this: All those NPC corps are part of a NPC alliance/empire. So, if you declare war on one, you are essentially declaring war on what ever empire. I do not think the Caldari would like it if you started shooting folks in say, Perkone who is a major player in NPC politics. You should not be able to dock in that space and probably have the gate guns and station guns fire on you. You should also have to pay based on the cost of ALL members of all NPC corps in that empire and in turn be KOS there.
