You dec the corp, not the player

Stuff like this is why CCP never listens to the CSM. Fortunately for Eve players.

Basically he sees it as a defense against miner bumping

If implemented this would be used about 1% for the stated reason, and 99% for griefing NPC miners and mission runners.

NPC corporations afford too much safety.

I think you'd have to have the total time be more than 24 hours otherwise you could find someone with limited but consistent hours of play and restrict your killdec to just those hours every single day.



Why should my source of income be completely immune to the actions of my "PVP character"?

i like this idea. I think it helps move highsec towards where it should be in terms of risk vs reward.\

@ De'Veldrin I personally dont think thats an awful an idea as you make it out to be. However imposing some form of restrictions would solve the potential for serious griefing.

Possibly a limit to how many a player can have at once? Or a limit to how many per day/ time period? Although I would like to note that a simple solution would be just join a real corp. AT that point at least people have to go through war decs, but i think far too many eve players are in npc corps, provide more reasons for them to join real corps and help keep the gears turning.

If you want people in player corps, and out of the NPC corps, you need to offer them more carrot and less stick, Too much stick, and they'll just quit the game. Or they'll form 1 man corps they can shed as easily as you can change your underwear every time they get decced. Then the HS wardec corps will be screaming that they need to stop 1 man corps, or they need to lock players in place for the duration of the wardec.

Wardeccing individual players is a horrid idea because it will (not may, will) be misused to grief undesirable people from the game.

Imagine the following:

A lonely NPC hauler is noticed by some unsavory types. Baddie 1 killdecs Hauler.
Rampup timer wait, 3 hours, the the killdec starts.
3 hours into the dec, baddie 2 decs the hauler (dec the hauls? )
Cooldoown from baddie 1 starts as baddie 2 gets his kill dec activated.
Cooldown from baddie 1 ends at half way mark of baddie 2
Baddie 1 redecs at halfway mark of baddie 2, and the cycle repeats - forever, as long as they're willing to keep paying for it.

A large enough group could, in theory, halt every freighter going in and out of every trade hub that wasn't on their "approved list". Toss a few billion isk a month at decs, and shut down highsec trade.


Well, on the other hand, it would make null sec industry a lot more profitable.

The only way I can think of to make people stick in their corps through wardecs is to reward time spent in a corp somehow (and also reward corps that stay active for longer). One way to do this would be having corporation skills where your corp gains skillpoints over time based on how many members it has which grant active or passive boosts to all the members. Your access to the benefits would be limited based on how long you'd been with the corp.

basically breaking highsec. thanks for pointing that out ;p

That encourages people to band together, stick together, and work to protect what they've earned. Whether they start fighting themselves, or hire a specialized PVP corp to do it, it means more gudfites and less disband and run away. Hopefully, anyway.

But it doesn't stop everyone leaving the corp with a holding character every time they get wardecced then re-joining as soon as the dec drops. If we assume corp skills follow the pilot skill model with levels 1-5 and diminishing returns. If your corp has a skill trained to 5 you might get the benefit of level 1 after a day in corp, level 2 after a week, level 3 after a month etc... That way you have to decide how much those high level benefits mean to you before you corp-hop to avoid a wardec. Right now theres almost no downside.

This is a really, really bad idea.

I can honestly say I see no way for this to be implemented in a way that would not turn all of highsec into lowsec.

Because you'd rather pick a fight against someone's PVE/Indy character instead of their PVP character? GG.
