I propose that war decs have a "warzone" where the War dec is only valid within a specific constellation.
You pay a fee based on how many constellations the war dec is active in (and there would be a maximum number of constellations the dec can be active in at once).
Each additional constellation costs more to add then the last one.
The higher the security status of the systems within the constellation, the higher the cost.
Perhaps the cost of having a war dec for a constellation against a target is: (average system security status) * (base war price) * (number of constellations in which a war dec agaisnt the target is active)
Thus on average a warzone of two constellations is 4 times as expensive as a wardec in one constellation.
A warzone of 3 constellations will cost just over double a warzone with 2 constellations
A warzone of 10 constellations will cost 10^2/9^2 = 1.23 -> only 23% more to expand it from 9 to 10 constellations
Single constellation wardecs would be cheap, so its easy to perform "interdictions" against opposing corps - but it will quickly become quite expensive to wage a widespread war.
I would expect constellations with trade hubs would be frequent war areas.
Right now there is a war dec on the alliance my main is in - made by some small 4 man corp, at least 2 of which are alts.
Is my understanding that this war dec is incursion related.
In the system I propose, the war deccers would make the war dec valid in high sec constellations with active incursions.
They've accomplished their goal, at least with me, as I've taken a break from Incursions due to the war dec.
But at the same time, I'm also not doing lvl 4's in my shiny ships.
If its goonswarm and their interdiction on high sec gallente Ice - they could war dec corps only in constellations containing Ice.
They could cheaply shut down one constellation with Ice, and it may be cheaper to war dec every corp they see mining ice than to lose ships to concord.
I'd also propose war decs against noob corps are allowed, but the war dec is only active in systems with a security rating of 0.5 or below.
This would be of limited utility, but it would still have its uses (like Ice interdictions) |
