Just treat them like any other corp and base the cost on size.
Of course, if this were allowed you'd just see people create **** tons of one-man corps with which to drop and recreate on a whim.

CCP could easily handle that in code if they were willing to define what a "rookie" actually was.

Rather than being able to wardec NPC corps we should be advocating something a little different.
Anytime someone starts a mission, a random NPC corp member is teleported to the mission area with their current ship and becomes the "rat" for the mission (you could even have several of them being "waves", just hold the next guys in a limbo state). They can't leave the mission area until they or the mission runner is dead. The system could choose players for missions based on what class of ship they are flying at the time: L1 = pods/shuttles, L2 = frigates/industrials, L3 = destroyers/cruisers, L4 = battlecruisers, L5 = battleships.
In this way we accomplish several goals:
1. PvP is added to missions.
2. Missions become less of a grind.
3. NPC corp members are properly punished for avoiding wardecs.
4. NPC corp members are forced to PvP.

Angang Ostus wrote:I think a neat mechanic would be if you're able to pursue war targets into systems with security levels equal to or lesser than your corp's standings with the NPC corp. So if your standing with Brutor Tribe is above 7 then you can shoot with impunity in 0.7 or lower systems. So you'd have to grind standings with that corp to be able to continue the war and have access to higher security areas. 0.8 systems and above would most often still be safe havens.
This, but only if you can shoot anyone with impunity if your standings are high enough. War targets should still be shootable anywhere.

Herzog Wolfhammer wrote:I always felt that people who want to side with Sansha should get the opportunity to be the rats in the incursions or at least join up with them. From an RP approach this would fit and the incursions were a kind of letdown for Sansha sympathizers. I would even hope in such a case that the Sansha helpers could get LPs from the nation for incursions they manage to thwart.
tbh I'd sign up for that in an instant. Would be just as cool to sign up with Serpentis and become a "belt rat". Look out miners!
Herzog Wolfhammer wrote:Beyond that point, this entire thread should be consigned to the "bored gankers asking for easy kills" file.
I disagree. Most people who want to deal away with NPC corps want to ruin risk-free alliance hauling and shake up those "forever n00bs" who mission non-stop and give actual newbies terrible advice that consigns them to a boring and unfulfilled EVE life. And, as has been pointed out, NPC corps are not entirely the haven of ****** carebears.

No, you go and sit naked in the corner all by yourself, I'll be elsewhere, thanks.

Incorrect, high-sec is about 13% of systems total, including WH space. It also has (probably) the highest concentration of wealth and idiots who can be parted from said wealth.
