How about if NPC corps are only available to players under 30 days old. After that, players are forced into a generic corp which can be war-decced.

I'm a PVEr mate, I live in a WH but it's just high end PVE really. (Most of the time)
I've killed miners in my own and other WHs, yes.
I've never suicide ganked in hisec, but I'm warming up to that idea.

Im more in favor of there being limitations and drawbacks for being in an NPC corp.

250m a week?

A Billion?....Two? TEN?

I think it would be a good change to the game. Certainly for those hundreds of players in them. Might get them out into some real Corps.

tl:dr Immunity to wardecs is 'tehghey'.

This is most likely the best way to do anything about the dec dodging situation.

Higher bounty tax (fight NPC vet mission runner)
Higher mission payout tax (Fight NPC vet mission runner)
Refining tax (Fight NPC vet miners)
Higher sales tax (Fight NPC vet trader)
Higher cost to use factory/research slots (Fight NPC vet industrialist)

You can also have these tax go up the depending on the volume passing through the system to protect newbies since they would not generate as much or as big transaction as a veteran. The newbie mission runner does not really need to pay the same tax rate as teh veteran mission runner pulling the big ISK numbers. Same for all professions.

If you want to kill someone in an NPC corp, go kill them....

Skilled pirates are doing that already: killing mission runners without loss of ship or security standing. That is too hard for others, they need easy mode.

With the recently announced corp drop timer changes, there's just no reason not to have all those players in some form of Player run Corp, be it their own or otherwise.

Soooo much this. NPC corps need some serious reforming. The current situation is great for new and low SP characters, but is nothing more than an imbalanced hiding spot for higher sp/veterans. The Vets should have to pay more for that kind of protection.

Instead of typing up a decent explanation of why you're wrong, how about I ask you this instead:

Why should only one subset of players be entitled to an easy mode?

An easy explanation of why pirates are not killing highsec mission runners? That would be interesting.... so please do. Then I will give you a link to a Pirate group kill board that does just that.

New players should be on easy mode. If you disagree with that, what can I say.

If people are killing blues in hisec without loss of ship or security status, then it's clearly an exploit, which you should report to CCP.

So you're saying all players in NPC corporations are new players?

That's where you are wrong. There's a lot of bad player corps out there for various reasons and when a lot of people make a decision to join a player corp they don't want to have to start corp hopping to try and find a good one as it tends to mess up your employment record.

My think initially when it happened also. Yet when I followed these pirate by their kill board it was happening over and over again. One pirate in particular is killing maybe on average six ships a day... security status almost 2.0.

I now suspect it is not an exploit.

Your employment record?
This is your best argument?

NPC corp for over a year is not a glowing endorsement either.

This has never been possible.

Zero. NPC corps should never be able to be wardeced, they should be a place for beginners to get accustomed to the game. However, there should be a character age limit in all NPC corps.

Just because something goes on for ages doesn't make it not an exploit.
boomeranging, orca re-shipping, cynoing to avoid concord etc etc the list goes on and on.
Magnetar Effects...lawl

You should definitely have CCP look into it.

just like concord has ALWAYS been around, right?
