So hears my idea.
I think this game has come a long way over the years but one thing that i think has stayed behind the times is the ability for corp members to shoot at each other without putting an official duel in place in advance.
Why is this a problem i hear you all ask?
Well as you know there are many griefers in this game who take advantage of corps who are recruiting,
They get through the security checks somehow and then Bam!!! there goes an expensive ship up in smoke.
I know this has been a feature of the game since its birth to allow corp members to shoot at each other and was meant for the purpose of testing load-outs or corp tournaments which are all good fun.
I left the game for a while and when i came back started up my old corporation and started a new crew. We have tried to be careful who we recruit but have now had 3 characters shoot down our corp mates for fun before leaving or being kicked from the corp. Now admittedly the first one duped my 2nd in command who didn't do any background checking but the second 2 appeared OK. full API keys nothing majorly wrong i had a bad feeling but we decided to give them a shot after we had a long chat to them on our TS Server. they worked so hard to convince us that they were honest decent people and i think that's just taking it too far.
I believe this to be an abuse of what was meant for good fun and believe that shooting at corp members should only be allowed through a duel. wanting to see what everyone elses opinions are related to this issue and get some developer feedback also.
Look forward to your responses

Maybe initially that was the case, but it has long developed into both a griefer mechanics as well as a major type of sabotage and spying for in game corporations and alliances. The fact that such a minor change would have far, far reaching implications that go way beyone new recruit hiring. I sympathize with you, but the situation no longer relates to just small time AWOXing.
Full API keys are just part of the vetting process. There are quite a few more steps that a person like you can take before you bring someone into your corp. If you wish, you can e-mail me and I will walk you through what other ways you can vet prospective recruits.
I understand what your saying here, but surely changing the ability to shoot at a corp member is not going to affect alliance and corporation spying? spying is a whole different level which can be used at any point. its the sneaky corp joining then shooting down a corp member i dont like. |

I totally agree that we got what we deserved and paid the price and believe me we will get them back when were ready, but i dont believe that this is something we should all have to be weeding out all the time. |

Pro tip hide your corporation and alliance information when trying to support a corporates thread. On topic, no. Just saying i support my corpmate, it was my way of bumping the post. Bumping 5 minutes after creation...yeah alright
